Garthia played with balls last night

Delhomme sucks, and the D still has to play better, but Lito's INT wasn't exactly 'served up on a silver platter'. It was a pretty good, highlight reel INT.

good play by lito but an unbelievably dumb call by fox....nice to see a coach from another team be a dumb ass for once

Fox doesn't call plays, Dan Henning does. And I believe that was a "check with me" route. That's why we saw Delhomme pat his ass to signal Keyshawn to run a fade.

Just for the record, I'm sure Garthia is playing with balls tonight as well.

its on the head coach...fox has final say in terms of how low % they want the call to be...all they needed was a fg to go into ot...you want to minimize the chances of an int there so theres absolutely no way they should be running a fade route

if delhomme checked to it then its on him for being an idiot and the coach for allowing him to call his own play there

I forget if the Panthers had any timeouts left but with like 33 seconds left on the clock and the ball on the 7 yd line, I'm surprised they didn't try running the ball against the softest run d in the league.......or at least run play action. That was as dumb a call as Sherman opting to punt on 4th and 1 in the playoffs a few years ago after Ahman Green had been running all over the place.

even with no timeouts you can run the ball there....its not like the guy could have busted off a 30 yarder and made it so you couldnt get to the line and spike the ball

thats a play where you run it or look for a quick hook route to the te or an in route to a wr and if they are clearly there you throw it out of the end zone and take your chances in ot....you dont throw a fade route up for grabs

SD_Eagle5 · December 07, 2006, 08:23:06 AM

The Panthers had 2 timeouts left, not running the ball was stupid.

In fairness to Fox... that fade is a play that worked for them twice earlier in the game.

The first one was to Keyshawn over Lito... only Keyshawn couldn't get his feet down in bounds.

The second was the TD before the half.

They had success with the play earlier... so you can't totally blame them for trying again.

That's one of those things where you could say they went to the well one time too many. Lito recognized the route and bumped Johnson off of it.

But if I were a Panthers fan, I wouldn't be pissed for that reason. I'd be pissed simply because there were timeouts left which meant they could have tried running, which was quite successful all game or they could have burned a time out and come up with a plan.

Eaglez · December 08, 2006, 12:13:01 AM

Yeah, hindsight is a bitch. But with 2 timeouts left on the 6 yard line you would think at least one run play would be called.

Who cares. Should be fun to see how Wienke plays.

Tomahawk · December 08, 2006, 12:17:14 PM

It's not even hindsight, though. Any team that doesn't run the farg out of the ball against this defense is retarded.

Yeti · December 11, 2006, 01:43:15 PM

I didn't like Garcia. But after the last two weeks I got to give the guy a chance.

Zanshin · December 11, 2006, 01:47:56 PM

I've been far more impressed by Garcia than I thought I'd be. I actually feel comfortable with him in there...it's the defense that makes my eyes bleed.
