Panthers win. No, really.

The Carolina Panthers did everything they could to stay winless.

But they were unsuccessful.

They finally broke through with a 23-20 win over San Francisco, despite a fourth quarter full of attempts to give it away.

The game-winner came on John Kasay's 37-yard field goal with 39 seconds remainuing, but turned around with a passing game that finally showed a pulse.

Matt Moore made plays when he had to, completing 28-of-41 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns.

But his otherwise excellent day was nearly ruined when an attempt to throw the ball away instead landed in the gut of 49ers DT Ray McDonald, who returned it 31 yards for a comical touchdown and a 20-13 49ers lead.

The Panthers had other chances, but a fourth-down pass went off David Gettis' hands for a would-be tying score.

Going for it was a bit of a mystery, as the 49ers had no intention of letting backup QB David Carr throw.

But then, in another turn in the oddest game of the year, Gettis atoned, catching a 23-yard touchdown pass with 1:53 left to tie the game at 20.

Gettis had eight catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns, and a deep ball to Brandon LaFell set up Kasay's game-winner.

The Panthers improved to 1-5.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By Icege · Posted

      From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
