We threw 41 times. The John Fox irony: "Too agressive?".

Irony #1: I know I'm not alone when I say I got sick and tired of John Fox's conservative coaching style years ago. In the last year of his contract, there have been spurts where he finally starts coaching like most of us have been asking him to for years.

Irony #2: Don't get your hopes up for a repeat. Even though it worked, according to his press-conference, John Fox believes Sunday's play-calling was "too risky" and thus too aggressive! WHAT THE f**k?

I thought that call on 4th down was the correct call but in his press conference he said he wishes he didn't have to do that. And do what Fox? You would have kicked a field goal and still needed a touchdown. That was the correct call and it could have very well been a touchdown.

So knowing that he believes last Sunday was "too aggressive" what are the chances we will continue this? Will we go back to conservative Fox ball where we pass 15-20 times a game max? What are the chances we are going to see another game where we pass 41 times this season?

Do you believe that going back to passing 15-20 times per game is a mistake and a regression in our passing game?

He meant that he would rather not be put in fourth down situations, as in get the TD before then.

That wasn't the only thing he was referring to though when he said we took too many risks.

And I don't consider that a risk at all in that situation.

It was obviously the right call and even he is saying that. What he would like is to have scored the TD on 3rd down and not have to go for it on 4th.

And how do you know what he meant beyond the obvious meaning?

I wish I could see straight into a coach's mind.

he threw 41 and completed 68% of them I do think it has alot to do with confidence in the QB. You won't win without consistent play in that department. One reason we threw so many times is because we can't run. but we kept trying it which was the key to keeping the D honest. i think i just went on a tangent. nevermind :leaving:

Yeah, I agree, but we shouldn't stop doing that even when our run game starts working. That's been the biggest problem with this coach and this team. We need to figure out how to do BOTH!

I mean if we can do this when our run game is NOT working, when other teams are putting this much pressure on our passing game...NO reason why we shouldn't do that when we have both going full speed.

The Giants and Steelers both won Superbowls with conservative offenses. And both of them, along with the Jets and Kansas City are doing pretty well this year with conservative offenses.

Conservative offenses work great, if they are combined with solid defense and they have the ability to pass when needed.

I guess "conservative" is all perception.

O wait...it's you. ;)

      to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day

      I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..

      Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
