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.

      SI Panthers Mock Draft

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
