Did anyone expect this good of a start to the season? It's still a great start for a team that is still in the process of rebuilding.

We came in without CMC and Jaycee Horn, and still tried keeping it competitive at the end despite the daunting lead the Cowboys led up.

Do we have issues? Yes, the Oline is abysmal and our defense had a wakeup call. 

But it was unrealistic to consider this young team a 17-0 juggernaut this season. We went up against a legitimate Cowboys team and the refs calling everything in their favor. It happens.

This loss sucks, but we have a lot to look forward to. Promising talent, Sam Darnold showing might, and we have a manageable schedule ahead.

Kick off the dirt, put your heads up, and let's move on to the next game and show we can improve from this.

Team showed a lot of fight. Dallas was given a free touchdown in the first half that ended up being the difference. Obviously we are terrible on o-line and d-line got murdered today. However I’ll take 3-1 at this point.

A lot of things didn't go our way. A bad call to try a FG when we should've punted was also an arguably bigger deal as well. Gave easy field position for the Cowboys.

We got 13 games ahead this season to prove we can get past this. I'm optimistic that this is just a small bump in the road for us that we will learn from, and anything to help a young team like this learn and improve is valuable.

We may not be the best of the NFC yet, but we are showing we have the potential for it. Just a matter of time, building up this team bit by bit, and learning from mistakes.

The game changed after one call. We had most of the momentum. We have to learn from this but in hindsight that bad call by the refs ruined the game for us. 

Yeah that forward movement call....ughh....wish the NFL did not have announcers BALLS...b/c they would've called out the REFS way much more

My concern is that we didn't look like we belonged on the field with them until they bafflingly went prevent and rested their best DB late.

First half we certainly looked competitive. Had a pathetic ref call gone our way it may have been a widely different score the first half.

Just a matter of learning and getting better from this. Mistakes and turnovers we made were easy fuel for the high powered Dallas offense. 

They have capitalized on turnovers all season thus far and this game is no different.

I think we looked like the better team at the half. 3rd Quarter was ugly.. I think they dialed up the pressure and all our WR routes were taking wayy to long to develop. I think we've proven that we are legit. Couple O-line pieces away from being real contenders.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
