I’ve listen to a ton of nfl/sports podcast and one thing I’ve noticed over the last month is that the preseason performance has completely shifted everyone opinion on us. Guys like Bill Simmons, Cowherd, Simms,  the PFF and bootleg football have all soured on the team. At one point they were all saying we might be sneaky playoff team 2 months ago, now we are giving the bears a top 5 pick and finishing last in the south 

 

Never knew people put that muck stock into preseason

Did any other teams look as bad as we did in the preseason? I guess the Panthers are the only team that doesn’t care about it.

Pay no attention to it.  However, pay attention to the fact that we will be "counting on" 3 rookies on the offensive side of the ball (I am guessing Zavala starts at RG, Young, and Mingo).  On defense, there are a lot of new faces, but we did not see many of the difference makers. 

I think we are better than they think we are but not as good as we think we are.

We have a new staff and a rookie QB. It's all anyone has to go off of right now. Come Sunday we'll have a much better idea of where we currently stand, for better or worse.

The 1st game of the season vs a non contender will tell us were we stand?

 

Im thinking by week 4 we know for sure where we stand as a team. Never judge a team off 1 game.

The HC said he wasn't going to run ANY of the offense or ANY of the real defense. The Panthers open the season with two DIV games so I can see where they would not want to run plays they been working on.

Even on the training camp show they said they wanted to put them in some bad positions so they could try to grow fast so idk... If they look bad in real games then worry but even then all new everything, it will take time.

Do people not care, or not understand? We were told preseason was going to be ugly. Now everyone is freaking out because it was ugly.

 

We showed absolutely nothing in preseason. If you are basing the season off of that? You either have an agenda, or you just plain ignored what we were told.

I can’t let this be the narrative I’m a homer and all but what we saw a lot of missed blocks Oline men getting handled leaving BY no time and WR miscommunications where it seemed like they didn’t know what route to run. That’s not showing nothing that’s not all being on the same page after a full training camp. Definitely could and I’d say will look better with Miles playing but that’s not just showing nothing that’s a team learning a new system with new teammates still putting it together. As compared to a teams 2nd or 3rd year per say how much more comfortable Kenny Pickett looks this offseason.

The criticism and lack of faith is fair at this point. We currently have a lot more question marks than answers and may be going on the road without our best player and defensive leader against a talented offense on Sunday. I feel like Bryce is going to have to play one heck of a game and elevate this entire team if we want to leave ATL with a W. Not sure that’s a fair ask of him at this stage.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
