The Hall of Fame Game (Preseason One) will be played tonight between the Jets and the Browns.

It's not Panthers football, it's not regular season football, it probably won't even be good football, but it is NFL football...and I'm ready for it.

The last few seasons left a really bad taste in my mouth, one that made it very tough to get excited for the start of the next season. But the changes made to the team this past offseason have excised those bad feelings.

My expectations for this year aren't super high, but getting better and looking like an actual professional football team would be a huge improvement over the most recent whatever you want to call it. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Maybe I'm just ready to be hurt again like Steve Carell, but I'm genuinely hyped up and anxious to get things started.

I haven't been able to say that for a few years now.

Feels good 😁

Addition by subtraction. And we significantly added by subtracting Rhule. Our team played better once he was gone, I have a lot of confidence in our new staff this year. I honestly expect a .500 season or better and I don't think that's unrealistic!

This season is about a complete restart. We have a new coaching staff and a shiny new #1 overall pick QB. I think most fans just want to get reassured that it looks like we've chosen well on both fronts and have reason for hope for the future. It's less about the win/loss record for me. We were all excited as hell about the future after Cam's rookie season despite losing a lot of games because we competed and we saw there was a lot of hope for the future. I wanna feel like that again. Anything more than that in terms of wins on the field would just be a very welcome bonus for me.

I want to see more wins than last year...if not, I will be concerned.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
