They should just start the regular season whenever the first preseason game is normally played. That would make room for more bye weeks and give extra wiggle room in case they need to pause the season.

Imagine the Panthers playing in a totally new offense and defense after only 2 weeks of training camp.

 

Talk about a poo show.

I'm sure the fans will understand. 

If nothing else, it gives us the perfect excuse while tanking for Trevor or Fields.

I kind of like this idea.

Works for me. I don't see the season being completed and it will take us some time to gel. We'll be taking those L's proper. No preseason and an abbreviated season = big time inside track to the #1 overall pick IMO.

What really would suck? NFL plays and college doesn’t.  We secure a top 3 pick...

then Fields and Trevor stay to play in college and don’t come out since they didn’t get to play

Oh wee mayne. I just can't see it happening though. They'd be draft eligible since they'd be three years removed from their HS class graduating. They're not required to complete three years of college competition, just be three years removed from graduating HS.

just saying....how many first round caliber players at Clemson have stayed at Clemson in recent years under Dabo?  Several.   Clemson DL stayed to win a natty.  Etienne went back this year.   They didn’t stay to improve their stock. 

Everyone isn’t in a rush to grow up when they know they got the talent and don’t have  a family that is dependent on them getting that NFL check immediately.

I meant I *can't see them BOTH doing it. One or the other going back makes the other a near slam dunk as the #1 overall pick.

Let’s look at the glass being half full.......

With one game, both the offense and defense will be entirely vanilla.  The first few teams will have 0 film on any defensive schemes or offensive plays.  Advantage Panthers.

A major reason for preseason games is to get a look at rookies.  With only practice and one preseason game some will get cut who will eventually be good players.  With Rhule’s recent college knowledge and the team going younger, they can afford  to churn the bottom of the roster and take chances others may not want to.  Advantage Panthers.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
