What would you guys like to see from our team during the Bills game?

No sacks & lots of take aways are definitely to be desired!

As for evaluating DE, with CJ not playing, I'm wondering whether the evalution will be accurate?  In any case it means the other DEs will get LOTS of reps.

DE will definitely another interesting area to watch.

Reading this thread I find myself suddenly thinking of the song "I dreamed a dream" from Les Miserables...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living...

These are very nice dreams!  Hopefully at least a few of them are based in reality and will come true.

Improvement in Shula - better play calling, better use of players and setting them up for success, elevating the offense to the next level.

You wont see that in Preseason from any coach.  Play calling is and should be relatively bland, especially in the first game. If the offensive philosophy changes, we won't see it until the real games begin.

That our Oline is actually pretty good, they've just seemed bad because our defense is about to take over Top D of All Time. 

I do wonder what the fan reaction to Oher will be.  So many here have negative opinions of him, that he might be the most watched player on the field who is not a Quarterback.  I am not sure if he will get a fair shake, regardless of how he plays.

Agreed. I have my doubts mind you, but it would be nice to find out our D is the 2.0 version ofthe '77 Falcons & Oher is aactually  doing better than anyone could a QB killing machine led by a ninja cyborg assassin.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
