Well, I missed most of the game while it was live. Just picked up bits and pieces here and there. But i watched it later on DVR...
We NEEDED the QB change...SERIOUSLY.!! This team actually looked like a TEAM. Played decent football most of the game. Converted short yardages; Made first downs; Accurate passing; Stout running game; Good Special Teams effort; Pineiro looking like mid-season form; Defense was mostly solid, even with DB and ST out; DBs looked like they were "in the moment". Overall, it looked like an NFL football team.
Andy Dalton looked really good. The only difference between yesterday and the first two weeks was Dalton. He literally turned the team around. Strong throws, plenty of 'zip' when needed. Lots of downfield throws. That throw to Thielen was like an art piece. Could not have been placed any better. The TD to Johnson was really nice too. Now, lets keep Andy healthy.!!!
Chuba Hubbard looked like he meant business. Running the ball AND catching the ball. Very solid.
Diontae Johnson looked good. Adam Thielen looked good. Tommy Tremble looked good. Lets hope Thielen is not seriously hurt. Looked like it happened when he went down. Maybe just an impact bruise or a severe cramp or something ....
D-line was decent -- considering they hadn't played together. I suspect they'll get even better.
O-Line was solid. Ekwonu still has a way to go, but getting better. If we can keep them healthy...???
THIS IS WHAT PANTHERS FOOTBALL SHOULD LOOK LIKE...
