Man, it really is absurb how this staff has handled our offense, our running game specifically. You look at the top five rushers in this league, and you look at their highlights. (Just the other day, I was looking at Doug Martin's highlights versus the Raiders on NFL network on demand) When you see their highlights, I almost never see them getting a handoff from the shotgun formation. Yet I bet throughout this season, 80% of our runs came out of the shotgun. That is outrageous! I'm the only one who says this, but this is borderline sabotaging. I mean is someone paying Rivera under the table to mess us up, is Rivera betting against the Panthers in Las Vegas or something? This is unexplainable stuff right here.

did you chart this yourself?

Yes.

I often like to do this when I think I notice a trend on game day, but later aren't so sure. The emotion of watching the game live often gives us a twisted perception of what is going on. Actually stopping each play to look at formations, etc. gives a more balanced perspective.

Usually, the fans exagerate how much their team is doing something wrong. In this case, I think we all underestimate how much they're doing it wrong.

Thanks for the stats. I could tell we were doing a lot of things wrong just by looking at the carries for the runningbacks but hot damn, I did not know it was so lopsided. It wasn't a blow out the entire game. They were up 24-7. That's not game over, especially when the defense got the ball back twice.

This team just can't hold a lead or come back from a deficit. Rivera is donezo. Any coach could do what he has so far. I'd keep McDermmot and bring in a new offensive minded coach to work with Cam like Bruce Arians.

I was wondering what the hell happened after that first TD drive.. It's like we just totally changed philosophies. And then once Cam threw the pick 6 and Holliday was given a TD by the refs, the collective attitude of the team reverted to our weekly 'here we go again' lethargy.

I agree 100% and appreciate your efforts.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
