We can beat Buffalo and Atlanta can't.  Its the way of the NFL, and why I love it, except when my team is involved. 

Every team is flawed, every game comes down to whether you can exploit those flaws.  Glad they found a way to win this week.

I couldn't believe they were playing for such long fg range, but Gano hit it unlike last year week one. Good job making up for the missed fg. 

I think the objective was to run the clock down to ensure that Brady doesn't have a shot to win it at the end.  Not saying I agree, but I assume that was the thought process.

God you are negative. 

Don't confuse being realistic with negativity.

It was, but the last two QB sneaks just ... frustrated me.  They aren't going to net you any positive yards.  At least Stew has a shot at positive gains.

What a bush league hand shake by Bill Belichick. The man beat you fair and square, give him a little respect.

Now NE can take their aggression out on Tampa next week!

Oh yea definitely. And I agree with it. But it was just plain runs up the middle. Would have liked something different.

....soo... we swapped the NO win with the NE win...

Hell yes!

Positioning the ball for Gano.  Once again, not saying I agree, but its something NFL coaches have been doing for years.

Blind Squirrel = Gano

You mean the guy who hasn't missed a fg all year? Yeah he missed the PAT, but he came through when it mattered the most

Exactly....either we win it with a long FG or we go to OT

Don't care that it took a last second field goal, that is a win that can help define the season.  That is the kind of game that they would have won in 2015 and lost in 2016.  Damn good win.

Best quote so far!!.....And sooo true. Panthers still have work to do, but today could be a huge confidence builder for this offense. Very hard place to win a football game. And despite shooting ourselves in the foot against a team you almost have to play perfect against, Panthers found a way to get it done. In Foxboro it doesn't have to be pretty....You get out of there with a win, that's something huge for your team!!.....Awesome job of finding their hearts this week.!!!

Oh I'm fully aware you have no concept of that exact thing. We won. Quit being a whiner. Ok?
