That's the number of rushing plays called after being down only 10 points.

Face it, Fox and the coaching staff went into panic mode just like in the Superbowl(going for 2 too early).

All 6 turnovers came from passing plays.

The Cardinals never "stopped" the run, they rarely even put 8 in the box. That's why Steve was always double covered.

Just wanted to say that cause way too many people are blaming Delhomme/Defense.

It's just funny because how often have we criticized Fox for sticking to the run even when it's not working, and here is the one game in which he should have done just that and he decides to let Jake air it out.

Similarly, you would think a team that constantly faces double teams against Steve Smith might think it necessary to double an equally capable receiver in Fitzgerald.

They stopped running because they didnt want to get behind, they wanted a quick score becasue it was becoming apparent that our defence couldnt stop them. They didnt just say "down by ten no more running" they just planned on scoring and then go back to running.

The problem was, because of Jake and the o-line , they couldnt get the quick score.Meanwhile the Cardinals kept scoring forcing the Panther to continue to pass.

You kind of just proved the point he's trying to make. We wanted to score quick so we abandoned the run. Our run has scored for us all year. It scored for us on our first drive. Wanting to score should mean give it to who has scored for us all year. And that is DeAngelo. I understand what you are saying, but it is more important to play your game than become a one-dimensional team. Which is exactly what the Cardinals wanted. If we had kept running it, even down 10, we could have kept the ball out of their offenses hands, and given our defense a break.

7 runs the REST of the game..

YUP Fox got scared (or davidson) and they threw any chance of us winning out the window.

Why do you stop doing what got you to the playoffs?

This one still haunts me. This one doesnt get any better with time passing, only worse.

fug our scheme- its was poo.

Yeah. The more you just take a step back and look at the game as a whole, SO many things keep jumping out.

And there are some strange comments coming from the players. Jake saying they stopped the run.

The downplay of worse time to have a bad game. HUH?

I haven't heard much though from the other rb's besides Hoover and the Secondary I have heard zilch.

Just a very strange game.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
