Lots of positives from tonight's game

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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
