Starters got smashed their first series by backups

they only had one drive after that.  XL was an idiot.  We got to 3rd and goal and it took a play falling apart and scrabble drill to get in after dropping at wide open TD. 

that doesn’t seem like an A.  You can find some good in it.  But overall? 

The first drive got ruined by a practice squad player they wanted to give a shot at RG getting blown up.

The 2nd drive was great.

So we give the starters a B?

I'm still struggling to understand what there was to be upset with the 1st team.

It didn't help when Bryce threw it three feet behind an open crossing RB on 2nd down. That would've moved the chains.

Whose upset?

Speaking in generalities.

Glad to have football back and you guys to argue with!! 

Hopefully we dont suck this year.

Of course I know deep down we could be, but I am genuinely optimistic about this season. 

All BS aside though, I understand why people are taking a wait-and-see attitude 

But I do think we've turned a corner, and i think Canales & Bryce can lead us to the playoffs.

It's obvious a big year for Bryce. Plenty of good QBs didnt make the playoffs in Year 1 or 2 (bc they're usually going to bad teams), but this is the season he needs to establish himself bc very few QBs make it long term if they can't make the playoffs by Year 3.

I think he can do it. A lot of people don't.

We shall see

The entire Browns D was scrubs and it’s a weak to to begin with.  Saying we had a backup in at one spot doesn’t make it all a wash and mean much.  And the sack to me wasn’t the G being a flood gate. Browns played it well.   So that’s a big fat F on series 1. 

second series gets a ding for XL.  They get a ding in the redzone too.  TMac drop and then the backups shutdown the 3rds and goal.  Which means we got lucky when it broke down part to a degree.  So that TD has both good and bad to it. 

One really bad drive and one okay one if looking at the little things and not just the TD occurring.

Now you are just talking out of your butt dude they were 14th last year on a down year for them #1 overall in 2023.....  and they rested 4 starters sooo not all scrubs.

 

Just admit your a masochist fan who enjoys misery, don't try to make sh*t up to try and make everyone as faux enraged as you are.

The 3 win Browns had the #19 ranked D last year boss (27th in points) .  I mean they weren’t the Panthers but our starters facing their 2nd and 3rd stringers isn’t a test of anything. 

I just don’t do this thing some do every single year without fail trying to manifest us into something we haven’t shown to be.  I’ve called the last couple years pretty dang well going into each and every one dating all the way back to year 2 of Rhule

Browns were the 19th ranked D.  

27th in points allowed 

30th in takeaways 

only thing made up, is you pretending the Browns D didn’t stink last year and that we didn’t play the backups of a bad team

We've looked like refried horse poo in preseason for seven consecutive years and then proceeded to look like refried horse poo in seven consecutive regular seasons and Cam Newton ain't walking through that door to save us.

If you're a good organization that consistently puts a competitive team on the field, I get this mindset. But what we saw last night was just business as usual for the Panthers in the Tepper era. And that's precisely the concern.

It didn't mean anything in those seasons either.

Neither does the incompetence of prior coaching and personnel staffs mean anything to our current situation.

The quarterback we saw at the end of last season was perfectly fine and has a shiny new weapon who looked just fine on Friday.

It's too early to know anything.

Okay. All I'm saying is that we consistently look incompetent on the field so don't be the least but surprised if that continues into the regular season. Maybe we break that trend this year but... I wouldn't bet a dime on it.

Its pres-season and all, just that was most of the panthers 1st teamers vs browns 2nd/3rd/rookies.

Browns look better even with 2s and 3s. That was a 3 win team and they just looked better prepared, faster, and stronger. I know there's no game-planning. I also know there's Dave&evero didn't call plays.

 

Brother its just been too long with the losing, that's the problem. Pres-season memes or not.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
