Winners and losers from todays game vs the Cardinals

Winners

Cam Newton- Broke the record for most yards by a debuting QB, rookie or not with 422 yards. Also threw for 2 TD's and ran for one. Hushed his naysayers. Really brought some respect to Carolina. No brainer. :cam:

Steve Smith- Got his swag back. 178 receiving yards and 2 receiving TD's. (had him on my fantasy team) These two are going to have a BRIGHT future together. No brainer as well.

Brandon Lafell- 4 receptions for 70 yards. Came up with some HUGE catches. Showed that he actually does have hands. Showed that he MAY be capable to be our #2 while Gettis is out. He has a HUGE opportunity with this team and the situation we're in.

Chris Gamble- Proved that he can still be relied upon as a #1 corner. Only allowed 3 catches for Fitz.

Greg Hardy- notched a sack and forced fumble and had a ton of pressures. Was in Kolb's face often. Going to have a bright future!

honorable mention: Greg Olsen- Played great for his Panthers debut. Exactly what we expected of him.

Losers

O-Line/Running game- No holes all night. Only 74 rushing yards.:(

Run D- wasnt as bad as some expected but we still gave up too many big runs to a no name RB.

SPECIAL TEAMS- essentially lost the game for us with that punt return. Couldnt do much with our returns either. No confidence in Mare? Punting from the 40 yard line???!!!

Team as a whole- Was explosive in the pass game but was very 1 dimensional. With a run game and a run d, we would have easily of won this game.

dishonorable mention- pass D. Played a lot better than we all thought that they would but gave up too many big plays in crucial moments.

Thoughts?

Just watched the Cardinals post game presser. Perhaps the biggest loser of all time is Patrick Peterson. He said, (on pass defense) "I feel like I had a pretty good game. He made some plays, I made some plays..."

WHAT???!!!

      Two most important people on the field are betas with zero leadership skills. I can’t wait until they’re both gone.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      It's a combo really.  Canales and Bryce are both just not doing great.   Canales choices on the run game this season has lost us games.  Bryce still does a lot of bonehead stuff like not running it in for the TD.  But Canales not running the ball didn't really help open things up either.  Also the team just looks unprepared weekly.  That's on coaching.  I agree that he needs to be a HC or an OC and not both.  We need a real play caller in here.   I do agree, I'd like to see Canales with a QB that he feels fits his system more but even without that not running the ball is just crazy.

      Maybe Canales is playing 3D chess. He's trying to show to the FO why picking up Bryce's 5th year option ain't a good idea.
