Positives from panthers game!!!!!

Best game all year. I’m pumped, was not expecting us to win this game.

- Jaylen Waddle is a super star. He’s fast, he’s shifty, he’s got sick routes, but he’s also a clutch possesion receiver a unique combination. (John Metchie has some unique similarities, his iron bowl game was incredible and would love to draft him to replace Wilson).
- Jaelan Phillips breakout game 3 sacks, close to 4 they may change it to a half sack for him. Dude has been consistently trending in the right direction.
- Jevon Holland another Int, another stud draft pick. Chris Grier hit a home run with this years draft class.
- Tua completed like 90% of his passes only QB in dolphin history with consecutive games of 80% completion percentage. He may be an elite game manager, some people will bitch about that, others will realize we have something to work with.
- Phillip Lindsay and Myles Gaskin is a Shifty 1-2 punch that has some potential. They weren’t amazing but our OL sucks. They made the most of what they had to work with.
- Duke Riley/ Justin Coleman Punt block recovery TD, set the tone for the game. Huge play!
- Wilkins, Ogbah, Sieler all three are freaking beasts and deserve shout outs.
- Xavien Howard had the pick, also let up a big play but it was his 5th forced turnover on f the year that’s big.
- Godsey was in his bag today, the Smythe QB sneak, the Ahmed Toss run, the red zone play calling. Whenever we needed a good play he schemed it up. I’ve been super hard on play calling all year but today was magnificent.
- 4 wins in a row is incredible in the nfl let’s enjoy it
Drop mic.
 
Mike had a great game today. 4 punts placed inside the 20, 3 inside the 10. First punt led directly to the blocked punt we recovered for our first td. Palardy among league leaders in punts inside the 20 this year. People bring up the 44.5 yard average, but his average is greatly sacrificed by placing the ball inside the 20 and not booting the ball into the endzone to pad his stats. No return yardage was big today too. Sure the haters will hate, but Palardy has been as good as any Dolphin player the last five games.

Offense may be coming together a bit which is nice to see. Don’t know why they’re not getting Mike G more involved but still like what I am seeing. Seeing the D ball out and play emotional is so sweet to see and the rooks are flourishing before our eyes.

Sanders needs a high colonic to read his system of whatever evilness is brewing inside.
Yeah, Tua and the offense is finding its way. Not always pretty, but those numbers are impressive against a Carolina pass defense that entered the game #1.

Agree, defense is playing with confidence and energy. I'd have to say the players prefer this aggressive approach.
 
It’s hard to see on television but I think they were double teaming Gesicki a lot when he was on the field. They also ran the ball a lot today and Gesicki is usually taken out of the game on running plays.

If that's the case, which seems legit to me, we've now proven we can successfully go to other options if you take away Gesicki
 
Who are you keeping?
Hunt, Liam, Dieter, at least those three. Liam is playing out of position and Dieter is very serviceable if not a terrific backup. Hunt is just fine. And although Jackson was drafted to be a tackle he seems to be settling in at guard. Not ready to give up on him….just yet. We need better coaching
 
Let's not get this twisted, the Panthers suck. But, I agree those are all very positive developments. I said before that I expected Phillips to improve game by game his rookie year, and it's great to see him finally have a true breakthrough game. He has flashed real elite talent in the pass rush all year, and really impressed with his devotion and productivity setting the edge. Jaelan Phillips was a great pick and a fantastic cornerstone for this defense to build around.

Nice to see Jevon Holland flash. Hopefully he can become more consistent, but things are looking good for him as a rookie. Xavien Howard continues to show why he's special .... even when the entire league is afraid to throw at him. And yes, Waddle looks like a solid pick as well. Good to see we used his speed this game. I'm still not a fan of running so many bubble screens and dink/dunk type plays to him though. He can stretch the field .... let him do that more often.

Coach Flo is a good defensive coach ... but I really wonder about his ability to be a Head Coach. If we could play this well every week, and get a full schedule of Carolinas ..... things just might work out for us.
I felt it was a solid performance by the entire team.

The offensive line played much better than earlier this year.
Tua was actually "magnificent".
Kudos to all the receivers.
The running backs ran hard and as well as opportunity allowed.
The running backs are also pretty good receivers.
The defense surpassed it previous level of excellent play.
Special teams made me laugh when they blocked a punt, recovered that punt and ran it in for a TD.
This was after the kicking team put the panthers back against the goal and the defense kept them there for a 3 & out series leading to the blocked punt.
That play made me laugh out loud.

I'm sure coaching also had something to do with the win. - LOL
 

"The Cam Newton honeymoon ended in a disastrous fashion. The QB was brutal in his second start for the Panthers. Newton completed a woeful 5-of-21 passing (23.8%) for 92 yards with two interceptions for a 5.8 passer rating. Of Newton's 92 yards, 64 came on one completion to D.J. Moore early in the game."

"Newton's 5-of-21 passing (23.8%) is the lowest by a QB with 20-plus attempts in a game since Joey Harrington went 5 of 22 (22.7%) for DET in Week 14, 2004."
