30 rushes, 7 points.

Panther fans when we lose with 300 passing yards: "we'll, pfffft, obviously it's because we're not running enough"

Panther fans when we run 30 times and score 7 points: "well you know, if we passed more we would've scored -33 points!"

I'm embarrassed that I root for the same team as some of you

Last year:

 

29 passes (not even including the sacks and plays Newton had to tuck it and run)

 

19 rushes

 

12 points

 

Guys, maybe, just maybe... Seattle's defense is good??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Packers only scored 12 vs them last year.  New England scored 23 but they have Brady and they were shut down in the second half.  Dallas only 7.  They gave up what an average of 15 points per game?  They are damn good.  Us passing and being one dimensional against the best secondary in football would not have brought us that much more success.

 

And our scoring drive having more pass attempts than rushes doesn't mean anything.  It took us a good while to get into the endzone.  Seattle had to pay respect to the run by the time we had our scoring drive.  It helps the passing game hence why PA had success for us today.  

 

If only those other teams ran more they would've done better!

Now when have I ever said we should run or not run the ball more?

It has nothing to do with that.  I don't think us passing or running the ball more would have done anything.  Seattle's defense is just elite, it is that simple.  They shut down the Packers passing game who field the best QB in football.  They did the same against New England who field the second, or in some peoples minds, best QB in football.  They shut down the run as good as anyone.  They shut down everything.

 

My point is simply, can people stop overreacting?  Seattle's defense is considered elite for a reason.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
