"It's only preseason" .... well...

"It's only preseason"

For the most part, I agree. However, when the entire team comes out looking completely unprepared and uninterested in running the plays they rehearsed all week it is a concern. Mainly because the Panthers have looked that exact same way a game or two every season under Rivera, making it a trend. 

My hope here is that they got it out of their system and a good ass chewing after the game when the outcomes don't matter.

The difference in quality  between games 1 and 2 of preseason was so significant, there has to be an explanation.   I hope we get answers.  Did Washington become D coord for a day?   Our OL was the worst part, and that is the area we had to solve in the offseason.  So where does that leave us ?

Weren't there similar hopes like this after the blowout loss to Pittsburgh in primetime last year?

I think it's past time for Ron Rivera's team to cease being on the receiving end of these blowouts for awhile. Especially at home where our record last year wasn't exactly pretty.

When Washington starts calling the plays... The whole D looks lost.  It’s like he speaks different language.

I don’t get why everyone thinks Washington was calling the plays. A) we were playing vanilla gameplan, B) Rivera has a play sheet in his hand, C) sounded like classic Mixon hyperbole, Washington is the coordinator so he has to be calling the D.

This. I don't get why anyone takes anything Mick Mixon says seriously. Dude literally opened last night's broadcast talking about the 2 teams "grinding on each other" during practice this week. He can't look away from Rivera's "ample chest" long enough to actually know what's going on.

One explanation is it was our back ups against their starters during 1st half and we got slaughtered, then second half when their back ups came out it was even.  At least that makes me feel a little better.

It was staters minus Luke/Shaq for the first quarter/a bit of the second quarter.

Week one was our backups against their back ups. Week two was our back ups against their starters. Luke and Cam are the ones energizing our team and helping everyone get in place, take them away plus CMC, Greg and Shaq and this is what you get... Not saying our backups are terrible, they just aren’t ready to go head to head against one another team’s starters (especially one of the top pass defenses in the league).

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
