30 rushes, 7 points.

Horrible game plan, and no adjustments. I am not liking this at all.

Panther fans when we lose with 300 passing yards: "we'll, pfffft, obviously it's because we're not running enough"

Panther fans when we run 30 times and score 7 points: "well you know, if we passed more we would've scored -33 points!"

I'm embarrassed that I root for the same team as some of you

What adjustments, what was there to adjust to? Come on guys, Dwill fumbled the fuging ball inside the ten, adjust for THAT????Get fuged. Seattle has a stingy D, Olsen dropped two drive killing balls???Adjust to what exactly, not having  NFL caliber WR's in your lineup???

We would've probably won if we had played CUTE football (read-option).

Last year:

 

29 passes (not even including the sacks and plays Newton had to tuck it and run)

 

19 rushes

 

12 points

 

Guys, maybe, just maybe... Seattle's defense is good??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Packers only scored 12 vs them last year.  New England scored 23 but they have Brady and they were shut down in the second half.  Dallas only 7.  They gave up what an average of 15 points per game?  They are damn good.  Us passing and being one dimensional against the best secondary in football would not have brought us that much more success.

 

And our scoring drive having more pass attempts than rushes doesn't mean anything.  It took us a good while to get into the endzone.  Seattle had to pay respect to the run by the time we had our scoring drive.  It helps the passing game hence why PA had success for us today.  

 

If only those other teams ran more they would've done better!

Now when have I ever said we should run or not run the ball more?

It has nothing to do with that.  I don't think us passing or running the ball more would have done anything.  Seattle's defense is just elite, it is that simple.  They shut down the Packers passing game who field the best QB in football.  They did the same against New England who field the second, or in some peoples minds, best QB in football.  They shut down the run as good as anyone.  They shut down everything.

 

My point is simply, can people stop overreacting?  Seattle's defense is considered elite for a reason.

not disagreeing with that...same way you can't disagree with how bad our secondary is

I don't know damn near every pass we got burnt on Wilson was out of the pocket and a couple were sheer luck.

Is that you Captain Munnerlyn?

I agree with passing over rushing over the course of the season. But that shouldn't be a universal rule for every game. Seattle has a ridiculous secondary and we have average receivers . Thier weakness (if they really have one) is run defence. Throwing just for throwings sake isn't the right call.
