14....

This is how many times we ran the ball the whole game. Even with the three and outs in the second half we are only down 6 points. We seem to abandon the run so quickly and I don't understand the play calling.

DWill will run the ball once, then they take him out, out JStew in. None of it makes any sense. DWill proved last year he can run the ball 25 times a game. That is why we won 12 games last year.

It's like the coaches just got out of coaching 101 class and have already forgotten everything they learned.

I can't imagine the anger and frustration that has to be growing in the locker room.

Also, the defense looked very aggressive the first half, then came out very passive. I mean WTF.

What is going on?!?!

One of the better RB's last year who is perfectly healthy and we don't use him... amazing

I still don't understand the series in the 3rd quarter. Dallas punted the ball and we were down around the 8 yard line. Deangelo makes a 16 yard run on first down. The next play? A friggin bomb down the left sideline to Smith followed by two more passes and a 3 and out. Why not continue to run the ball? Use up some clock and run the ball. We were only down 6 at the f*ckin time. Frustrating stuff man.

You could tell it was frustrating to DeAngelo, too. I don't get it. I like Stewart, but why do they insist on pulling DeAngelo when he's hot and going with Stewart?

Run the fuging ball.

Not to mention a 1st round back up that gets 3 runs called.

2 weeks in a row now this team has been out coached. Dallas is a very average team.

[Gscottnc5]

There is nothing more demoralizing to a defense to know the other team is going to run the ball and the defense not be able to stop it.

If they just give the opportunity for DWIll and the OLine to get into a rhythm, we might see some progress.

Pathetic. I have always been a loyal fan and still will be, but something has to change. If I were DWill, I would be demanding the ball on the sideline. "Give me the Fcuking ball"

Agreed. That was the point in the game when I lost it. Totally disgusting.

Its time to clean fuging house.....

[Gscottnc5]

Can anyone tell me if Jeff davidson was this type of play caller in Cleveland?

[SCP]

Even Chris Berman and Tom Jackson said it coming out of half time. With a 7-0 lead, expect a heavy dose of running the football from Carolina in the second half. If Chris Berman can see it, why can't Davidson see it?

[Gscottnc5]

Until the Panthers coaching staff learns that we need 30+ runs a game, expect more L's this season.

Deangelo needs 20 - 25 touches a game

J Stew needs 10 - 15 touches a game

[DaCityKats]

14 attempts is assaine. they know we can't put the ball in jakes hands and you have two stud rbs in your backfield. why abandon the run when its your bread n butter.........this coaching staff sucks major dick.if i ever see fox i swear il call him a pussy bc he is too soft.

[Khyber53]

Hey, they can keep rotating DWill and JStew, it works great. As long as you keep running. And running. And running.

There's the old adage that when you're behind, you pass to catch up fast. But haven't we seen both of Double Trouble break off 50, 60, 70 yard and longer runs? Aren't those just as effective in making a comeback?

Yanno, on paper, we have a fantastic game plan -- run the rock, run it again and take a shot at the end zone once in a while with the passing game. Why do we toss it out the window so often?

Why do we toss it when we're winning?

I'm new to the Panthers, so didn't know Davidson came from the Browns. Fox also hired Scherer as his QB coach. Scherer is a Brown's cast-off. In case fox didn't' notice, the Brown's stunk.
