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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
