3 losses caused by failure to score at the goal line

Recommended Posts

Week 2 vs Tampa: McCaffrey direct snap stuffed at the goal line. TD and XP would have won the game.

Week 10 @ Green Bay: McCaffrey stuffed at the goal line with potential for a TD and 2 point conversion to tie the game.

Week 12 @ New Orleans: Unable to score any points to take a lead at the end of the game, leaving the Saints plenty of time to kick a game winning field goal to win the game.

3 losses due to failures at the goal line at the end of the game.

Is what happens when your OL can’t get the job done.

U dont need a power back to get a yard.... cmac slips and breaks tackles better than anyone. That's on the oline.

Mccaffrey deserves a medal of honor for what hes done behind a bad oline this year. Even the play he scored he had to make 2 guys miss at the line of scrimmage

Wasn't it an issue in week 1 also?

I don’t remember a specific moment where they couldn’t score in the red zone at the end in that game, but a Joey Slye missed FG was the difference in the score of that game

With a healthy Cam we score. Defenses have to account for him running... don’t have to worry about that with Allen

What a really dumb post. We have a record breaker generational talent at RB and can’t get in. It’s painfully obvious the oline is the issue.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
