At the half: Bucs 14, Panthers 7

The Panthers and Bucs swapped touchdowns in the second quarter, allowing the Bucs to take a 14-7 halftime lead.

The Panthers showed a pulse on offense, with coach John Fox going for a fourth-and-4 at the Bucs 37 and turning it into a WR Steve Smith touchdown pass.

But then a defense that looked salty at times lost it, allowing the Bucs to match.

Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman should have been sacked twice, by Charles Johnson and Eric Norwood. But when they failed to tackle him, he threw a 40-yard strike to TE Kellen Winslow, which was followed by a 35-yard scoring pass to WR Mike Williams.

It was as bad a two-play stretch of team defense as they've shown, after some encouraging signs moments earlier.

The Panthers seemed determined to run the ball, and RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart combined for 15 carries for 81 yards. Good start, but there were still too many missed opportunities, and it's hard to believe they're actually losing.

      Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
