OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD - PRESEASON GAME 1 - 2026 Panthers @ Bills

WSOC-TV for local viewers.

Another "First" for the Panthers (and Bills).  Today's game will mark the very first game ever in the brand-new Highmark Stadium.  

Hopefully we'll get a good look at the Starters for at least a series or two.  There are a few of the rookies I'm excited to watch but not sure how much any playing time they'll get.  

Here's to the start of an Injury Free Preseason!

D stepped up in the rz.

Bryce is still 5 foot 9 with a noodle arm. It's not going to change itself.

Is the Shout Box open. ?

Hmm did Canales take over play calling duties again ?

Really really really disappointed in first team offense play. I realize they’re not “opening the playbook “, that we had two offensive linemen out, but I can’t single out an offensive player that did anything positive.

Offense came out flat.  Saw nothing I was hoping for from Bryce, especially after all the great things that have been said about him in  training camp.    I think Haynes just made the 53.

And Evero...I know the D is "vanilla"..but were they really just supposed to stand back and watch the Buffalo QB's complete wide open passes all over the field??

Our 2s, 3s, 4s on DEFENSE -- WTH. !!! 

The Bills just ran right at us and we let them do it.!! Over and over again... Same old thing. -- SMDH

WHICH.... Proves at least one thing.  You can't put a team of rookies on the field and expect them to perform. There has to be a solid core of experienced vets out there -- or the rooks will fall apart.......
