Ok, no need to start anymore negative threads, there are enough of those. So let's take a look at the few positives that I saw in this game. Here they are:

Julius Peppers: He got after it. True, his big plays happened after the game was out of hand, but he was forcing the issue all game. I have no concerns about him.

Captain Munnerlyn: Considering he is a rookie picked in the 7th round, he really held his own out there. He wasn't outstanding, but he did his job and didn't make any critical errors. He earned my trust. He also did a good job returning punts.

Thomas Davis: No explanation necessary.

Damione Lewis: I thought Lewis looked good. He showed a lot of hustle catching several guys from behind and recovering a fumble. I never noticed him getting pushed around either.

Jason Baker: Punted the ball well. Solid punter.

Actually I thought the defense did a pretty good job. Couple of breakdowns but over all not bad.

I was expecting the defense to be absolutely horrible today, and they proved me wrong. They weren't beastly, but they looked a lot better than in the pre-season. Dont' get me wrong. They need to improve, but their pedestrian performance was completely overshadowed by everything that went wrong in the game.

I would add

Louis Leonard: Showed well against the run when he was in, also did well in pass pressure albeit when the game was too far gone.

Johnathan Stewart: What injury?

Mike Goodson: Looked great returning kicks all day. Not so much as the RB

Oh yeah, I meant to include Goodson as KR. He showed his speed and managed to get past the first wave every time he ran with it. Too bad he fumbled as RB.

I think we should stick with Goodson as KR and Munnerlyn as PR. They both did better than I expected.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
