Carolina Panthers’ first thoughts versus Patriots

The Carolina Panthers had an interesting beginning to the third preseason game versus the New England Patriots Friday night at Bank of America Stadium. Do we call it Jekyll and Hyde? Well, I do not know if you go that far, but it was interesting. But, it was not necessarily the entire team.

What exactly do I mean?

First off, the defense was terrific. The defense that came out against the defending Super Bowl Champions, New England Patriots, clearly demonstrated why they continue to be ranked with the top defenses in the league as Tom Brady and the Patriots compiled only 42 yards of offense in the first fifteen minutes of the game.
