It's a Trap!

I hereby am officially designating Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a trap game. 

Here are a few of the factors that went into making this official designation. 

- Record flooding in Charlotte a distraction, especially to the players with families. I know my thoughts will be at home, so will theirs. 

- Terrible officiating , as outlined here by our own PhillyB. Also, it appears Carolina is getting the worst of the worst, as far as officials go. 

- Tampa is not as bad as you think. They defeated a Saints team with Drew Brees in New Orleans in a much more convincing fashion than Carolina did at home without Drew Brees. 

- Division matchups are rarely anything but a dog fight for the Panthers to begin with. 

- Although AJ Klein is a good player, missing Luke Kuechly started to show itself last week. Tackling was very sloppy. 

In conclusion...

Take this game against Tampa Bay lightly at your own risk.

It took one of Cam's best performances ever to knock off a brees-less Saints team.  Take away Norman's INT, and we likely lose that game. 

With all the noise last week before the NO game about how we were going to dominate them and then didn't, I'm hoping the players may have learned a lesson.

Agree.

 

Plus with the bye coming next week it's easy to overlook Tampa, Winston actually looked good in Houston, his number may not show it but if there's any fan base that knows not to judge a QB's performance by the boxscore it's this one. Winston got the Cam treatment and was letdown by multiple drops by his WR's.

 

Missing Luke his huge if it's rainy and it becomes a battle of running backs, the Bucs OC said yesterday the Panthers D is pretty vanilla without Luke.

 

It'd sure suck having to sit on a loss to the Bucs for 2 weeks...

The players were saying this? I must have missed that.

Not sure if the players did, but pretty much everyone else did.  Did you visit the board last week?  If you hear something enough, even it's outside of your little world, you have a tendency to start to believe it.  Lighten up dude, it's Friday.  We get to drink booze if we wanna.

It's amazing how well a shitty team can look when they are allowed to hold all game.

Fans are not players. No players said that.

Other than a few homer fans here, that's about it.

I'm sure some players read the huddle, but luckily they aren't nearly as fragile or fickle as some of the people here.

      Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.

      It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
