The 2-1 Panthers sat idle during their Week 4 bye but in many respects still saw their season outlook improve. Here are five ways Carolina “won” their bye week: They signed Eric ReidThe Panthers clearly needed more than Colin Jones to replace injured starting safety Authentic Christian McCaffrey Jersey , Da’Norris Searcy. Reid should be a solid starter and shore up a position of need. The Falcons lostThe Atlanta Falcons dropped a soul-crushing game to the Cincinnati Bengals to fall to 1-3.In most years the Panthers, Falcons, and Saints are battling for the NFC South title and Wild Card playoff spots. Every Falcons loss helps the Panthers playoffs odds. Fitzmagic went “poof” Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers were the toast of the NFL after a shocking 2-0 start. The last thing the Panthers needed was for the usually hapless Bucs to suddenly become competent. But after a Week 3 loss, the Bucs then got destroyed in Week 4 by the Chicago Bears, 48-10. It’s a relief to see the Bucs are still the Bucs. The Eagles lostWhile the defending Super Bowl champs are struggling a bit, they could still be in the mix to challenge the Panthers for a Wild Card spot. The Eagles Week 4 loss to AFC’s Tennessee Titans drops them to 2-2 and helps Carolina’s playoff aspirations. Turner and Samuel practicedAn early bye week is normally a bad thing, but it worked out well this year for the banged-up Panthers. Trai Turner and Curtis Samuel have both returned to practice. Getting an extra week of rest was definitely helpful. Not a bad bye week, all things considered. With a winnable home game against the New York Giants coming up this week http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-mccaffrey-jersey , the Panthers season is looking up.Panthers 24 Steelers 39: 6 winners, 3 losers in Panthers’ preseason finale loss The Panthers closed the 2018 preseason with a 39-24 loss to the Steelers. Thankfully the results of this game don’t matter because the Panthers did not look good at all tonight.Let’s take a look at some winners and losers from tonight’s action.WinnersMose Frazier: I don’t think he’ll make the 53-man roster, but I do believe that Frazier earned himself a spot on the practice squad after his efforts tonight. He looks like he belongs out there, and I think the Panthers would be wise to keep him stashed in case of an emergency.Cameron Artis-Payne: CAP came to play tonight, and it showed in the first quarter. He may have only had 35 rushing yards, but he did that on five carries. For a game that had few bright spots in it, he was one of them. He looked like he wanted to take the No. 3 running back spot, and I think he did. Daeshon Hall: Hall sacked Mason Rudolph on third down to force the Steelers to punt. It was one of the few bright spots of the night for the defense Cheap DJ Moore Jersey , and it came at a good time for Hall, who has struggled this preseason.Taylor Heinicke: He played well in the first quarter, and I think he played well enough to win the No. 2 quarterback job over Garrett Gilbert. It’s up to the coaches now, as Heinicke did everything he could to convince them that he’s the right man for the job.Kyle Allen: He played pretty well in the second half and might have done well enough to find himself on a practice squad somewhere. It’s hard to really analyze anything since he was playing with and against players who won’t make a 53-man roster, but he showed potential and could get some phone calls this weekend if he doesn’t make the Panthers practice squad.Reggie Bonnafon: Bonnafon performed well in the second half. He hustled down the sideline and stopped a defensive touchdown, and he also found the end zone himself. He made the kind of plays that a guy should make when fighting for a spot on the roster. I don’t think he’ll make the 53, but I think he put himself in the conversation for a place on the practice squad. |
