Since we have appeared to have lost it, let's stop and think for a second.

Offensively, I felt like we looked good the whole game. We looked like an NFL team. Penalties killed us. I'm sick to death of some people saying "it's Cam's fault for the fumble". Well, then it's also Smith's fault for his fumble that killed a drive that looked like it had promise. It's the fault of all the false starts that killed drives. That one fumble by Cam didn't cost us the game. Sure, we would have been able to run out the clock, but we still ended up in a VERY good situation for that final drive by Atlanta. Nakamura flailed like an idiot and gave up a 60 yard bomb.

Defensively, I DEFY any of you to say that our defense didn't look impressive. We got after Ryan. Sure, we gave up some runs, but those didn't kill us. The poor tackling at times did, but that was more on tackling receivers (namely Gonzo and Turner). So, when it comes down to it, our defense as a unit played well. Norman did a nice job. Nakamura simply lost us this game, if you want to point fingers. 2 deep balls that lead to 10 points overall. You do the math.

Before the half, STUPID clock management. Period. No excuse.

There. There is your perspective. Feel free to freak-out and call for people's jobs, even though, on the whole, we did fine today.

Norman may very well be the worst starting CB in the league right now. Naka was horrible outside of one play. Linebackers were complete ass with Keuchly getting an exception. Newton played well but continues to be the exact opposite of clutch. Olsen had a great game.

I don't pretend to know enough to bag on our front office, but our coaching staff is a bad joke. Rivera is midway through his second season and still can't figure out a play clock. There are no words for McDermott.

Good post, LO. One disagreement...Norman is going to improve, but he is getting repeatedly picked on. I just don't believe he is quite ready to start. If we had a really good FS, then maybe, but we don't.

We should have signed a vet to tide us over until Norman had time to get acclimated.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
