Well our passing game is near league worst, as well. If we can't get it done on the ground, it's gonna be a long day for us.

You are correct, although I will say our passing game has been more efficient as of late.  Still not great, but adequate at least.  

I am more focused on how our defense looks against Tampa and the Aints.  Both of them have looked terrible recently, and if our defense performs fairly well, then we might not need a lot of offense.

Our passing game is basically only as good as our running game allows it to be. Outside of that, it's rightfully near the bottom of the league.

Honestly how many forward(past the LOS) passes are done each game?? 4? 7? it can not be over 10....i barely remember the pray balls to moore and its only 1-3 of those each game...

Pray balls? 

I don't want to go overboard like some of the Darnold fan-boosters here but are you serious?

I am no longer a fanboy but I'm not blind either.

 

Those passes to Moore are not Pray balls.

They are legit Deep balls that many of us (me included) have complained that Sam is incapable of throwing.

Yet he did throw them and they looked pretty solid.

 

He certainly won't be mistaken for other Elite QBs but he CAN (apparently) make the throws;  it's accuracy that's been his issue and last game, it wasn't. 

I want to see more of this type of accuracy going forward (if possible) :

How many are more than 10 yards? (real yards going forward). Not the 5-8 smoke throws to Laviska/moore. Talking real NFL passes. How many each game?

I don't get what you're trying to say here.

What difference does it make so long as it moves the chains? 

[glenwo2]

And calling 5-8 yard passes Not-Real NFL passes is just silly. 

This offense is built on the Running game so Screens and quick throws to your RB's are more commonplace than before.

My point is to show this teams gameplan is to not throw forward passes. 

You are aware that once the panthers are behind over a couple scores, the main goal is passing, right? And the type ala Laviska runs around and darnold hits him 3 yards behind the LOS are not going to cut it. 

If its moves the chains, great! Do the panthers have another way?? If by some chance this simple method doesnt work like many of the recent loses??

As weird as this season has been, I'm not even gonna try

This could work.

The Bucs game Sunday is either going to be a 35-10 Panther blowout or the refs carrying the Bucs over the finish line in a 16-13 type game. I’m just not sure which yet. 

[PleaseCutStewart]

Knowing the Panthers, they will somehow pull off an upset ein against the Bucs then lay an egg against the saints...

Depends on how the Running game shakes out for the Panthers.

If it's rolling like last week (or close to it), I say the Panthers take full control of this game and win this going away.

If not, it could be a boring slogfest.
