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.

      Just our luck

      Baker was never at any point in his career a bust except maybe with Carolina, in which we set him up to fail to save the coach/GM. Darnold appears to potentially be a new Geno. I would give it at least another season before I am ready to make that leap. Another guy that would have never been successful here. Jones was never a true bust, IMO. Average to below average starting QB. Also his "ascension" is far from assured. This was far more fan hype as a "bust" than actual reality, IMO. Still TBD, ultimately.  MAC Jones is the same middling game manager QB he was in New England but in a Kyle Shanahan offense. So, if you think Mac Jones is now a "success" is Brock Purdy an elite QB? Is he middle of the road?

      The tide finally turns... Even Bryce nut huggers at PFF finally admit the obvious.

      I’ll answer your question even though you won’t answer mine for some reason. I’m asking you because you were the one who brought up the threat of banning with Icege a few weeks ago and also because I’ve seen in the past a poster that you were disagreeing with get banned basically mid argument and the reason given was that they were a “single issue poster”, but I haven’t seen the same standard applied to people who align more closely with your opinions. OP is one of the most obvious and trashy trolls I’ve seen and yet I’ve noticed you specifically promoting his dead threading to gloat about the Panthers QB being bad.

      No way do they give him a contract Keep him through year 4 but on the bench and get brisset for next year find that qb in 2027 draft seen enough  nothing short of a prolific offensive showing over the remaining  games against decent opponents justifies keeping him in a starting role next year  ..or Canales as offensive coordinator
