The talent isn’t great, but this has to be the worst top to bottom coaching staff I’ve ever seen. There are players here and there making plays out of shear heart, but it is only due to their individual effort. Horn and Chuba. That’s it. Not a single position group is even a little prepared to play. WHERE IS THE COACHING? It’s an amateur hour clown show. NOBODY knows wtf to do or how to do it. This is the basic stuff that is supposed to get ironed out in TC. I now 100% believe this is why Thielen wanted out. He saw the unprepared and unmotivated s-show all through camp and wanted no part of it. XL not even trying to block or come down in bounds??? That’s as basic as it gets! GTFO. Sadly, under Tepp, this team is THE no fly zone in all of pro sports for competent coaches. NOBODY wants to work for that dude. It’s the coach graveyard and Tepp is the undertaker. Position coaches by and large want to climb the coaching ladder so why in the hell would anyone worth anything come here? This team needed and still needs a GM/HC combo that Tepp would never feel comfortable hiring. Just imagine if we could have landed Harbuagh, Johnson or Payton. Our 2 SB coaches, Fox or Rivera, would have never been hired under current ownership. It starts at the top. My way or no way coaches need not apply here, sadly.

What really gets me, the one thing that I’ve been waiting to see, but haven’t… dude has no heart. He’s the slowest supposed to be fast guy I’ve ever seen in my life. He doesn’t run away from anyone. He’s a slower Ted Ginn, with worse hands, and no heart… ok, so he’s nothing like Ted. I really liked Ted. You never questioned Ted’s effort. I don’t think I like XL much anymore.

All. Day. Long. I’ll say it again. Wilks was the PERFECT ‘bridge’ prove it 1 year deal, coach. It jell’ed so well. Let him bring back dignity…. but we can’t have nice things.

Truth. Even in losing, it was a respectable effort. The defense always set the tone. Fox and Rivera were very similar that way. Nobody ran on this defense like EVERYBODY does now. Those teams, if nothing else, would stop the run. This new ish is just demoralizing.

Agreed. I liked what I saw out of him today.

We hired Canales because he doesn’t intimidate Tepp. Wilks had this team playing harder with 1 week on the job while doing it HIS way than every other coach we’ve had since Tepp bought the team. At least the team played like they had dignity. I don’t know what the hell I just watched. It just takes a different kind of captain to steer this garbage barge through the ish storm it currently finds itself in.

Another opener where they’ve looked completely lost and unprepared. There is not a single thing that looks improved from last season.

3 bad snaps, 3 bad drops and pressure in his face as soon as he corrals the bad snap. Hard to really get a good read on BY with this one.

Why do I think absurd thoughts like David Moore in for 6. Twice. Anyway, here’s my totally insane prediction. Panthers 31 jags 24 BY 180 passing with a TD, 30 rushing with a TD. Defense gives up 75 yards on the ground. 3 sacks and a FF. Difference makers: Horn, Brown, Travis (rips off a few big runs) and D Moore.

Mahomes is clowning Jackson

Play book espionage signing… not that it really matters.

Good start for Eagles defense on my fantasy team. Thanks, Carter.

I may have staggered by it a time or 2 in the 90s. I miss those days.

That’s UNCG

XL better turn in to a straight up DUDE. If Tet can do Tet things and XL surprises… then maybe we’ll be ok. Sanders going to get a ton of targets. Tet better channel his best megaton impersonation.

I don’t see how a general surgeon would clear him for football type contact in anything less than 3 weeks. Even 3 is being aggressive. My thinking is 4. 1. Dude is going to get smashed in his abdomen every play the moment he gets on the field. Believe that. Defenders are not going to feel the least bit sorry for him. 2. Trying to handle the speed rushers after getting shanked in the abdomen a few times by something the size of a screwdriver… that’s going to take a while. Any jarring motion is typically very painful. Now this all applies to mere mortals and NFL gladiators are on another level so we’ll see. This is the most cursed franchise I’ve ever seen.

Complete speculation, but what if it was “daddy I want to go back home.” “I really miss my friends and cousins.” Or “hey hun, I really miss it back home.” Do they have any family in Charlotte? Where do the grandparents live? Were they putting heat out. What sort of health are their folks in? What man that has a conscience could fade heat like that and stay put in a foreign land when he don’t gotta? They have plenty of money. He doesn’t play because he’s broke and has to. Just saying that there could have been non-football motivation at play.

Agreed, it’s just that Mr. supercomputer knows every tendency of every defender on the team and all 3 pages of Evero’s playbook.

So for now Coker, our 2nd year UDFA, is by default the most reliable WR on this team?! You serious, Clark? You know he is low key celebrating this. Until Tet takes a true NFL snap, Coker has the highest floor in the team as Tet is an unknown. I feel like Tet will be a dawg for us, but again, it’s still an unknown. Knowing that Thielen was out may have influenced them keeping Moore. It’s going to be fun to see this play out.

Glad to see we don’t play MN this year because AT would MURDER our defense. He would beat the brakes off of em.

Thielen drew the most respect from opposing defenses and opened things up for XL and Coker. I see Tet now being that guy. I sincerely hope someone steps up to being the 3rd down conversion master that Thielen was.

I hope your cath went well

Ratio of UGA fans to Falcons fans outside of Atlanta is at least 20:1. Even in the city UGA dominates. Hell, there are probably more Bama fans here than Falcons. Old school SEC states are a tough sell for pro football.

David Moore still has decent wheels, rarely drops a pass and knows how to get open for 6 in the red zone. He and Bryce have a good working chemistry. He may surprise some when he makes the final 53.

I’m hyped, just as I always am for game 1. my wife will probably tell me to turn it down a few times. Since it’s J-ville I’ll have my John Fox bobble head beside me for good juju along with my signed Proehl picture of the catch. Will good stuff transpire? Maybe. Hopefully. If it doesn’t, I’ll have a couple fishing rods in my vehicle and I’ll find a pond somewhere come 4:15. Guarded optimism.
