Not that the Panthers have a very good passing attack but our massively injured cornerback squad performed well.

Joedein Mixon is the man
Zac handed out the coach's balls to Joe, Bates, and Pratt. Bates and Pratt because of their turnovers. Mixon cause it was a no brainer
Winning makes believers of us all
They didn't win and we don't beleive

Also Trent Taylor is what you really like in a 6th receiver. Good special teams and he’s not too bad as a possession receiver when needed.

Mixon of course
That said. I’m a big fan of Trent’s shift wheels and Hurst’s hands.

I was gonna say Mixon is the only answer. Glad they got Mixon and the run game going. Now a nice bye week to continue to get healthy. Really surprised the defense held up as well as it did. Still a little surprised as much of a lopsided game as it was we didn't get Evans some carries but you can't complain about the outcome.
Also not disputing how effective play action is with or without a solid run game but it was working today.

Also I just remembered seeing Mixon on the sideline on Monday and it looked like the loss and the state of the running game was hitting him especially hard. Glad to see this for him as he has always had a positive team attitude.

Mixon, I have to admit I was wrong when I said Mixon was washed up and I am happy to be wrong about it.
He was seeing the holes today and ran like a mean sumbitch. This is what we needed to see from our Offense, if we
can run the ball like this in the cold months we will be VERY hard to beat in the Playoffs with Burrow and this Defense
that shown it has depth. Once again Lou's guys stepped up with starters out.
Kind of out of nowhere game once again. Hard to figure this team out, I just think the Browns match up well against
us and everything seems to go wrong for our Offense when we play them for some reason. We have a dangerous team
especially if Mixon shows like he did today. Going to watch the game now on Gamepass, only saw the highlights.
Those are some insane numbers from Joe.

Let's hope this is the springboard that gets Mixon going.

Yeah I've been down on the coaching but I'll happily eat crow if they serve it up.

Chris Evans got hurt? I didn't notice. On an early kickoff?

Same here, love eating crow when I am wrong and the coaches or players that I have been hating on prove me wrong.

Obviously Mixon and my fantasy team thanks him for his performance
