Schedule change: Panthers to face Peyton, not Eli in preseason

   The Carolina Panthers will face a different Manning in the preseason this year -- Peyton instead of Eli.

   The NFL announced a schedule switch Thursday that calls for Carolina to host  Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in their first exhibition game Aug. 9 instead of the Eli Manning and the defending champion New York Giants. The NFL said the change was made to accommodate stadium availability and local television partner commitments.

   The Giants will now play at Detroit on Aug. 7 in their first game instead.

   The rest of the preseason remains the same. On Aug. 14, the Panthers will travel to Philadelphia for a nationally televised

contest on FOX at 8 p.m. Then August 23, Washington will make its first visit to Bank of America Stadium since the 2005 preseason to play the Panthers. Carolina will conclude the preseason with a trip to Pittsburgh August 28. This will be the 10th time in franchise history that the two teams have met during the preseason, making the Steelers the Panthers most common preseason opponent.

You mean the Panthers will face Sorgi instead of Carr, right?

Too bad, I was kind of looking forward to that too.

Steve I guess the real reason why we play the Colts and not the Giants is because David Carr has ask the commissioner To change the schedule and to make sure that the Giants won't play the Panthers in Charlotte so he won't have to hear the Boos from the fans
