I smell blood. (RE our opponents)

[RelaxImaPro]

Like last year when we were Quinned by KC.

 

Or Andre Brown with his 30.0 YPC when we played the Giants.  I think Cruz or Nicks was out that game too.

Question, aren't the Falcons 0-3? Isn't it usually a bad omen to go 0-4 in the preseason?

[ElkinPanthersFan]

I wonder what our write-up would say?

 

Carolina Panthers: WTF is an offensive line? Carolina's offensive line is truly offensive, but only to Cam Newton.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

blood....blood... blood makes the green grass grow  Hooah!

 

FIFY

Plus their OL is about as bad as ours, I am hoping for at least 5 sacks a game against them.

Re: Jeff Tuel - I'm not going to lie, I've watched all three Bills' preseason games and honestly, he looks to be just as good as EJ Manuel, albeit with a different skillset, and MUCH better than Kolb. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a starter for a team in the league one day.

I guess the jury is out on that one.

 

 

During a ten-year period from 1997 to 2007, twominutewarning.com looked at 22 teams who had a winless preseason. Only four of those teams went on to win ten or more games. This article was written at the end of the 2008 preseason when the New England Patriots went 0-4.

 

Guess where the Patriots ended up in the standings after the 2008 season? 11-5. You could say, while statistics matter some, they certainly don't mean the future of a winless team is set in stone. Here is a look at other teams whose preseason results were the opposite of their regular season.

Bucs offensive line is pretty much as awful as ours with Nicks out indefinitely, and Josh Freeman has been underwhelming. I would not be surprised if we saw Glennon by the time we play the Bucs.

[caatfan]

Seems like a good time to be a decent offensive lineman. Lots of teams in need.

[Henne Given Sunday]

Dolphins defense also yielded 63 total yards to the Bucs in the first half (without Doug Martin) and made Freeman look worse than normal. 

 

Tannehill also playing without his starting TE and a backup right guard was over 90 qb rating, 1 td (2 others dropped) and 150 yards in 1 half of play. Tannehill hasn't thrown a pick all preseason and is over a 100 qb rating this exhibition season without a decent run game. (Miller will be fine btw he has a 4.3 ypc average with 73 yards on 17 carries and a td this preseason) 

 

I am excited for November 24th.....the Panthers and Dolphins have a lot of similarities. 

[Anybodyhome]

Sounds like Panther fans are already lifting rocks searching and trying to justify the team's future success with a lousy O-line

[PhillyB]

buffalo and NYG looking very winnable right now.

[pantherclaw]

No team is perfect.

They all have issues.

I'll take the start of the season leaning on defense until our offense can get into rhythm.

It's not as bad as some think.

[Guest HelloWorld]

...can we hire Tanya Harding to check on the health of Brees and Matt Ryan?

I'll rather we let our DL do that. A lesser panthers D did just that last year.
