I realize that football season is among us, and we're all excited, but can't we wait until at least the third pre-season game before we start making rash judgments about the team, specific players and coaching?

It's too early to be hot and bothered, people. This is what pre-season is all about, and especially the first game.

I saw plenty of intensity last night. I did see some missed tackles which is easy to address and some missed assignments which is to be expected in a newish defense during the first live practice against outside competition.

We were down a few weapons on both sides, some people were playing a little out of position along the d-line, and the game does not matter anyway.

Bad throws are always going to be a part of our offense.

My point is is that when we come out like gangbusters against the Dolphins, then the world will be full of roses.

Furthermore, that Giants game was just a wetting of the feet. We will have a more accurate gauge when the Panthers face Miami, Baltimore and Blitzburgh, all teams that in theory are dedicated to the run just as much as the Giants.

Not to mention testing our offense vs their defenses.

Weren't the Giants just getting their feet wet too? The Pittsburgh game will be the least indicator where we are at, our starters will only play one series, if that. It will be more an indicator who makes the team and of our depth.

Regardless, their D-line seemed overwhelming on pass plays, and it took a few great plays by D-Will and Goodson not to take losses.

What we saw is what we've seen for the last several years. A good running offense, a predictable passing offense, a soft D that gets a team in to 3rd and long and then gives up long + 3 (how many times did you count our 'lock down corner' reaching out in desperation as his man catches a long pass and then running for another 10yds?), mediocre return game and great punting. That's Panther football. Good for middle of the road every year...

So I guess that 12-4 and tied for the best record in the NFC is your idea of "Middle of the road".

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
