Yeah maybe.. But again first game of the year with a new QB, Oline and facing a top 5 defense.. What were you expecting The greatest show on turf??

Really?  This is your reply?

I can expect the professional football team I am a fan of to be FAR better prepared and coached than what they showed today even against a Top 10 (not 5 IMO) defense.  I guess I expect too much of well paid coaches who "coach" well paid players.

The Giants stole our lunch money and shoved us into a locker last year already. Daniel Jones looked like a franchise QB.

So what that have to do with this year??

Yeah, Rhule and company have given us so much reason to bank on them improving.

I thought that penalties did a ton to derail us today. I was happy about the adjustments in the second half but too many errors, blown coverage, wiff blocking and poor tackling. I hope that issue to being the first game and we clean those up.

Baker lead a game winning drive..

This is not true. The Browns drove down the field and kicked a walk off field goal for the win. Baker led a go ahead score drive.

Cool.. Idk what you expect.. I can use Context in my opinion and understand this wasn't going to be the greatest show on turf game 1... I know football and that browns defense has top talent in each level of the defense.. So I saw what I thought I would..

Exactly too many errors to many times the ball was on the ground and we were facing a bad match up.. But I saw a team that didn't quit after a awful 1st half and had a chance to win and got crushed by 2 bad calls at the end..

I am just going to leave this thought here:

Does it really take a great coach to know that Ike would need help against Garrett today?  Look, I know sometimes you have to ask your players to bear down and go 1 on 1 with All-Pro players but you have to know you can't ask that a majority of the game.  I suppose it is "trial by fire" for Ike and hopefully he'll grow from it, but it's just common sense.  Fans don't get paid millions to understand the obvious. 

As a HC Rhule has to talk to his OC, Off Line coach, DC, etc. to all relate and come to a common conclusion on things that are so OBVIOUS.  It's poor game planning that we've seen for 3 years now.

That is true.. He lead the team down for a game winning drive and if the defense didn't get screwed or its job.. We win..

Not too worried about that. That defense has a ton of issues. Namely they struggle to stop the run, rush the passer, and cover. Other than that, they're pretty decent.

Very fast though lol. Very quick to the missed tackles

Who had the come from behind game winning drive? It surely wasn't the Panthers, which means it's factually impossible that Baker led a game winning drive.

[WOW!!]

Not as disappointing as others in this 1st game.. And saw some positive signs.. If you didn't cool.. Not a moral victory for me but I'm not going to lie about what I saw because I don't like the coach..

After watching the first couple of seasons of Rhule coaching the Panthers are you really still hoping that these issues are cleaned up?  They never have been in the past.

I hope you are right, I hope they are.  I am about out of faith.
