Along thought about yesterday's game, I honestly loved it!

My favorite part of this game was the way the offense methodically marched down the field and hogged the time of possession.

THIS, has showed me how well this team has gelled, and how dangerous this team will be. Even more so on the road, against a division rival, with a backup QB.

Often in this league, the team with the most exciting and high scoring offense has what seems to be a poor defense. Sometimes the defense is not very good, and sometimes the defense is just too gassed to compete after the offense has scored in less than five gameclock minutes.

Other teams put up as many points as possibly as fast as they can, only for the other team to make a fierce comeback, see Browns vs Steelers, Falcons vs Saints, Broncos vs Colts. Sure, essentially the Buc's did the same thing to us, making a comeback of sorts, but it was on a very small scale, only one touchdown and the Panther defense continued to stay much more fresh than a defense that had been trying to stop an offense who has scored 21 unanswered points in the second half.

With a defense like ours, the offense is in great position to not have to take too many unneeded risks.

Going forward, I would like to see this team play rope-a-dope with its opponents, playing somewhat vanilla offense in the first half, hogging the ball and slowly moving down field, all the while viciously holding off opposing teams offenses. Then, in the second half, lay the points on thick and let that defense continue to lay the hammer down!

If it was that easy, everybody would do it.

    • DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday. 
    • I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem. 
    • This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.
