so why the hell did he get 11 carries? why wasn't he more involved in the offense. the play calling was not creative, we finally got a few calls to pass to the running back after the game was already out of hand. i just cannot understand why these things happen. im tired of watching this team piss away changes to win over BS. it makes no sense. anyone see Dante Rosario in the second half?

the panthers abandon anything that works, you know....like running with the second best back in the league or blitzing romo with a LB!!! not a safety or throwing to your TE who just scored!!!.....its sucks to say but every loss is getting easier to stomach, I was nearly in tears after the eagles game, now its really no big deal, why should we care if the team doesn't...

That is definately true, but Dallas ran draw plays all night... What was dissappointing was that simple fact that DeAngelo or Stewart can't get a rythym or feel for the game. I don't know if I've ever seen DeAngelo, since he's been in the NFL, run the ball 3 times in a row. The play prior to Jake's 2nd interception DeAngelo ran for 11 yards. They promptly threw the next play. They forgot who is their quarterback in this game. His performance against the Falcons and 1st half tonight gave the coaching staff a false sense of security. They were only down 6 at the time, and they didn't need to throw the ball. They could have atleast tried to feature DeAngelo. When it comes down to it, Carolina is predictable. You can tell by their formation when they are going to run. They only ran one play on the perimeter(a sweep). They tried to pound Dallas up the middle all night. There was no misdirection run plays or anything creative. It is kind of sad really. They are absolutely wasting DeAngelo's talent. No screens or anything.

And poor Jonathan Stewart only had 3 carries, because Jake couldn't convert 3rd downs and extend drives. He has poor pocket awareness and pocket mobility. You can say Steve Smith broke off the route, but Jake was predetermined with his throw. He is part of the problem. Period... The other part is the coaching staff, and John Fox dinosour beliefs. The Giants want to run the ball, but they are dynamic in the passing game. The Panthers will never be dynamic because Jake has poor everything: Footwork, pocket awareness, field awareness, mobility, decision making, hell you name it.

For all of you saying it wasn't his fault tonight, you are missing the big picture. He can't win games for you. When turnovers happen and you have to throw the ball to stay in the game, he isn't the trigger man to do it. It is easy to just try and run the ball and hide your quarterback, but you need a guy to make plays in the pocket when things aren't perfect. You need a guy who doesn't fumble everytime he takes a blind side sack. You need a guy who can make plays from the pocket in the face of a blitz. Everything has to be perfect for Jake to succeed. Pass protection, running game, etc., so you can hide his flaws. You can't coach that way in this league. You need a dependable leader as a quaterback and Jake Delhomme isn't it. It's been time for him to go, but it is too late now. I think Fox has lost the majority of the team anyway.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
