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.

      Most teams OLs are dealing with injuries at the end of the season. So by that token all QB play should be horrific across the board, but it's not.  Using the OL as an excuse anytime a QB plays bad is just lazy.  This is the same OL when Bryce had his good games not so long ago.  So do they suck just when Bryce does bad? Obviously they played well enough when y'all were doing your victory laps and saying 'you told us Bryce was the man' in the victories. It goes back to my stance with Bryce all along...he's a low end starting QB.  He'd be a great backup. Bryce is going to have a few really nice games a season at this point in his career, with a few WTF games mixed in, but very middling overall.

      Good Lord! I bet the O-line play wasn't the worst since 1980.  And @thebdawg, injuries absolutely can make for a bad showing at the end of the day. That's not an excuse, it's just a fact.

      Defense stepped up after that and held them to a FG. Offense proceeded to turn it over on downs right after.  Was it an incredibly dumb penalty, of course it was. The defense played their asses off though and got zero help from the offense. If you force them to punt at that point instead of the penalty do you really think the offense does anything differently?
