Did anyone notice during the 2nd half against the Skins how different we were playing. We were letting Jake make plays, and not playing scared. The first half was so conservative, it was the usual playing not to lose, rather than play to win. We were down by a nice margin and had nothing left to lose coming out at halftime so we opened it up and won the game. It was like a different offense, and offense that actually looked Good. My friend was over who is a die hard Skins fan, and he said that we moved the offense better than anyone they have played all year. There defense is pretty good. Yes i know the Skins played crap teams, and crap offenses but we should be scoring more points than we have been. Its time for Davidson too let it all out of the bag, we got nothing left to lose..

OPEN IT UP...and that doesnt mean the Wildcat that we cant run..

I know that last play of the game where Jake ran for the first down... he had me fooled... I definitely liked that play.

I liked it also...didn't they run that bootleg against GB last year or what it just a broken play? I liked the play...but I hope I never see it again.

the playcalling of a Fox team is always better when down by a fairly signficant margin........which is sad. Give Fox a 1 pt league and the coaching job is horrific.

That's b/c Fox's philosophy is to get an early lead (regardless of the margin) and then pound the opposition for the rest of the game (or hope to bore them to death, depending on your perspective) with the running game and a physical defense. Of course, this belies Fox's claim that "other teams practice too" and a single digit lead with anywhere from a quarter to a whole half is an eternity for a decent NFL team to mount a comeback. Last year's games against the Giants and Saints and this year's Cowboys are proof of that. As OP said, it's when we get behind that Fox allows the playcalling to be more "creative", which almost always backfires. It's the "play not to lose" philosophy that someone else mentioned. /rant

maybe the team needs to start playing like they are down 17 points every game, every play.

I agree, but will the coaching staff buy into that and sell that to the players? All too often Fox treats a 3-7 point lead like it's a 20-30 pt lead with 2:00 in the 4th quarter. It's Fox who has to change his approach, and I won't hold my breath for that.

Yea I was expecting a draw play. LOL

You mean we actually do make halftime adjustments and all the nitwits who say we don't are wrong?

The horror!

More like teaching a retard to run. Sure they can do it, but its not great and always surprising.

      He ain't singing another 1 year $4M deal. He needed to get out of here to show what he could do and he has. Now clue about the Commander's cap situation but they should lock him up.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By Dave Gettleman's Shorts · Posted

      Cam's been on record multiple times publically showing displeasure with many of the moves and decision made in the Tepper era starting with Matt Rhule. We all knew Cam's second stint was a PR stunt during a lost season to help drive some fan excitement. But Cam has stated that he was set up for failure by Tepper/Rhule when he was starting just a week after resigning w/o knowing any of the playbook. Then Joe Brady was fired midseason just as they were game planning over the bye week. Plus Sam Darnold's beef/jealousy when Cam was resigned. Cam has also stated how Tepper/front office/and coaching staff has failed regarding the development of Bryce Young. Cam has also directly said he wanted to be Panther's president in order to help with marketing and driving fan's interest which Tepper has likely ignored.  We all know that Tepper is the petty type specifically buying his former boss's house and demolishing it afterwards, having beef with reporters, throwing drinks at fans, etc.

      Could not agree more, he has the frame to add LB bulk. His biggest strength is playing near the LOS, great pursuit and closing speed. Man, it pains me that we let him go entering his prime, he signed a 1 year 4 mill contract. Ian Thomas, Shy Tuttle, Ashawn Robinson, Miles Sanders,  Josh Yijiam, etc so many over paid players and we don’t pay young talent.
