Jeff Davidson, NOT Fox or Hurney, Needs to Be Fired

He drinks diet drinks. His brain is compromised.

I'm sure they call 2 plays in the huddle as always, 1 run and 1 pass. It's up to Moore to read the defense and call the correct play at the line. Davidson didn't make him throw to Smitty with a party of NYG's around & in front of him.

Moore failed.

Is this a guess? This look like a guess...

Is it a guess that they didn't have 2 plays called? That Moore might've had a problem with reading the defense?

I'm not so sure about that. Jake was starting for a couple years and didn't start getting 2-play sets until the 2005 season.

Regardless, the Colts were down a couple scores going into the 4th quarter also. Peyton Manning ending up throwing 57 passes in a loss- don't see the Colts fans calling for their OC's head....

Davidson threw the game away. My problem is his formations sucked. The whole game we was in a bunch setup. If they wasn't bunched up he put 1 wr in and 2 TEs. tried to pass it.

After he spread the offense out and begun to get yards, he put them in a bunch setup again! And we got smashed...Davidson is the problem!

Henning's issues are no where near to what Davidson's are.

Henning was too conservative and played the game tight to the chest. He was never really willing to throw the ball no matter what the situation. When he did it was a bubble screen or a 3 WR set on 3rd and 18 and two WR's would run 5 yard outs and one would run a 3 yard hitch.

Davidson freaks the f**k out if we are down at all in the second half and starts throwing the ball every single down. He never establishes a run game if we are losing at all. If the run game is going great and we get down by any margin in the second half, Davidson will abandon the run and start throwing like crazy.

Oh, you mean like the NFC Divisional game against St. Louis? Conservative like that? Or did you mean like the Super Bowl? Or maybe the playoff win against the Giants and Bears following the 2005 season? Conservative like those? Please...

The common thread between Davidson and Henning aside from their propensity to call identical game plans- John Fox. But you would honestly have us believe John Fox just paces the sidelines working the gum, arms folded across chest not saying a freakin' word?

It is 100% FOX. Good riddance.

Bringing up Jake won't exactly end this conversation. lol

I don't know if what you type is true (might be another guess, huh?) but Jake did change plays at the line before 2005. Whether he called them in the huddle himself or the OC did, he did make changes at the line.

Which brings me back to it is the QB and not the OC that failed.

I questioned getting Davidson from Cleveland to begin with. We have to face the fact that the Panthers RARELY play well when they are behind on the scoreboard. Foxball is good as long as we are leading and protecting the ball, in my opinion Fox's style of football forces the guys to play perfect in order to win, theres no leeway for mistakes.

Of the coaches we have on staff, Meeks is the only one id have a problem with if they got rid of any of them.

As for the comments ive read already bashing Matt Moore, yeah he made some lousy throws into dbl and triple coverage, but lay some blame on that poor performance from the O-line. Honestly, with that performance by the line it really wouldnt matter who was under center today. Also give props to the Giants D-line, they brought pressure all day, we couldnt handle it.

Overall, it was a hard game to watch, but we had to know the Giants were gonna be pumped for this game considering how we thrashed them at the last game of their old stadium. I totally agree that was a piss-poorly called game by Davidson. I hope they can shore up all the holes, the guys have alot of work to do this week.

Sounds like another guess. the problems I seen was bad playcalling, offensive line breakdown, communication trouble between the qb and the wrs, dropped balls...those are not guesses

I have a educated guess and someone tell me if im wrong... Its easier to read a defense when they are spread out!?!

This.

YOu idiots actually think Jeff calls all of the offensive plays? They look damn near similar to the play-calling Fox&Henning was calling.

Fox's stubby little fingers are dipped in nearly everything the offense runs.

Make it easy, they all have to go all the way up and including Hurney

[CRA]

Davidson is just calling games the way Fox wants.

Moore will be a scapegoat. Just like Jake was to a large degree degree last year. They opt away from the run and go pass heavy on a team built to run.. The outcome is only a surprise to the Carolina coaches. That is why Richardson told Fox he could leave and is letting him go.

Carolina is no different than last year. Good team. Probably a playoff team based on the roster. HORRIBLE coaching. One that doesn't use the right playcalling based on his roster or even manage the depth chart correctly.

I love how the quarterback plays terrible and the whole board blames the coaching staff.
