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 :

My god...We are absolutely going to lose next sunday if we don't get out to a fast start and just bury these fools.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
