We were very lucky with how it worked out. The runs and zero urgency but still burning timeouts along the way. The PI call was the thing that saved us otherwise we might have been kicking a FG there with only 1 TO left.
They used 1 timeout, right? Still had one in the bag, I think. With 2 minutes and at midfield, there really isn't that much urgency. That's plenty of time to score and leave zero time for the other team...which is exactly what happened and the Panthers even burned a TO on the drive.

Too much individual player blaming & not enough coach blaming in here during that early disaster.

Good to see them bounce back though.

Some of us have been saying the coaching sucked the entire half including that last drive. The difference is the Panthers absolutely suck as a team.

I’ll just disagree if the guy doesn’t grab Trey he likely is able to jump and catch the TD. The whole point of running was to burn the clock and not give it to them. We used a TO but only had two because of the stupid challenge. Not to mention they likely go for it on 4th down. If anything they went away from Connor too soon hand it to him and let him pound in the TD it’s 4 down territory when you’re losing to the 3-13 panthers. Worked out perfectly so seems weird to complain about it the way the rest of this game has went lol. All good….

Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope. :cool:

Where is Benson? Can he get some run in the second half to hit them with a little fresh speed? Connor wearing them out mix in some fresh legs as well…

Would Mack Wilson Sr. be the spy on Young if he were playing? @Harry
No need to spy Young if the tackles rush under contol. You can’t open the middle like that when your team is playing man. There’s likely no one behind you in the middle. A spy ties up a player from coverage and Young actually doesn’t run that much
