I mean, it didn't feel like a thorough whipping as I was watching it live at the stadium, especially in the second half. But I respect Baldy, so....

The first half was a complete ass kicking, minus the points.  The second half was just about holding the lead on a hot field.

The heat advantage turned out to have no effect.  The lack of capitalizing on golden opportunities to put another 7 points on the board in the first half and not being able put them away in the second half is concerning.

This team just needs to play that hard for 60 minutes. The "comfy lead" curse is still there. They need to unlearn that shiz and keep the foot on the gas pedal. 

That's easy to say in game one.  It's a long season and you want to win the war of attrition by the end as well.  In principle I agree with you. I just think that you have to take any opportunity you get during a game to rest as many players as you can. 

Having said that, I would much prefer the comfortable lead be a bit wider at the half before going into prevent mode.

    • I think i lurked a few years before joining in 2017. Probably during the 2015 season
    • https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
