All signs are pointing to a Panthers win unless Brady goes off. Brian Burns can't disappear in this game either because the secondary is going to need his help.

You’re right and I think BB has a huge game Sunday. He’s going against a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers on their line, and an old statue of a QB in Brady. Perfect recipe for 2 or 3 sack from Burns.

Offensively

1) Start quickly by establishing the run.

2) Keep 3rd down distance manageable, limit penalties.

3) Play clean with no turnovers or drops.

4) Convert Red Zone visits with TD’s, play to win big.

Defensively

1) Make a statement and come out popping.

2) Pressure Brady, he’s merely a mortal when he doesn’t have a pocket. As some have stated earlier, with Horn a question mark, the secondary will need help.

3) Convert TO chances and limit penalties.

Panthers - 27

Bucs- 14

We're either going to be in control the entire game and win convincingly or lose by 1 possession. 

Loss of Horn against a talented Bucs WR corp, playing on the road and Brady summoning whatever he has to eek out a last playoff run makes me thing we might see the latter unfortunately. Hopefully I'm wrong. I didn't expect us to beat up the Lions like that. If we can exert our will in the running game, we should win.

Panthers lose.  I don't see us winning unless we blow them out and they play just absolutely terrible.  The NFL wants Brady in the playoffs and they'll do whatever they can to make that happen.  

We'll probably go up a score or two and then the officiating gets bad as always.  I expect at least 3 bogus roughing calls.  Brady will start a comeback.  Wilks will start playing conservative just like Fox and Rivera in the past and "let the defense" win it for us.  They won't.  Slowly as always the game will get close, Wilks plays for a field goal instead of a TD and we miss the FG.  Bucs capitalize and beat us.  The cycle is complete.  

We then win the next game as another "moral victory", lose a couple more draft slots, and everything is right in the NFL world.

I hope I'm completely wrong.

I don't know about predictions, but I feel we have the momentum and juice that the Bucs don't have

 

We are playing with house money.. shouldnt be in this position to win the division..  bunch of underdogs playing hard for a coach they believe in..

 

meanwhile in tampa i get the vibe of a bunch of disappointed "aaaww shuuucks" "we should be so much better" "Man brady is gunna leave" 

 

We comin for that ass

We try to win, but several sacks are negated by roughing the passer calls.

Case in point :

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
