Game 8: Panthers @ Packers - Sunday, Nov 2nd 12:00 PM

[young guns]

Well that possession went downhill quickly.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Glad they're at least on the board...need to score some TDs instead of self destructing in the red zone - which is the MO of the MLF offense against teams they should trounce

[Strike4]

Self-inflicted waste of an opportunity there but good to see McManus kicking it through

 

[wOOgiE22]

One of these weeks maybe they will play a full game. Just imploded that drive. 

[HarryDoyle]

I don't care that this team is currently the #1 seed. They are clearly not the best team even in their division. They just can't seem to play a clean four quarters, even against inferior teams like the Panthers.

[Strike4]

Seriously?  Our “special” teams can’t even line up for a kick  off correctly?

[HarryDoyle]

LOL illegal formation on ST. Got Bisacciaed again.

[adambr2]

Dowdle is just eating the Packer D alive. 

[adambr2]

This secondary can’t cover for more than about 2 seconds. If the pass rush doesn’t get home immediately, someone is open.

Is Gute going to be content to go with what he has now and not make a trade to improve the secondary?

[jason21nl]

Theres just no way this team does anything in the playoffs.    

[jason21nl]

That spot was awful

[adambr2]

Very poor half by the defense.

[HarryDoyle]

A team that is starting backups on their entire interior line shouldn't be running the ball down your throat.

And yet they’ve only given up 7 but they certainly haven’t looked good.  The bend don’t break BS sucks.

It's only 7 points because the Panthers are controlling the clock at will. Their game plan is working to perfection.

[adambr2]

Let’s manage the clock well, please. If we only get 3, we only get 3 but with 2 minutes left and all our timeouts at midfield, there’s zero reason for it to be because we ran out of time again.

[Strike4]

Seems like Kraft should be seeing the ball more

The Packers aren't the juggernaut we were hoping for, that's for sure.

JFC Lafleur. What is this 2 minute drive play calling??

Hard to get him the ball when the offense is barely on the field.

[adambr2]

This is absolutely atrocious game management by Matt Lafleur. Again.

[jason21nl]

I’m so done with MLF.  Screw him. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Wth with these holding calls.

 

If the reason they are milking the clock trying to run the ball is because they're concerned the panthers will march down for a fg going the other direction, MLF needs to be canned.  Absolutely abysmal

MLF is so average.

What a goofy drive against the Panthers. The Panthers have all three timeouts anyway. 
 

We have gone nowhere, there is somehow now less than a minute, and we burn our first timeout with the clock paused.
