Let's also set the expectation that it's going to be really really bad football.

Week 1 is typically sloppy anyway, but with no preseason it's probably gonna be a whole new level of ugly.

I won't even talk about the officiating.

If the Chiefs and Texans are bad, I shudder to think what the Panthers will be. 

 

Yikes.

well, college football pulls it off pretty consistently.  Not sure why the NFL can't function without preseason games.

College football isn't pro level.

And as mentioned, even with preseason games, Week 1 pro football is frequently sloppy as hell.

Throw in that the roster decisions will have been made without benefit of seeing guys in actual game situations, so there will likely be at least a few guys on every roster who probably shouldn't be there.

What do you mean let’s set, I was already set for some really bad football early this season since January 7th. Anything better than really bad football will be a pleasant surprise.

If there’s one good thing out of this whole situation. There is absolutely zero tape on the “new” panthers. So any really bad football can’t be blamed on the coaches. It’s all on the GM/Players until there’s tape out. 
 

That is unless the entire scheme is dogshit and we get trounced. Which when you think about game 1-3/4 is basically going to be preseason except for really well built teams coming out of last year without much turnover who will have a huge leg up on the rest of the competition this year.

bad could be fun.  Could end up looking like the first couple of weeks of 2011 where two games each had a 1000 yards of passing and Tom Brady had almost 1000 yards after two weeks.  

And bad football is still better than no football.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
