I’ll have plenty on that tomorrow. This idea that they can keep utilizing McCaffrey exclusively is ridiculous. Newton accounted for over 100 rushes last year, that’s what eased the workload for 22. That’s not a knock on Christian. It’s the new reality of the offense.

There was nothing wrong with having a CJ Anderson (or a power back vet) giving the team 7 to 10 carries a game. 

Norv can be very peculiar times. Make no mistake, he has a lot of power in that building.

Gotta admit they gave us one back though. That re-spot is one of the damnedest things I've ever seen.

All in all, I think if you wanted to write a summary of tonight's game, the title of this thread would probably be enough.

This. 

 

That re-spot looked like blatantly fixing a game.

That became clear pretty early on. Ron looks at Norv like Luke Skywalker looks at Yoda.

Have said it several times already: Bowles devoted his resources to stopping McCaffrey because he believed we didn't have enough outside of him to beat them.

I really wish he would have been wrong.

Like for the Saints Texans game people were talking about how cool that pilon camera was. They didn't have it in the budget for this game? Damn NFL

At the time of that play Aikman and Buck had specifically said Fox safety protocols were requiring the camera crew to be off the field. Now, if it's that unsafe I don't understand why the game was allowed to take place or why a game was played without standard review angles available, but that's a different conversation.

Either way though it looked pretty clear to me that Cam got it.

It’s how I felt for most of the game. Not much else you can say at this point. It is what it is.

Terrible spot. But Panthers DESERVED to lose this game because they did nothing with repeated possessions. I don't feel like this was a turning point so much as a poor piece of officiating.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
