What Buccaneers fans are saying

This week the Carolina Panthers travel to Tampa Bay to face a Buccaneers team in front of no fans, something they have done every season for a while now. But if fans were in the stadium, what would they be saying before the game? 

I searched far and wide for Bucs fans who have well thought out opinions. It wasn't easy but I did find a few. Here are the results. 

From Buc Zone

 

Some Bucs fans are dreading what losing to the 2020 Carolina Panthers rebuild would mean. 

Quote

Gotta think we take the Kitties this week, if not it’ll be a long year and another offseason hype train gone off the rails. As you guys have stated stop CMC and make Teddy beat us, win the turnover battle and we should be good.

The Panthers are not the Saints. They aren't favored to win the NFC with a HOF QB and a long time HC. They are just as "out of sync" with a new QB as we are. Even more so with a whole new offense for everyone else. Not winning this game would definitely be a huge red flag.

This is my main motivation this week. I want the Carolina Panthers to inflict a tremendous amount of chaos and drama within the Tampa Bay organization. Losing to the Panthers would start a panic the likes of which we have never seen since the Jon Gruden Tampa Bay days. Mass hysteria, and I would soak up every single Bucs tear and save them in a special bottle as a keepsake. 

 

Some Bucs fans are more impressed with the Carolina Panthers than Carolina Panthers fans are. 

Quote

The Panthers scare me a bit. They're not good, but nobody has scouted their schemes yet. They have a ton of speed on both sides of the ball, especially at the skill positions. McCaffrey, Robbie Anderson, DJ Moore, and Curtis Samuel aren't the BEST group in the league, but they're all juiced. On defense, even in his first game, Derrick Brown was a Man, and he's going to give our line problems. Brian Burns too. Again, not a great group, but they have guys who can cause problems.

 

Quote

I do know how good or bad Las Vegas is but Carolina is probably better than people thought they would be. I don't like this game for us. I don't think Carolina is a team you can let hang around and I think they can beat a team that makes the mistakes a Bruce Arians led team does.

I think this is a reasonable attitude for Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans. The Carolina Panthers offensive line did pretty well on Sunday. That was the biggest question mark on the offense. If they can continue to play at a high level the Panthers can put up 30+ points all season long. A couple of turnovers by the Bucs and they will likely lose. Sure, the Carolina Panthers are not a playoff team this season, but they are good enough to whip your hiney if you sleep on them for a second. 

 

Score predicitons

Here is a sampling of the typical score prediction from Bucs fans along with a prediction of passing yards from teddy Bridgewater. 

Quote

 

35-14 Panthers

Yucks - 33
Kitty Kats - 24

Bucs win 30-3

 

But my favorite score prediction is right here.

Quote

Panthers 28 Bucs 17

Bridgewater 167 yds passing

Brady throws another pick 6 and the fans start calling for Josh Rosen to start.

My god, to hear calls for the great Tom Brady to be benched in favor of Josh Rosen? My god. What an amazing period that would add to a cheater's legacy.

Not bad.   I personally think they have a get right game against us.   The saints offense didn't really do that well against their defense.  I still have visions of our first game against them last year (cam's last game with us) too.  They bottled up cmc pretty well in that one.  I feel like they win but maybe it's at least close.  Similar to the raiders.  But yea it would be great for them to lose to us and see the meltdown begin too!

Yeah. I can respect that, but no. This should be a blowout. Looking at the schedule best case scenario is we go 0-6 to start the season then our first win happens. Let’s hope it’s worse, for every Panthers fans sake. 

Remember that they will likely be without Godwin and Evans is slowed by injury. All it is really going to take is for us to get pressure on their OL and Brady to throw the typical Bruce Arians offense INT's. 

This one really does have the potential to be much closer than anticipated.

A Panther win would be so sweet!

38-17 Bucs. I think Sunday we find out just how bad the Raiders are. 
 

The Bucs were never going to win that game vs the Saints. It was a tough first game in which they played better than the reaction suggests. 
 

The Panther’s legit might go 0-16, this year. I hope I’m wrong, but I see this team being in a lot of games, just not winning any of them.

bucs win. last week was a big let down and it won't happen again

As a bucs fan I assume this is a mantra, and as a panthers fan I respect that. Can see this going either way, and think both teams will be extremely better as the season goes along.

Completely agree about the Panthers looking better than they actually are against a bad Raiders team. The two teams honestly looked evenly matched and that to me makes the Raiders look much worse than it makes the Panthers look better.

Bucs 45

Panthers 24

Panthers hang around early but Bucs light up the scoreboard against a defense that will struggle to put up a stop.

      Why is Dalton not on IR yet?

      Mike White or Hendon Hooker coming back?

      I understand why you want it to be true that he did not want to draft Bryce Young and personally I feel the same way but we cannot say that and we have Morgan's actions for the last 2 years that reflect the complete opposite. If Dan never wanted him he would have had a fallback plan this year after Bryce opened 2023 and 2024 playing poorly at best and Dan also would certainly have made a move before the trade deadline recently. But none of that happened. That simply does not sound like the actions of someone who never wanted that guy. That's what we have to go by and that's the summary of the situation as it stands however difficult it may be to have to grapple with.

      Canales is telling us, but we aren’t listening

      It is way too early to call Lance a bust. That's the whole point. Lance has ONLY had FIVE starts in his career. He was very very young and inexperienced coming into the league. He never had to play with the big dogs until in the NFL. He never had any business being drafted on day one (and maybe at all). That being said, he showed progress this past preseason, of course in limited work. If you want to label him a legit bust, then some of the retreads you're thinking about have to be busts also. We know what they are however, and unless someone is lying, no one really knows what Lance is yet.  If we can acquire him, we can find out what he is during the same time that the Saints are finding out what Shough is and the Falcons are finding out what Penix is. I'm not suggesting that he is a future starter, but I'm saying that we don't know what he is due to his circumstances coming into the league. Being over-drafted does not set up a young, inexperienced QB for success in any shape, fashion or form.  I am loath to desire a retread, who will likely win largely meaningless games, and perennially screw up our ability to get a legit QB organically in the draft.
