Official Panthers - Steelers Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Tonight the Panthers look for a win against the Pittsburgh to help solidify their status as the class of the NFC South.

 

 

Who: Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers

 

When: 8:30pm

 

TV: NBC - NBC Charlotte will be airing LIVE from the Huddle Tailgate starting at 6:00pm. They will have three live spots within the hour.

 

Radio: 1110 WBT

 

Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle on twitter for observations

 

All-Pro: Additional pregame coverage in the All-Pro Insider forum. Early photos/observations/behind the scenes action.

 

 

 

Panthers' Keys to Victory:

 

- Contain Le'Veon Bell. Bell is the most potent offensive weapon of Pittsburgh.

- Continue to Spread the Ball: Cam Newton has done an excellent job of getting the ball to a variety of receivers. This must continue tonight.

- Quick Start. There will be plenty of Steelers fans in attendance. A few quick scores will quiet them and eventually send them back to their trailers early.

Couple thoughts of concern for tonight...

Panthers DBs vs quick WRs. I think we are better suited to matchup against big WRs. This will be a test tonight.

Impact of Hardy. Last week we did not get to see the real impact he has out of the line up. We will this week.

Cam locking on early and starring down short routes to WRs. Troy P often doesn't even play S but instead just spy's the QBs eyes and guesses.....worry about a defender like Troy playing up and jumping those pass lanes

all eyes will be on charlotte tonight.  i think our guys make another statement.  they are still pissed off for being dismissed this off-season.  

 

 

and i hate waiting for night games to get here.

Sadly I think all the talk will be about Greg Hardy. You know NBC isn't just gonna sweep that under the rug.

 

 

I don't really care as long as we get the Win.

 

 

Go Panthers!

Latest Injury Report

Carolina Panthers:

Jason Avant (WR) - Thigh - Questionable

Byron Bell (OT) - Toe - Probable

Kelvin Benjamin (WR) - Knee - Probable

Philly Brown (WR) - Ankle - Probable

Nate Chandler (OL) - Toe - Probably

Colin Cole (DT) - Non-Injury - Probable

Jericho Cotchery (WR) - Thigh - Questionable

Thomas Davis (LB) - Hip - Probable

Dwan Edwards (DT) - Back - Probable

Greg Olsen (TE) - Calf - Probable

Mike Tolbert (FB) - Chest - Probable

Fozzy Whittaker (RB) - Thigh - Doubtful

Garry Williams (OT) - Hip - Probable

DeAngelo Williams (RB) - Thigh - Questionable

The list leaves the Panthers a bit depleted at the wideout and running back positions, but most are expected to play.  With Deangelo Williams and Jason Avant both getting limited practice in on Friday, it appears both should be able to play tonight.  Cotchery has been out all week with a thigh injury and did not practice on Friday.  

 

Carolina has brought up Darrin Reaves from the practice squad to add depth in Fozzy's absence.  If Jason and/or Jericho can't go, be prepared to have some Brenton and Philly sightings in tonight's game.

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers:

Dri Archer (WR/RB) - Ankle - Doubtful

Martavis Bryant (WR) - Shoulder - Probable

Ramon Foster (OG) - Ankle - Questionable

Brett Keisel (DE) - Non-Injury - Probable

Steve McLendon (NT) - Shoulder - Probable

Heath Miller (TE) Non-Injury - Probable

Lance Moore (WR) - Groin - Probable

Troy Polamalu (S) Non-Injury - Probable

 

Nothing too damaging here for the Steelers.  Most on this list are expected to play.

Not one bit worried about RB. We basically have too much depth. So this is just us finally being able to use it.

Crotchety is the big one IMO. He has stepped up for those 89 like 3rd down grabs

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
