My quick recap of the Bucs game

Finally got back online (the mobile app isn't loading for me, so that's fun), wanted to share my thoughts on the game - in no particular order:

  • Didn't get to the game early enough to poke my head over at the Roaring Riot tailgate, but I did get a quick chat with some fellow Rioters in the official Rioter section over near the Pirate Ship. They were told they couldn't hang the Roaring Riot banner up anywhere in the stadium, but I did see it proudly being waved around by a few Carolina folk at various moments during the game
  • I did hear a "Let's Go Panthers" chant going on early in the first quarter from the lower bowl. NICE!
  • As usual, there was a fairly large contingent of Panthers fans all over the place. Bucs fans are often really super nice (everyone hates the Falcons more than they do Carolina), and there was a lot of "hey, welcome to town, enjoy the game" camaraderie going on. TB games are always a great place to go for an away game.
  • Yeah, it rained. But it wasn't as bad as that rain-soaked game we sat through at Clemson during season 1
  • It's not my first time to CARvsTB game - but I still think that Pirate Ship inside the stadium is pretty darn cool (I like unique stadium features like that; anything to personalize the inside of the field/arena so it's not so generic vs others is always a plus to me).
  • Bucs fans love to boo their own team.  A lot.  Especially their kicker.  At one point I overheard, "Glad the Panthers scored again; that means we have to go for touchdowns instead of missing another field goal attempt".  They were yelling loudly to "go for 2" every chance they had.  They had every reason to.
  • Another benefit of open-air stadiums? Pre-game flyovers.
  • Love how easy it is to get in and out of the stadium. Plenty of room for tailgaters everywhere, no matter how much space your tailgate needs. 
  • And finally, a special shoutout to the four Panthers fans sitting a few rows behind me in the 300's near the 50-yard line.  Thank you for sharing your Carolina Hospitality by flashing your panties and boobs to the crowd a number of times. (I believe the crotch shots were accidental; the boobs were definitely on purpose.)

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
