Apparently we didn't score more than 19 on the worst team in the league bc we didn't want to show too much on game film this early. Now that's funny right there 🤣

I saw a fumble on what would've likely been a walk in TD and two misfires to open receivers in the end zone. We left 3 TDs on the field. No one would be complaining about scoring 40 and that's what we should've done.

I think it was more of "lets not put anything more than we need to on film"   The game was pretty much in hand or at least it felt like it was.  No need to show any more.

 

My 2cents

I don't think it is that deep. I am sure they have umpteen wrinkles in that offense that we haven't seen yet. If something was needed, they would have used it. 

Each gameplan is tailored for a specific opponent, after all.

They left TD's on the field against us too. Perfect football is about as rare as a black hole popping up in your living room.

I don't think any of us should be overly concerned about the overall offensive output yet. If we are still seeing the same struggles in a few weeks, we have a trend to be concerned about. Same with the red zone struggles. It's a little early to attach that to last season's struggles.....yet.

I don't think "they" did. I think Elijah Moore did. That guy had bricks for hands yesterday.

Some of that is just continuity and building chemistry which is why there was so much talk about fewer preseason reps. But we must trust our younger depth players and keep giving them opportunities if we want to do better than third in the division again. Mix things up and keep defenses honest. It should not take a career day from your rb1 to defeat the Jets by 5 when you have the WR room we are working with.

I definitely agree that the over-reliance on CMC is a concern. Honestly, it's by far my #1 concern from yesterday's game. I'll give Darnold some time to settle into a new offense with new teammates before I hammer him too hard for those types of misses. Yeah, they were misses and it would've come back to bite us against a better team but fortunately we had a warm up game in week one against possibly the worst team in the league.

The score doesn't bother me in the slightest.  I do see individual performance issues that need to be addressed, however.

Keep in mind it's largely a game of matchups.  Some teams just match up better against others (perhaps only in key areas), while still not being the superior team overall.

As you may recall, during the mid-2010s, we seemed to have New England's number--as we beat them several times over the course of that period.  Were we a better team during that time than New England?  Absolutely not.

After a day I'm going to just chuck this up to limited preseason. Not that some of this stuff doesn't concern me but honestly I didn't really think we would win more than 8 games. This game doesn't change my thoughts. Our team and coaching staff is way too young right now. Coupled with a bad offensive line. We are getting there but are not there yet

Shame: Punting from the Jets 33. 

I really didnt have an issue with it. Up to that point the Jets had run 9 plays and including penalties had a net of negative 16 yards and hadnt even made it to their 40 yard line. Why risk an unknown kicker missing and giving the Jets field position they otherwise wouldnt get on their own? When we played the Chiefs last year we saw Rhule pull out every imaginable risk with fake punts and 4th down attempts because he knew we would need to score at least 30 points to win. Yesterday he probably knew 17 should have been enough. We complained that Rivera had no situational awareness and would have the same gameplan and approach for every team we played yet were getting pissed at Rhule for actually understanding the situation?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
