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.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Green-Ghost · Posted

      One thing to remember is the armchair quarterback rule. It is fun to speculate, but, keep in mind. We did not have this knowledge back then. I think this depends upon how you bench young.  Does he get benched but continue to learn and develop under a veteran quarterback or does he get benched with the decision to cut him next season? My thought on any new quarterback is to have him play behind a veteran quarterback for the first season.  If you play the rookie quarterback immediately, it would be like throwing the non-swimmer into the swimming pool to see if he/she will sink or swim. in this case, I actually think it was a blessing to play young through the whole season. Here is why:  I am personally concerned about young’s physical ability.  Size,  etc.  If the physical ability is a problem, it’s best to find out now rather than during the second season. Having young play through this entire first season also allowed young to become experienced. Obviously he is not a bad quarterback yet, but he is no longer a rookie quarterback and he now has experience.   I think the real question here is how long do you play young this season before you drop him altogether? By the way, I have a different opinion regarding Tepper throwing water on a fan.  How do we know if the fan was possibly cheering an injury?  What I heard was a fan was cheering an injury to a Panther player.  I am not saying that what Tepper did is acceptable but I am saying it was understandable.  It is human nature, the person who retaliates always gets noticed and suffers the consequences.

      Well, we all need to use our brains too...not just our eyes.  Our eyes tell us that Bryce was objectively bad last year.  Our brains are what allow us the critical thinking to deduce why Bryce was bad, which is the crux of the disagreement.  Perhaps Bryce just doesn't have the tools to be a starting QB in this league and this season will confirm that for us.  But you seem to not even be able to fathom or acknowledge the possibility that Bryce's poor play (i.e. bad footwork, bad downfield accuracy, bad decision-making, etc.) could in large part be a product of abysmal circumstances including poor coaching, poor playcalling, poor pass protection, and a poor receiving corps.  You call them "excuses", which they are, but how can you not understand that those can very well be inextricably linked?  It's like getting punched in the stomach repeatedly during karaoke night and then people complaining that your singing was off pitch.  Are you actually a good singer?  I don't know, that performance really sucked but I'm willing to give you one more song under better conditions.
