Panthers will beat Bucs


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

Call me crazy. Call me a pot stirrer. I don't care. Carolina wins this game. Never EVER underestimate a team that has been humiliated at home going on the road the following week. This is the type of matchup between a team that's not nearly as good as advertised versus a team that's not nearly as bad that gamblers love.

The Buccs are a much better team than when we played them earlier in the year and lost. The Panthers are a much worse team than when they played the Buccaneers this year and lost.

Logic says we lose.

The Bucs were last year where we are now.

A rookie quarterback struggling with the speed of the game?

Check.

An offense ranked near the bottom of the NFL statistics in every major category?

Check.

A young team with a 1-7 record at the season's halfway point with no signs of a pulse?

Check.

I would never underestimate a good team coming of an embarrassing home loss, but we're not a good team.

When you add our current situation at HB to our already non-existent passing game I just don't see a win happening, but I'd love to be wrong.

I will root for the Panthers just as hard as ever, but it's gotten to the point where my expectations are about as low as they have ever been.

    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
    • That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
