We are playing the Browns. There is still a chance they give the game away.

What I'm holding on to at this point. If the offense can score a TD on this drive and the defense holds up, then there's a chance to take the lead.

Granted at this point I'm expecting that to happen only for Cleveland to roll downfield and win the game in the final seconds.

In other games, I am begging to wonder if Davis Mills might end being the best qb from last years draft.  And the Colts Matt Ryan looks as bad as he did with the Falcons. The Texans are lighting up the Colts today.

I was saying that before this game and even stated earlier in the day that this game probably and should not be indicative of what either of these teams, or any other teams in the league are going to be by the end of the year. The first week is always at least almost always not clear in who or what they are.

Our last three (HIGH) 1st round picks were Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, and Ickey Ekwonu. All three have looked like straight trash today. 😞

And all three have been coached by a Rhule led team. I am not a high hopes type but I need to see them all with someone competent before I can toss in the towel with any of them.

Usually you keep coaches when they show a little promise. But WTF has Rhule done in the past 3 years that screams "potential". Hell, I'm STILL trying to figure out what he is even good at. Not an offensive or defensive mind. Not a special teams enthusiast. What does this dude even fuggin do?

Cost our owner a lot of money?

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
