Fourth deflection. Good grief.

Oh my. That should've been picked. Three tipped passes in 18 minutes is problematic.

We got our first 1st down!!! Almost 17 minutes into the game.

Well, if they keep getting thrown back out there after the offense sputters they're gonna run out of gas.

Not being sarcastic, the D is looking a lot better as the game goes on.

Man, I wish we could've gotten on that. Their punt returner has been super shaky.

It's alright everybody. We're fine.

They're giving us credit for the penalty. Minus the penalty we actually have -9 yards of offense.

Oh man, this is so bad.

We got bailed out by a super questionable call. Hopefully that'll be the spark that gets us going.

If Brissett is hitting these open receivers it's 14-0.

We made a conscious decision to take a step back in pass rush to improve on run stopping. Well, at least the first part of the plan is working.

It's like watching UNC on D. Except the Panthers' offense also sucks.

Snow assured me that Horn was one of the best players in the league. He's had two bad mistakes early. If we're facing Deshaun Watson it's already 14-0.

Through two drives our offense has managed a total of -5 yards. The boos are about to crank up on earnest.

Here we are behind the chains again. Ian Thomas is useless. I have no idea why we resigned him much less for actual starter money.

Hey, I'll take it. I'll just say this... we're lucky the Browns are playing a backup QB.

Whew. We got lucky there. Horn got his ankles broken.

Shaq was there he just couldn't make the tackle in time.

Oh my. Other than a turnover that's about as bad as a first offensive series gets.

I just know that I know two people personally who gained significant weight during a bought with shingles. But you seem triggered so please don't let me stop you.

I'm assuming the former but we'll see. I can't honestly say I'd be shocked if it proves to be the latter.

Folks are gonna panic about Shenault being inactive but he was just acquired a week ago. He's likely still learning the playbook and the staff is likely still working on carving out a specific role for him meanwhile being knee-deep in prepping for the Browns. I wouldn't read too much into it just yet.

Weight gain is a common side effect of shingles. If he wants to blame the medication, whatever. Either way he seems to have addressed some things and looks a lot better for it. Good for him.

He really does look a lot better. He looked like poo last year. Honestly, I was a bit concerned for him. I don't think he's the right guy to be coaching the Panthers but I don't wish him any ill.
