I am the first to admite that I have given the coaches an easier time tham they might deserve.

However, about the pick-6 after watching a replay:

1. Smith tripped on a similair pattern in the first half (the ball was not thrown to him so noone noticed)

2. Jennings had jumped the route on an eariler almost intercepting it.

So the coach should have know this was a higher risk play this day on this field and not call it in a keep that ball at all cost situation.

Running:

Our running game totally stalled in the 2nd half. Sure we broke an 8-17 yards run a couple of times but it was at least 3 runs for no gain for every one of those. And all this from power running formations.

Our last drive:

We got really lucky on this one with the penaly on Cam (low hit), it does not effect the play and should have been 3 and 9 if the defender doesn´t give it to us.

I agree with your observations, but regarding our run game, it is something we just have to stick with for a while until it gets going. We've erred way too much toward the passing game and it's time to have some patience with the run.

The only other thing I'd add is we still are in the shotgun formation way too much.

What I am saying is: The, main, problem is not the running style or defense. It is that we do not adjust when the other team changes what is not working for them.

Or that our players are not good enough once their weaknesses are found.

Or most likely a combination...

Rivera and McDermott don't seem to realize that Cover 4 works but it should be situational and shouldn't be called 5 plays in a row.

When a play call (specifically a pass play) is not successful people tend to only consider the option that was executed. So to say that that was a bad play call ignored the fact that there were multiple other receivers out on routes at the same time. There may be a primary receiver on a any given play but the success of the play is based on the proper execution of the entire formation. After the fact, it's too easy to judge the call by narrowing your focus to the options the players chose at the time.

Bottom line: if we don't let them march down the field at the end of the game with the same play over and over again, we win.

If they dont give us the penalty on 2 and 9 on our last drive they, most likely, don´t have to march down the field...

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.
