10 Days Till First " Pre " Season Game

[OceanPanther]

YES,  10 days till our players get to hit someone other than teammates .   
YES,  we know preseason games are awful,  but better than Training Camp reports. 

Question.  Why is there 2 weeks ( 16 days ) between out last preseason game with Pittsburg ( Aug 27 )  and the jets visiting us on Sept 12 .  That seems like longer than normal 

[Mr. Scot]

They shortened the preseason.

Gets us ready for the Super Bowl 2 week break.

It gives us an extra week to over analyze and argue over stuff we have no control over....

Going to the beach for 7 days and the day I get back there will be a Panthers game. Excited

The removed a game. Seems like the length is still the same. Looks like the additional regular season game is adding time to the end of the season vs moving the start up. Makes sense, I guess. Give the same amount of practice time.

I can't wait for the first preseason game, and to then be reminded about a half into it that preseason really sucks and get antsy to see "real" football again.

Well, at least the wild overreactions on the Huddle will be entertaining

Those are the most predictable thing ever. Watching the completely insane overreactions in the TC threads is always entertaining. "WE HAVE A TOP TEN DEFENSE!!!"  "SAM DARNOLD IS THE GREATEST QB IN PANTHERS HISTORY!"  "TERRACE MARSHALL IS OUR NEW #1 WR!"  "WE SHOULD MOVE JACKSON TO FS BECAUSE HE IS A BUM!"

To be fair, I think Terrence Marshall will actually be our number1 wr by the end of the season. He is by far the most physically gifted wr we have and he knows the offense and has more experience in our offense from LSU than the other guys.

I like Terrace Marshall as a player, I think he is going to be a valuable contributor to our team but there is no way I am going to buy into him being better than DJ Moore and Robby Anderson in his rookie season. The odds of that happening are pretty slim. This isn't LSU, this is the NFL. And Joe Brady was Passing Game Coordinator in 2019 for LSU. Marshall played that one year in his system. Same as Anderson and Moore.

does anyone know the reason we play Pittsburgh every year in the preseason? my buddy (pitt fan) and I joke about this every year.

Jerry Richardson made that agreement with the Steelers because he was closed to Rooney family.  I'm guessing Tepper is sticking with it because he is also close to the Rooney family.
