It's been 6 years since a Super Bowl champ had a 1,000 yd rusher.

Bask in that glorious reality. The double irony for the Panthers is, well, double trouble.

Only Terrell Davis who topped 2k was the only back ever to do that. Having Elway I'm sure hurt.

The easiest money you will make is to bet against a team who is run first to make the SB.

It's a QB league now. Passing attacks win now. A team has to have the ability to run the ball when needed. But the old days of 4 yards and a cloud of dust are gone. To win you need an elite QB and an aerial attack. This is one ofd the reasons i'm looking forward to Fox getting fired. The game has passed him by.

Context is a wonderful thing

New Orleans was 6th in the NFL in rushing yards per game last year

The Giants were 4th in the NFL in rushing yards per game in 2007

Steelers were 5th in the NFL in rushing yards per game in 2005

EDIT: Stropuealoop is right...Jacbos ran for 1004 yards in 2007 despite only playing in 11 games and Joseph Addai ran for 1081 on the 06 Colts. And Willie Parker ran for 1202 in 2005. More holes in that theory.

Our offense is safe. What 1000+ yard rusher can do, is generally get you to the playoffs. After that it's a lot of things that go into making it to the Superbowl outside of rushing. What would be more interesting to see as a stat is how far each team with a 1,000 yard rusher went into the playoffs and then look at how their defense stacked up.

In order for the run-first offense to work, you gotta have some serious defense. Otherwise, the pass-first teams that are taking over the league will score just as fast and win, eating the clock doesn't matter.

Prime example, look at The Dolphins and Colts game last year, I believe it was MNF... The Phins held the ball for almost the whole game. Peyton just took over at the end of the game and scored enough to beat them.

To be honest, I love DLo and JStew and want to keep them here for their careers, but run-first philosophies are becoming a thing of the past, and on top of that, our pass designs and formations are prehistoric. I'd like to see some creativity in our passing game.

We don't need creativity in our passing game. We need execution. MM was locking in on what he was going to throw. There were plenty of check downs available. Also pressure was crazy the second half. Our O-line was like a sieve. Play-calling was predictable. Total team execution was poor. Our D played well enough to win yesterday. We had excellent field position the entire first half. Just couldn't capitalize. Goodson needs to be utilized more.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
