Are the Panthers suicidal?

[hepcat]

I mean that as - D-Williams only getting 10 carries last week. TEN.

6.4YPC, and he got 10 carries. They throw in Mike Goodson, who played pretty well, but still. Williams carried the Panthers to the playoffs two years ago, what happened? Stewart is a straight beast and he only gets 8 carries (1.6 YPC though). Did we just decide we want to break in the rookie QB all of a sudden and let him throw 30+ times to rookie WR's?

Something is wrong with this team, not the players. I think there are some kinda handcuffs on Fox to do certain things (like start Clausen, keep Williams and Stewart on the bench so we lose, not throw Steve Smith the ball much).

I think it's obvious we aren't doing everything we can to win games. I'd like to see the offensive game plan against the Saints, who have the worst D of all the teams the Panthers have played so far. Williams gets 10 carries again with a 6.4YPC, Panthers don't want to win. Plain and simple.

Before you point at average as a justification for more carries, you might want to consider the circumstances. Roughly half of that came on his last 3 carries. We were 2 scores down. 6 of those first 7 carries were for less than 2 yards. We were not sustaining drives with the run. Stewart was not doing any more.

I tried killing myself and failed. God stopped me and made me a Panther fan. I buy season tickets, sat in the rain last sunday and watched us lose again, so I guess I am dead.

Why get Jimmy used to playing with Williams?

My pre-game checklist:

Get chicken wings

Put beers on ice

Plug in defibrilator

Lock medicine cabinet

Have wife hide all cutlery

Secure second-story windows

Remove any rope/chain from the garage

Pray to wake up Monday

Get ready for kickoff

Go Panthers!

I can't believe this had to be pointed out.

The Panthers? No.

After continuing to read some of the threads and posts on this board, I might be :sosp:

how about this...panthers aren't running because it isn't working. it isn't by design. with a new QB you want to run more than you usually do. panthers aren't running because defenses figured out how to shut it down. run blitz. don't just stack the box, invade it. run everyone in and don't worry about getting beat by the pass because the WRs can't get open.

you people make it seem like the panthers want to do something other than run. they aren't running because it isn't working.

what makes it worse is they are playing from behind. when you play from behind you are playing catchup and you don't do that do that on the ground.
