The 1st Q was important, but when they didn't get any points off the 3Q 1st drive...the frustration started getting to Cam.
Essentially DEN was ready for everything CAR showed on film and for the most part...CAR was ready for everything DEN showed on film...except this time...DEN got up early.
Both defenses definitely were prepared for anything and everything the other had to throw at them. To me I don't think the Broncos were surprised that they were found in another tough grind it out game. I think the Panthers and especially Cam though like you said got frustrated because nobody had done this to him all year. Atlanta I guess you could say in the 1 loss for the year but he was used to having all day to sit back in the pocket and throw and was used to the run game dominating from the very beginning. The Broncos said they had to take the run game away and make Cam beat them through the air. That actually was the question Cam walked out of the interview on was when he was asked about his thoughts on the Broncos saying that they were daring Cam to have to throw because they didn't think he could beat them without the run game.
