Panthers will probably win this game, but don't act like a silly goose

The Bucs are awful. They haven't won a game since last year before BOA stadium. Freeman is nowhere near ready to start, Leftwich is continuing his legacy of mediocrity that started when he played in Jacksonville, and the formula for Josh Johnson is simple: Pressure the living poo out of him.

After another unsuccessful drive, Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Johnson walked over to the sideline and asked his coaches for some advice. Johnson, making his second career start, had anticipated a heavy Eagles pass rush. But nothing like this. Not nearly every play.

The Buccaneers' coaches didn't have much of an answer.

"They said they've never seen it happen before, where a team just constantly brings everyone," Johnson said.

Neither had Sheldon Brown.

"This is by far the most we've ever blitzed since I've been here," said Brown, the Eagles' cornerback in his eighth season. "By far."

basically even if he gets the pass out before the blitz gets there he's not that refined of a quarterback that'll make you pay for rushing extra defenders in the first place.

The defense is sorely missing Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber is way past his prime and Gaines Adams has not lived up to the expectations of a top 5 pick at all. Their interior line is as porous as ours is without the injuries, and Raheem Morris cannot get this young unpolished team prepared for gameday.

In other words, the Bucs suck. Plain and simple. They're rebuilding. And they're the worst competition we've faced yet this season.

They're an easy out. If this was boxing they'd be the quintessential tomato can. they will most likely fall easy and inflate Jake's stats and Smith's and Williams and Stewart, while the defense gives up less than 200 yards.

So if/when we do win and get to 2-3, be happy, please, commend Jake that he can at least beat an NFL secondary. But don't announce that he's back and all us doubters were wrong. Commend Fox if you must for adequately gameplanning, but don't talk about how he's still an above average coach and this means the team is back and ready to make the playoffs, because they've got a shitload more to prove and a shitload more work to do to get to that level.

I admit Bucs are awful. But where is the pressure going to come from. Peppers played good this past game. But will he show up this sunday. If peppers only shows up to collect the game check. Then we have no kind of pressure coming from the front four. We already know Ron meeks will not really blitz at all unless he has to. So if pepper don't show ready to play then carolina D will get burnt. If he shows then we have a good chance of winning. That goes the same for carolina offense to. If they show up and play good then we win. If they don't we are screwed. All of a matter in which team shows up this sunday to play. The good panthers are bad ones.

I just get the feeling a lot of people are setting themselves up here for some serious dissapointment.

I mean I hope we win, but we have looked borderline anaemic on offense. How any one can say we definately will win this game I just do not know. We have one win, which came about in a few very fortunate circumstances NOT because of great play.

Do I expect us to win? Of course, but I would not be surprised if we do not.

We have blitzed a fair bit this season and our LBs are picking up sacks...

We are not a bad team. We are actually a talented team that plays well for stretches but not for long enough to sustain drives or avoid mishaps and turnovers.

Just as our team didn't deserve all the crap dished out by the haters after the Eagles debacle, it doesn't deserve profuse praise if it beats Tampa on Sunday by the homers.

Still a win on the road against a divisional foe is precious whenever you can get it no matter how bad they are. And anyone that doesn't know that can hardly claim any great football wisdom.

So I will be very happy if we beat the Bucs this Sunday. Will it fix everything?

For one week it will!!!!!

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
