Liked. Big props to Darnold, didn’t think he had it in him

liked  the Panthers QB coach, he is a miracle worker, a helluva lot more than Brady

disliked. Trying to run Hubbard East West, can’t do it, too slow

disliked  Rhule or Brady favoring his draft pick over Freeman, 

disliked. Brady’s 4th and 1 calls and that end around at that time, Jesus.

Liked..............at the end of the first quarter the momentum of the whole game was going with the Texans but by 5 mins in the 3rd quarter the Panthers reclaimed it for the rest of the game.........also the QB sneak for a score......

Dislike.......using small backs for short yardage plays between the tackles..........ugh!

LIKED: We did not go conservative with our play calling. Trusted Sam to put it away for us, and the fact that he did that. 

DID NOT LIKE AND HAVE NOT LIKED SO FAR THIS FREAKIN SEASON: For some reason we are totally against spreading the offense out in the red zone. We do not have the line for these tight formations. Especially if we actually plan on running the ball straight forward.

This was the OL's worst game thus far.  We did better last two.

I think some of the bad OL play was just great defensive playcalling.

Lovie Smith is a savvy DC.  As soon as CMC went down, he dialed up the defensive pressure on Darnold.  Smith knew Darnold just lost his safety blanket so he went after him.  And, for a few series, the tactic was pretty effective.

LIKED:  The team's resilience when CMC went down.  Several players stepped up in the second half to keep the offense moving along and secure the win. 

 

DISLIKED:  The soft, prevent-defense playcalling on Houston's last drive of the first half.  It's a rookie QB in his first start.  Blitz him EVERY PLAY !

There may be a bit of that, but 3 out of 4 sacks were BEFORE CMC went out.
This was the weakest DL we've played by far,  according to PFF.  So either PFF is ass, or we played worse and I'd say  both.  

Sam may have been taking more time....it felt that way.

There still weren't  large holes to run through.

There's a reason Pat Meyer and Rhule chose Elflein over Daley.   

DT Blacklock tore up with a sack, a QB hit, and a FF.  He had a 30.2 pff last year.

    • He is a really good WR and they have a rookie QB so they can afford it. Look at what they have been wasting on Cousins for years? That's where this cap came from lol. Now the guaranteed money is high but Minny had to keep him while taking a shot on a rookie QB.     
    • Johnson is very smart IMO. He will get paid either way but avoiding a terrible spot can save your career too. He looks to be working the system and good for him. I always thought hiring interviews go both ways and have been disappointed watching people not realize this. He handled DC roughly but it was also funny because he did see them as what they are which is a new ownership group, even with Petters, he would be likely be destined for failure there while they figure out the normal learning curve of the NFL.  It's not lying it's just 'your great but I can't say what your not because that is taboo'. Sometimes lies are expected if the truth isn't what they want.  I agree generally. Ron was doing great work as a DC where he put in 6 years as DC at 2 teams vs Canales 1 year as OC before becoming a HC. Ron is such a known quantity by now, he earned his 2nd shot as a HC and it went as expected given his proclivities. Offense is just safer in this NFL vs Defense so any one that can score will get a look. Ryans is a beast but how do you think he fairs without Slowick? Which HCs were in the SB? Offensive guys. It's a thing and makes laughing about TB, Atlanta and NO all having beatable defensive coaches the Panthers still can't beat LOL. It's a dump. If your building a career the Panthers are a long shot. If you are taking a shot, getting paid and/or ready to grow from this failure then this is a great option. I think the jobs are extremely valuable on many levels but there is always a turd in the punchbowl with Tepper. Hurney, Rhule, Friterer, now Caldwell and maybe Morgan. Tepper always leaves some dookie around to contaminate the next batch...they literally help him fug up the next time. It's Tepper's MO, spend lots of money and lean on past failures into new failures. There has not been a truly fresh start under Tepper yet which explains why he keeps failing. 
    • yeah lol never say it can't get any worse with David Tepper in charge
