"Calm down, It was just the Cardinals"

True.

But good teams thump bad teams, even on the road. The Panthers thumped the Cardinals good yesterday. It wasn't a nail biter.

That there was a solid victory all around. Gives me hope.

AND, the final score is not indicative of how badly we could have beaten them if we hadn't decided to milk the clock and play defense for virtually the entire fourth quarter.

They might have the worst defense in the league. They had the number one pick. The cardinals are a very bad football team 

Yes, and the Panthers beat them badly. 

How often do we do that to bad football teams?

This season mirrors the 2012 season in a few ways.  One of our early dominating victories was against a weak Vikings team, if I recall correctly.  The narrative quickly became (as it should have) that good teams beat the dog poo out of bad teams.

Grain of salt taken but it was "just the Bucs" too.

Don't sleep on the Bucs. They have a very good offense.

Its like I am taking crazy pills. People were more excited about a last second field goal win at home against a horrible giants team last year.

Known quantity vs unknown...

We still don't really know how good Allen is. He could turn out to be Tom Brady or he could turn out to be Matt Flynn. Either way, we won't truly know for a while.

And yeah, there's agendas. You've got people who want Newton to fail and people who want Allen to fail. That's sad, but it's reality.

Personally, I just want to watch my team win.

I'm not crowning the guy after one game is all I'm saying. We get a repeat performance against a good team like the Texans and I'll be convinced. This forum loves knee jerk reactions. I'll take it with a grain of salt. We got an injured QB1. Relax.

Here Here. I want the Panthers to win more than I want any player to succeed. I love Cam, but Allen was amazing yesterday. It’s all about who gives the team a better chance to win. For now, it’s without a doubt Kyle Allen.

I know 2 things. 

1. IT was good to see the ball placed where it should be placed (in tight windows and in stride), and 2.  It was good to not feel like I need to poo my pants during the game. fug, I'll just take a WIN. A MOTHER fuging WIN!

Right.  How enjoyable was it to see balls in which the receivers could catch it in stride.  Makes all the difference.

Agree completely.

Allen gives me hope. I saw a sparkle before RR pulled him out to put in Heinicke with a busted arm. Dumb. I saw dominance against the Saints. Was it a fluke? Then I saw greatness against AZ. Another fluke? We shall see.
