Winners

- James Anderson: He's had a fantastic preseason and continues to be all over the ball carrier.

- DeAngelo Williams: Because of the craptastic line play he didn't have much to work with, but he showed once again why he's the best back in the game on his highlight TD.

- Dan Connor: Similar to Anderson, he FLEW to where the ball was.

- Dante Rosario: Very active tonight. Nice blocks, nice routes, nice catches.

- Jake Delhomme: He wasn't spectacular, but he was average-to-good, which is the best you can hope for from him.

- Kenny Moore: Continues to impress. He looks much more comfortable out there than Jarrett who's been with the team for a while now.

- Everette Brown: Had a great sack, forced fumble where he flew by his guy.

- Captain Munnerlyn: Had some good coverage, good pressure on the QB, great punt return. Needs to work on holding on to the ball though.

Losers

- Secondary: They bumbled and stumbled their way through the night. Breakdowns in coverage and *everyone* missed at least one tackle I think. Godfrey looked horrible when he was in.

- Offensive line: These guys were wretched tonight. Geoff Schwartz looked especially bad similar to last week. I hope he gets cut.

- Ryne Robinson: It looks like he's being phased out. He doesn't have the return spot secured at all and his fumble might spell his doom.

- Julius Peppers/Dwayne Jarrett: Lots are expected from these two this year and they kept up their very lackluster preseason play.

- Nick Hayden: Well, at least he had SOME penetration tonight. He was just regular bad tonight instead of apocalyptically bad like last week.

- Josh McCown: Poor throws, lack of field awareness when he ran backwards into the end zone and fumbled.

Run stopping looked a lot better tonight too. Muched improved over the NY game.

Lehman also made sure people knew where he was plenty of times on the field.

Decori Birmingham showed his worth, but I still don't think there is a way he makes the roster.

Also, the crap line play was because they were stuffing 8 or 9 guys in the box on almost every play in the first half. We kept running, they kept stuffing. Expect a lot of that this year.

Dwayne Jarrett...were was he??

E.brown still did the spin move and it did not work. The run D was better when Favorite was is.but we still need a DT

and our ENTIRE oline needs to do better with the blitz from the 3-4..the 1string looked lost at times.

Was he ever around?

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
