PANTHERS DID GOOD -- (IN COMPARISON TO....)

It's difficult for me to be upbeat in any scenario. We were playing against a quarterback who had a total of four NFL starts prior to that game. Defense did good (for a while), and Burns was in Beastmode. The offense (intentionally spelled with a small "s") did better than the preseason, but even Bryce looked very uninspired. None of the offense seemed to be engaged in the game to me. Very lackadaisical and never once got in a "hurry up" offense. I've seen more exciting games of Golf than that one.
