It's so frustrating watching the Panthers.
Good thing I'm not watchingIt's so frustrating watching the Panthers.
Our Defense did not show up today
McCown had a career day, up until Norman picked off that pass. The pass coverage was def hurting, but the guy was also making good throws, it happens. We were getting pressure, but he was getting away from it and making plays. It was a tough game for the D, but those happen. Part of the problem is that Klein is not as good in coverage (or overall) as Kuechly. But for all that, they gave up 10 on the first two drives, TD on the 4th quarter one, and the one on the re-kick. So there was a lot of bend-but-don't-break out there, plus the 2 takeaways. Upside/downside.GS, I still have reservations about the Panthers. This game should have been over by the end of the 3rd Quarter. Yet, the way it played out, McGowan had 300+ passing and was never closed out until the late INT.
A backup QB having his first game being a good one is fairly common because there is a game plan that the D has not seenMcCown had a career day, up until Norman picked off that pass.

On a final note, I don't know what Bersin was doing in the game, on that 3rd down attempt where he fell down.
The OT Williams from OK was inactive today (and last week), not sure about Mayo - if he's been in, it's special teams. Artis-Payne finally got some carries today, but had been inactive the previous 2 games (I think Tolbert coming back strong has got something to do with A-P being in the background). But Shaq T played a lot today, and I think Funchess is getting a fair amount of snaps, just maybe not getting open enough. I thought he would be playing a bigger role, when Kelvin B went down, not so much so far ....A backup QB having his first game being a good one is fairly common because there is a game plan that the D has not seen
Good news is the O line still is doing a great job of pass blocking
Cam was much more accurate today and they weren't dropping passes.
What I don't understand is why our draft pics aren't getting into the game much
