Official Panthers - Steelers Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Tonight the Panthers look for a win against the Pittsburgh to help solidify their status as the class of the NFC South.

 

 

Who: Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers

 

When: 8:30pm

 

TV: NBC - NBC Charlotte will be airing LIVE from the Huddle Tailgate starting at 6:00pm. They will have three live spots within the hour.

 

Radio: 1110 WBT

 

Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle on twitter for observations

 

All-Pro: Additional pregame coverage in the All-Pro Insider forum. Early photos/observations/behind the scenes action.

 

 

 

Panthers' Keys to Victory:

 

- Contain Le'Veon Bell. Bell is the most potent offensive weapon of Pittsburgh.

- Continue to Spread the Ball: Cam Newton has done an excellent job of getting the ball to a variety of receivers. This must continue tonight.

- Quick Start. There will be plenty of Steelers fans in attendance. A few quick scores will quiet them and eventually send them back to their trailers early.

Couple thoughts of concern for tonight...

Panthers DBs vs quick WRs. I think we are better suited to matchup against big WRs. This will be a test tonight.

Impact of Hardy. Last week we did not get to see the real impact he has out of the line up. We will this week.

Cam locking on early and starring down short routes to WRs. Troy P often doesn't even play S but instead just spy's the QBs eyes and guesses.....worry about a defender like Troy playing up and jumping those pass lanes

all eyes will be on charlotte tonight.  i think our guys make another statement.  they are still pissed off for being dismissed this off-season.  

 

 

and i hate waiting for night games to get here.

Sadly I think all the talk will be about Greg Hardy. You know NBC isn't just gonna sweep that under the rug.

 

 

I don't really care as long as we get the Win.

 

 

Go Panthers!

Latest Injury Report

Carolina Panthers:

Jason Avant (WR) - Thigh - Questionable

Byron Bell (OT) - Toe - Probable

Kelvin Benjamin (WR) - Knee - Probable

Philly Brown (WR) - Ankle - Probable

Nate Chandler (OL) - Toe - Probably

Colin Cole (DT) - Non-Injury - Probable

Jericho Cotchery (WR) - Thigh - Questionable

Thomas Davis (LB) - Hip - Probable

Dwan Edwards (DT) - Back - Probable

Greg Olsen (TE) - Calf - Probable

Mike Tolbert (FB) - Chest - Probable

Fozzy Whittaker (RB) - Thigh - Doubtful

Garry Williams (OT) - Hip - Probable

DeAngelo Williams (RB) - Thigh - Questionable

The list leaves the Panthers a bit depleted at the wideout and running back positions, but most are expected to play.  With Deangelo Williams and Jason Avant both getting limited practice in on Friday, it appears both should be able to play tonight.  Cotchery has been out all week with a thigh injury and did not practice on Friday.  

 

Carolina has brought up Darrin Reaves from the practice squad to add depth in Fozzy's absence.  If Jason and/or Jericho can't go, be prepared to have some Brenton and Philly sightings in tonight's game.

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers:

Dri Archer (WR/RB) - Ankle - Doubtful

Martavis Bryant (WR) - Shoulder - Probable

Ramon Foster (OG) - Ankle - Questionable

Brett Keisel (DE) - Non-Injury - Probable

Steve McLendon (NT) - Shoulder - Probable

Heath Miller (TE) Non-Injury - Probable

Lance Moore (WR) - Groin - Probable

Troy Polamalu (S) Non-Injury - Probable

 

Nothing too damaging here for the Steelers.  Most on this list are expected to play.

Not one bit worried about RB. We basically have too much depth. So this is just us finally being able to use it.

Crotchety is the big one IMO. He has stepped up for those 89 like 3rd down grabs

    • I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.
    • Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.
    • He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
