I thought the play calling in the first half looked like Brady was focused on spreading the ball around. Maybe they were trying to save CMC for the second half and set the tone. But it seems like they made a mistake not getting CMC involved in the game earlier in the game. He played well at the end, and it was ridiculous they didn’t give him the ball with the game on the line.

To me, it was basically the same Panthers with new wrinkles. The Raiders are a bad team and I thought they should have won that game the way they played. Going to be a long season.

And that stings more seeing literally all the ex-Panthers do well today.

Actually, the Raiders aren't bad. One really good receiver, a pretty good TE, one helluva O-line and a decent QB. That defense, though...

And you've got to let the ex-Panthers thing go, or it'll haunt you for the whole season one way or another. Live for today and look forward, right?

You have CMC and you give it to Alex. Stupid is as stupid does.

Let's not act like we haven't seen CMC stuffed, he's a great back by ALL ACCOUNTS, but Cam was the short yardage guarantee, on inches just pull a Brady and quick-hike the QB sneak. 

Not a terrible call as if you're in the ''I'' penetration could get to the HB before the FB on a dive, I don't like the call, but I also don't hate it, earlier in the game we converted on a FB Dive near the GL if memory serves.

Sure I've seen CMC stopped in short yardage out in space and up the middle. If it were up to me Cam would be playing his final contract year here to see if he still has it.

Yes we saw the left side of our o-line beat the right side of their d-line on like the 3 yard line if memory serves. The problem I have with the call is that it doesn't funnel the ball to our talent. It puts game in the hands of our o-line run blocking and our FB, and those are not our premier players. TB is an accurate QB, and we know CMC can get open at will, and these are two of our premier players. If TB misses the pass, or CMC fails in some way, then the best you have let you down. That's ok to me. When our o-line and FB fail in short yardage it doesn't surprise me. They are not our best players.

Meh. It's week 1. Even in the most normal of years you can't tell poo from week 1. 

Not a big deal. Team got better in 2nd half. Defense looked like it started to come together a little.

New coach. Brand new team. It's just the beginning and they held their own. 

They'll get it worked out.

^ this 100 percent

all you other negative people should be banned
