R.I.P. Read Option

[chknwing]

The best part of this game, is the death of the read option. Dont recall seeing a single play using it. Hopefully, thoses pages in the playbook, have been shredded and burned. Can I get a Hell Yeah!

[Hotsauce]

There was at least one play in the 3rd quarter

[CRA]

Run game wasn't anymore effective though....

Glad to see the change, classic case of too little, too late.

Another potentially great season wasted.

Used it a few times, but mostly threw out of it. RIP ron, sean, chud

[Ivan The Awesome]

It was played, I distinctly remember seeing it run to get a 3rd down conversion.

guys give them time. They just switched gears and nearly knocked off the bears. Carolina is at the end of the most difficult part of their schedule. They play the rest of the season like they did today, there is no reason they can not win majority of the remaining games.

Run game wasn't anymore effective though....

It wasn't going to be against the #1 ranked rushing defense.

[Salvo]

Don't have an issue with them using it sparingly to create mismatches. But not as their base offense.

Probably shouldn't have bothered to run it at all against the Bears, though. Even their power run game was lacking today.

Why? Why oh why couldn't we have started the year with the 2 tight base offense and kept Shockey?

[KillerKat]

We stiill called way too many shotgun plays

We may never know...

I agree shockey was a huge loss. If they don't trust barney they should have kept him and passed on tolbert.
