As far as a grade on the overall work this team got to put in. 

D+

One decent drive for the starters vs Browns scrubs.  That’s literally all the good.  And you got to ding that unit for getting smashed their first drive by Browns backups….and then your starting WR being a complete idiot on your one drive.  

D was horrible 

ST horrible 

O horrible minus that one drive horrible and uneven work (zero run game) 

Hard to have a lot confidence in where Dave has us at this stage.  Plus the entire NFL world will be talking about a 5th round QB with no real camp work being the best thing on the field as what happened tonight

If a 9-play, 73-yard touchdown drive is "decent," what's "good"? One play, 105 yards?

It’s our starters…. vs 2nd and 3rd stringers.    And it wasn’t like we just ran them off the field.    So yeah you gotta keep all that in perceptive.   So yeah, decent work.  Starters couldn’t even keep their composure on it too.  You can’t rate that drive that high.  It was fine.  That’s not my definition of good.  Only real good opportunity would have been some quick big play TD vs dudes who shouldn’t be on the field with you.

Well, I will say that I don't see how anyone can really feel good about the team's performance tonight. Of course I said there was literally nothing that they can do to get me excited during preseason. But there are things they can do to make me less excited. Shake my head.

I think that's a reasonable expectation for a perennial title contender. For a cellar-dweller, you set the bar too high and you constantly are disappointed. It was a great drive that led to a TD. It had a 30-yard bomb from Bryce to Tet and a third-down conversion for a TD.

The Magic 8 ball says another season of talking draft before Halloween is highly likely. Just no way to sugarcoat it, we looked like poo outside of the TD drive.

It’s amazing the hoops people continue to jump through about preseason. How many years in a row have we seen it? It’s obvious to anyone with eyes as to whether or not we look good or bad. Sure, the final score doesn’t really matter and tons of players won’t even make the team but when you say your a running offense, your first carry over 6 yards should be earlier than garbage time late in the 4th for a RB who won’t even make the PS.

Again, preseason final score doesn’t matter but I won’t think about the playoffs until this team actually shows they can win more than 5 games.

We won’t win many more games if the defense still can’t stop anyone.  Glad the first team offense got a TD though.

True, but let's be real: the two best players on defense weren't even out there, but the run defense (at least in the first quarter) was better than we saw all of last season, albeit against relative nobodies. As for the other quarters, we knew that depth was a concern, so it shouldn't be totally surprising that we got rolled up. I thought that Dalton would be way more effective.

so go ahead & do yourself a favor &  quit watching all these Carolina Panthers hype videos on YouTube  all the time . if not, then you are going to be even more disappointed in this teams performance this year 

this current roster from a talent perspective alone in comparison to the other NFL teams is honestly somewhere in between the 27 to 30 range 

7-10 record this season is a huge huge success for this team right now  & no I do NOT actually think tha this team will win  7 or more games this season   ...just saying

"Smashed by backups" is a weird way to describe a drive with a 4yd run to start, then the open RB drops the pass on second down, and a 3rd string guard misses an assignment on third down.

Bryce looked good. TMac flashed. COKER. No injuries. Corey Thornton is for real. Now to see who responds vs Houston!

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
