We didn't win, but you can't tell me that after watching tonight's game, this team isn't ready for the regular season.

Kenny Moore will be the division's surprise of the year. He really does look like Steve Smith the way he moves.

Nick Hayden, you sir had a great game. I feel great about our defensive line...honestly I do. The last two games, we've been great against the run, and one really saw the gang tackling mentality in its full glory tonight. Nick Hayden was the star of the defense tonight, with Brown a close second

J.Leman, welcome to the Carolina Panthers, make yourself at home.

Captain Munnerlyn: not this year kid...maybe practice squad, but this was a bad night for you

Dwayne Jarrett: Out of all our WRs not named Steve Smith, this guy is the one guy I know will catch anything that's catchable,........as long as he's open and they actually dare throw it to him

Josh McCown: You did better than Matt Moore...that'll do pig, that'll do

Mike Goodson: sweet merciful Jesus, the kid can run, but those fumbles I tell you what....that's gonna get him in the dog house real quick if he doesn't fix it.

I love the way we looked today. we lost on what some might call fluke plays, but overall, we were stone cold solid on all fronts. Here's to the regular season

Gotta say I disagree about McCown and Moore, I thought Moore was hands down much better. Sometimes you have to look past a bad throw and look at all the great ones. If Barnidge holds on to that one over the middle then that would have been a huge play. McCown on the other hand missed a couple of receivers high and over threw King on a sure TD. Moore was better tonight but McCown will be the number two, which is fine by me.

Listening to the radio--

Ummm its SOUNDED a lot WORSE than you said..... Tackles were missed, they drove down field almost at will until the 4th qrt and we just took 3 steps forward, 2 steps back every time we had a chance.

I will get to see the game on Sun, but when Mick Mixon calls a play an embarrasement its bad... (he always toes the company line)

No I agree with what was said, it wasn't nearly as bad as the score looked. As far as the defense I thought they played pretty well until the third string guys came in. There was a stretch where the Steelers couldn't do anything and their QB was running for his life. It was much like the New York game where we fumbled away the game right before the half, not that it really matters because the game doesn't count. We are 0-0 as of right now, glad its over.

I can't be the only one that remembers the drive where the Steelers backups trucked all over our starters ending with a random fifth-string back breaking about five tackles by probably defensive starters for a touchdown right?

Take it how you will, I take that as a fluke play, you won't see that in the regular season. Also, if you can't give Hayden credit where its due after all the fire he's taken this season, then so be it.

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay!

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
