The Real Problem With Today's Game

[RumHam]

Why does the NFL hate us so much? Why are we scheduled (on top of playing last Wednesday, seriously WTF?) to play a game in August, in Nashville, on a Saturday, at 3 fuging PM? Who did this? 100 degree humid weather and you could clearly tell the players didn't want a part of it. While the tackling was atrocious, it just wasn't happening today. 3:00 is like the hottest part of the day, and they even practiced in the mornings.

Did Tennessee play in the same game as us?  The weather was no excuse for our play.  We are not a dome team anyway, there are going to be hot days in September.  

One team looked ready to play.  One team didn't.  Good learning experience in my opinion. Backed up what Rivera said earlier in the week about offense not looking sharp or ready to play.

The issue is our starting formation trots KB, Funch, Stewart, and Dickson out onto the field all at the same time....that has to be the slowest offensive package in the league.

The offense was fine against a better Texans defense. The OLine play is amazing, however, might be the best we've ever had. So basically Shula Shulaing again right?

I'm pretty impressed someone was able to turn today's happenings into a "the NFL must hate us" thread

I'm open to cut Funchess. If Samuel don't do something, we're really going to miss Ginn and his drops. Shepard is a joke from what i've seen so far.

I would say it was because we played our backup QB. But when they played theirs, our starting defense still looked poopy.

Its preseason. Who cares

They've been practicing for weeks in worse conditions in Spartanburg

The NFL also hates Green Bay. Making them play in winter in ice cold Wisconsin!

Our team wanted it, so we didn't get back to CLT too late and so it didn't interrupt our schedule going forward.

It's done because Mularkey likes one preseason game to be in the heat so the players can, you know, get acclimated to what it's like playing in September at 1p. The game actually started st 2p not 3p. So it's a benefit to the Panthers and their preseason training. The first game was scheduled for Wednesday because the PGA was in Charlotte.

Who's decision was it for us to the play the JAGUARS our 3rd preseason game? As if that's a good indication of where our team is at. We should be playing the Ravens or Patriots or some team like that

This was not a well thought out thread. 

Preseason peeps. 

Let it go.
