| This season started with an all but unified chorus against Ron Rivera’s eight years long penchant for running the ball and punting in all the wrong places. I’m not surprised that he has become more aggressive as the season has worn on. Play off scenarios tighten at the same time as the coaching staff is learning just who they can and can’t trust in make-or-break situations. This has been much of the recipe behind Rivera’s late season winnings streaks. It is frustrating to watch [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Wes-Horton-Jersey]Wes Horton Color Rush Jersey[/url] , and creates opportunities to sink a season before it really begins, but it is who he is at this point. While it isn’t surprising to see Ron go for the occasional fourth down, I never thought I would see the day where half of the fan-base is yelling at this coach for a not-strictly necessary two point conversion attempt. This season got weird.I have mixed feelings about the decision to go for it and the play they burned a timeout to call. But we aren’t going to dissect the play itself. This column is about coaching decisions, so let’s analyze the logic behind it and what that might mean for the rest of 2018 and beyond.The easiest thing to see about that play is that it wasn’t why the Panthers lost. With three timeouts and over a minute left, it is hard to believe the Lions couldn’t get back in field goal range before the end of the game. Matt Prater was as reliable as our memories of Graham Gano. The Panthers were in a rough spot and I don’t think there was a right decision.What I do like is the willingness to go for it. That’s an edge the Panthers haven’t had all year. It’s an edge they have to have so long their defense is treating every game like a walk through. If a team is trading touchdowns with you all day, which is what the Lions game easily could have been if Funchess could catch a ball and Kerryon Johnson had remained healthy, then the only way to win is to ultimately respond to their seven points with your own eight.Monday Night Football showed us the future is offense. Not every game will feature 100+ points [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Stephen-Curry-Jersey]Stephen Curry Jersey[/url] , but a true contender will need to be able to win those kinds of games. Maybe your team has a defense, maybe it doesn’t, but you need to have a plan to win a game either way. Sunday’s loss to the Lions showed an understanding of one basic principle of this new NFL: the team with the most points usually wins. That’s a new perspective for Rivera to acknowledge. That is progress I can root for. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Tyler Lockett knew if Russell Wilson bought him a few more seconds, he could spring himself for a big play.Wilson did just that, sidestepping a few pass rushers in the pocket and enabling Lockett to slip behind cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and haul in a 43-yard completion at the Carolina 10. Wilson then took a knee twice and spiked the ball once to set up Sebastian Janikowski’s 31-yard field goal as time expired, allowing the Seattle Seahawks to complete a 30-27 come-from-behind win over the Panthers on Sunday.“When Russell keeps it alive [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Shaq-Thompson-Jersey]Shaq Thompson Color Rush Jersey[/url] , we understand how hard it is for defenders to try to guard somebody more than five seconds,” Lockett said. “If it is longer than four or five seconds, it puts us in a better position to get open.”Article continues below ...Wilson threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns, putting the Seahawks (6-5) firmly in contention for an NFC wild card spot. Lockett finished with five catches for 107 yards and a touchdown, while David Moore had four receptions for 103 yards and a score.Wilson said Lockett was working on a move in Friday’s walkthrough practice where he broke off the play and went deep.“There was a play where he kind of stuttered and then went. He said, ‘Hey, I’m just working on something [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Kawann-Short-Jersey]Kawann Short Jersey[/url] , just in case we need it,'” Wilson said of Lockett. “The funny thing is we needed it.”The Panthers, also 6-5, suddenly find themselves on the outside looking in at the NFC playoff picture after losing three straight and having their 10-game home winning streak snapped. The prospect of Carolina missing the playoffs would have been unimaginable at the beginning of the month.“Three weeks ago if somebody had said this was going to happen I would have slapped them,” said quarterback Cam Newton, who completed 25 of 30 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns.Wilson tied the game with 3:26 remaining when he gambled on a fourth-and-3, lofting a 35-yard touchdown pass to Moore [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Vernon-Butler-Jersey]Vernon Butler Color Rush Jersey[/url] , who beat Corn Elder in the corner of the end zone. Panthers starting cornerback Donte Jackson injured his quad on the first play from scrimmage, which proved to be an issue for Carolina.Newton completed all 14 pass attempts in the first half for 159 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel to give the Panthers a 13-10 lead at halftime. Eight of those passes went to Christian McCaffrey, mostly on check-downs.ANOTHER BIG MISSWilson’s big completion to Lockett came after Graham Gano missed a 52-yard field goal with 1:40 left in the game that would have given the Panthers the lead.It snapped a remarkable string of 41 straight made field goals at home for Gano, including a 63-yarder earlier this year to beat the New York Giants.“It’s really, really frustrating,” Gano said. “I’ve got the leg to make those kicks [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Cam-Newton-Jersey]Cam Newton Color Rush Jersey[/url] , that’s why it’s a tough one to swallow. They’ve got the faith in me to kick them from far, so I’ve got to go out there and make them.”It’s the second straight week Gano has let the Panthers down. Last week against Detroit, he missed a field goal and an extra point in a 20-19 loss.WASTED DAYThe Panthers spoiled a record-setting performance from McCaffrey, who had a franchise-record 237 yards from scrimmage and two more touchdowns. He had 17 carries for 125 yards and 11 catches for 112 yards, becoming the first Carolina player to surpass 100 yards in both receiving and rushing in the same game.“That’s all great but I would rather win,” McCaffrey said. “It sucks when you lose. A lot of guys played well and those ones hurt.”Said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll: “McCaffrey was awesome. Cam was awesome. But when they got into the red zone, we stopped them. We had four big stops [url=https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Michael-Palardy-Jersey]Michael Palardy Jersey[/url] , and they were all crucial.”CARSON CARRIES THE LOADChris Carson got the bulk of the carries for the Seahawks’ No. 1-ranked rushing attack, carrying 16 times for 55 yards and a 1-yard touchdown . He had a remarkable 15-yard run on which he nailed the landing — and kept running — after getting flipped on a low tackle by Panthers safety Eric Reid.Overall, Seattle gained just 75 yards on the ground — about half of what they normally average.“Luke Kuechly is one of the best linebackers in the game, so you know he’s going to make a couple plays,” Carson said. “For the most part we did what we could do in the run game.”NATIONAL ANTHEMReid continued his protest of racial and social injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. Seattle defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson and offensive tackle Duane Brown remained in the tunnel for the anthem as they have in previous weeks.INJURIESSeahawks: Doug Baldwin (groin) was a game-time decision, but played for Seattle and had five catches for 39 yards. … Fullback Tre Madden left in the second half with a shoulder injury.Panthers: Jackson did not return after his quadriceps injury. … Punt returner Damiere Byrd left the game with an arm injury in the first half and did not return. … Wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) did not play.UP NEXTSeahawks: Host the 49ers next Sunday.Panthers: At the Buccaneers next Sunday. |
