As bad as last years OL was QB's weren't dropping like flies to IR within three games. This has the potential to get pretty damn ugly if any of our starters get even slightly banged up.

You asked for Sam to take a pounding. You got your wish.

That YGM/Ioanidiss/Chinn volleyball interception was pretty rad. Not much room for injuries on the D-line though

They really do. My daughter has epilepsy and we had to leave a preseason game last year in the second quarter because they were affecting her. 

At a minimum, they need to add an epilepsy warning to the ticket buying process.

Yeah YGM actually looked decent tonight. 

[mrcompletely11]

Baker looked decent

icky was light years better 

Elflein still sucks

shi smith needs playing time

chinn is going to get paid

our depth still worries me

still think this is a 6/7 win team

feels like we are one good draft away from having a top tier nfl roster.

So far on replay, Chuba sucks. Not really worried about the LB's, Luvu and Littleton look great even without Shaq

I don’t see enough redeeming qualities with Chubba to make up for having no hands.

He seemingly being entrenched as the number 2 back might be the least deserved status on the squad.

Not looking forward to Santoso either.

If he still has his power stache I could get behind it.

It's up there with Elf at Center but there's injury there. Rhule mentioned Bozeman is back next week so maybe they are feeling a little urgency to upgrade that spot. At least Boze can snap the ball cleanly, can't have bad handoffs and low snaps every other drive

How many centers are walking around in free agency that could step in and do better?  I think its pretty thin.  Any running back we pick up is going to be at least as good as Chuba.

Was busy last night so I'm catching up on the game now. Just finished the first half.

I've got questions/concerns with the defense, but it does flash from time to time. The OL is making strides, but they'll be limited until Bozeman is starting at center. Shi Smith continues to look like the better WR of the two that the Panthers drafted in 2021, and Baker looks better than he did the year he led the Browns to the playoffs.

It amazes me how against any level of competition Erving, Jordan, and Elflein consistently look terrible and overwhelmed. Erving almost sacked Sam when Lovett had to cut the DE down that had ran by.

Injuries will always be a major concern. Darnold's injury means that PJ likely makes the 53, and Gonzalez's injury puts us in a tough spot that we thought we weren't in anymore once we signed him.

Hopefully Jordan and Erving never see the field at the same time. It looks like they just walked off the street, got uniforms and were told good luck. Can't believe they've been "practicing" for a month and still look like they have no clue what's going on. At least Elf kinda knows what to do, he just sucks at doing it

I've come to terms that we're going to at least see Erving and Elflein still make the roster, and as much as I have hated Elflein being on the field for the Panthers even I can admit that he's the least terrible out of Erving, Jordan, and himself.

Cutting Jordan saves the team $995k (no dead cap!). Erving, Elflein, Mays, and Daley could allow them to roll into the season with 9 OL. I'd love to see Deonte Brown still make the roster, but he hasn't done anything other than not be as terrible as Jordan.

This.
I'm tired of watching Chubba drop catchable throws.

If there is no warning present, train her ahead of time and plan for it and have her fake a seizure, if even possible, and sue. That should stop it.
