Play selection during the last two possessions was dog awful

The Panthers offense ran 8 offensive plays in two possessions with their last lead of the day.

Seven rushes vs. one pass attempt. You know what those runs went for? 26 yards, or 3.7 a carry. It produced one first down. Before that, the Panthers were rushing for over 6 yards per carry.

The punting on 4th down didn't cost us the game nearly as much as not keeping the playbook open. You don't start running to daylight when you're leading by one point in this league.

Of course nobody is mad about this but if he threw 7 times and ran once there would be like 25 fire Chudzinski threads. So when people like to talk so often about how we abandon the run when losing it was actually running too much that shot us in the foot yesterday.

When we get into the 4th quarter with a lead, every pass we throw is suddenly in danger of being pick 6'd. We play like a bunch of pussies on offense late into the game. The defense did their job and the offense didn't repay them. We should have continued to play football instead of killing time and hoping they don't comeback on us.

Dance with the girl you came with, right?

If you had enuff success to get the lead, why all of the sudden change things? Rivera needs to "develop" as much as any player we currently have. Hopefully he is not a finished product.

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
