I don't understand why they don't do what the Steelers did a few years ago.Run the ball, let the QB throw 15-17 times a game mostly on play action. Big Ben had multiple stretches were he never had more then 20 attempts. They have 2 VERY good RBs, I don't understand why they keep throwing the ball. Delhomme just can't get it done anymore.
Yeah that was just a bizarrely called game. Just had to keep trying to slip in pass plays.
Where have you been? John and Mark were fired/resigned months ago.....http://www.panthers.com/news/article-1/jon...e7-12caa85991d2
The defense has a lot of injuries on it, and the tackling was very poor last night. For those blaming Delhomme, he wasn't the problem last night, and considering Gross is gone for the year, Delhomme was lucky to get any passes off with the poor passing protection. As for the play calling it was horrible, and Fox needs to take away the duties from Davidson.
Tell me about it. I am a Panthers fan and will admit Panthers fans are the worst for this. I poke around forums like this to avoid the trainwreck that is the Panthers message board.
I own Williams in a dynasty and I'd love to see him used more. And on the surface the playcalling looks REALLY stupid (and maybe it is). HOWEVER, in their defense, Williams is already pretty banged up with limited action. He was a game-time D last week, and was playing on a short turnaround. I'm not sure doubling his workload is a viable option.To pull a double-reverse though, I'll also say that this game was essentially "the season" for Carolina, and I might have pulled out a few more "stops" with regard to Deangelo this week considering that. Next week doesn't matter much when you are basically knocked out of the playoffs THIS week.
Why? Also, Don't call me Jesus.
I don't know why you're such a Fox apologist. Carolina fans haven't been overly obnoxious about this issue. Imagine if Fox was coaching in Philly? I'm not a Carolina fan, but I feel bad for them. It has been unbelievably frustrating watching them this season.Tell me about it. I am a Panthers fan and will admit Panthers fans are the worst for this.

Yeah, Philly fans wouldn't stand for a coach that passed too much instead of running his stud RB...I don't know why you're such a Fox apologist.

If Fox gets canned I will be very surprised if Cowher is not the Panther's next head coach.BassNBrew said:
LMAO....
And, wut's wrong with saying Dwill??? Jstew?
Unfortunately not.
Actually, he was. He missed Smith on the deep throw early and the interception near the MIA 5 was a result of throwing to the wrong window or that was 6, too.The game plan heading into last night was to throw against the Dolphins rookie CB's in order to open up the run, and it should have been effective if executed properly.Granted, losing Gross last week did not help with protection, but when the opportunites were there, Jake missed some.
Completeing less then 50% off your passes and your not the problem, you just lost your privs man!You shouldnt be allowed to post cuz obviously you were not watching the game!when you have D-Lo in the backfield and your not giving it to him, you better be well over 65% comp pct. if your not gonna give it to D-Lo....46% is unacceptable for any NFL quarterback whicj is around the area Delhomme was last night, and if I'm not mistaked not too much better then that on the year. Whats funny is Del-laime audibled a lot out of a run formation just to have D-Lo set up offset to throw an incompletion.
You are kidding, right? The head coach is responsible for everything HIS coaching staff does, so if the play-calling is bad, that is on both the head coach and whichever coach is calling plays. Fox's winning record in Carolina is hard to overlook, but I think this season is gonna cost him his job, and like has been said, there is simply no excuse for abandoning the run like they have at times this year. They did it in the Dallas game, and they did it last night; both of those games were winnable had they not put the game in Jake Delhomme's hands.
Their D is riddled with injuries so this isn't news.
No clue, BBrew.S-Lo
...and a DC from the Colts.
Not kidding. Carolina was down double digits the start of the 3rd quarter and most of the second half. Really the only time they were within one score was the final drive. In the first half the run pass ratio was 15/17. If you exclude the last 3 prayer pass attempts at the end of the half and the run/pass ratio is over 50% toward the run. Almost right where it is normally.So, yes I think it is illogical to fire a coach just because he did not demand to run the ball down double digits in the second half. I am just surprised I am alone in this train of thought.
How do you explain three straight pass plays with 1st and goal from the 7 (score tied 0-0)? They are a running team, that is where their strength is, why go away from it when it matters the most? The HC can, and should, force the OC to call different plays, if the plays he is calling are the wrong ones.How do you explain only 1 run play on goal to go from the 8 yard line (down 14-3, but a TD here makes it a 4 point game, with an entire quarter left)? Again, same rationale as above-Carolina is a running team, why not play to your strength when it's most important?How do you explain having Sutton in the game for the last drive for a FG? Williams should have been in there-he is a good pass receiver, and perhaps their best big play weapon. But even if you don't agree with Williams, why have Sutton in the game? Again, Fox needs to make this call.
Must be dating Fox's daughter or something.
He was resting him for OT.
I think the play calling this year has been terrible in some of the games. When Davidson was hired, I was willing to give him a chance. You were bad mouthing him before he ever stepped foot in Charlotte, all because he was coming over from the Browns. He has had some up and down times with the Panthers. I didn't see you complaining about him last year. Anyway, I don't know why he has backed off from running at times this year, yet relies on a QB that just isn't capable of performing to the extent he used to be able to. It's frustrating to watch that's for sure. So why did you write your post in regard to me? I think you enjoy being a jackass.
I also was yelling to run D Will during many of the goalline situations. But, if memory serves me right, many of the calls were audibled at the line by Jake. I will need to rewatch and double check how many times this happened during the instances you mentioned in the red zone.
Good points and I agree. Fox is a likable coach but he must own stock in Jake Delturnover. I'd like to see Cowher take over next season, or Gruden. I can't picture Shanny in Carolina.
