Conflict reappears!
When the special teams of both teams took the field for the kickoff, the Carolina Panthers once again chose to return the kickoff, trying to start the offense as far away from the end zone as possible.
This time the return attack was quite effective, successfully advancing to the 20-yard line, and moving towards the 25-yard line amidst the bustle of players, but the players on both sides were like bees, densely packed. The ground collided with each other, and each one held up his helmet like a bullfight, and continued to attack with words.
Fortunately, it didn't turn into a physical conflict.
"Now it seems that the impact of the penalty just now was huge, especially for the Carolina Panthers who were trailing. They could not help but think that if the penalty was a successful pass, the ending would be completely different. A two-touchdown deficit and three touchdowns, it really felt like heaven and earth.”
"But this is competitive sports. If you are always obsessed with that penalty, nagging it endlessly, you will either be unable to concentrate on the subsequent games, or you will enter the game with resentment and anger. This will not help at all. In the end, it will only Makes the game a mess."
"The Carolina Panthers need to focus on the rest of the game and stop worrying about that penalty! I can't believe it, this is the third time I personally emphasize: It's just the first quarter! That's it! Last year's super Bowl, the San Francisco 49ers were able to come back from being behind by 29 points, and it was less than half time; now the Carolina Panthers still have enough opportunities, don't trip up your own possibilities."
"We continue to emphasize the outstanding performance of the Carolina Panthers at home, which is the best home court record this season; now we can also look at the performance of the Carolina Panthers when they are behind. The total number of games behind in the first quarter It happened three times, with two wins and one loss - the only time was the loss to the San Francisco 49ers (the game against the Seattle Seahawks was tied in the first quarter); and in games trailing at halftime, it happened a total of four times, with one win and three losses. "
"what does that mean?"
"Being behind in the first quarter is nothing at all. The Carolina Panthers still have the ability to catch up, and they will never surrender easily; but if they fall behind in the first half, the young and energetic Carolina Panthers The Panthers are likely to fall into disarray, and the game temperament for a desperate comeback has not yet been fully tempered. Now, there is still enough time in the first half, and the Carolina Panthers still have countless opportunities!"
"Don't forget, the Carolina Panthers were on this field this season, defeating the powerful New England Patriots and the New Orleans Saints with a score of '24:20'. They have no shortage of hard-fought confrontations. The ability, what is missing now is calmness, don't lose your mind just because the opponent is an eternal enemy, this is fatal to the young Carolina Panthers. All the pressure is on Newton again."
For the first time in this divisional game, the Carolina Panthers started their offense from their own 22-yard line and finally got out of the quagmire of kickoffs inside the 20-yard line.
Ten yards in first gear.
Cam chose the read option to attack and made a gesture of running with the ball. As he took a step forward, he realized that he had attracted enough firepower and threw a nearly parallel small diagonal pass to the second team. No. 1 running back Mike Tolbert, who rushed straight through the gap on the outside of the left wing.
This time the read option offense successfully deceived the San Francisco 49ers defense - because the Carolina Panthers adopted a two-running back offense and used DeAngelo Williams' fake handoff to cover Cam's own handoff. The ball was running, and when Cam's running was spotted by the linebackers, Cam chose to pass the football to Tolbert. The continuous tactical cover prevented the visiting team's defensive team from immediately keeping up with the rhythm.
The San Francisco 49ers failed to organize an effective blocking defense, and even had loopholes, allowing Tolbert to easily find an open path to advance, and rushed ten yards without encountering any obstacles, and relied on his own Ability, before the circle of three players closed in, advanced another five yards before being forced out of bounds, ending this ground advance.
"finally!"
"Can anyone believe it? With five minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the Carolina Panthers scored their first offensive possession of the game!"
"But no matter what, this is good news for neutral fans. Cam Newton seems to have found some touch in his best read option offense. I hope his state can further recover and avoid letting this game We lost the suspense of victory early and lived up to all expectations.”
At this time, people remembered that this was the Sunday night game and the last of the four divisional games. It could be said to be the most anticipated and most watched game. If it failed in the first half, then The league probably won't be happy either - it's not good for advertising revenue or ratings.
The resurgence of the Carolina Panthers is a good thing for the league.
But the happiness only lasted less than five seconds, and then something happened that made the hearts of Carolina Panthers fans almost stop beating...a dropped ball.
Facing the first ten yards again, Cam handed the football to running back D'Angelo without hesitation and launched a ground attack. The latter broke through from the middle, but was trapped in the layers of the San Francisco 49ers defense. , only advanced about two yards, and then was pushed to the ground one after another, and DeAngelo was forced to fumble.
Justin Smith once again made a contribution, using unreasonable defense to take the football out of D'Angelo's arms and create a fumble!
"God!"
Because they saw the ball dropped, there was an exclamation in the studio, and then you could see the players on both sides all overlapped layer by layer, and you couldn't see the trend of the ball at all - if the Carolina Panthers If the ball is lost again, the game may be basically settled.
Fortunately, such worries did not materialize.
After D'Angelo dropped the ball, he counterattacked on the spot and controlled the ball immediately, avoiding the crisis of the Carolina Panthers falling directly into the abyss.
However, this drop also foreshadowed many variables in the game: the Carolina Panthers' state can only be said to show a glimmer of possibility; and the San Francisco 49ers have no intention of relaxing at all, even with a huge lead. Still working hard to finish the game.
really!
On the second play and eight yards, the Carolina Panthers' offensive line was torn apart again. Cam suffered a serious collision. His pass shot under pressure was outrageous, far, far beyond the control of his wide receiver. The range makes it impossible to complete the ball.
On third down and eight yards, the San Francisco 49ers chose to rush the pass with six players without warning. Justin Smith showed off his power, opened a gap with his own power, and singled out Cam Newton!
Although Justin failed to sack Cam and was blocked by the offensive linemen, Justin still tripped Cam's ankle at the critical moment, causing Cam to stagger, and followed closely behind to rush to the inside line. David Navarro Bowman got rid of the obstruction of the offensive linemen and successfully sacked Cam!
Again!
"oh……"
"oh……"
There was a brief silence in the studio, and the sounds of exclamation and astonishment could not be heard at all: this was a real crushing, it could even be said to be a killing! The Carolina Panthers' offensive team really had no solution at all and completely lost the initiative: the pockets were repeatedly torn. What's even more frightening is that Cam, as a running quarterback, seemed unable to move. The steps I was so proud of were tied down by two lead weights today.
Between Teddy and Aikman looking at each other, Kirk finally said, "The Carolina Panthers offense is facing a difficult challenge now. The San Francisco 49ers defense has been in full swing. The linebackers and offense are in full swing. The ability of the forward is forming a situation of comprehensive suppression. Cam Newton needs to complete the defensive reading. He must calm down and start reading, otherwise..."
"Wait, yellow flag? What's going on?"
Just as the San Francisco 49ers were celebrating another strikeout, a yellow flag belatedly appeared on the field, and everyone was confused.
After deliberation, the referees issued a penalty: after the end of the offense and defense, there was an unsportsmanlike action. The person who committed the foul was San Francisco 49ers No. 30 safety Eric Reed. This was not only given directly to Carolai. The Panthers had a first down and lost fifteen yards.
Fifteen yards, this is the maximum number of yards that the referee can award on the field. It can be said to be a heavy penalty.
The so-called "unsportsmanlike behavior" is very broad, including physical conflicts, excessive celebrations, and provocative actions.
For example, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham will complete a slam dunk after every touchdown: the action of slamming the football into the goal, but because this action is very provocative, it may also throw the football into the goal. The goal was tilted, further leading to countless accidents. League officials included this action as "unsportsmanlike conduct."
During this offense and defense, Eric Reed successfully defended the wide receiver Steve Smith. As a result, the two people had a slight physical collision. If it ended there, then it would be nothing; as a result, Reed Deke was so emotional that he persisted in pestering the other party and kept talking trash, and even made provocative celebrations.
Although it did not actually turn into a physical conflict, Red's behavior was still flagged.
Reed is this year's first-round pick. After a shining season, he is now a little hot-headed and made inappropriate moves, which immediately ruined all the efforts of the defensive team and gave the Carolina Panthers offense Another chance for the group.
The entire Bank of America Stadium was boiling with excitement. All kinds of dirty and ugly curse words were directed at Red, and the emotions of the whole place erupted.
"No, this really, really shouldn't be the case. But, can this be a turning point for the Carolina Panthers' offense to turn things around? Let's wait and see."
