Why is McCaffrey still running the ball at the end?

Chuba just needs to build some confidence but if we keep running our best weapon like this he was a wasted pick.

He didn’t want to come out, he wanted 100 yards rushing. Chuba is learning from the best RB in the NFL on how to be a professional on and off the field. At least he’s not a freaking panzy like Kamara, who avoids contact by running out of bounds a yard short on 3rd down.

I can agree with that but I don't think CMC cares about the numbers he wanted to seal the win and he did so convincingly. But we also have to know when to protect our best asset from himself see Cam Newton.

Think Kamara did that to preserve the clock late in the game. Couldn't say for sure but is possible.

Preserve the clock to punt? He could’ve had a first down with just a minimal amount of effort, but hey we’re losing so why put myself in harms way.

If we're talking about the same play it was the last few minutes of the game. You don't punt down by multiple scores late in the 4th, you go for it. You're not going to win, but punting makes zero sense in the context of even pretending to try to win the game. Hence it would make at least some sense for Kamara to go out of bounds in that situation. Not a lot, but some. The point is there's a plausible reason other than cowardice.

Holy poo man, he literally strolled out of bounds. I’m not sure what play you’re thinking of, but it doesn’t matter because it’s not like they’re driving for the game winning score with 10 seconds left.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
