Top 5 Grades:

WR Kelvin Benjamin, 84.8 overall grade

LB Luke Kuechly, 84.6 overall grade

DI Kyle Love, 83.9 overall grade

OT Daryl Williams, 83.1 overall grade

OG Andrew Norwell, 82.0

Performances of Note:

QB Cam Newton, 79.9 overall grade

Recovering from a poor early interception, that saw him sail a pass too far downfield allowing for the easy takeaway, Newton settled in as the game went on, and delivered several key throws before leading the Panthers into position for the game winning field goal. When the Patriots didn’t get pressure on him, which was on nine of his 33 dropbacks, Newton completed 82.6 percent of his passes, tossed three touchdowns and produced an passer rating of 140.2.

HB Christian McCaffrey, 77.4 overall grade

Don't understand how their game ball went to KB. He had a good game, but if it goes to anybody but Cam it would be Funchess or Peppers. hashtagpffmakesnosense

KB was a beast, catching everything that came his way. You can't get better than that.

Two TDs is better than that in my opinion. Not trying to take away from KB, he did what was asked of him, but the two TDs far outweigh that drop and that puts Funchess over KB to me.

How Gettie thought Solai over Love still baffles me

Wish people knew the difference when it came to DTs. Love is UT and Solai was a NT. Star is our only NT on the team. With that said Solai came with skates.

Kyle Love is still a boss. Still can't believe we cut him last year and then he was still available to be signed after week 3.

Love had extra motivation on Sunday... wanted to show Belichick and the Pats that they were wrong to cut him.

Somewhere there was an interview with him in which he admitted that Sunday was personal.  Forget where I saw it.  Sorry...

Saw the same thing.  Article said they released him a few weeks after he was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and he was very unhappy with the way the situation was handled.  Said he has "no love" (pun intended) for BB whatsoever.

    • Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.               
    • I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is. 
    • His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
