The Carolina Panthers defeated the San Francisco 49ers in what was the first truly satisfying season opener in many seasons. Sure, they played the 49ers, one of the worst teams in the league. But they handled them easily, something Carolina Panthers teams in the past have not always done. As such, there are a few awards I would like to hand out.

Unfortunately, I am all out of gameballs. Instead, I will be awarding top performances with random items from my home.

During the first half of the game Cam Newton looked much like the quarterback I watched in practice throughout the past several weeks. Cam was making the right decisions but rusty as hell. We are used to seeing overthrows from Cam, but not to such an extent that we saw on Sunday.

Now focus moves to Newton in practice this week. All eyes are on his shoulder and any soreness that may develop from the most action he has seen in 2017.

Game Award: WD-40 , keeps things loose and prevents rust from reoccurring. Apply liberally as needed.

There was so much pressure on Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano for this game, and he handled it like a champ. No one receives more heat than a kicker on the radar of an angry fan base. Gano executed a perfect game despite the harsh criticism over the past weeks/months. That should go a long way in silencing the haters. But if not, I happen to have these bad boys as an award.

Game Award: Noise Cancelling Headphones. Wear them this week while listening to the mellow tunes of Christopher Cross. I guarantee amazing results.

In his first NFL game, Christian McCaffrey was more than just a player on offense. Christian McCaffrey was the Carolina Panthers offense. Even when not carrying or catching the ball, McCaffrey had a positive effect on everything that happened on the offensive side of the ball for the Panthers.

I am not even concerned about his fumble. Listen, every rookie is going to fumble at some point. CMC got it out of the way in week one when the game was already decided. I can't think of a better time.

Game Award: A half eaten family sized bag of skittles. I planned on having a full bag to give CMC but things got emotional last night during my binge of Pretty Little Liars. My bad.

And finally for the Carolina Panthers Defense, who allowed the fewest points during week 1 in Panthers history.  As a group you reminded us what Panthers football is all about. Sure, the flashy new toys on offense are fun, but systematically shutting down another team is much more satisfying.

Game Award: An entire case of Miller High Life. There are 24 cans of pure heaven in this box, so each starter can have two. But Star Lotulelei and Luke Kuechly deserve the two that are left over. Those guys put up the standout performances. Cheers, boys.

This.  It's important to stay hydrated.

Would like to give the 49ers offense a participation trophy, because by gosh they tried!

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
