Why game vs Bucs will probably not be a blowout

Have seen a few predictions on here about how Carolina will dominate tomorrow, and on paper we should. Also looking at how both teams played week one most people would assume we win easily.... not so fast my friends.

Four out of the last six games have been decided by one score. Yep, this Bucs team that has been terrible for quite some time seems to find a way to make it tough for the Panthers to beat them. 

All of the simulations I have seen say we win, more than a couple say we win easily, just don’t be surprised if it comes down to a game winning last drive and Slye The Swole Kicker shows us he belongs in the NFL.

While most may seem confident in a win, I haven’t seen this team show urgency in quite some time.  Couple that with the fact that we are suspect on Thursday night games I have serious concerns whether RR can actually get these guys off to a fast start.  And if we let them hang around, the less confident I become. 

Not trying to be a downer but show me some guts coming out of the gate tomorrow.

You also have to factor in who was playing in the last 6 matchups against TB. I think Derek Anderson was starting at QB in one game and another game Cam shoulder pain was significant. Typically Tampa needs us to play sloppy and turnover the ball to compete. My concern is that the Panthers have a tendency to play down to its opposition instead of pouncing on teams that they are significantly better than as of late.

In the last 12 Thursday night game in which a home team is favored by more than 6 pts, the home team is 11-1-1 against the spread. 

Panthers are currently 7 pt favorites. 

Statistically speaking, this game shouldn’t be close. 

Now that’s a stat I could get to like.  Until we go on the road next year back to Pittsburgh on a Thursday.

Panthers have agonizingly, historically played down to their opponent, even during the 15 - 1 season. This is a "cultural" thing that needs to change... WIN the games you SHOULD win, and do not make it so hard (given, sometimes it just happens). Very good point!

      Those last two plays before the last FG, we could have burned them so hard - but it is risky with even a better QB. But not sure they would have used that strategy against a better QB.  In any case Rico had no hope of breaking through that.

      One more win and it matches Wilks’ win total, he was the leader of the last 5-6 years. You have to go back to Tepper’s first year where Rivera won 7 to beat it. He won 5 the year he was fired.

      I watched a clip of all the offensive snaps. Young threw into some tight coverage and the guys made some plays on the ball. He also really missed some throws.  He has this middle of the field thing into a tight window pretty good and made three or four nice plays but he was just too inconsistent with his accuracy especially in the red zone. Today and in general.    That Int where people were chastising Legette for ‘not fighting through the coverage’, he in no way could have gotten to that ball. IMO. I think he thought it was going to hit the ground and didn’t see the defender coming for it. But not sure what he could have done. The camera doesn’t show the spatial relationship very well, I think the ball was way off. maybe 6 feet or more off target to the inside of the field.  Rico is a beast. And a very good receiver.   That was my impression without dissecting and rewinding, just letting the video roll. I did rewind the int two or three times to look at that one.
