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.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
