1. DL absolutely balled the fug out, against an elite OL. 5 sacks today. Packers had only allowed 14 sacks through the first 13 games...

2. Defensive adjustments. Snow adjust after the disastrous first 3 drives and the D dominated Rodgers and that elite offense for the rest of the game. A lot of that was the DL stepping up but it was also very well called and the secondary and LBers stepped up there too.

3. Head coaching decisions. After some poor time management in recent weeks and some other head scratcher decisions, Rhule made up for it today at the end of the game. 100% the right decision to kick the quick field goal there and get to use the two minute warning to get the ball back. Obviously Teddy couldn't pull off a game tying drive there, but our future QB (Wilson? Lance?) might be able to, and Rhule's decision there (which most HC's do not make) would give him the chance to.

4.  Draft position in tact. And Aints still playing catchup for the #1 seed (if they lose to the Chiefs, which is likely, the Packers would need to lose out for the Aints to get the 1 seed, unlikely).

 

All in all, a great game for this young, rebuilding team.

Encouraging signs of life while still losing. That's just about the best damn outcome for a 2020 Panthers game. Reminds me of those early 2000s Chargers teams that were in every game and scrapping, but still losing. Then they got Rivers and became a perennial playoff team overnight.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
