The play calls at the end of the game were NOT playoff caliber

We won.

I guess you'd be happier with the play calling if they had been more aggressive and lost the game.

 

and if not that fumbled snap to Ryan at the end of the game? We're watching a FG by Falcons and staring at a wild card weekend right in the face..........

 

........and no I don't want aggressive play calling......you didn't read my post.

 

I want intelligent play calling.................whereas aggressive play call is desperate play calling, not a prudent strategy at all.

 

 Proactively approaching an intelligent optional play strategy that forces a defense to zone their DBs to open up the pass game or set Cam scramble run and/or a drop pass to a back in motion....................

 

There is no defense in the whole NFL that can consistently stop an offense that has a pass threat, run threat and a big scrambling fast QB option all positioned to be leveraged during the same play..........none....... zip..........

 

Right now.........the Panthers have the only big and fast QB in the NFL.............they need to leverage that x factor synergistically with the pass/run options and it will compromise any defense attempting to stop it.

 

I guarantee you that kind of play action option pass/run games us 4 to 12 yards every time we run it.

I was surprised and did not like the third down play call on our last drive.  Last week against the Saints I thought they should have made a pass attempt to get a first down and end the game.  Of course glad they didn't.  We then marched down the field scored and won.  Today the Panthers were in the same position and almost made the same mistake.  If not for a bad snap the Panthers might have very easily lost on a game ending field goal.  

 

Very glad we pulled the game out, but you go for the first down in that situation.

 

My son and I were there and had a blast today.  Now its on to the Playoffs.

what a bunch of negative bitches!!!!!! 11 of our last 12 and you fags have the nerve

 

You are living in dreamland...............

 

Guess what?

 

The regular season is over.....the past is history.

 

The Panthers are 0-0 in a brand new season with 12 other teams right now at 0-0...........at this very moment and need to go on a 3 win streak to capture the goal of every team in the NFL or else face the end of the season.

 

the regular season is history and irrelevant.

 

Did you see Cam at the end of the game..........asked about taking a week off?

 

"No We've got work to do ...............we've got to get better"...........he knows.

I didn't agree with the play calling.

But we won. So at this point, I don't care.

There isn't a single game where I agree with the play calling. Why sweat it when ya win. Seriously.

Get over it already.

Agreed..........but in my post I outline the kind of plays you can leverage with a patch work O line we have right now and remain a serious threat to move the chains each possession..............

 

 

I read your post and your suggestions.  I do not think we have the personnel to run or perform your ideas on a consistent basis.  We have only one person maybe 2 who can consistently beat who is guarding them.  Steve Smith and Olsen.  Today only 1 of those guys are was available.  It could be the route tree but Ginn was the only one who consistently run away from anyone and he is basically out the play if he gets jammed.  Add to the fact that the right side of the line breaks down so inconsistently at times.  I just don't know if Shula has the personnel to call a lot of things. 

 

We have quite possibly the worst receiving corps in the NFC. 

Out of all the playoff teams we have by far the worst offensive line imo.

If you have a business that you are losing or failing to gain market share because your marketing strategy is flawed.........yet you still make a profit and manage to keep in business............do you shrug your shoulders and say why sweat it???

 

Or do you hunker down and get that fixed before someone comes along and eats up the rest of your market?

 

That is the potential issue the Panther offensive play calling is facing going into this post season..........

Well said, but we have one good pulling guard and center that can move the line to force all secondary off coverage on our WRs............and even the worse ones can get open in a zone switch from man to man. yet Cam doesn't even have to throw there..........a pump fake and a scramble or drop off pass to a Back and the yards are there with no way to defend it consistently.

 

That type of play should be used at lease once every series or so........

We can't have both top of the line Mcdermott defenses and Chudzinski offenses. I am satisfied with our defense and Clutch offense, as long as we keep winning the close ones. I do understand these fourth quarters are nerve wracking but I'd rather have our current situation then the 2008 situation (great run game, okay pass game, but average defense). Defense will take you to the playoffs, now Newton and Co. needs to stay clutch and attempt to score 17-23 a game and the road to the SB will be that much easier.

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
