Everyone needs to relax its the third game of the PRESEASON! I just watched the Lions handle the Colts this morning...does anyone see that happening during the regular season? Just because its a game the coaches prepare for its still a glorified practice, and it still doesnt count. Last year we kicked the crap out of Washington, imagine if you were a Redskins fan, you probably thought your season was over. Well they actually started the season pretty hot, and faded towards the end..The preseason has no bearing on how you start the season..believe me, we may not be as good as we all thought, but we are def. NOT as bad as we all think! Now take a deep breath, and just remember if we beat Philly week 1, all 4 of these games disappear from our minds..its that simple..

Peppers said last week it is a practice session. They just happen to keep score. My numbers say he's averaging $1.5MIL for his two tackles this year. I guess we could give him partial credit for the jumping jack last night.

Bla bla bla its a game. You don't do anything not caring if you lose or not. You play to win the game, you play the next game not only to win the game, but to correct what you did wrong last game. Delhomme has not been impressive at all this preseason. He had one decent game, the second. Tell the Ravens its just a game, saying its just a game is a cop out for loosers. Our starting QB play is avg at best, both bck ups are about equal, our defensive line allows too many runs up the middle, we need a big experenced DT to plug the middle. Our DB's still playing soft coverage, not breaking on the ball till the catch has been made. Nothing has changed, nothing!

Don't mean to rain on your party but players don't get paid for preseason games. Sure they get paid a ton and he is getting 16 million but when they calculate his salary it includes regular season games not preseason.

I realize it is somewhat moot since 16 million over 16 games versus 20 games still pays him a ton but just sayin.................

Hey dude the party includes everything; practice, meetings, film study, teamwork, showing up on time, off field life and preseason, EVERYTHING.

many starters just see these games as live simulated reps..they know they can't play the whole game so the w/l doesn't matter to them but how their reps went..

The preseason is seeing what individuals might be good enough for the team..not what team is better then the other.

That's what makes me worried not only is the team as a whole not doing well, but on D the whole secondary has looked like its forgotten how to tackle. I have never seen a more disgraceful performance by a secondary in my life. Giving up huge plays in the air. Giving them up on the ground. And that's all individual sucking not just as a team.

    • Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though. 
    • 13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
    • Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
