So...moving on to Tampa Bay

Monday Night at home. A team the Panthers have dominated in recent years. Derek "Bucfuger" Anderson likely starting at QB. Finally a chance to turn it around? Sad to say the Bucs and Panthers are pretty evenly matched right now and it could be a close game.

A loss would all but end the season, but I'm cautiously optimistic the Panthers can pull this game out. 

Panthers 30

Bucs 26

I dont know man...teams already know know pressure is what beats Cam behind our suspect O-line. More so given a backup QB. I think Andersan can ball out...but iof teams can put that much pressure on us with Cam and all of his ability to run....well...it doesnt look good for Anderson.

 

I wont bother to speculate a score. dont care. So long as we win.....but damn....if he cant protect Cam...i dont see how we can protect Anderson.

I mean if we got blown out I wouldn't be surprised. I could see Jameis having his official coming out party much like Romo did back in 2006. The Panthers secondary is pretty awful right now. If you've got Mike Evans in fantasy...START HIM!

This is why the play calling has to make the defense stop sending pressure.  Run plays, draws, screens, etc are all anti-blitzing plays.  Until we stop standing there exchanging punches, we're going to have a long day.

Agreed...but we had all offseason to draft that blueprint since we were exposed. Yet,we didnt. If we couldnt do that over the offseason and camp...i dont see how we suddenly do it within a week. Either way...keep pounding!

Matt ryan was just throwing it up with his eyes closed sunday.  I understand it was hulio most of the time but tampas recivers are high quality also.  

Im not really sure what the answer is.  You blitz linebackers the middle is WIDE open.  You dont winston stands there and waits for a reciver to just run right past the corners zone into the gap.  Its almost to the point of going to man and just seeing what happens.

I think the Bucs are looking at this as a get-right game. Our boys seem to be down and out right now. We'll see though. Regardless we follow this up with a trip to New Orleans where they are sure to put up 40+ on us. How'd we get here...........

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
