Our injury report heavily outweighs their’s by a multiplier of 3. I don’t think we get this one, even with the stars aligning.

What injury report are you reading? Can you share with us please? Their missing their top rb/wr playmaker that they have also missing their starting safety and best CB. We’re down one starter Chinn a few guys may be banged up but good to play if not we’re down a few backups as well nothing like ATL missing key players on O and D. Reread the injury report because you seem confused about who’s out.

Horn is still out, correct? 

The Buccaneers game has really warped perceptions around here about the problems with this team. Defensive breakdowns in pass protection were still a problem on Sunday but the Buc's offense is dysfunctional (see last night) The Mike Evans drop changed the whole outlook of the game. Buc's also can't seem to stop the run, which inflated the appearance of a successful run game. Brady was good on 1st and 2nd down, but the 3rd down attack was very poor. They refuse to run, letting the D get pressure on a wrecked Buc's oline. 

The Bucs also cant run the ball (worst in league) which allowed the defense to get off the field faster than any prior game. Brady plays poorly when pressured, and his oline is broken and ragtag. 

Meanwhile, on offense, the WRs got separation on Sunday primarily because of the Buc's injured secondary running Zone defense on key downs, and the run game keeping the defense honest. This accounts for the improved separation on both TD plays and most of DJs receptions. PJ only had to pass 16 times, as the RBs carried the scoring drives. 

The offense was actually having most of the same problems, especially in the 2nd half with three and outs. I think we got lucky with bad defensive calls in/near the red zone. Going Zone coverage against 2minute offense played into our strength. 

It seemed like a game where everything went right, for the most part. 

I think it's a winnable game, but I don't know if after rewatching the game if I can credit this team with figuring it out so much as catching the Bucs at the perfect moment to be handed a game.

Our first 4 losses were due to an absolute horrible O, particularly total ass QB play.  Total ass.  Baker had a 14 QBR in one game.  The Huddle was talking about the good OL Darnold days.

Replacing Baker with PJ was "figuring it out."  Had we let PJ throw beyond the LOS against the Rams, we might have won that too.

In the end, the Bucs were missing 2 starting CBs, and their OL has been decimated since preseason.   

I agree, we hit the Bucs at the right time, like the Saints last year. 

PJ is going to be good, until the ints start rolling in.

There's more wins ahead, unless the FO trades away more players.

Betting on the Panthers to cover at -6.5 has gotta be one of the easiest bets of the season.  Not surprised it has now moved to -4.  I think we win this one pretty easily.

Panthers 24

Falcons 13

PJ goes 17/25 210 yards 2 TDs 1 INT

We run for 150+ yards

Panthers win .  21 - 17

Remember how great we were after 3 games last season ?  then the wheels ( Rhule ) fell off ..

Sunday will be our High Water Mark for the season.   We Will WIn and be in First Place for a Week.

Then we watch ,,   Cincinnati L , Atlanta ?  Baltimore L ,  Denver , yeah they suck, ?? Seattle ???  Pitt , they suck too ???? , Detroit , perennial team that sucks ????? Tampa , will the wheels have come completely off for them ??????   and  Nu Auleans  they suck too  ???????  

We could go from being first pick in the draft to drafting about 20th ....  and we need a QB

Hard to say.  This team was robbed in the Cleveland game and could have quite easily won the Giants game as well.  As terrible as the season has been we're a couple bounces away from a 4-3 record instead of 2-5.  

Win or lose, we'll be able to put the Bucs game in better context after this Sunday.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
