Biggest problem I saw tonight...

All summer I've been thinking how our offense did our defense no favors last year, going 3-and-out every drive, keeping the D on the field too much. Now, what Cam and our offense need more than anything is a defense that gets off the field, helping put our offense in favorable field position so we can work to actually sustain some offensive drives. Now I see a defense that is content to be on the field for 70% of the game. fml

It's a tough hill to climb for us this year, especially if our offense is only seeing the game maybe 5-6 series. You almost HAVE to score every possession to have a chance at winning. The only thing standing in the way of that is lousy WRs and pathetic playcalling. Pretty important pieces there.

FMFL. I had gotten so excited after that first preseason game.

I'm calling out individual players.

Chris Gamble is showing his age. We should have kept Marshall and not gambled on him (pun intended).

Dan Connor and James Anderson are perhaps the slowest LBs sideline to sideline in the history of the Panthers. Benard Scott looked like Barry Sanders out there.

And can someone please please tell Charles Johnson that he can join the Panthers any time now. I think he's still counting the wads of cash that he got from Marty "the idiot" Hurney.

It's going to be another tough season fellas. But if that spells the end of the Hurney era, I'm okay with another 2-win season.

I can sum up many of our problem in three words:

Line. Of. Scrimmage.

They owned it, they won.

Cannot agree more. Football starts at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

There was absolutely no discipline nor lane integrity on the defense last night. The players were out of position on play after play after play.

It was embarassing to see our DE's continuously crashing down and being out of position.....giving up big run plays.

McDermott needs to step it up.....or he will prove Philly correct for running him out of town.

considering that about all the talking heads predicted that the beagles were the worst team in the league prior to our suedo game with them, I'm wondering which are the 1 or 2 games on our schedule we can win? When the stands are half full what will Richardson do then?

Preseason people. No matter how crappy we played last night, im going to hold judgement until after the 1st regular season game.
