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.

    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down 
    • yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
