Why did we abandon the run game?

CAP only getting five carries is strange at best.

 

Also, can they please please scratch the 2nd and 1 read option? At least three times yesterday it seemed that exact scenario resulted in minus yardage.

Please get well soon J Stew.

Who would have guessed that a healthy Ted Ginn was the secret to our receiving game?

2nd and 1 at the 15 and cam takes a sack for a 16 yard loss...  What a killer

Was gonna say the same things. The Panthers didn't even look like the panthers on offense. No throws down the field, No Home run shots ect. The ginn injury, and lack of pass protection I think was the issue. Ginn looks like he will heal up, and hopefully the oline just had an off day

Agree 100%. The stretch passing game was nonexistent, partly because of horrid pass protection and (maybe) Ginn's injury. The Panthers just looked awful, and maybe this will be enough to right the postseason ship.

Yesterday was the best I have seen us run block all season. Even when Stew was playing, I don't remember us run so well in a half. Totally inexplicable we stopped runing

I called for it at halftime also.

When you are not sharp, as the Panthers looked yesterday, then pinpoint routes/throws would not be the order of the day.  Brute running, especially when they lost their DT, would have seemed a better route.  Takes the light weight pass rusher out of the equation.
