He looked pretty good today
a few rookie mistakes but all in all he showed a lot of potential

Even so...he drove them all the way down to the GB goal line...
…before turning it over on downs. Would of been a tying TD. This kid is pure gameday.
he's a rookie
and the panthers o-line is suspect, next season the panthers will be a hellva lot better.

You give your special teams a chance to see if they can a big return (however unlikely). Not sure why this is such a bad thing.

I'm confused did Denver have a TO?
Because if they didn’t they would have struggled to get a field goal off .
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
Yes. They had one left.
10 seconds is enough time to get a FG play in.
then it real doesn't matter
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
Pointless
It would of if one of our players got hurt, like Leon. Why not let Denver run it down to 1 second if that was all they were going to do?Just dumb.
by lbacker2179 on Sep 18, 2011 5:40 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
This is going to be one those pointless "debates"
where it really doesn’t matter but we’ll argue it for ages.
totally agree...it didnt hurt anything at all
and it could have helped the Bengals but I am done b/c i wont get through to anyone lol
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
Agreed
Still think it’s ok to call the TO though. If you get a big return to midfield or farther, you give your team a chance with a play to get in field goal range. Seems like an ok TO.
As far as the injury goes, injuries can happen at any point and we can’t live in fear of injuries when we are trying to win the game.
Meaningless play
True, but why risk it for a meaningless play. Just saying it was a bad call. It is a pointless argument.
