Some impressions I took from the game-
Positives
Cam Newton- Played very well, I think. The Dolphins defense wasn't great (they got no pressure upfront and left some gaping holes in the secondary), but Cam took advantage of what he was given and moved the ball well down the field.
Panthers defense- This was just a preseason game, so excuse me if I seem a little over enthusiastic, but the defense looked good. They were consistently getting pressure on Tannehill and were pretty good against the run too. Luke Kuechly was the standout man for me, he was strong in pursuit and was able to stop a good number of plays on the night. The secondary was decent, but their job was made much easier by how well the d-line played.
Negatives
Ryan Tannehill's Offensive Line- When you have a rookie QB behind you, your job as an offensive lineman is to do your best to make sure he's comfortable in the pocket. The Dolphins' o-line didn't do that tonight. They were beaten (badly) by simple four man rushes time after time and never gave Tannehill the time to operate in the pocket. They also didn't get much push, so the rushing game never was able to get off the ground.
Ryan Tannehill-When you spend at least 75% of your time in the game firmly planted on your ass, it's got to be a bad game as a QB. Granted, it wasn't his fault that his offensive line never left Miami, but still. I think Tannehill has all the tools to be a good QB, but this wasn't a night to remember for him.
Replacement Refs-Ugh. The refs were...terrible as always. Bullshit holding penalties all over the place (no, refs, good block does not equal holding) and at times the refs looked like chickens with their heads cut off. Some of the guys behind me were joking that they let the first ten fans in the stadium call the game. Based off of those calls, it wouldn't surprise me.

He's Al Davis' man crush, reincarnation of Cliff Branch since he runs a 4.28 40
I've always liked Ford, as much as a Bronco fan can anyways.

mcfadden could've easily gotten his 2nd foot in
Yeah, tear a hammy. Why not just throw the ball right instead?

Panthers fans will J stew be a viable fantasy option? Or should I just leave that whole situation alone? In a 16 person league lol
Grover, I'm on a bus and just following using the Panthers' official app, but two other areas of concern seem to be we couldn't get off the field on 3rd and long (gave up a 3rd and 9 and two 3rd and 10s against Tannehill) and looks like we're not doing so hot on 3rd down (3-9). I won't address penalties as I'm assuming the replacement refs are straight garbage.

all jokes aside wtf is wrong with kolb? it seems like he has no concept of progressions through his receivers. i feel like even if you gave kolb 5 seconds on every drop back he wouldn't really be any better.
i was going to post that i hope the cards start kolb but honestly skelton isn't much better. sure, he is better, but he is still mediocre

Just the DL. The CBs and LBs suck. If they were running more, the Cards would be doing a lot better. Dunno why they abandoned it. Probably want to see Kolb get a concussion.
gif please

I've seen underhand throws with more power than Kellen Moore's regular throw
Vince Young is going to make the Bills.
This team is a bit of a disaster right now, more than a bit actually. Top 5 pick is my prediction right now.
Chan's a good man, but he can't play the way he wants to. You just don't have the talent. So keep spreading and going 5 wide, and watch your QB get fucking destroyed week after week. There's only one receiver on this roster that can beat press repeatedly.
If I was coaching this team I would blow my brains out. Good interior line, really young at tackle. One accomplished receiver and a decent TE, good backs that won't be used enough because there's this new rule about passing at least 40 times a game.

Well, our defense looked better tonight. That's a good thing.
Raiders front starting 4 is top 5, no joke.
That boy's scared. LOL.
Looks like Tecmo Bowl.
You know Palmer so far since Gannon has been the only QB that the Raiders had so far that can read defenses and audible out of. Is he as good as Gannon at it, obviously not, Gannon was almost Peypey like at audibling.
Collins and Grabowski did it. It's just been a long time with JaMarcus and Campbell.
[edit] Oh, you mean doing it well. I'd argue Palmer doesn't do it well either.
He's no Jett Jackson that's for sure
A friend of mine in college took a class on video games with Jett Jackson.
Matt Barkley Raiders jerseys would be pretty good for sales.
