Yes, the Panthers are a great defense; however, they aren't quite the same D as last year. They shouldn't have given us quite as many problems as they did.

Additional thought:

If we can start to gel and make it through the first part of the season with a decent record, I like our chances. Wilson should return to the lineup just as we start all of our second-half division play. While I don't think he will be a huge difference maker, I do believe that his presence will allow us to throw some new looks into our offense.

In fact, I wonder if some of Al's poor playcalling isn't a result of Wilson's loss. I don't want to put too much emphasis on his presence, but I think that Al had this shiny new toy that he was really excited to show off. When the toy got taken away, it put Al into a funk from which he hasn't completely recovered.

I think people are putting WAY too much on Kris Wilson's shoulders. If Trent doesn't have confidence in his young wideouts, what makes you think he'll have confidence in the young TE?

And someone should point out that Wilson wasn't that big a difference maker in preseason.

Don't pin all of your hopes on the return of a rookie TE. You're setting yourself up for disappointment.

You're probably right, but I'm struggling for explanations and hope, here. Cut me a little slack.
