The Carolina Panthers playoff hopes deflated in Monday night’s 12-9 loss to the New Orleans Saints. A 50-yard trick play pass from Christian McCaffrey would give the Panthers their only offensive score of the night. The Saints’ defense was problematic for Carolina Ryan Kalil Color Rush Jersey , slowing down McCaffrey and their run game. On 56 plays, Panthers gained a measly 197 yards and averaged 3.5 yards per play. Due to lingering right shoulder issues, Cam Newton was unable to throw downfield and to the outside. In perhaps the biggest game changer of the night, D.J. Moore fumbled the ball after a big gain in the third quarter that would prevent the Panthers from extending their 7-6 lead. The Atlanta Falcons had one of their best defensive games in their 40-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The Falcons racked up a season-high seven sacks and were blitzing Josh Rosen for much of the afternoon. Atlanta kept the Cardinals’ offense limited. Arizona only totaled 253 yards for the day with a garbage time drive late in the game. Grady Jarrett was a huge factor on defense. He not only stopped the run, but he recorded two sacks and a forced fumble.The Panthers are riding a six-game losing streak. If they are to avoid another loss against their division rival Falcons, here are the three keys for Carolina’s offense to turn things around and come away with a win:Continue using McCaffrey: Whether it’s running, receiving Luke Kuechly Color Rush Jersey , or even throwing, McCaffrey is having a historic season. McCaffrey is within arm’s reach of becoming the third player in NFL history with 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. Despite the giant dark cloud the Panthers have summoned upon them, McCaffrey continues to be that bright light. The Falcons’ have the No. 25 rushing defense in the league and are No. 22 in passing defense. McCaffrey is also capable of successfully running quick routes, which needs to be utilized. Atlanta’s Cover 3 defense has been vulnerable all season long against short routes by running backs. Heinicke Time: In his four-year NFL career, Taylor Heinicke has thrown five passes. Not exactly the most promising C.J. Anderson Jersey , but Newton has been limited in recent weeks which has really hindered Carolina. The Panthers truly have a talented group of wideouts, including Moore who leads all rookie wide receivers in the league with 860 scrimmage yards. They just haven’t had someone with the ability to throw deep as of late. Heinicke is familiar with Norv Turner’s offense from his days in Minnesota. He’s also been taking live reps once a week. Heinicke has an arm and against a weak pass defense, the Panthers should take advantage of the fresh arm.More Moore: Aside from his disastrous fumble, things were quiet from Moore on Monday as Newton threw for a season low in passing yards. With not much action happening through the air, there hasn’t been much for Moore to do. However, with a new quarterback in the driver’s seat, the Panthers’ offense could use the explosiveness that Moore possesses. Carolina will need to rely on big plays to keep the offense clicking. Moore is reliable and he has the speediness to outmaneuver the Falcons’ secondary.A healthy quarterback could be the change the Panthers desperately need. If the Panthers can get things clicking downfield and execute big plays Russell Color Rush Shepard Jersey , they can halt their losing skid. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Panthers are preparing for life without Cam Newton next season in case the team’s franchise quarterback can’t make it back from a lingering shoulder injury.Panthers owner David Tepper said Tuesday that while the team is exhausting all options to make sure Newton’s throwing shoulder gets the medical attention he needs this offseason, it is important to “keep their options open.”The hope, he said, is Newton will be healthy. However, it’s been 2½ weeks since Carolina’s season ended, and the team still doesn’t know if the 2015 league MVP will need surgery.The Panthers have never said what the injury is — and Newton doesn’t know either.“If you know what you might be facing next year Jordan Scarlett Jersey , or not facing — hopefully Cam’s shoulder is fantastic and we’re hunky dory and we’re all happy — (but) if it’s not, you may need more cap space,” Tepper said. “You need to be able to go out and find somebody. If you don’t, (reporters) are going to be writing up what a dope we are here. Why didn’t we make these other moves?”Newton struggled most of the season throwing the ball more than 15 yards downfield because of a lingering shoulder issue, partially stemming from surgery to repair a partially torn rotator cuff in 2017. The Panthers eventually shut him down with two games remaining after being eliminated from playoff contention.The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton was a mere shell of himself in the passing game the second half of last season as the Panthers finished 7-9 after starting the season 6-2.Newton threw six interceptions and two touchdowns in his final three games.“Of course it’s a concern,” Tepper said of Newton’s shoulder. “… Cam Newton is the guy we are going to be depending on. He’s a talent. But it would be foolish for anybody to say that you’re not having an awareness of what could be and potential things that could happen through the year.”Tepper also pointed to Colts QB Andrew Luck as a player who returned from a shoulder injury to play at a high level this year — although that came after Luck sat out all of the 2017 season.“From our people on the inside and his people on the outside there are a lot of people looking to see what is the best course of action https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Christian-Miller-Jersey ,” Tepper said.Tepper said undrafted rookie Kyle Allen, who played well in Carolina’s season-ending win at New Orleans — a game in which the Saints rested many of their starters after having clinched home-field advantage in the NFC — is an option.However, Tepper also said looking outside the organization is a possibility.He said in retrospect the Panthers should’ve considered sitting down Newton earlier in the season when he wasn’t able to practice during the week.“As Cam’s shoulder got worse that made it that much harder to win,” Tepper said.Tepper also said during the 34-minute interview with reporters:— General manager Marty Hurney and coach Ron Rivera are still the right people to lead the franchise, which is why he retained their services following a 7-9 season. He said “it seemed to me we had some pretty good personnel.”— The Panthers “got older faster than we thought we were” on defense and he should have made some coaching moves earlier in the season when it was apparent the team was struggling. He had input on Rivera taking over defensive play-calling duties in Week 13 from defensive coordinator Eric Washington, a role Rivera will maintain next season. Tepper likes that Rivera “has his reigns” on the defense again.— He and his management team, led by president Tom Glick Will Grier Jersey , are actively exploring options to bring a Major League Soccer expansion team to Charlotte.— He is “still investigating” the long-term option of building a new football stadium. Bank of America Stadium opened in 1996 and is one of the older stadiums in the league.— He plans to build a practice bubble on the team’s current practice fields before next season, while exploring other more permanent practice facility options possibly south of the border in South Carolina. “When you have to practice in a ballroom (because of rain), that’s just crazy to me,” said Tepper.— He plans to expand the team’s ring of honor. He didn’t mention anyone by name, but a couple of logical options are Steve Smith and Julius Peppers, if he decided to retire.— The Panthers will have training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Greg-Little-Jersey , for one more season, but wouldn’t rule out anything beyond 2019.— He wouldn’t comment on safety Eric Reid’s claim that he is being targeted by the league through excessive drug testing because of the ongoing collusion case against the NFL in which he alleged team owners conspired to keep him out of the league because of his decision to kneel alongside former 49ers teammate Colin Kaepernick during the national anthem to protest racial and social injustice.Tepper said the player should take that up with the NFL Players Association. Earlier this month, the NFL and the NFL Players Association said in a joint statement that Reid was not singled out with excessive drug tests.
