As a fan base, we should've known how today was going to go on the first drive. 5 straight run plays.

Not to mention it was an easy 9 and 7 for CMC right off the bat.  Proceeded to give him sweeps and read option the remainder of the game.  Norv needs to check himself.  

Today was one of the worst coaching jobs Rivera and crew have managed in quite some time.  Just awful.  

0 targets for Samuel.

Yeah when i saw that i just about lost hope for the game. Nothing changes, its why im baffled by the amount of people on here that defend this guy and gives him the benefit of the doubt every week, every season. 

He has supporters because this team has made the playoffs most of time he’s been here. Not saying it’s purely because of him but when your team is winning the coach gets a free pass no matter how many fug-ups he makes

5 straight run plays to open the game, and Cam Newton still finishes the game the leading rusher for the Panthers?

How do we suck this bad at running the football? Against the Redskins of all teams.

We got down early and they were killing of us with TOP. We had no choice but to throw more the rest of the game. Offense only had 3 possesions the whole second half. This is why it doesn't pay to be a run heavy team in the NFL cuz that strategy can be abandoned pretty quicky. You have to be balanced from the get go. Also redskins pass D was pretty terrible but we chose to run anyway. No adjusting at all.

It's funny you mention no adjusting because I just saw a fluff thread about Norv within the last few days talking about making as many adjustments as needed at just about any time.

So does Norv suck at his job, or is Ron taking over?

Yes those 5 straight runs set the tone. Redskins got shredded on MNF through the air, but we dont look to exploit the matchups outside until we get behind. I wish we would go into games ready to attack defenses instead of just trying to establish an identity of running the football.

This was typical Rivera. I despise the fact we still identify as a running team in a passing league. This is just ridiculous at this point. 

This dude pointed that out to me in a text.. It's not like I was surprised though haha

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
