LOL ROTFLMAO

This garbage team beat the playoff Texans last year, like I said anything is possible and people should really learn from overreacting from week 1 by now 

Overreacting?  We have scored 18 or fewer points in 12 of our last 13 games.

And the defense is much worse than it was last year.  Derrick Brown's injury all but guaranteed it.

They might have the worst position group at every level outside of the OL.  QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, DL, LBs, DBs... you name it. Name a team with a worse position group at those spots.  We're at least bottom 3/5 in all of them.

This is what happens when you trade all your best players for *checks notes* NOTHING and between 2019-2023 drafted nothing but straight garbage outside of Brian Burns (who we traded) and Derrick Brown (on IR). Jaycee Horn if you want to throw him in there, but he's been hurt every year.  

I don't think anyone is overreacting to Week 1.  Week 1 just took all the hopium out of us and now we see this team for what it really is.  And it ain't a pretty sight to see.  The season will be more enjoyable when you accept you are about to witness history.

That is a long standing rule of mine. I would defend that hill.

 But I 'over' reacted last year because I had never seen such... and I wasn't wrong at all. It was ugglee from day 1-365. They say the exception proves the rule. I couldn't say, but that poo was an exception alright. Because first week was absolutely a barometer. 

Sunday just felt a lot like that, but more focused on the one guy who fell way short of meeting expectations. Who knows. 

Just like the saying that it is never as bad as it looks nor as good as it look... maybe yes maybe no.

I'm very rarely surprised by any Vegas line, those guys really know what they're doing and are usually spot on. But damn, -5.5 is a bit shocking. Defense is gutted, Brown out now too, BY still looks like absolute trash, rookie coach in his 2nd game. Chargers aren't world beaters, but neither are the Saints and they beat us like a red headed step child.

I don't know. Week one has the track record of not being bankable across the board. 

I think what I would say is this is an example of the oddsmakers moving the line to get action on Carolina. Because people won't bite without it.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      By strato · Posted

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
