@kass have to give you props spending your Saturday night watching that trash.  That's a true fan right there.

Game start at 19.00, same as most regular games. So time is perfect. Trash, yeah well this it the ~10 season now with this team so I'm kinda used to it 😂

The starting O-line looked like they were overmatched. I mean, did they even show the hell up? Bryce looked antsy due to pressure. The run game was not going to do anything without the O-line being effective. 

The starting inside D-line wasn't great. The pass rush was pretty much non-existent. If Jaycee doesn't play, the defensive cornerbacks as a unit are not going to have any real legitimacy or consistency.

The starters' display of football wasn't great today.

It's just preseason, but the Panthers just look so undisciplined. It's going to be a long season if they can't get simple stuff cleaned up. 

 

You are right 

think I’ll go enjoy my Saturday vs wasting time

imhad hoped someone would show they wanted to play in, and belong in the nfl today

maybe they will some day,  but not today

Placed better than hitting him in stride in the hands…lol. And you talk about the all-pro db thing over and over again like that matters. Does his award last season make the coverage on that play different somehow? We’re looking at a play. Your opinion of the QB, DB, and TE outside of that play does not matter. Did the ball hit the TE in the hands? Yes. Do we expect the TE to make those catches? Yes. Was the coverage good on that play? Maybe average. You’re the only person talking about that coverage like it was something super impressive. Not a hard hit, no restriction of the TEs ability to make the catch. Just a very basic hip tackle after a should be catch. If there’s anything psychological that caused JT to drop that ball because of the db, then that is again on the TE. Why bend over backwards to make that particular play about the QB somehow? Makes no sense. Unless…

No. Dude, just no. LOL

Sanders had good separation and had to slow down allowing Stingley back into the play. Stop embarrassing yourself.

The throw wasn't terrible. It was catchable. But when you're throwing to a subpar starting TE covered by an All-Pro DB these are the results unless everything is perfect. I'm not even trashing Bryce here. He threw a catchable ball. This is why I say that you're coping. You're just not watching this like an educated football viewer.

Just totally different approaches from these two teams. Texans look like a team actively preparing for the regular season looking ready to go. Panthers just look like a bunch of guys thrilled to be cashing Tepper's checks.

It's one thing to see a team that's not very good but is scrappy and plays hard.  We look like we're just looking forward to the peanuts and ginger ale on the flight back to Charlotte.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
