I dont know what it is about this team but if its overcast or rainy, this team just plays horrible. Here is some tidbits. When the sun isnt shining and its either overcast or raining we are 2-3 in the Rivera/Newton era. Lets look at the games we played in rainy or bleak weather. In 2011 we played the Jaguars and Titans in rainy/overcast weather. We barely beat the Jaguars and got stomped by the Titans.

Now lets look at this season so far.. We played the Bucs, Seahawks and Saints in rainy or overcast weather. We are 1-2 this season so far in these conditions. Whats even more telling is not only do we seem to lose in this kind of weather, its almost as though our offense doesnt even show up.. Let me elaborate.. In those 5 games combined we scored a total of 76 points which equals to just 15 points per game in rainy or overcast weather and our record is 2-3.

I know its normal for rain to play a factor but the fact that even in very overcast weather like against the Seahawks we still play poorly which is concerning. I once dated this girl that had this mental condition where when it was rainy or overcast she would go into full depression mode, maybe this team has the same condition. But fear not. I do have good news.. The forecast for the Cowboys game? 68 degrees, bright and sunny with 0% of rain.

Its a fair point. This will be our 1st day home game with good weather. We'll still get beat by 20 points but what the hell.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
