Buffalo to rest most starters (including Allen) vs Carolina in Preseason finale

The way Rhule decided to handle the preseason is frustrating to me and probably a lot of fans.     We (and his staff) won't get the chance of watching starters v starters in a preseason game environment.    If our starters struggle vs Buf backups, expect a poo storm in the media for 2 weeks.     This is the worst case scenario (outside of an injury).

 

I was really hoping to get a chance to evaluate our team against one of the best starting offensive/defensive units in the league.  

 

End rant.

Ya'll have your fun all the way up to the Baker, Baker, Baker Bowl ya hear!?

Matt Corral wasn't Kenny Pickett therefore of no immediate value. I'm going to watch the defense this year. Bathroom breaks and snack breaks in offense.

When a team REFUSES to develop a rookie QB (on the field) it makes everything less exciting.

Yay! Teddy/Sam/Baker, Baker, Baker

His record and current trajectory are silly. Have you been watching this man the last 2+ seasons?! From disaster to what? Mediocre? We'd oddly and slummingly will accept mediocre right now because it's good o'l Matt Rhule?! C'mon man! Just a estimate but I would not be surprised if 80% of teams would have escorted this dude and his belongings out already. He's rich. He'll be fine.

For all that $$$$$$$ he provides little value if you then have to get rid of guys and hire shadow HCs.

Should have gave Jim Harbaugh(.695 NFL win percentage) that $$$$, more even, now having learned not to hire college coaches without NFL HC experience.

Well, I am not sure it was the right decision, but then I think it really doesn't matter that much.  Fans complained last year about the snaps that the qb's were getting, and yet Darnold actually looked decent in the first few games but got worse as the season went on.  In reality, those snaps, or lack thereof, made little or no difference to last year's outcome.

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
