you have to consider the "Panther way."  We will lose to the Bucs and then blow out the Saints on the last game of the season in a meaningless contest (since Moore took his helmet off).

If we lose to a decimated Bucs team with how our Running game has gone, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Julio Jones

Julio Jones (knee) is questionable for Tampa Bay's Week 17 game against Carolina.

As usual. Jones does tend to play when he practices and he practiced all three days this week, so we'd call him on the optimistic side of questionable. He remains a bad fantasy play as he has not scored since Week 10 and hasn't gone over 53 yards since Week 1. Jones' major fantasy gravity at the moment is cutting snaps for Russell Gage. 

Buccaneers LT Donovan Smith (foot) is questionable for Week 17 against the Panthers.

Smith got in three limited practices and should be regarded as likely to play. He missed last week's game with this listing, and Josh Wells dislocated his kneecap leading to fringe NFL tackle play for the Bucs. Smith has not had a good season, but he should be an upgrade for that as Tampa looks to keep Carolina's defense off Tom Brady

Buccaneers DT Vita Vea (calf) is questionable for Week 17's game against Carolina.

Vea has sat each of the last two weeks, but practiced on a limited basis all three times leading up to this game and should be regarded as on the optimistic side of questionable. It's perfect timing for Tampa in what profiles as a must-win game, as Carolina's rushing attack needs to be shut down and Vea is one of the few humans on this planet who can single-handedly boost a run defense.

They will actually be quite healthy 

Carlton Davis will be out however could be big for DJ Moore

Your point?

The Bucs are still not 100%. 

And they still won't stop the Run this Sunday.

I am gonna go Steelers type game. We just can't get the run established and Brady is able to get a little traction against our thing secondary. 

 

Yeah unfortunately I think this and the refs will push Brady to another playoff appearance

Stat to know: The Buccaneers are 0-7 this season when allowing 20 or more points and are 7-1 when holding opponents under 20 points.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35343574/nfl-week-17-game-picks-schedule-guide-fantasy-football-tips-odds-injuries-stats-know

I see the Panthers scoring 21 in the 1st half and dominating TOP.

I hope you're right. With this team either everything clicks or nothing clicks. The times it doesn't is when you have every reason to think it should. When you think things won't work, we go beast mode.

We already don't deserve to be in the playoffs.  We did run well against them in the W before.  I do not see that changing.

      PFF: Biggest free-agent bargains of the 2025 NFL season

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      CB Michael Jackson, Carolina Panthers Last offseason, the Panthers re-signed Jackson to a contract that averages just $5.25 million across the two years of his deal, which ranks only 40th among cornerbacks. However, Jackson rewarded Carolina with an excellent season, as his 83.5 PFF overall grade was the third-best among cornerbacks across the entire year. More specifically, from Week 7 on, his 90.7 PFF overall grade led all players at the position, as did his 91.4 PFF coverage grade. In addition, he also allowed a passer rating of just 42.8 during this period, which paced all corners. Jackson capped off his 2025 campaign by being the best player on the field in Carolina’s wild-card loss to the Rams. On eight targets, he gave up just one reception while forcing four incompletions and recording an interception as well https://www.pff.com/news/biggest-free-agent-bargains-of-the-2025-nfl-season-sam-darnold-mike-jackson-and-more

      PFF: Biggest free-agent bargains of the 2025 NFL season

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      RB Rico Dowdle, Carolina Panthers Dowdle signed a textbook example of a “prove-it” type of deal with Carolina during the 2025 offseason. The former Dallas Cowboys runner signed a one-year deal that was worth just $2.75 million, which ranked only 33rd among the annual average earnings of all running backs — essentially meaning that he was not paid as a starter for last season. However, that did not stop Dowdle from racking up the 14th-most rushing yards among running backs with 1,076 during the regular season. Further, Dowdle was essential over a five-week stretch between Weeks 5-9 when the Panthers went 4-1 — recording half of their wins during the entire season over that window. During this period, his 652 rushing yards led all running backs, with the gap between him and the second player (Jonathan Taylor) being the equivalent to the gap between Taylor and the 10th running back. In addition, Dowdle’s 85.0 PFF rushing grade also led the league during this period. Despite not being paid as a starter, Dowdle had a huge impact on the Panthers during a crucial time of the season
