Who?

The Bucs, Ourselves, and The Refs

 

Call me crazy, but I think we could very well be heavily penalized come Sunday. Cam called out a prominent Ref, and the Ref Association not surprisingly backed that ref.

Me personally, I'm preparing for every big play to get called back for holding or some other BS ghost call.

Yeah, one would think that because it may be expected, the refs might not be as bad on us to not look like it was some sort of payback. There's no telling.

Me personally, I'm prepared for a frustrating afternoon of football. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I hope that my hypothesis proves to only be paranoia, but my fear is that I'm right, but I don't want to be.

 

Its not really even that far fetched since we seemingly get screwed by the refs anyways tbh

honestly, I was scared of this exact same thing the moment the CAM/Hochuli thing became a media frenzy. 

the NFL doesn't like CAM to begin with .... it's gonna be a tough battle all season. 

how can the NFL not like Cam Newton? He's the best athlete in the league and is practically a saint to younger fans as he always makes camp and hospital appearances, he's great on the sideline and he's the face of the #17 $$ grossing Franchise in the league.

He's a media darling in Charlotte, but every where else he's hated. Must suck to be a covetous individual when we, as Cam fans, get to live vicariously through our Panthers.

We have played through the refs for three games...and WON those games.  Hell, Brady sued the damn NFL and has been on a tear to open the season.  I say we win easily.  The Bucs suck plain and simple.

I hope we win this game. I watched most of Winston's collegiate games and while he has good footwork in and out of the pocket, he is terrible at looking off defenders and telegraphs his passes. 

He throws a good catchable ball which gives or DBs more time to react and track the ball.

my over/under int thrown by Winston is 3, especially considering their line is nothing special and he has 1 dangerous downfield receiver and dink and dunking is only gonna be a practical approach if both TD and Luke miss the game due to injury.

He's great but people don't want to recognize all the great he does. They labeled him as a thug that wouldn't be any good in the NFL and they don't won't to ever admit they are wrong. So of course he'll never be no Andrew Luck, or Russell Wilson or any of the NFL golden boys according to them

    • I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)
    • To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.
    • Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
