Difference, better coaching and Talent with 2017 even though it did not show yesterday. Panthers much better team than us. I do like Kyle going for it on 4th down, will learn to call better plays in those situations.
Kyle going for it on those 4th downs told the offense he had confidence in them. Maybe shanny was playing a psychology game with them but some of the offensive guys said after the game that they appreciated that.
Maybe there's more to this game 1 than we're looking at.
That is what I thought he was doing. He knows he had nothing to lose by trying, and it shows he believes in his players. The other thing that will carry weight w the players is when he lost his cool at the refs for missing his TO call.
There's a lot of negative to take from that game, but what we should be looking for at this point are flashes of what to expect. This team is going to look completely different by the last four games of the season.
