I get that times change and the game evolves but I hate that teams go for it on 4th down there on the first drive. Whatever happened to the field position game. I loved the playoffs when the games were cagey and defensive. Far more exciting for me.

I like the aggression. If the back didn’t fall down they would have gotten that.

I understand being aggressive on 4th down and all, but not sure I want to just hand Matthew Stafford the ball starting at my 45 yd line.

I don’t understand asking Bryce Young to get you that first down with his arm.

You’re at the 45. You’re a 10 point underdog. You aren’t stopping them often.  You need to try to make that yard. If you are the Panthers coming in today you know that you probably need to score 35 to have a chance. If you need 5 TDs (minimum) you have to believe that you can get a yard at the 44.

I agree here (although it would have worked). You need to be able to run for that yard.

Agree with going for it.  Don’t agree with how they went for it.

especially so early. why make it easy for them to pick up a head of steam and gain confidence?
