Apparently we have thrown for a league low 1033 passing yards in the last 6 games. Cam has completed only 54.1% of his passes over the last 6 games compared to completing 64.8% of his passes over his first 7 games of the season.

Theres alot of other stats in the article but I thought these were the most striking. I dont think its a coincidence that these poor passing stats seem to coincide with the timing when our running game starting coming alive in the 2nd half of the season . I cant help but think tho, what happens if we have a bad day rushing and Funchess isn't open? 

I'd say whats frustrated me the most this season in terms of a passing game, is that we have had absolutely 0 success throwing and completing passing 20+ yards down the field. We have no deep threat, every time Cam throws a deep bomb there's no Panther anywhere near the ball and usually a group of defenders are just waiting on it. We're clearly lacking explosive pass plays down the field that we had the last 2 years with Ginn and I think thats going to eventually be our downfall in the playoffs. Some team is going to just axe our run game and force us to make plays way down the field which we cant.

meh.  yeah, we need to improve....

but we are 5-1 over the last 6 games.  

Technically we could of been a better passing team over the course of those 6 games and had a losing record too.  D and ball control is part of why we win.

Smh at OP 

 

Shula is part of the problem but so are the WRs who aren't running routes correctly/getting open, so is Cam throwing 10% less accurately than he was in the 1st part of the season .

I think the olines actually been doing pretty damn well with pass blocking. Sometimes it looks like Cam could stay in the pocket for a couple more seconds but he rush or force a throw like someones about to sack him

Our passing game is a little off. All we did was just replace our 1 receiver with a 1 receiver. Where is 2 or 3 or 4? Cam has no timing or connection with the rest of them. When he was starting to develop something with Samuel, he gets hurt. Now Olsen is back and Byrd back from injury. Hopefully it gets rolling.

Part of it has to do with the oppositon. Falcons, Saints, and Vikings have top 10 pass defenses. Jets and Dolphins were middle of the pack. I'm hoping Olsen can be more of a factor during this stretch of the season. Finally,  Shepard, Clay, and Manhertz are not reliable targets and are only playing because of trades and injuries that happened throughout the season. I don't expect much from the offense besides taking care of the ball and scoring in the red zone.

Sheppard, Clay, and Manhertz should not be on this team next year. They have all proven that they can't get open or catch the ball. Funchess, Bersin, Byrd, McCaffrey, and Dickson are the only ones that can actually do both.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
