not looking for a win tonight, just wanna see the d show ALLOT of improvement and the offense be able to move the ball down field. and also no injuries

Agreed....I don't give a ding-dong on who wins; just don't want to see Baltimore run for 9, 12, or 22 yards every play or our offense go 3 and out everytime they get the ball and the Ravens will be an excellent test to see how ready the Cats are for the Iggles.

GO PANTHERS!!!

Are any of the following expected to play?:

Moose

Smitty

Williams

Stewart (that has to be an almost 100% no)

I think it will look pretty scary if they are missing all or most of those guys and have to play the 1st string D I saw vs the Jets.

Ray Rice et al will be a good test of their rush D.

Fox ain't sayin

Coach John Fox said Friday some regulars who have been limited by injuries this preseason – and who are unlikely to play tonight – could play next week against Pittsburgh in the Panthers' final exhibition. That last exhibition is one in which Fox plays starters sparingly (last season, in fact, they didn't play at all against the Steelers in the final exhibition). Receiver Steve Smith, linebacker Thomas Davis and running back Jonathan Stewart haven't played in the first two exhibitions. Fox wouldn't say whether they would play today. Stewart, who hasn't practiced in more than two weeks because of a sore Achilles, is a virtual certainty not to play against the Ravens.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
