Nico had us for a super easy TD.  Stroud with a really bad ball 

Yeah he was gone.

Texans blew that. That should've been a TD.

Panthers in regular Tepper season form.

Great 3 and Out

Great that Stroud overthrew the ball on third down. We were good on first and second downs.

A 2nd year mid-round rookie TE failed to make a contested catch against one of the NFL's best DBs who always 2nd in the NFL in broken up passes last season. Who would've think it. LOL

“Contested” is a very generous term to use for that drop.

Conspiracy theory: they aren't letting him play so XL will not get upstaged again lol

He must have eaten some bad brisket and it did a number on him.

Can’t believe Bryce Young threw it right into Sanders hands and forced him to drop it. What a bum.

Bryce didn't look good on his first scripted drive in the preseason. He did have the one good pass, but 1 out of 3 good plays isn't a good drive for a QB

Stop. Dude was on him like a blanket. LOL 

Bryce threw a decent ball and a guy who should be a backup failed to make a pretty tough catch. It is what it is. Had the ball been a little more out in front it would've been better but we have a subpar starting QB throwing to a subpar starting TE and we got the expected result.

I don't know who was in coverage. Could've been Thornton.

I can believe it and Nic Scourton is also out due to some strange heat related illness also

Oh snap

If it's that BS they got in Texas, that might be true

Place your bets now, CJ Stroud rips up our D like he's playing against tackling dummies.

[CPantherKing]

Bryce is skittish. Why? Going to get hurt doing that
