This game I think decides whether Wilks becomes the next head coach.  The players want him to be the next HC, they’re going to be playing their hearts out. 

Also I think Wilks will have a few tricks up his sleeve in this game to secure this much needed win both for the Panthers and himself. 

Score will show somewhat of a close game, but it’ll be closer to a blowout, Tampa just gets a late touchdown during trash time.

26-17 Panthers.

Saw Thomas Davis on the Panthers Huddle and watched his film breakdown of the Tampa defense 

he was extremely confident of a Panthers win  due to Tampa not being able to stop the run ie interior d line getting moved  and linebackers out of position to close 

he said, same problem all year 

the film breakdown Thomas does always makes that show worth watching   (Well the last 10 mins) I believe someone shared the entire show on this board this week

We are either going to blow them out 2014 Atlanta style or the refs are going to push them over the finish line at the end. 
 

Scenario 1: Car 33 TB-14

Scenario 2: TB 20 Car-17

Scenario 2 will almost convince me that then NFL wants him in the Playoffs 1 more time. 

Unfortunately, this is correct.  The trick will be to score lots of points.  I am not saying the referee will try to throw the game for Brady.  However, they are human and may subconsciously give Brady a boost.

These are also the only two scenarios I see happening, which is why when the line opened up at YB -5.5 I was stunned. Kinda worries me that much money came in on Tampa to generate a line like that, they haven't beaten anyone by 6 points since October.

After watching the college games today and seeing (probably) two upsets I just don't know anymore and maybe predictions for playoff games are more meaningless than regular season. This is a playoff game. All bets are off.

Steve Wilks has a better winning percentage this season than all NFC South coaches including Todd Bowles. Darnold looks better than Brady over the last 4 games. Our offensive line is incredibly healthy compared to Tampa Bay's which has been decimated. I think Carolina should win 28-17.

But I don't really believe that we will win. Too much disappointment since SB50.

However, it doesn't matter if I believe. It matters if the team believes. If they believe, then they will win. And if they win, it is Steve Wilks that made it happen, and I will be 100% behind him being the coach. The Panthers are at an inflection point. Tomorrow can be the beginning of the renaissance of Keep Pounding. But if they lose... so much uncertainty over the future of this team. I don't recall a game over the last 7 years that had as much on the line!

This is great. Last 2 games of the season with 3 teams fighting for one spot in the play-offs. Teams 1, 2, & 3 basically needing 1 win, 2 wins, 3 wins [2 wins & loss by #1], in order to clinch the division. All three teams may be facing turn-over in their coaching staffs & rosters [especially QB] depending on the outcome of the final 2 games. Great time to be a fan of any of the three teams. This Sunday, Saints lose big versus Eagles, Panthers win 24-20 over Bucs. Last drive by Bucs stopped by a third-string CB & Carolina runs & runs for 3 first downs at the end to run out the clock. Beware I'm 99% wrong 99% of the time.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
