The Carolina Panthers won the time of possession battle in 2018
Unfortunately, playoff spots were awarded on overall win-loss records this season. The Carolina Panthers have spent their entire existence as a franchise wanting to be a run-first/defense-oriented football team. From Dom Capers to Ron Rivera, Frank Reich to Cam Newton, the old school has been the only school in Charlotte. Part of that school is the teaching that winning the battle over the clock is one of the most important aspects of winning the game. You run the ball to control the clock. You force teams to punt to prevent them from chewing up the clock. Time of possession isn’t just a...

Note: Please welcome CSR’s newest contributor Jason Hewitt, who is making his debut with this article. -BS For a rookie wide receiver whose quarterback was injured for the majority of the year, D.J. Moore played exceptionally well. Let’s be honest here. Moore should not have performed as well as he did. Cam Newton’s shoulder injury prevented any opportunity for him to throw any deep balls for Moore to take advantage of. This season, he had 788 receiving yards and two touchdowns, along...

Spider-Cam: Into the Panthers-Verse—How Carolina could’ve gone 11-5
So many games—and seasons—come down to one or two big plays. While Cam Newton identifies with Superman, it’s Spider-Man who’s currently winning at the box office. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse teaches us that multiple universes exist where things turn out slightly different from our current reality. (On a personal note, I strongly identified with the middle-aged Spider-Man with salt-and-pepper hair and a bit of a gut, but I digress.) In the spirit of exploring alternate universes, in another dimension the Carolina Panthers finished the 2018 season with an 11-5 record and are...
