Might be a decent game!

They need a QB, another WR, a completely new DL, and a safety. They have a huge rebuilding job, but they have no first round pick.

took too long to get to the line

**Dylan** · 11-19-2009, 10:29 PM

uh oh are they going to get in FG range

chiefs1111 · 11-19-2009, 10:30 PM

**Dylan** · 11-19-2009, 10:33 PM

Up next -- the D. fans love / hate relationship with Ricky Williams -- bet they love him tonight

Jake Delhomme, clutch

Hindsight is always 20/20, but there are just some really weird things about decisions made that struck me.

First, Carolina had no reason to use a timeout on the previous drive with over 3 and a half minutes left. That cost them in the end.

Second, Carolina didn't really have to go onside kick when they did. They had the option to kick it deep and still get a chance...although I can see the argument for going onsides there.

I don't understand why Miami didn't take a shot at the 46 yard field goal. And if they weren't going to do that, then actually go for the first down with play-action, a toss sweep, at least SOMETHING other than a fullback slam. For all the talk about the risk of a field goal for giving Carolina good field position, it's only a 10 yard difference at that point and they do have a good kicker.

I don't know, maybe I'm way off base but it just seemed strange to me.

Most importantly, how do you have a stud like DeAngelo averaging 10 yards a carry and only give him the ball 13 times in a tight game(and not once in the red zone)? It's idiotic.

Cause Delhomme's the man.

Because everyone knows that you pass to score. You only run to win, and the Panthers needed to score.

They never ran the freaking ball all game. I dunno why they wanted to pass so bad in this game.

Having my fantasy league running back score 3 TDs gives me a big morning stiffy.
