It's typical for us. Always key injuries in the first 3 weeks of the season. Can never stay healthy. I know it happens to other teams, but it's always our core guys

They blew the whistle to stop the play. Still though, it did look as if he wasn't aware of that fact

The offense seemed to be rattled and pressing after they got the onside kick. And O-line crapped the bed. Credit to Cardinals defense too though

My point exactly

Which says something about our scout team

About time they called holding

Holding!!

Was a complete jailbreak. No heart in this team. And why did we schedule the Cardinals for this week? After our recent success against them. Kind of a trap game

Lol, I forgot how many people here need training wheels to read. My bad! From now on pawagwaphs, got it!

Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol

He doesn't like being called Tet, lol. But, you are absolutely right... this is a draft pick we actually got right. TMAC is showing he has that "dog" in him. Can see the level of talent he has over the players on the field immediately. Just getting started.

Never said I believe, but at least Darnold has had some success. And nothing I said in that was PRO Young... I'm watching the same game as you

If I remember correctly, Darnold had a very good season last year. Let's not make comparisons to someone who has actually lead a team to the playoffs. I do get what you're saying though, lol

Yeah, we had 2 downs to get 1 freaking yard. No confidence on this team. Leaders need to step up NOW if we have any. I do love the effort by our rookie WR.

He's flustered and in his own head. Not a good look early on. MAYBE preseason matters a little? IDK, call me crazy
