Does anybody remember last year ~ Week 1

Everybody was expecting the chargers to be elite instead of stumbiling through the season the way they did early on.

I certainly wasn't expecting to put up 150 rushing yards on them. That's really what suprised me. Even though it was early that confirmed the gaudy preseason numbers we had.

This year all I'm scared of is Andy Reid, he gets his teams ready for the season. They'll destroy us if we don't bring our A+ game.

If we're firing on all cylinders we should win, the eagles have been delt worse cards than we have in the offseason. We should be able to pull it out.

I thought we where a much more confident, unified team at the beginning of last season. Seriously thought we would win that game even though the typically Panther ignorant media didn't. But! I have my homerism in full effect for this week 1 too!

The hunger and the way we ended the previous year unified our young team. I KNEW in training camp last year we was going to do something. I KNEW we was going to win in week 1. Last year all the games we coulda lost, but hung on or fought back showed the confidence in our players. Too bad the things that needed to be fixed, never got fixed

This year its a little different. Too many injuries and not being on the same page because of that. One thing I can say is that atleast our D got whooped in preseason because it made them realize they have to get better and play harder come season time. Maybe it put some things in perspective for our coaching staff. We may start off slow, hopefully we then pick it up

this is a great question because I had no real bead on the upcoming season.

DeA's first full season as THE guy. Rookie tackle with Otah. Wharton coming back from injury.

Moose coming back. Stewart a rookie.

SD was loaded minus Merriman?

Oh and some dude named Steve Smith was OUT after some camp drama.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
