Players out

[raleigh-panther]

No Ginn, no Stewart, no Coleman and of course Whittaker

defense needs to show up Sunday

 Newton will need to carry the load

Stewart, if not now, when.

[The Lobo]

Yup. This game is huge. We win without them we will be fine for playoffs. Does anyone know the Bucs players that are out?

[Smithers]

While any injury sucks, this injury list certainly is not debilitating.  Some of you guys overreact for no reason.  

[Inimicus]

The lack of Ginn bothers me most.  (Im pretty shocked I just typed that)  We are deep at RB, not so much at WR.

[Paa Langfart]

Time for the young guns to step up.

[Mother Grabber]

Funchess will have a 10/150/2 day.

[ThPantherFan]

Devin will carry the load for the WR's and of course Olsen will be himself. 

[Castavar]

I know CAP better run the ball more than 5 fuggin times. He was criminally underused last week when he was torching the Falcons

[raleigh-panther]

Expect 8 In this box and TE doubled.  

[KillerKat]

We should probably start Funchess with Cotchery and have Brown in the slot. Brown was effective from the slot last year and stretched the field more than this year.

Ron said it today: this is a big game but we're still going to play bigger ones. Would you risk Stew, Ginn, Coleman being more injured even in a win? Maybe you would: I wouldn't. I'll take having those guys be fully healthy on the road (if we were to lose) than not have them at all at home. In special seasons (especially championship seasons) guys have to step up. Looking forward to see what these young guys do with an awesome opportunity. This game is big for so many reasons other than this season alone. Can't wait.

If we don't win this game we are going to be at a major disadvantage going into the playoffs barring an Arizona upset in the divisional round. I am most concerned about Stewart's injury as this will be the third straight game. I have a hard time believing he is "resting" in such a crucial game.

Starting to question the heart of some of our players...already know Stewart has none...this is a huge game for us and we need all on the field...

We also need to field our best team in 2 weeks.  If those guys are dinged and the rest can help, then let them rest.  next man up.  I remind everyone that the season was supposedly over when KB went down, so I have confidence that the players will step up when called upon.

My biggest concern with ginn being out is punt returns. Could be a nightmare again.
