Am I the only one that feels like josh Allen looks like a rookie tonight ?

This is the long term a league wide result from reducing the preseason to three games. It's basically turning the 1st game of the season into a modified version of the old 4th preseason game that counts. Some teams are choosing to use the preseason to do a more detailed look at roster depth and new acquisitions. Those teams put more time in practice on the starters. The Panthers have done that this offseason. I guess the results will vary from team to team and whether they do not have that problem.  If you haven't noticed league wide very few starters play that much in the preseason.

This is a theory I firmly believe as well.  17 game seasons, playoff spots added… why treat game 1 as the big game… it’s the intro game to your season. 
 

continuity is king … the longer a roster stays together the more the advantage they can have

Combined with the padded practice rules. Everyone looks terrible the first couple weeks. Except Dallas apparently

    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality. 
    • I think the D performed well over the season considering it was put together with Scotch tape.
