Another scrappy game from our underdogs. Culley understandably called a conservative game with the rookie qb’s first start and all the injuries on a short week but there’s going to come a time this season when he’s going to have to go for it on 4th down and take more risks in general. But for now this style keeps the game competitive as long as Texans win the turnover battle. No turnovers for either team tonight and the defense spent way too much time on the field.

Any other refs would have blown the whistle to stop the play long before had had the prolonged push.

He has shown some promise. However, I am looking forward to when TT returns.

That wasn't an "incomplete pass."

Frustrating. Could be 3-0.

Kelly needs to get it together we need that BOB late td that makes the game look closer than it really was.

As many hits that he's taken, he has still maintained a calm.
Think he'll sustain another 14 games like that?

I’d like to get a look at Scottie Phillips sooner than later. The running game needs a spark. I hope the OL gels sooner than later but I don’t think we are losing anything playing Phillips based on what the other backs brought tonight.
Nope !

It ain’t the backs it’s defenses not believing in the abilities of our qbs in the passing game. I believe.

Teams are going to stack the box until Mills proves he can beat them with the pass.

Running game didn’t exactly wow anybody with 6 quarters of Tyrod playing franchise QB level football either.
If the Panthers D are not that good, what will happen when the Texans play a better one?

right b/c it was the same thing.

The refs screwed the pooch tonight!
After that helmet to helmet hit someone, ANYONE should have been in the refs arse! That was a roughing penalty
Mills would get killed otherwise.
Probably a little of both.

they played the best defense in the league according to the numbers. The Panthers on offense haven’t really been tested & defensively if they blitz a veteran qb like they’ve been doing, they’ll get picked apart.
The only defense left that they have to face that scares me is the Rams. Everyone else has shown vulnerability.

In fairness our O-line did a good job pass blocking last week. The Panthers so far this season have gotten a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks in each of the previous games they have played up to this point. Against lesser defenses our O-line should protect DM much better.

And WRs he is use to throwing to.
We played hard but many of the D players (same thing last week) just ran out of gas. Mills is looking better than Sunday. If he can get a little better weekly he has a legit shot to be good.
Part of this loss was a few no calls. I'm sure I saw a helmet on helmet not called. We all saw a stop on the goal line that was ruled a TD somehow. And a pass interference that wasn't a PI call. Alter the 3 and it could have been either a closer game or perhaps a win

Defense got gassed in the 2nd half. Offensively we were conservative, but I understand why. Mills all things being equal played better than the 2 previous qbs the Panthers faced. And this was on a short week. With more 1st team reps and him getting more comfy with the offense coupled with Kelly opening up the playbook a little more each week, he should be ok.
Before this game start, the line vs. the Bills were 16-1/2.
You don't think the Bills have a better defense?
Or is it that their offense is that much better?

Good thing is Mills has a long week now to learn and prepare for his next start. Interested to see how he develops. He showed good potential tonight.

Nothing that happened in the game tonight changed how I feel about the Texans. I'm still pleasantly surprised with Lovie Smith. I still feel like Mills has a ways to go. I'm not at all happy with Culley's in-game decisions. But, he and the rest of the coaching staff have the guys prepared to play.
They have a blueprint now.
Will he get better after getting the experience?
Our OLine wasn't as explosive as I imagined it would be. Doc was right when he said they had improved. I'd still like to see Heck over there .... Cannon's big belly makes him sluggish I think !

Yeah I think we get rocked against the Bills.
The run of competitive ends I think. Hope not.

their offense is much better, defensively to me they are about the same as Carolina. I’m cringing right now just thinking about Hargreaves covering Diggs.

Man, you ain't lying about that. I thought Lindsay was a good pick up but this dude is garbage so far. 7 carries, 5 yards tonight, 20 carries, 32 yards, 1.6 YPC for the season. Of course the run blocking is atrocious, but still. They were much better than this last year and they were bad last year.
