What Bucs Fans Are Saying

That said, all Panthers fans should take a moment and realize the Panthers still have at minimum 2 games left in their season, but hopefully will have a  couple more.

Its hard for me to believe our last regular season game is just days away.  Thank goodness we made it to the playoffs or I would really be bummed.

what kind of O line do the Bucs have?

I'm going to say something very unpopular here........but if we don't figure out how to pressure the QB we leave ourselves exposed to be shredded in the secondary.......injuries along with age and lack of speed is catching up with the D line and most importantly the secondary late in the season and hit critical mass starting in the second half of the Giants game.....

Look at the last 6 quarters of how our defense played.........

It going to be like starting over here....

Bucs 27.....gulp!.........Cats 24

The only awful qtr was the final vs the Giants. The Atlanta game was pretty average despite one big play to Jones.

This team will suffer no mental lapse...for two reasons:

1.  Comments by Harper, Coleman, Allen, Rivera and others indicate that the team is refocused and ready to show the world they can be better than they were last Sunday.

2.  The team and coaching staff seemed to be truly touched after returning home from a loss, only to be greeted by tons of fans outside of BOA.  This team truly loves the fans and does not want to let us down.

I expect this team to come out fired up and pissed off.  I expect them to be refocused.  I expect them to play as hard as they ever have before, if not harder, and kick ass.  I expect Cam Newton to solidify his case for the MVP award. 

Panthers - 42

Bucs - 7

We played great defense against the Giants until the final quarter...when our offense stopped pushing the ball and the defense got gassed.  Against the Falcons, we played decent defense most of the game, with the exception of third downs.  Julio in the slot killed us.  Julio in the slot kills everyone.  The guy has 1,700 yard on the season...he didn't just rack up those yards again bad defenses.  He can beat good ones too.

In 15 games, compared to the 15 he played last season, Jones has 23 more catches and 129 more yards. If he gets his average (114+) # of yds. against the Saints, he'll have the #3 season all time for receiving yards. Add another dozen yards and he takes the #2 position after Calvin Johnson (1964 yds. in '12). 

The encouraging part is that we likely won't have to face another receiver (except maybe Gronkowski) that can do to us what Jones did last week. That doesn't mean our pass D doesn't have holes, just that they'll be harder to find going forward.

No, we didn't.  We were bad in the ATL game.  Forget scores.  They dominated time of possession and cruised on us most of the game.

    • I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans. 
    • Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all. 
    • I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
