All is well till one bad preseason showing, although this game was awful, its still preseason. Alot can change in the next two weeks and alot of you seem to forget some of the factual info about tonights game. Let me share my observations:

1. Luke played very few snaps, and ben jacobs just doesn't play like luke.

2. We talk about Oline play, Trai was out this game and i believe that makes a difference in the run game.

3. Cam is still shaking the rust off and seemed to me on a few of the third downs we did not convert in the regular season cam makes guys miss and converts. He is building charisma with this receiving core so he sat in the pocket longer.

4. Charles Johnson didn't play a snap, and hardy was limited. With those guys not on the field our defense is no where near the same. I can say confidently that CJ and Hardy both playing all four quarters are coming out with at least 4 sacks.

5. All this talk about shula this shula that, ITS PRESEASON why would he utilize the whole playbook. Anybody else recognize that we were 5 for 5 up until this game in redzone scoring.

6. How many third down stops were nullified by a bogus penalty that wont be called in the regular season, the refs admitted when preseason began that more flags will be thrown in order to show where they plan to enforce more strictly. Not to mention the players and coaches will pick up on these flags and will be more disciplined when then reg season begins.

7. And the obvious, it was a short week and NE had more time to prepare.

There are a few more things i could state and point out that were positive from this game though admittedly this game was not pretty. But any fair weather fan could point out how pitiful it was but the true fans regardless of the outcome try to

Point out the bright spots and realize that this game doesn't mean poo. No reason to panic, i trust in this team and the staff and there is no doubt in my mind we will field a competitive team with a strong D and a chain moving offense. Besides games such as these are far easier to learn from than a W. Keep your head up Huddlers the sky isn't falling. You have freedom to pout if we have a showing like this in the regular season. Take this one with a grain of salt.

Goodell wants to change it from the AFC Championship Game to the AFC Patriot Game cause we're there every year.

Who do you think will play the Patriots in the AFC Patriot Game this year?

Whoever does should have a nice smooth ride to the superbowl, seeing that they have chocked so much in the championship game the past 10 years

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
