Final: Falcons 31, Panthers 10

Generally speaking, when the Carolina Panthers run for more than 200 yards, it's a good thing.

Sunday, it wasn't nearly enough, as they lost 31-10 to the Atlanta Falcons at Bank of America Stadium.

The Panthers gained 212 of their 288 net yards on the ground, which speaks to the good work done by RBs Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson as well as the struggles of QB Jimmy Clausen.

Stewart finished with a season-high 133 yards on 18 carries, and Goodson added 70 yards and scored a touchdown for the third straight week.

The Panthers fell to 1-12, and kept pace for the first pick in the draft. Buffalo and Detroit fell two games back by winning their third games (beating Cleveland and Green Bay, respectively), while Cincinnati held serve at 2-11 by losing to Pittsburgh.

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
