    Just what I said, since DGB is gone, I'd wish Hunter could grow some stones get off the line , get downfield and go up and get it. Not much chance of that. WR and DB are being neglected. How's Austin Johnson doing? I really wanted us to take a corner or WR earlier in the draft.

    I had a feeling we'd look bad against the Panthers considering they are one of the top teams in the NFL. I feel like we tried to be a little to "exotic" in the run game when we should have tried to see if we can run straight at a top D to see what happens. In any case, it's the pre-season and we look a lot better than we did last year except for at the CB position. I have a feeling we will give up quite a few long TDs through the air this year.

    Bass made a great tackle on 3rd and 3 to prevent a 1st down late in the half. Backup LB made plays.

    Huff made some good plays too, and lit a guy up after he caught the ball and caused him to drop it. Good to see we have some hitters.

    Simply amazed at how insane fans can be lmao. Been with this team since 1978 and can't remember this insanity over pretty season games before. (Yes pretty season, as in this is the time your teams look pretty). Mariota is 14 of 15 so far, the o line looks better than last year, the backs look better, looks like we found a WR who can actually help this team, missing both starting CB'S but stopped the Panthers run game... what is it I'm missing? We had the first pick in last year's draft and they were playing for the championship... what is it I'm missing? Did we suddenly jump from 30 to top 3 in the power rankings? What am I missing? Have we even game planned yet? What am I missing?

    Folks, don't get your panties in a bunch over pretty season games, not worth it. It's about evaluating players and finding what things work and what doesn't with the players you have end of story. We have fans claiming Mariota doesn't have a strong arm and maybe he doesn't have Mettenberger's arm strength but Mett will never have Marcus' accuracy or touch or vision or mobility or intelligence or even his desire and btw his arm strength is just fine.

    Anyone who thought we were going to compete for the playoffs this season has what is commonly referred to as unrealistic expectations. Let's be honest here, best case scenario this team is 8-8. I think we'll be 6-10... yes I would love to be 10-6 or better but it just isn't going to happen overnight.

    The one where the score was 10-7 while the starters were on the field. While our secondary needs work, neither of our starting CBs played yesterday.

    From your interpretation one would be led to believe we were blown out in the first quarter, which clearly was not the case.

    I didn't imply we were blown out, I implied that our D has some problems. I also conceded that we had two starting CB's out. Still, it looked way too easy. But as someone else posted, it's preseason. In 3 weeks a miracle will happen! I can't wait.

    Fair enough. I too am looking forward to regular season. It certainly looks as though some improvements have been made, it remains to be seen if that's the case.

    I was wondering about that guy, and that play.
    Was Cam playing against some of our 2s? 3s?
    Or is Grant already with the Ones?
