Ugh... Bartholomew has been getting bullied. Drew the OPI but not a good look getting chucked by a rookie WR like that.

@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

Young didn’t play well either but that drop was 1000% on Sanders. Bounced right off his hands. Any NFL starter needs to make that catch. Sorry if this offends.

That hat Evero is wearing would be way cooler if it had stitching instead of a refrigerator magnet as the logo.

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.

Canales is in over his head.  Patently clear

[CPantherKing]

Can we get some hope from this passing game?

[Proudiddy]

The fact Smitty said the receivers were open every play, but Bryce couldn’t get it to them is exactly why I’ve been saying we should’ve added competition at QB the last two years.  Man, this poo is gonna be rough…  but maybe we get Arch?

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.

Princely put a hit on that Texan

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.

Sam Roberts might just make the team
