The Panthers are a solid football team, especially defensively. I expect heavy pressure from Julius Peppers, and sound tackling all around. I doubt this will be a big Yards-After-Catch day, rather I expect some dinking and dunking by Kings to move us down the field.
The Carolina offense hasn't blown the roof off anybody, and that serves well for me. I am murder against the run, so Jake Delhomme will have to beat me. He has Steve Smith, but I have Austin Ryan.
What will give?
Note: I am wearing the cool 'Black on Silver' jerseys today. They are shown below.
First Quarter Report
Scoring Summaries
-Richard Marshall (Panthers) 42 Yard Fumble Return for Touchdown (0-7)
-Roy Williams, 1 Yard TD Pass from Jacen Kings (7-7)
-Calvin Johnson, 10 Yard TD Pass from Jacen Kings (14-7)
Dante Hall thought that two big Carolina linebackers bearing down on him wasn't a good enough reason to call Fair Catch. Ugh. The things these players do.
Kings has been Kings; a little wild, a little crazy, and plenty productive. He's working a perfect passer rating through one quarter. Austin Ryan has two sacks and a couple TFLs. Typical.
The Panther defense hasn't been intimidating at all. My offense is having it's way with them.
Second Quarter Report
Scoring Summaries
-Calvin Johnson, 84 Yard TD Pass from Jacen Kings (21-7)
-Austin Ryan 65 Yard Interception Return for Touchdown (28-7)
-Fernando Bryant 33 Yard Interception Return for Touchdown (35-7)
Kings won't be posting any perfect QB ratings today. He threw a wobbly and bad idea of a pass towards CJ that was picked off, right before Ryan picked him up with a PickSix. Four Carolina plays later, Bryant hopped in front of a lob to Steve Smith and returned it to the house.
My defense has been stellar; the Panthers have only gained 63 yards. Their rushing game has been much better than expected, giving me fits for the majority of the second quarter. DeAngelo Williams has faked out Ryan, Boss Bailey and Ernie Sims. That sort of thing doesn't happen everyday.
Being up 35-7 at half is a good feeling. Kings has been fine, aside from the pick, and CJ is really outclassing Steve Smith.
Third Quarter Report
Scoring Summaries
-Jacen Kings 8 Yard Touchdown Run (42-7)
-Deylon McCutcheon 82 Yard Interception Return for Touchdown (49-7)
-Mike Furrey, 25 Yard Touchdown Pass from Jacen Kings (56-7)
Beat-down. Absolutely blowing them away. Their offensive line is absymal, so I'm getting ruthless pressure and many, many sacks on Delhomme. Plus, they have a crappy secondary, so Kings is slicing them apart.
This might be a 70 point explosion.
Fourth Quarter Report
Scoring Summaries
-Mike Furrey 69 Yard TD Pass from Jacen Kings (63-7)
-Tatum Bell 60 Yard TD Pass from Jacen Kings (70-7)
They were never it, not from the start. The Panthers got obliterated today. I had simply more talent and executed much better than they did, and that's why I not only won, but I dominated.
