MALE EXTERNAL GENITALIA: PENIS AND SCROTUM

According to the book Mandens Krop (which is translated from English,but does not give the original title) the average is 15cm and 90% are between13 and 18cm.The records fora fully functional penis are 1.5cm and 30cm.

This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions on alt.sex,and that's a shame, because it's really a pointless question. Penis sizeis important if and only if you think it is. If you have sex with men andyou desire a large penis, then penis size is important to you, andonly to you. If you feel your penis should be larger, then penis size isimportant to you, and only to you. Many women reportthat too many men are hung up on the size of their penises. The vaginais only eight to thirteen centimeters long, and even a small penis cantouch every square centimeter within the vagina.

Yes. There are two surgical procedures to increase penis size-- theBihari Procedure, and Fat Injection.The Bihari Procedureconsists of cutting the ligament that secures the base of the penis tothe body. This gives between one-half and two inches of increased lengthto the penis; however, because the penis is no longer anchored to the bodyan erection no longer points 'up.'Fat Injectionis the process of removing fat from the backs of the thighs and injectingit into the body of the penis to make the penis thicker. Because the bodyrejects a significant portion of the injection this procedure may needto be repeated several times and each operation carries with it a severerisk of infection.

According to Harold Reed, M.D., director of the ReedCentre for Ambulatory Urological Surgery in Bay Harbor, Florida, thisis the correct way to measure the length of your penis:

First, while standing, get an erection. Okay, now gently angle your,er, equipment down until it is parallel to the floor. Set your ruler againstyour pubic bone just above the base of the penis, and measure to the tip.Thats how the doctors do it.

One-quarter of all penises bend in some direction and some bend downwardeven when erect. Unless the bend is severe or causes you pain, there isnothing wrong or abnormal about your penis. It should not interfere withsexual intercourse. Some people report that a downward-bending penis iseasier to fellate.In rare cases a condition called Peyrone'sSyndrome can arise from childhood diseases. This condition is caused byscarring on one of the two corpora cavernosa within the penis, stuntingits effectiveness during erection and causing the penis to bend almost90 degrees in that direction. If you feel this may be the case, consulta urologist.

Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from thepenis. When performed in a hospital, it is usually done shortly afterbirth by a doctor or midwife. Circumcisions are also given to Jewishboys by a mohel in a ceremony eight days after birth. SomeIslamic boys are circumcised when they are older, around age 12. Themajority of American boys are circumcised.Common reasons for circumcisioninclude: religious beliefs; better hygiene, "normal" or "better"appearance, and "his penis should look like his father's."Common reasons against circumcision include: it is no longer necessaryfor hygienic reasons; it is a painful, barbaric practice; there is a possibility ofinfection or surgical error; destruction of sexual tissue reduces sexual sensitivity; "normal" or "better"appearance; and "his penis should look like his father's."

Blue Balls is a real condition! The "correct" term for blueballs is epididymitis, which is an inflammation of the epididymis.In simple terms blue balls occurs whenthe epididymis get blocked up with sperm that have left the testis butnot the penis. The vas deferns are the conduit for the sperm from the testisto the urethra. When they get blocked you get pain. Why blue balls andnot "swollen balls," well maybe the connotation is that you ballshave the "blues", or maybe its because with all that swellingsome of the blood flow is restricted enough to cause some blueing of thearea because of pooling blood.

The prostate is about the size of a walnut in a normal man, and is immediatelybehind the rectal wall about three centimeters inside the anus. It canbe felt by placing one finger within the anus and feeling along the anteriorwall for a round bulb. For some men, touching or rubbing this spot is extremelypleasurable; a rare few can even orgasm through this technique. Othersreport that the touch is painful or makes them feel as if they need tourinate.The alt.sexFAQ on anal sex answers this question in more detail.

Greys Anatomy Recap: A Joy Initiative – Vulture

Greys Anatomy

Some Kind of Tomorrow

Season 18 Episode 2

Editors Rating 3 stars ***

Photo: ABC

Miranda Bailey wants to bring the joy back to Grey Sloan Memorial. The pandemic has left the hospital a dreary place with low morale. Her employees are retiring to write mystery novels, relax in places with a view, and find the fun in their lives again. She wants people to remember that what they do here is bigger than themselves, that they are all in this together. COVID-19 robbed them of so much, and a big part of that is the reason they do what they do: the joy of their work. Or as Webber puts it: You want to remember the why. He has some ideas of how they can make some changes. And yes, if youre thinking, Hmmm, is this whole finding joy thing a little meta and definitely applicable to the show itself, because, holy shit, things were suffocatingly sad there for so, so long?, you are not alone.

A big portion of how Webber and Bailey want to enact positive change is linked to fixing the residency program, which is (lets be honest) a real shitshow at the moment. These residents stink! Some of that is COVID and some of it well, you cant teach natural talent, babe. But Webber is going to try. Hes taking control of the program again that whole Meredith takes the residency program thing lasted like one episode and hes making observations from the walkway overlooking the lobby, and it feels like old times, doesnt it? Webber is putting the residents through a rigorous day in the skills lab Schmitt calls it the Surgical Olympics, Helm calls it the Hunger Games and the winner gets a solo surgery. Its hard, its fun, even the attendings are getting into it, and at the end of it all Schmitt gets to pull a yoni egg out of a womans bowels with an assist from his fellow residents up in the gallery (Merediths residency class would never). Bailey can see the joy, people.

Someone who needs to see the joy standing right in front of her is Meredith Grey. And by that I mean both the revolutionary medical journey Seth Cohens dad is handing her and the hot transplant surgeon who wants to take her stargazing and tells her things like risk it all. Thats, like, so much joy. Especially for Meredith Grey, who we know loves to be shrouded in darkness for about eight months out of the year. It is her way.

Meredith is still deciding whether she wants to attempt to cure Parkinsons disease, so she calls in Amelia to make sure she isnt crazy for even considering David Hamiltons offer. Mers obviously going to need a skilled neurosurgeon to pull this off, and if shes doing this, she wants Amelia by her side. Amelia pretty much says yes from the moment Meredith walks her up to the Grey Center doors. Then she definitely says yes when she checks out the state-of-the-art equipment and learns theyd be working with Dr. Kai Bartley, a renowned neuroscientist who was a few years behind Amelia at Hopkins. Amelia is a huge fan of Bartleys work. A huge, huge fan. It doesnt take long for Amelia to sit Meredith down and ask her why in the hell she wouldnt say yes to this. Not only is a famous surgeon throwing money at them to change the face of medicine, but it would also get Meredith back to her neuro roots. I dont know if anyone has missed Meredith doing neurosurgery over the years since she switched to general, but sure, we can go with that. Amelia wants to do this with her, and she thinks her sister-in-law shouldve said yes yesterday. She heads back to Seattle.

On Merediths date with Nick he sets up a picnic under the stars, because after he almost died he started to appreciate the simple things in life he asks her about her top-secret project. Shell only tell him one thing: Shes scared. Shes scared of failing. Shes scared of killing a brilliant surgeon. Shes scared of risking the comfort and safety she has in Seattle to possibly be a public failure. But Nick doesnt buy it. You are not a safety person, Meredith, he says, reading her perfectly. She wont be happy playing it safe, and he knows that because hes the same way. Youre going to risk it all, and win or lose, its going to be a hell of a ride. In other news, Im sweating.

Meredith knows Nick is right about her. So she goes to see David and give him her demands: She gets to pick her own team. Any progress they make through this research and surgery has to become public and accessible to anyone with Parkinsons. And she wants to move the lab to Grey Sloan. That last item is a problem for David. Itll be too expensive, and the clock is ticking his prognosis is only getting worse. So they come to an agreement: Shell open a satellite lab in Seattle and travel to Minnesota once a week. They shake on it. Meredith Grey is going to try to cure Parkinsons disease. Talk about finding your joy, huh?

Back in Seattle, Merediths new brother-in-law seems to be fitting in nicely. Winstons on his own this week because Maggies in Boston while her father has hip surgery, but Winston already knows that to be a surgeon at Grey Sloan you must (1) fight for your patients even if it could land you in major trouble and (2) say things in an extra-dramatic tone while exiting rooms in a hurry. Hes a natural! Winston ends up with a patient, Rashida Flowers, who has kidney disease due to diabetes. She also has a clotting disease that makes dialysis difficult, so her only other choice is a transplant, but she doesnt qualify for the list. Both her mother and brother died of kidney disease because they, too, couldnt get a transplant, so she has resigned herself to this fate.

Winston cant wrap his head around this. Rashidas renal function should make her an excellent candidate for a transplant. He looks into the eGFR, the tried-and-true formula they have been using for decades to determine kidney-transplant candidates, and finds something alarming. The formula is based on racist assumptions about Black people that makes it more difficult for them to qualify for the list merely one instance of many that have snaked their way into medicine. He has examples of other patients on the list with the exact same health profile as Rashida, and the only difference between them and her is that theyre white. Its appalling. Unfortunately, theres not a lot that Winston can do. He cant even appeal to the board unless the patients condition is medically emergent.

With her clotting disease, it doesnt take long for Rashida to fall under that category. Yes, its a scary moment when things begin to go south, but Winston gets her stable enough, then delivers the good news: She has finally been placed on the transplant list. Rashida bursts into happy, relieved tears. It doesnt change anything about the eGFR at the moment, but it does change Rashidas life. Its time we start questioning our standards, he tells Rashidas nephrologist, who seems fine with the status quo. Grey Sloan is really rubbing off on Dr. Ndugu.

Owen and Teddy seem to be in a nice little honeymoon period: Theyre joining forces to do whatever it takes to help Noah Young, a vet with pulmonary fibrosis. He contracted it from exposure to burn pits while on one of his six tours, but the VA wont cover treatment. Hes terminal, but he wants to spend whatever time he has left with his son, so he leaves the hospital, against medical advice, before Owen can get to him. Elsewhere, Teddy is worried the world might be cruel to little Leo, who decides to wear an Elsa dress to day care. Owen tells her that yes, the world may be cruel, but they never will be. Leo is happy. They should let him be who he is. Were only two episodes in, but no drama has transpired between these two, and that is a really unexpected win.

More talk of joy: Link is still a Sad Boy, crashing at Jos theyre packing diaper bags together now and singing depressing lullabies to Scout. Jo assures him that hell be okay; he just needs to start looking for the joy around him. Mm-hmm.

Ooh la la: Are Cormac and Megan going to have a steamy hookup? Shes hanging around to fill in while Mer is away, and they have some immediate chemistry. Lets do this! If youre bringing the joy back, you have got to bring the steam back too!

And now Peter Gallagher is quoting Into the Woods and alluding to a deep love for Sondheim musicals? I guess Ive found my joy. Is this man going to die?

Next week: Dr. Addison Montgomery returns, babyyyy!

Keep up with all the drama of your favorite shows!

Female reproductive organ anatomy, parts, and function – Medical News Today

The female reproductive organs include several key structures, such as the ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. These organs are involved in fertility, conception, pregnancy, and childbirth.

The reproductive organs also have a significant influence on other aspects of health. For example, the ovaries create hormones that impact bone density, cholesterol levels, heart health, and mood.

In this article, we will look at the anatomy of the female reproductive organs in detail, including what they do and how they work.

The female reproductive system is a group of organs that work together to enable reproduction, pregnancy, and childbirth. It also produces female sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone.

The system consists of organs and tissues inside the body and some that are visible outside the body. The internal organs include:

Another organ, the clitoris, extends both inside and outside the body. The external area surrounding the vagina is the vulva.

Not everyone who is assigned female at birth has all of these organs. Sometimes, people are born without some parts or with a mixture of female and male characteristics. This is known as intersex.

Some people also undergo procedures to remove some parts of the reproductive system. Some of these procedures take place for medical reasons, while others are the result of harmful cultural practices, such as female genital mutilation.

Most females have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. They are about the shape and size of an almond and have two key functions: producing hormones and releasing eggs.

At birth, two ovaries contain approximately 700,000 oocytes, which are immature eggs. When a person reaches puberty, these eggs begin to develop and mature inside the ovary follicles. Around once each month, the ovaries release a mature egg.

This process is known as ovulation, and it is part of the menstrual cycle. It is also what makes pregnancy possible.

The hormones the ovaries produce regulate the menstrual cycle. They also:

The fallopian tubes are passageways that carry eggs toward the uterus. They consist of several parts:

When an ovary releases an egg, fluid and the fimbriae propel it toward the fallopian tube opening. Once inside, the cilia move the egg toward the uterus. This journey takes about 7 days.

During this time, it is possible for sperm to fertilize the egg if a person has sexual intercourse. Most fertilization happens in the fallopian tubes.

The uterus is an organ that is about the shape and size of a pear. It is also known as the womb. It consists of muscular walls and a lining (endometrium) that grows and diminishes with each menstrual cycle.

After ovulation, the endometrium gets thicker in preparation for a fertilized egg. If not fertilized, the egg dies, and the lining of the womb sheds after around 2 weeks. The lining breaks down into blood, which then leaves the body through the vagina. This is menstruation, also called a period.

If an egg does become fertilized by sperm, it will implant into the lining of the uterus and begin to develop. The cells divide and grow, becoming an embryo. Over time, it grows into a fetus, which receives oxygen and nutrients from the placenta via the umbilical cord.

When it is time for the fetus to be born, the uterus begins strong muscle contractions that dilate the cervix and push the fetus out.

The cervix is a narrow structure at the bottom of the uterus. It has several functions:

Below the cervix is the vagina, which is a flexible, tubular structure that connects the internal and external reproductive organs. It sits behind the bladder and in front of the digestive tract.

The vagina allows fluids, such as menstrual blood and discharge, to leave the body. It also allows semen, which contains sperm, to enter the body.

This can happen in several ways, such as during penetrative sex with someone who has a penis, or during artificial insemination. This is a procedure where a doctor inserts semen into the uterus to help someone conceive.

Just inside the body, around the entrance to the vagina, is the clitoris. This organ is most well known for the clitoral glans, which is a small but highly sensitive tissue that sits above the vaginal opening. Most of the clitoris is actually internal.

The clitoral glans is at the top of the clitoris. From there, the clitoris splits into two parts that extend down either side of the vagina. It is around 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) long and consists of spongy tissue that contains thousands of nerve endings.

The clitoris responds to sexual stimulation. When a person experiences arousal, it becomes swollen. It is the main organ responsible for female orgasms.

The vulva is the external part of the female reproductive system. It includes the:

The female reproductive organs include an array of parts that influence health throughout a persons life. The reproductive system undergoes significant changes during the menstrual cycle, which starts during puberty and ends with menopause. If a person becomes pregnant, it changes further to accommodate a growing fetus.

Female reproductive anatomy also influences sexual well-being, and creates hormones that regulate a wide variety of functions around the body.

The Grey’s Anatomy Tell-All Book Author Spills The Onscreen And Offscreen Tea – BuzzFeed

Yes, just as many rumors with him as there were with Patrick. Ultimately, it comes down to what I can report. And I wasn't able to report it. But yes, I heard stories. We have an old saying in Hollywood: "Where there's smoke, there's fire," and almost always what you heard, there was truth to it. And this isn't necessarily the way that a beloved character goes away in the 18th season.

Once again, it's feeling like it's the last year. Look, we just got Kate Walsh. We're getting more. The ex is coming back and visiting us. It would be outstanding if Katherine Heigl came back. But I don't even think you can now because of the way they sent Justin Chambers off. You can't have her come back without having Justin coming back. I mean, they'd figure out a way, but it wouldn't feel right. And that bums me out because I really would like to see her back, but I don't know if it will.

So we always kind of wondered there for a while we being the reporters that cover Grey's if you get killed off this show, does that mean somehow that Shonda hates you? Yes and no. She didn't hate Eric Dane. And in fact, I remember she wrote a lovely goodbye column for EW at the time, [about] how much she loved Eric, Jay, and that character? And ultimately, maybe things weren't pretty with the way that Patrick left the show, but the only way you can close out that character is by killing him. Any other solution wouldn't have felt organic with his relationship with Meredith. [Shonda] set them up as the perfect couple. She set him up as the perfect man. So if she suddenly had him leave her and go move to Washington, DC, or something which was a possibility and then had them break up, that wouldn't feel right. So this was the only way to get him off the show is you got to kill him.

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Season 18, Episode 2 Some Kind of Tomorrow – TVLine

It feels like the old days, Bailey told Richard in Thursdays Greys Anatomy. And by gauze, it did. As we relished the zippy post-COVID-era Some Kind of Tomorrow, Webber challenged the residents to the toughest surgical workout ever, Meredith sought Amelias input on Davids life-changing offer, and Nick Well, Scott Speedman fantastically Scott Speedmand every scene he was in, throwing so many sparks, the set probably had to be cleared of hairspray lest it present a fire hazard. And if you read on, well go over all of the episodes highlights

THATS A VERY OLD-FASHIONED WAY TO ASK A GIRL FOR A DATE | As Some Kind of Tomorrow began, Nick stuck a note under Mers hotel-room doorand was caught. Not that it mattered; she still happily agreed to have dinner with him that evening at 7. In Seattle, Link and Jo kinda coparented, while Maggie missed Winston, who was working so much that he slept at work. Nearby, Sara reported to her fellow residents that mom Alma had transferred to work more closely with Team Jackson. And Richard had big plans for the lot of them. From there, we cut back to Minnesota, where Amelia had arrived to behold the lab that was being offered to Mer. Oh, you are definitely not coming back to Seattle, Amelia laughed. But the millions werent just being offered to Mer now, they were also being offered to Amelia, because her sister-in-law was inviting her to be a part of it all. Yikes.

At Grey Sloan, Teddy protectively hovered over Leo, whod decided to dress as Elsa from Frozen for the day. Sara teamed up with Winston to treat Reshida, who had diabetes and kidney failure. Shed be starting dialysis, her attending reported. When she reported that she wasnt even able to get on a transplant list, Winston wanted to jump into action. But Reshida was sure that she wasnt long for this world. With his pupils, Richard announced that they would be going through a rigorous series of surgical simulations and evaluations. The resident with the highest score, he added, flies solo in the ER that day with an operations on par with their skills. Well, OK, then game on! Round 1 went to Levi. The next round that we saw went to Mabel. And just like that, Richard announced that Levi had won the competition. Hed get to scrub in on Jos ex lap on a foreign body extraction (on a woman who already had a strawberry removed from her, ahem, you know). While that was going on, Dr. Wong reported to Bailey that he was retiring whether she liked it or not to write mystery novels.

ANYBODY WHO NEEDS LIFE-SAVING CARE SHOULD GET IT | Bumping into a nephrologist who served as a wall between Reshida and qualification for inclusion on the transplant list because she adhered to incorrect clinical assumptions that ignored the differences between Black people and white people Winston appealed to Bailey, then took action himself. He re-approached the nephrologist, who stood by the EGFR but said shed look into his assertions. Of course, there wasnt time for that. It was suddenly do-or-die time for Reshida, and Winston wasnt about to let her die. So he broke protocol, crossing his fingers that he could get a transplant for her before it was later than too late.

Treating an injured boy, Megan charmed Cormac. In the next examining room, the boys dad was doing exceptionally poorly; hed passed out at the wheel and was having trouble breathing. Before you knew it, he was coughing up blood, and Owen was calling his bride for a consult. While she pondered whether they should stop letting Leo dress up, she and Owen discovered that the patients lungs looked like a war zone. He had pulmonary fibrosis, he reported. And he didnt want treatment, he just wanted to spend whatever time he had left with his son. Look at you breaking rules and saving lives, Megan quipped to the newlyweds. Arent you glad I got you to tie the knot? Despite Owens determination to save the terminal patient, Cormac let him go home.

In Minnesota, Amelia checked out David, who wasnt interested in a Band-Aid for his Parkinsons, only something that would make him whole again. Soon, if I wasnt mistaken, sparks flew between Amelia and Davids brilliant colleague, Dr. Bartley; for Amelia, there was no decision to be made Mer had to say yes and cure Parkinsons. Though Mer balked at Amelias enthusiasm, Scouts mom stood her ground. Youre being ridiculous because you havent accepted the offer yet, Amelia said. Hell, this was Mers chance to get back into neuro. Why would she walk away from this? Amelia asked as Nick stood by looking adorable. Back in Seattle, Levi successfully performed his extraction in front of a gallery full of his peers then hit a snag, requiring his colleagues to talk him through the end of the operation over the intercom.

YOURE NOT JUST SAVING MY LIFE, YOURE CHANGING IT | Finally, as the hour drew to a close, Meredith showed up for her date with Nick, who admitted that she might want to change into something less fancy. Why was that? He was taking her on a picnic in the woods. This is why I pulled back on my hours, he explained. He was missing everything including staring up at the stars. She didnt do that much, she admitted. Were gonna have so much fun, he replied. By and by, she shared that she was scared to say yes to David and to then fail. I have a very comfortable situation in Seattle, by contrast. Youre not a safety person, Nick suggested. Youre gonna risk it all and win or lose, its gonna be a hell of a ride. Back at Grey Sloan, Winston reported to Reshida that she was on the transplant list. I honestly never thought Id see this day, she said. I can go back to who I was.

Alone with Richard, Bailey fretted that every day she was losing doctors. They needed for everyone to feel once again like they were all in it together. You want people to remember the why, he said. Luckily, he had some ideas big ones. Finally, Link sang Scout the saddest-ever lullaby about his failed proposal. Youre gonna be OK, Jo assured him. Back at Grey Sloan, Teddy worried some more over Leo and people being cruel to him. They will be, Owen admitted, but they themselves wouldnt be. So lets just let him be happy. And in the last seconds of the episode, Mer made a few demands of David, including that they move the whole project to Grey Sloan. When that notion was shot down, she offered an alternative: I could set up a satellite lab in Seattle and come back and forth once a week. Done, he replied. Does this mean youre in? Indeed, it did.

So, what did you think of Some Kind of Tomorrow? The comments section is now open for your two cents (or even a nickel, if youre feeling generous). While youre here, get your first look at Kate Walshs return as Addison.

100 holds a day on a penny. The anatomy of Brandon Talton’s success – Nevada Sports Net

Brandon Talton is the most accurate kicker in Nevada football history and ranks second among active FBS players in made field goals per game (1.69).

After nailing all seven of his kicks last week (four field goals and three extra points), Talton won his fifth Mountain West special teams player of the week honors Monday. But he's quick to deflect his personal success to the work of his teammates. It's easy to overlook, but a made field goal is more than the kicker doing his job. The snapper must be accurate, the hold most be precise and the offensive linemen have to hold their blocks.

When all done together, that field-goal routine will take no longer than 1.5 seconds. But it's the difference between a made kick and a missed one, which can be the difference between a win and a loss. And more often than not, Talton's kicks are good. The junior from Vacaville, Calif., burst onto the scene by kicking a game-winning 56-yard field goal in his first college game. He was a walk-on back then who was shifted to a scholarship in the post-game locker room.

Talton's success continued past his debut as he's made 44-of-52 field goals, a 84.6 percent conversation rate, tops for a Nevada kicker. Talton is 8-of-9 on field goals this season and has successfully pounded home all 13 of his extra-point attempts. He appeared on NSN Daily on Friday and broke down the field-goal kicking process, giving a nod to snapper Austin Ortega and holder Julian Diaz, the Wolf Pack's punter.

"We always go back 7.5 yards every single time," Talton said. "It always starts with the snap, obviously, but I always love my big boys up front who are always going to block for me. I always tell them I appreciate them after every snap because it ain't easy being on the front, especially having three guys rush 'A' gaps at the same time, so I definitely appreciate them. We talk to these guys telling them that we want them to engage in the contact and just hold it there for 1.25 seconds at most. We're really fast at times at, like, 1.15. But my snapper's elite. He always does laces out all the time. He's always over the spot. Julian has worked very, very hard ever since last year to get his holds great just for me, and he does over 100 holds a day and always is hitting a spot. We put a penny down just for him to hit that spot, so I really appreciate it to have guys that work hard every single day and want to perfect their craft just for me to be successful as well."

Talton also credits his consistency toward his competitiveness, which drives him to work hard every practice to continue to get better and not take his early success at Nevada for granted.

"I think what makes me most consistent is just being in love with the craft," Talton said. "Going out every single day knowing that I want to make these kicks. I am a huge competitor. I hate to lose. I always want to be the best at everything that I do, whether it's Monopoly or kicking field goals or anything. I want to win and everything. That's a credit to my parents really growing up because my dad never really let me win in anything, so it kind of pushed me to be always want to be on top of my game. I've just worked really hard for this. I've been in situations where I haven't been as successful in like high school. I've been on the other side of it, and I don't want to be there again, and I just tell myself that and work really hard so I'm not there."

Blocked punt, bad throws and a sideline tantrum: Anatomy of the Panthers’ meltdown – The Athletic

This one should have ended with Sweet Caroline blasting from the Bank of America Stadium speakers and Matt Rhule passing out game balls in the locker room.

Instead, Rhule was ruing the Panthers inability to make big plays, while a short time later offensive tackle Taylor Moton stood with his head down and said what everyone was thinking.

It hurts, Moton said. This one hurts for sure.

Rhule said it was hard to point to one player in assigning blame following the Panthers 21-18 loss they led by 12 late in the third quarter to Philadelphia on Sunday, their second consecutive loss to an NFC East opponent.

But it wasnt difficult to pinpoint where this game turned on the Panthers, who dropped to 3-2, exactly where they were after five games during Rhules inaugural NFL season.

Breaking down the disastrous, fourth-quarter sequence when everything that could have gone wrong for the Panthers, did go wrong.

Panthers ball, third-and-3 at their 46, 4:04 remaining

Leading 18-13, the Panthers were in their so-called, four-minute offense, looking for a couple of first downs to salt away the win. After two runs by Chuba Hubbard, the Panthers faced third down. And as has often been the case this season, quarterback Sam Darnold and wideout
