“There were some men that took advantage of some opportunities and they’ll be rewarded”, head coach Mike Tomlin said. Now comes a #neverforget animal advocacy group with its plans to hold a candlelight vigil in memory of all the Shilohs, Fidos and Lassies that Vick tortured and killed.

While the Panthers don’t play again in Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium until September 20, UNC and USC play there Thursday at 6 p.m.in a game that will overlap Carolina’s final exhibition in Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are likely very glad that the preseason is over. It’s the final preseason warm up game before the regular season kicks off in just a few weeks time, and both teams will be looking to finalize their preparations for the new season.
Given what was at stake, the results were disappointing for Tomlin.
Offensive Line: No sacks allowed and 5.7 yards per carry equals a pretty unbelievable night for the Panthers’ offensive line.
Todman had a 49-yard sprint in the second quarter and Joe Webb found tight end Marcus Lucas for a 23-yard score just before the half as the Panthers rolled. The protestors were like thanking the cops for providing them with protecton every two seconds like a bunch of kiss-ups, which is a telltale sign that its someones first or second time interacting with law enforcement. “They really wanted to come out and get some push onto their side of the line of scrimmage, and that’s what we did”.
In hindsight, that may have been a mistake by coach Ron Rivera, who said he played Norman because he was thin at corner. There was a huge uproar when Vick was brought in, due to his criminal past, but he may be playing his way into the hearts of Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
Scobee was acquired in a trade with Jacksonville earlier in the week after Shaun Suisham and his replacement, Garrett Hartley, were each injured in preseason games. The possession ended with another 27-yard field goal from Josh Scobee that made it 23-6 with less than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter.
But Vick has proven in his long career that he’s not only a victor, but the type of quarterback who can make game-changing plays with his legs and his arm.
The Bills quarterbacks went 30-of-33 on pass attempts for 386 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers, while the running game added 156 yards and another three touchdowns.

Jones completed 9-of-11 passes for 147 yards to account before leaving on the final possession after taking a big hit to the ribs from defensive tackle Chad Alecxih, a former Pitt star. He cited linebacker Vince Williams and nose tackle Steve McLendon as two of them.
