So next week’s game against the Bucs is definitely rigged, right?

This is a losers mentality. We have to go out and stomp on their balls from the first whistle and never look back. If we jump on them like we jumped on the Lions and the Seahawks the refs won’t have an options to throw the game for them. Just all depends on what Panthers team shows up on Sunday. If we play like we have in our recent wins, sky’s the limit. If we play like we did against the Steelers it’s gonna be tough. But let’s be real here, the 4-10 Cardinals, on their 3rd string QB gave the Bucs all they could handle and very well shoulda won that game going away last night. No excuse for that game to go to overtime.

This.  We need 2 wins to get in.  If we can’t seize the opportunity and win both we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs

In addition to the Brady angle, there is also Wilks' participation in the Flores lawsuit against the NFL. Successfully leading a team to the playoffs that had looked looked like the worst team in the league and traded away it's best player would seem to strengthen his lawsuit.

100% Rigged....don't forget Wilks is a part of a lawsuit as well!

Is he? All the more reason for the NFL to let him win.

If Wilks has success, wouldn't that be evidence that he is a good coach and that he did get a raw deal on Arizona? Wouldn't that make his lawsuit stronger?

Perhaps. It’s a low value target though.

This. Curb stomp them and make the refs irrelevant.

If you, or any of us for that matter, were actually playing in the game then you might have a point about “losers mentality”. But you aren’t. None of us are. So I can’t really see how this thread on an obscure message board is going to have any impact on the game.

Yep.  A little too much. 

I mean, who couldn’t forecast the end of the game last night.

The Panthers have to accept there will be 8 in the box 

this will be Darnold’s game to shine when he gets the chance 

they have to accept that middle must hold for the run and pressure Brady. He hates up the middle pressure 

with horn out, it’s a terrible blow as playing man is going to be rough and playing soft zone is right in Brady’s sweet spot 

finally, not over pursue as Brady gets rid of the ball quickly 

the Bucs have a very injured oline but the Panthers players have to execute everywhere 

I’ll say the Panthers win this game owing to the poor oline of the Bucs and the stronger oline of the Panthers 

The ‘Rudys’ win 21 to 16
