Ron Rivera on Tillman "There is some concern."

[Icebox]

"Some concern" doesn't necessarily mean he's out for the season.

Relax, guys. Take a deep breath.

I thought McClain played great, he made some really sure handed tackles. Didn't he also have a pick?

[Sam Mills Fan]

You people know it was a no-contact injury right? He could have easily done the same thing next time they practiced.

McClain looked pretty good today, had a nice pic. Will probably be starting in the playoffs.

[IGSaint]

I thought Robert McClain filled in great for Tilman, hopefully it's not just a flash in the pan performance but something we can count on in the playoffs.

Ron: "I thought he could have gone back into the game" = 3 weeks out

Ron: "There is some concern" = season ender

[Davidson Deac II]

Well, it could just mean that we are concerned because he has already had knee problems this year.  At least I hope that is the case.

Not sure if mentioned but McClain matches up better (neither match up well) with Lockett than Tillman does.

I do agree with that, Tillman would be, let's say, a tad slow in that one.  Hopefully we see some sacks like we did today from our DEs, definitely can't let any long bombs take time to develop if we play them.

Going to be tough facing a string of competent QBs in the playoffs with 2 of our top 3 CB's out for the duration.

If you haven't noticed, the Panthers have been dropping 30 like on the reg. 

We like shootouts and our defensive front hasn't even been hitting on all cylinders yet.

DE's only got one sack today.......

I don't think they're gonna hit on all cylinders.  Think we can all just forget about that at this point.

They looked awfully good today. And I doubt there's another team whose second-string defense has had more game-time experience than ours. 

Wouldnt be surprised if we have the most rested defensive unit in the NFL based on how high our offenses' time of possession is.

dont feel like looking it up, but I wouldn't be surprised if our offense leads the league in total TOP...that really means something at this point in the season concerning fresh-defensive units.
