Official Panthers - Steelers Game day thread!

[Jeremy Igo]

Stadium will be less crowded than fan fest and the majority of attendees will be wearing black and yellow. 

Two months ago you would have donated your left testicle to science for this game. Now, you are mainly.looking forward to the Rams.

 

Anywho, what are you watching for this week?

This is a fairly important night for him. A good warm-up for week one, presumably.

Show me every special teams play. that is all. Oh and maybe our 3rd round pick could play better than a UDFA.

also score more than 3 points. No team has ever won a playoff game without scoring at least 43 points in the pre-season. We are at 40.

If the backups play great tonight I am wondering if it will make all the Debbie Downers a little more optimistic heading into the season.

Considering its backups playing for a spot on the roster? Urgency and commitment. Ideally execution.

Will Steelers QB Joshua Dobbs shred us again like he did last meeting in preseason is the question.

[ellis]

Artis-Payne will rush for 200 yards, per usual, in game 4.

Go Clemson !

Backup QBs, don't play like complete crap????

Which bubble players will be stashed on IR with “injury “ so they don’t have to be exposed to waivers.  Godwin, Cox, Obada........

Obada is gonna make this team. I know it’s hard to key in on players sometimes but he has been playing really well. He’s big, strong, athletic and smart. And it seems like the game is slowing down for him.

It’s kind of a big night for Vernon Butler.

I'm hoping to not watch any of the key players see action tonight. Meaningless game except for those still trying to make this team or make a case for another team. 

I'll be looking at the OL, the backup RBs, the pass rush (well, the pass defense as a whole), and a STers.

I guess I shouldn't really be paying much to position groups, though, because 1) I'm assuming there will be no game planning so no matter what happens they'll have that excuse and 2) it's pretty much going to be every man for himself.

I know this game is somewhat necessary in deciding who makes it through the cut, but I wish we could jump forward a week to the Rams.
