Surprised this isn’t posted yet but I assume most here are happily intoxicated.

Still floating a bit, as that was intensely refreshing… but the Panthers ARE a bad team.
Still… going into this week on a high note for sure.

Excited by the performance. But tempered by watching how good Mayfield and the Yucks look against the Redskins.

Not ready to award the Superbowl trophy yet, but the Saints dominated the Panthers. Yes, they are a bad team, but the Saints did what they should have done and won the game easily.

Overall.... a good start.

• Being able to run the ball as well as we did really helps this offense out. It makes things easier for the offensive line and Edna Carr. Like I said in the preseason, if we can run the ball and play elite defense we can make a playoff run.

• Carr had more pep in his step. He had more swag. He was trying to push the ball down field on 3rd and 5+’s. He wasn’t worried about the first down. He was trying to attack. I like that. I respect that. I want that aggression to continue. He was accurate today as well. Happy with Carr today.

• Offensive line performed extremely well for it to be a source of contention. I didn’t pay much attention to Penning, but he didn’t make mistakes that jumped off the screen either. This scheme may compliment them as a unit.

• The defense is just as elite as I anticipated. I’m hoping it isn’t because we were facing Carolina. I don’t think that’s the case though. Chase Young. Carl Granderson. The entire secondary. Willie Gay. I believe we have a top 5 defense.

Bullet Points!?!?! Damn, you stepping up your game Rez!

Boston Saint · 09-08-2024, 06:38 PM

Panthers only got 193 total yards?! Holy crap!

Not much I didn't like.

Offense

Offensive playcall was completely different
REAL play action pass plays
NO throwing for 8 yards on example "3rd and 12"
Offensive line played very well

Defense

Played solid
Coverage good
Run stop great

Special Teams

What was not to like?

Next week will be a better indicator of where this team really is playing Dallas. Much more talented team that also "peaks" early in the season.

Klint Kubiak's game plan.

See AK, see Taysom, see Shaheed.

That defense looks like it could be top-tier. I was confused as hell though with some of those jersey numbers (Gay, Harris & Kool-Aid).

The Panthers are probably looking at getting another top pick in the draft though. They are that bad. The Dallas game on the road is a much better gauge of where we are as a team.

Dislikes - I just don't like Shaheed covering punts & kick-offs. Can we get someone else to take care of special team duties?
