This. I dont know why people keep harping on the run game like it is some beast we can lean on.

What the fug is Canales supposed to do when he calls a run and it nets 1.5-2 yards? Call it two more times and punt? 

People pining for the RB to get 20+ carries need to go watch some old school reruns or some poo. 

Fwiw, we are averaging 4.7 ypc, which puts us in the top half of the league. It's one of the few things we are actually good at.   But when you are behind by a lot of points, running games tend to go away.

This is apparently too complicated for a straight up simple play by play. ?

I think the motivations are really much simpler. And it isn't Canales throwing a payer under the bus to protect himself. I doubt seriously.

It is almost the trade deadline. The writers and talkers won't shut up about Bryce and Someone feels like it is important for Bryce to still get field time. Chicago and Washington show that. So there is that.

We don't know if they are getting calls about Young or not, nor how many or how few, nothing. But they know. Doesn't that make more sense as to why they'd show him off?

If they’re trying to trade Bryce they would definitely not try to show him off. The mystery is the only value left. The more tape you put out there, especially recent tape, the harder it will be to trick someone into thinking he can be an NFL player.

May sound weird but that was on of the funniest games I ever watched

Also 7 pass attempts and 3 sacks is a wild stat

That's why I remember it so well, it was the crazies thing ever.   It's the first time I ever saw the wildcat.  Dolphins were credited with this invention in 2008, Foxxy was doing this way  before haha

IIRC we had Dan Henning that year before he went to the Dolphins. Henning created the wildcat with the panthers

It really goes away when you are behind the sticks. It doesn't even take a score deficit, just a yardage hurdle you won't clear with a run. 

Which we have seen a lot on account of pre snap stuff plus blown assignments. And people don't really account for it in the tally of the run/pass balance. 1st and 15, 2nd and 13, it matters.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
