Combined stats 14 carries - 51 yards, 8 catches - 51 yards, 1 TD

Is this a concern heading into the playoffs? I'm re-watching the game and man does Shula like overloading one side and it's not freeing(if that's a word) CMC up. It's too much traffic and I'm talking passing game here. We need to spread the offense out evenly. 2 WR on each side. They could back to feeding him the ball a lot like San Fran game, would that work?

Did we score 31 points against the #2 defense?

I think when we had those couple of bad losses,  Shula reverted back to what he knows.  It would be nice if they'd run some more stuff for McCaffrey to get him in space, but we're talking Shula.  Adapting to the game at hand isn't necessarily Shula's strong suit.

We're going to need McCaffrey if we hope to get beyond the first game in the dance.  Shula's got to figure it out. Luckily we didn't need to do anything more yesterday because the game plan worked to a large degree.

When Stew broke through that line,  I was like the man ain't dead yet.  I bet if he was running behind the Cowboys O-line then Panthers fans wouldn't talk so much poo about him.  The results would be a lot different. That being said, a changing of the guard has got to be on the agenda.

We had a good game against a tough foe, I'm not going to point fingers too much.

 

However, we will need to spread around the touches a little better over the next 6 weeks...need Olsen and CMC a little more involved, and need to not lean on Cam and Stew as much in the run game.

I do think that Samuel going out, right when the light was coming on was a big blow to the offense.

I don't think he's been getting enough receiving touches . Just 5 against the Saints and only 3 against the Vikings. Its very clear receiving is his gift and he's being used very sparingly in the passing game. He should be touching the ball 10x a game through the air and 10 times on the ground in my opinion.

I think some of it is just a product of how well we've been rushing the ball in the 2nd half of the season. CMC would probably have more passing stats at least if we werent running well, but over the last 1/2 of the season both CMC and Stew have been averaging above 4 yards a carry and Cams been having a field day. We just arent throwing the ball down the field much to begin with. 

And when we are running well the coaches obviously prefer to just run Stew to death. So.. its not really a product of CMC sucking, its that his load is still pretty small (avg under 7 carries a game ) and he's simply stuck behind stew for the moment.

If he was getting 20+ carries a game he'd be getting close to 80-120 yards a game if he kept his same rushing averaging for the last 1/2 of the season (4.9 yards a carry which would be close to 100 yards a game on the ground with 20 carries).

How many first round rb only average 6 to 7 carries and 12 total touches? He can catch as good as any w r and has been running well of late

Panthers best offensive performances this season (pats, lions, Vikings, dolphins) have featured him the least. 

Thats not a coincidence. 

His play was key in the must win game vs falcons. When we got ahead in some of those games it wasn’t nrcessary to target him as much in the pass game

- Because hes behind Stew

- Stew is our franchise leading rusher and had probably the best performance in the past 2 years yesterday

-  For the season, Stew and CMC have the exact same yards per carry (3.5) . Even though in the 2nd half of the season , McCaffrey is at 4.9 yards per carry and Stew is at 4.4 yards a carry in that same time frame, and stew had 2 monster games that skews his average way up compared to what hes done for the rest of the season, and hes had twice the carries CMC has

* McCaffrey just wasnt drafted to his ideal team. Steve Smith said it best at the combine , something along the lines of this kid could be deadly if he goes to the right team in the right system. Fact of the matter is, he went to the wrong team in the wrong system with defensive minded vet loyalist coaches and a QB that throws extremely high and doesn't target McCaffrey as often as he could. And even despite all this McCaffrey is still are yards from scrimage leader, while being on the wrong team in the wrong system. If he was with the Pats, Saints, Eagles, Rams, he'd probably have 2x the production with better staff and more accurate QB

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
