Bright Spots

[Happy Panther]

Now that Panther nation is finally comfortable with getting mad at losses, here are the bright spots i saw

1) Deangelo's Run - He didn't have much beyond that but this run was great. He was cornered at about the 20 yard line and juked twice to sneak down the line. Came right at me too in the end zone. Crowd was pumped.

2) Smith's TD - Classic escapism by Newton and a great catch to keep smith on pace to break the single season record.

3) Newton Scramble's for 3 yards - He knew exactly where the first down marker was and made a cut inside that really no other QB will make in the league today.

4) Charles Johnson #95 - Got the call as the last guy out of the tunnel and made plays all day

5) James Anderson #50 - Did anyone see the play where he saw something on offense and started going crazy? First he touched both shoulders then he scraped his chest - all signals to the defense. Anyone have a clue what these signals mean? Then he ran right to the ball to make a tackle for a loss.

Others?

everyone played good but graham burned us all day and some coaching decisions blew the game.

Best Run D and Special teams to date.

Thanks to Happy Panther for highlighting the positive without adopting a defeatist attitude. Unfortunately, too many here accept losing and I do NOT. However, I can appreciate the positives you presented largely because it was NOT presented in a spirit of defeatism. Thanks again!

I think he was wiping his chest, as in, "wiping" off the original blitz call. Then Brees countered, then he called the blitz back on.

Naanee sucks. We need something better at WR2.

Loved the option run for a TD. From the play call to Deangelo making the guy trying to tackle him look stupid. Awesome play.

Got it that makes sense with the wipe.

I guess he is the defensive captain now?

He was turning on beast mode for that play using the swag Cam gave him

[pstall]

he did the wipe off a couple of times. the last one i dont think he countered and they hit Graham. Of course Graham owned the middle of the field.

Besides the blocked PAT, STs played much better.
