Someone please help me. Has there been any word from any of the Panthers as to why they went for two when they were up 25 in the 4th quarter? Has any Cardinal player or coach said anything about it themselves?

Listen I know you can't cheap shot a guy anymore but not one person on the team had a problem with it?


What the F is up with Ted Ginn? He was talking about this being personal? Really?

If we didn't like it, then we should have stopped them. They took a knee on 3rd and 4th down late in the game, and did not kick the field goal which would have put the 50 burger on us. If they handed it to a running back, we probably wouldn't have stopped him. I thought that was classy of them.

We have a class group. I'm glad there was no extra curriculars. Take the medicine and walk off the field.

Didn't hear about the Ginn personal thing.

I thought the broadcasters were saying Carolina hadn't run a two-point conversion play all season. So it may have been a chance to practice for their next game.

I think it was obviously in response to our going for (and getting) two. If we hadn't, they wouldn't have. Period.

I'm all for taking your medicine but they were up 25 with like 8 min to go. They were worried about a comeback? Lol.

They were up 25.

Yeah, I watched the game. Total dick move. Another reason I hope they lose to Denver in the Super Bowl. This wasn't on a whim or for practice. They wanted to be jerks and go for two since we had just done it.

It was classless and unnecessary! Kick the extra point and move on. I hope Denver kicks their ass but wouldn't count on it, it really seems like the NFL loves them some Cam Newton. I love how they get zero taunting calls and they do it all year long after every freaking score, I'm surprised they all don't get in a damn chorus line in the endzone.

That DB intentionally went helmet to helmet from behind on our receiver well after the play and never got a flag. In the AFC, Brady got away with three obvious intentional groundings. I will give him the fourth one. Sometimes I think this is more like the WWE.

I did not hear this but even if they did, practicing the two point play with no pressure made sense and I do not have a problem with them going for two

No problem with them going for 2. Up to us to stop it. I'm sure their coach wanted the practice to be ready for the next game.

They could have put up 50 on us and didn't.

I thought that was why they did as this became almost a practice game for them.

If it was the first one they tried all year then makes sense to practice it. The reason I think we went for 2 pts was to be only down by 20 and if by some miracle the cards come back they could win with three TDs and the extra point.

going for the throat and closing the game down. I have no problem with it. We would do the same thing in many situations.
