The Good: Our Offense Scored 37 points against a pretty darned good Defense.
The Bad: Our Defense gave up 59 points against a really good Offense.
If we had been playing anyone else today and had scored 37 points, chances are very good that we would have won the game.
We scored MORE POINTS IN ONE GAME (37) than all three of the last three season openers combined (30 points)
Panthers vs Bears set an NFL all-time record for most points scored in a season opener.
It's hard to feel good about a loss, but I'm not down on the team for this one.
Defense has to get better.
Rookies played well for rookies on both sides of the ball.
XL is my boy, but danged man, he is starting to look like he couldn't catch a cold in a winter snowstorm buck naked.
T-Mac was pretty much shut down today.
Can I get a HELL YEAH for Jalen Coker????? OMG, he is, as of now, the best WR on the team.
Bobby Brown III didn't look like he was going to make it thru the first game, not to mention making it thru a second game next week.
Bryce Young made some really good decisions today and showed great vision and accuracy.
Jonathan Brooks still looks a little gun-shy when he runs thru tackles. He looked better receiving than rushing.
Chubba showed a little ring rust, or was it just the Bears' Defense was that good?
It was showing 127° on the field at the start of the game. That's crazy insane.
Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.
