Is it just me or do we always lose the coin toss?
So, I couldn't watch the game (wasn't broadcast in our area), but was able to track progress on-line.
Quick assessment:
Seems pretty good to me.
- Sacks -- check
- More balanced offense -- check
- Zeke breaks a long run -- check
- More turnovers -- check
- And, most importantly, a win -- check
Again, SB contenders..
Which team in the NFL can rely on the run like we can? The only question we had is, can the coaching staff use it consistently and stick with it when they need too. They have shown from the SD game onwards, they do.
If this is a MM influence, than it’s much bigger overall for us than his brain-fart time-management flaws.
If you just go by the mood in here you would have thought we lost if you didn’t watch the gameSo, I couldn't watch the game (wasn't broadcast in our area), but was able to track progress on-line.

They're beeching about the ref's and missing CMC. They think CMC would have made their o'line better today.
Literally!If you just go by the mood in here you would have thought we lost if you didn’t watch the game
Although I highly doubt McCarthy is the influence of this new return to 2016 dominance offensive balance, I will definitely take the dub.
A couple or 3 on this board mentioned how a resurgence of a healthy oline could go a long way in determining wins and losses.
The offense is doing the whole power run, down hill punishing run game while killing them with play action chunk plays when the defense attempts to cheat up.
A nasty pick your poison balance that resulted in 13 regular season wins in 2016.
IF this Oline continues to dominate and Moore continues to call this balanced blend of power and play action, they will be a hard offense to stop.
Its all about the O line. It has been from the start.
They have literally dominated the last 2 games like they did 5 years ago.
Keep it up oline, Moore and Philbin.
And to answer your question, again, I truly doubt if McCarthy has any influence on the new found success in power running.

Any injured guys expected back? I know Neal and Anae should be back
Curious to see if they wait till after the bye week to bring Gallup and Gallimore back (2 more fairly easy games left then a rest week)Any injured guys expected back? I know Neal and Anae should be back
The microscope lenses are too close.This board is insane. I had to watch what they showed on RedZone, and use the game day thread to keep up, when there were no big plays or scoring threats. The way posters were griping, the whole 4th quarter I thought I missed the Panthers scoring like 3 TDs. People were declaring MM to be the worst coach in the league - meanwhile we're still up by 15 points.
