I feel like a lot of used motor oil is being served up in beer steins.  

Predictions like that make me wonder why those same people even watch the games. 

 I'm not sure at this point, how quickly our oline will gel. I don't feel our line will be as bad as many fear.   I do expect a slow start to the season for the offense.  Luckily our schedule is soft for the first month.  

Keep the turn overs yo a mim, and I feel we'll win those games. Going into October, our oline should be playing as a unit, and our football team.should be playing strong complimentary football.  Much like 2003, we'll win the games we should, and we're going to take a few we shouldn't.  

Winning enough to secure ticket to post season football!!

We have a lot of young talent on this team, should be a fun season to watch them grow together.

Avast, mateys.  Another crewman for the Good Ship Homer.

This is a fan site.  We have not even played 1 game yet.  The roster is vastly improved over last year.  What do you get out of being a downer before we've even set foot on the field when it matters? Everyone should be optimistic at this point.

Since bigdavis likes to imitate a Pirate so much, perhaps he'd be interested in being thrown in the brig before being forced to walk the plank? 🤨

I feel like 8 wins should be our floor. Especially starting off against the Jets and Texans. We should get an early jump. 

We lost 8 games by one possession or less last year. Put into context, we did that with this reality:

- New coach, scheme, and all issues tied to COVID

- Bridgewater was not making deep throws

- No CMC for most of the year

- No TE production for the majority of the year

- Very poor play in the redzone

- Slye on FGs

- Defense could not execute on 3rd down to save their life

- Defense could not stop the run

- Raw rookies starting in the secondary

We have made strides in each of these areas. Second year with coach and scheme, had training camp and preseason, got Darnold, CMC back, brought in TEs (which will also help in redzone), new kicker, possible emergence of Carter and Luvu, new defensive lineman and pass rushers, and improved CBs.

Yes.  We are MUCHHHHHHH further along now than at this time last year.  We should be vastly improved in almost all areas of the game.  I just cannot see another middling, 5 win season.  I honestly think we will do serious work this year and be in the run for a playoff spot.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
