Official Panthers - Bucs Gameday Thread

Today in the season opener the Panthers take on the Bucs in a divisional mathcup.

 

Where: Raymond James Stadium

 

Kickoff: 4:30

 

TV: FOX

 

Radio: 1110 WBT

 

Twitter: I will be covering the game from the sidelines, follow @CarolinaHuddle on Twitter for updates starting an hour before kickoff.

 

 

FYI: Both Cam Newton and Derek Anderson attended the production meeting yesterday. Highly irregular that backups meet with the FOX folks. I have been saying it all week, it isn't gamesmanship. There is a real chance Cam won't play. We won't know until today.

 

Keys to Panthers Victory:

 

Run the Ball - The Panthers may not have Jonathan Stewart healthy all season. Use him while you can, early and often.

Defensive Scoring - The offense may struggle today, a pick 6 or a fumble recovery in the red zone would help tremendously.

Philly Brown - Could be the difference in this game. Hero or goat? A long return or dropped punt?

 

 

Final Prediction:

 

Carolina impresses in a 24-10 victory over Tampa Bay. Kelvin Benjamin has over 100 yards and a TD.

I kept hearing that the QB decision was going to come out yesterday, which was puzzling, but nothing happened. I got to admit, this whole "Will he play?" suspense is really messing with folks. I expect drama today....lol

 

Rumor, I never believed it.

 

Cam is actually questionable, has been all week. Not sure why that is hard to believe. I am tired of trying to convince people.

 

We won't know for sure if he plays until later today.

I think he'll start but might not finish if he looks uncomfortable.

Or he may not start but will come in if DA doesn't look good.

 

 

At this point nothing will shock me.

 

 

Things I do know from first hand conversations within the org...

 

1. Panthers believe they can win today with DA

2. There is genuine concerns over Cam's ribs, they have been weighing that against point 1 all week long.

      Shiiiiieeettt (RIP Isaiah Whitlock), this offense could’ve used those 700 yards lol, but I get it, not at the price he was asking for.

      Has any team tried putting him at middle linebacker? This is one of the more puzzling draft busts I can remember he has top 1% measurables, played multiple positions in college and obviously had the production is it the systems he has always been in? Jeremy Chinn looked like Sean Taylor in Phil Snow’s defense and then couldnt get on the field with Evero

      Canes vs Pens 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      I've been critical of the organization's lack of urgency in addressing the goalie situation for a few years.  And it started with the annual injury reports when Freddie was a good goaltender. He got hurt every season, missing stretches of games, yet the Canes insisted on keeping him.  At least when Freddie got hurt, it forced the Canes to call up Pyotr, who was eventually given a heavier workload when Raanta's game went south. Much the same situation now, except the Canes don't have a backup plan and, right now, they can't assign Freddie like they did Annti. So, while the Canes can swing for the fences and bring in a Guentzel, Raantanen or Ehlers, the same can't be said for the goalie situation. And, yes, this team plays 2 different styles of hockey depending on who is in goal. Not a recipe for success. The Canes will be eliminated in the 1st round again this year. The Canes have 15 losses, Freddie has been in net for 11 of those. That number becomes more glaring with each loss and if the situation is not addressed, I fear the fanbase is not going to be very forgiving in Lenovo the next time Freddie is in the lineup.
