Great preseason game

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.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
