Were The Panthers Running Up The Score?

[TRW]

Yep. But no more than BA does quite often.

No problem at all with it. Stop them if you are offended by the move. Although I agree going for 2 was a bit *******

 

[BigRedRage]

if the tables were turned, I'da enjoyed watching us rub it in. Doesnt bother me. We sucked and with how we played, we deserved the ass kicking.

 

[azdad1978]

Don't like it then stop them from scoring

 

[Cardsfanstl]

Going for 2 up 20+ isn't part of the game nor is taking group photos with over 2 mins left.
Can't believe I have to root for Denver.

Going for 2 I heard was the first time they have tried in this year so not to upset about it. Now taking group photos was very low class in my opinion.

 

[Shane]

Not complaining about a blowout. They happen but going for 2 was in poor taste. There simply was no need. Scoring a TD is one thing. Going for 2 is rubbing your nose in it. Karma begets karma and Carolina will get karma at some point.

Passing deep and trying to score up 3 + TDs last minutes of 4th quarter is equally worse didn't see you complain when Arians was doing that??

 

[jmt]

So many salty fans here and other Cards gathering places. Where were they when we were trouncing some of the teams we did this year? Throwing when we were up big like Shane said, or challenging a safety towards the end of the game when it was pretty much over? Take the loss and deal with it. These are professionals, not little leaguers or unbalanced high school teams. I haven't heard our team bitching about it (maybe someone did and I'll be corrected here), so I don't understand why fans do this crap. Stop somebody if you don't want to get embarrassed, or **** if you get destroyed like we did. I hope Carolina does the same thing to Denver and sends Payton and his big ass head into retirement.

I agree. Who cares, we got spanked and the better team won. Now go away Peyton.

why? the game was completely over and they were going to the Super Bowl. Of course they're going to be going bonkers over on that sideline.

no they should act somber to protect the feeling of the losing team.

I really want to challenge this because I've seen it said multiple times around here. There is a HUGE difference between passing the ball all around the field in a middle of the year road game against an inferior opponent and going for 2 when you are up 25 in a playoff game at home. Tell me how this compares again?

Don't drag in the other arguments about dancing and skittles and dabbing... I don't give a crap about that stuff. I am specifically talking about a clear and present attempt to go outside of normal tendency to score another point in a game that was clearly out of hand on the biggest stage to date.

didnt bother me one bit. I was more irritated our our defense not stopping them than whatever carolina was doing.

Did you think BA was classless for challenging for the safety they didn't call against Green Bay when we were already up big in wk 16? We didn't need the points there.

Totally different. As a coach, you want your defense to get points if they put in the work. A safety means a ton to a defense. You also want the call to be right - regardless of the scoreboard at the time.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

This is the NFL. There is no such thing as running up the score.

+1

Our job is to stop them. When we win big we never have enough points IMO. And I don't feel bad putting them on the board. Remember the Vikings who blew a 31 point lead.

Never. Enough. Points.

 

[ajcardfan]

Let's not forget they lit up our defense to the tune of 17-0 before we had a single turnover. It's completely on the Cards for giving up 49 points. Had BA made the decision, if the roles were reversed, I'd have no problem with it. So, I have no problem with Rivera doing it either.

It's not Pop Warner for chrissakes.

Hopefully, the roles will be reversed next season.

 

[Shaggy]

To be honest. I don't think it was just to run up the score. If you heard, Joe Buck said this was their first 2 pt conversion attempt all season, and may have wanted to test one out before the SB. That's my take.

When they offense doesn't get things done, the D's mentality isn't there either.

I heard it too, but it was said in a more questioning manner, like "A 2 point conversion? They haven't done one all season..." I took it as they were scratching their heads in the booth as well.

 

[sunsfan88]

Only losers would think they were running up the score. If Cards had a problem with it, then stop them.

 

[sunsfan88]

did you get upset when dan williams was eating skittles celebrating before the game was over when we beat Seattle?

The game was far beyond over at the two minute mark, should they just sit around with straight faces until its over?

Complaining about running up scores and excessive celebration is only something losers do. Even in defeat, I am not going to whine.

^this.

Norman: 'We could have put a 50-burger' on Cardinals

Carolina has yet to play a snap in Super Bowl 50, but Panthers cornerback Josh Norman is already keeping score.

"I watch," said Norman after Sunday's 49-15 NFC title game thrashing of Arizona, per the New York Daily News. "I'm not dumb to what goes on. So all them guys that's sitting up there picking the Cardinals, great. And thinking that they're gonna blow us out because we've never seen a wide receiving corps like that, great.

"Look at what we showed today," Norman said. "We could have put a 50-burger up there! Coach pulled us back!"

Norman has played with a chip on his shoulder all year, putting together a remarkable campaign for a Carolina defense that led the NFL in takeaways before coaxing four picks and a pair of fumbles out of Cardinals passer Carson Palmer.

"You don't put up 49 points by just getting out of bed in the morning. You do it by hard work," Norman said. "People still saying this is a fluke. I'm sure they're going to go back and say, 'Well, the Cardinals had an off night.' You know what, continue to make excuses for teams. We enjoy it. We love it."

Looks like Cardinals were lucky that the Panthers didn't score even more.

You didnt see them take out Cam and start kneeling the ball?

That's actually the point I was trying to make. We did nothing to stop them. They ran through us, in the words of George C. Scott as Patton, like crap through a goose.

When that happens....the score goes up. And up.
