It's Preseason

ON another side note...Ginn needs to go shopping for some new hands. 

This.  The most frustrating part of this game has been Ginn's 3 drops and Bersin's drop.

the 2015 dress rehearsal against the pats was the philly brown dropfest in case anyone remembers

What the hell? Why isn't the Huddle having a meltdown yet? I am highly disappointed in my lack of entertainment.

If Cam played preseason football in his mid-season form, that's when we panic. This is typical Cam. He's playing with a vanilla game plan. Preseason Cam will be preseason Cam.

the whole belicheat "this is not a dress rehearsal" and ron agreeing with him was a major smoke screen. Obviously Billy butt cheat meticulously game planned for this one b/c he knows the patriots will be an afterthought this season and there's absolutely no way the PATS play the Panthers again this season (ala superbowl).

I aint even tripping. Fu.ck the pats, and fu.ck the preseason. 

I hope you're kidding. They know Cam isn't going to run so they don't need a spy, they don't need to run any contain on the line and our receivers can't break basic man coverage. This isn't game planning, it's common sense. 

If this were a regular season game and the Pats were running the defense they are now Cam would've had at least 60 yards rushing in the first half on scrambles alone. 

Side note: There have been four drops.

Again, Panther fans waiting for this offense to lead the way will be sorely mistaken and frustrated. This team in the Ron-Cam era is built, led, and constructed around the DEFENSE. There is a reason why Newton won the MVP award last year: he was surrounded with about the 25th ranked offense based on talent alone and managed to get that to the No. 1 scoring unit in the NFL. Kinda like he led a bunch of sub-talented Auburn Tigers offensive unit through the SEC and a national championship.

Since Newton has been in Carolina, we have drafted exactly ONE player on offense in the first round. This is Newton's sixth year. Not one WR or Oline man, or RB...ONE OFFENSIVE PLAYER. PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION. I think we have drafted 2 offensive players in the Second round in that time frame. The Jaguars attempted to give Blake Bortles more talent in his rookie draft than the Panthers have Newton in Six seasons.

And keep in mind that Newton came into the WORST offense of all time.

Days like this WILL happen when you insist on building your team with the offensive unit as an afterthought. The only reason why this offense doesn't have more days like this is the sheer greatness of Newton and Greg Olsen.

Again, this team will go as far as this defense takes us. The offense's job is to literally stay out of their way.

Yea everyone needs to chill the fug out no olsen, no threat of cam running, no blitz packages, vanilla offense, vanilla defense 

R-E-L-A-X

this times 100.  cam looked pedestrian tonight; not gonna trip about it.  usually when the pass game is puttering cam does something with his legs that helps swing momentum.  not gonna happen in pre-season vanilla offense.  defense probably isn't even really playing him to run. 

the first string o-line looked solid in pass protection, but none of the receivers really helped out tonight.  can tell cam is not as confident with his safety valve, olsen, standing on the sidelines.  i'm gonna forget about tonight and i think most fans would do good to do the same.

One thing I'll say, you can tell KB has been out a whole season. It shows. But the rust will come off.

Judging this offense with Greg Olsen on the sidelines and Stewart getting 3 carries is a waste of time.
