That is our problem come Sunday.

555 yards the past 3 weeks. He has done so against better secondaries than ours (for all the people that will quickly reply we have Norman)

We have to win upfront IMO. BIG time come Sunday. Julio is playing the best of his career right now

Bottom line is we've got to score TD's in the red zone...Fans know it, players know it, coaches know it.

 

Julio is playing like the best player in the entire division right now no doubt, but I do think Norman played him as well in the first game as anyone has in the 2nd half of the season, so that is promising.

Norman matches up well against Julio. Did so during the last game. Its Roddy that you need to worry about. Hopefully, Bene will help with that.

Outcome of this game will be decided in the first quarter. If our dline can get pressure on Ryan, he will get that 'deer in the headlights' look again, and the game will be ours. If he gets a comfortable pocket and has time to pick us apart, it will be a long day.

I agree with that. Roddy and even harry douglas in the slot could be dangerous. Yeah Ryan isnt one of those tough qbs. He gets lit up and his fear factor escalates very quickly. Similar to Dalton in that respect.

Yep

 

We can let him go wild on us for yardage and a TD but if we are only kicking FGs then we are dead.

what exactly was his stats against us last time?

So I guess we can pencil in Stewart's stats from last time?

Things change. He is playing better than at any point in his career CURRENTLY.....and will be in the dome not our grass.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
