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.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By TD alt · Posted

      I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.

      Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
