NFL Gameday Final Comparison of Goalline Playcalling

Deion flat out said our goal to go playcalling was horrible.

 

They said we had 9 plays inside of the 3 yard line and only came away with 3 points total.  Inexcuseable.

 

Why they said it was so mind boggling, and this is what scares me about our staff the most, particularly Rivera and Shula, is that we went down there and tried to out-tough them.  Why is that bad?  Because it shows both stubbornness and a refusal to adjust.  Marshall said we went down there and tried to "power" it in and show them we were tougher.  

 

Then when comparing it to what the Niners did in their goal to go situations, Deion said they showed us respect.  Why?  Because on the final TD they scored they went shotgun, spread us out, and then ran Krapperdick out, essentially making it one on ones across the board and trusting him to beat his matchup.  This is what we should've done with Cam.

 

And this is what made it even worse - Deion pointed out how we weren't even built for the calls we were making.  Why?  Because Cam is our leading rusher at 54 yards and our highest output from a RB was 20-some yards.  Yet, we tried to make a statement and push them back off the line and score.  Smh...

 

Even with all of the talent on San Fran's OL, they didn't try to power through us.  They mixed things up, got us off balance, and then made a call dependent on the situation.  IIRC, without looking, that was the bootleg option/pass to Davis and the. The QB sweep Florence and Keek whiffed on.

 

This just really troubles me about our staff going forward if it remains as-is.

That's what many of us were saying on an earlier thread.  Why we line up against a stout D in an obvious running formation and then try to run basic dive plays again and again makes no sense.  If we show run we should pass and if we really want to run we should spread out the defense and then let Cam run it in like they did with Kap.  Our coaching stupidity, however, forced us to run right into the heart of the strength of their defense.  Why our offense insists on telegraphing play after play baffles and frustrates me so hopefully we get somebody in here next year who knows what the fug they are doing.

It felt like we were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole every time they tried to force a run on those goal line stands. And as was said by those analyst we kept doing it and refusing to switch up and try something different. It was completely incompetent playcalling.

This summary is spot on.  We got down on the one yard line and said we either smash it straight ahead and overpower their line, or we give it to them and make them work out of their own endzone with our defense.  Regardless, it absolutely took any guesswork out of it and actually made Vic Fangio's job very easy.  Lowest man wins, and they dug us out every time, totally blew up the line.

 

Really pissing me off now that I'm rehashing in my mind those precious wasted opportunities.  A defense as stout as SF, you get them down to the 1 not once but twice, and don't show a freaking ounce of creativity, at least to make them guess, possibly guessing wrong?

 

Son of a bitch, now I won't sleep tonight.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
