McCAFFREY ADDS TO TOUCHDOWN TOTAL

·         Christian McCaffrey scored his fourth receiving touchdown of the season on a 21-yard play in the second quarter. It marked his sixth total touchdown of the season. Tied for the most on the team with Devin Funchess. McCaffrey finished with five receptions for 23 yards. He also rushed for 16 yards on six carries.

·         McCaffrey has 64 receptions this season, leading all NFL running backs. He has 995 all-purpose yards, the second-most of any Panthers rookie through 12 games all-time.

 

FUNCHESS GRABS SIXTH RECEIVING TOUCHDOWN

·         Devin Funchess made his team-best sixth touchdown reception of the season in the fourth quarter. He finished with 60 receiving yards on four catches.

·         Funchess has averaged 86.5 receiving yards with three touchdowns over the last four games as Carolina’s lead receiver.

 

TAKEAWAY STREAK CONTINUES

Saints played a really good game.  As much as I hate those fuggers, I cant deny them that.  Fans were loud.  They played to their strengths and kept mistakes to a minimum.  Carolina got out coached and out played.

All you gotta do to match Rivera in the coaching department is have a scarecrow planted on the sidelines.

All you gotta do to outcoach Rivera is show up in person.

They really did. As much as it pains some of us to admit, the Saints are a very good team. They run the poo out of the ball, and have a HoF QB. They are going to be a problem for anyone they face.

Doesn't mean we aren't a good team, because we are.....they just have our number this year. If we have to play them again in January I think the outcome will be different.

Rivera and company had an entire offseason to come up with a game plan to beat basically the same Broncos team that beat them in the Super Bowl, but WITHOUT Peyton Manning. And they lost the exact same way. I'm dubious they can make adjustments based on lessons learned from these two losses.

But I will say, the way the Panthers play in the post-season is wholly different. So while I think our staff doesn't have what it takes to adjust, I think our leaders in the locker room do. Cam and Luke can win running solely on piss and vinegar, and the Saints have filled them with plenty of that this year.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
