Perhaps we've just been beaten into submission by watching so much of the bad, but the Carolina Panthers actually played some serviceable offense in the second quarter.

They trail Tampa Bay 21-10 at halftime, but there were a few moments there where they looked like a real live NFL team on one side of the ball.

QB Jimmy Clausen has made a number of big third-down conversions, and they scored a touchdown on Josh Vaughan's third NFL carry.

It's that kind of week, folks.

The score was set up when TE Dante Rosario recovered a muffed punt. It appeared Panthers CB Marcus Hudson dragged Bucs special teamer Elbert Mack into the path of the ball, allowing Rosario to grab it on the fly.

That's the first time this season the Panthers have scored a touchdown off an opponent turnover, having scored three field goals previously.

The Bucs scored early int he quarter on an all-run drive, with LeGarrette Blount putting together back-to-back 17-yard runs to score.

Then they added the last one with 50 seconds left in the half on a 24-yard pass from Josh Freeman to Kellen Winslow, a perennially tough matchup for the Panthers.

It's about to get away from them, but there are moments of progress.

Davidson once again is basically the sole reason why we are bad today. Clausen was doing well the first half. The recievers were making catches. Vaughn and Goodson looked good running. The defense and Special Teams were good. Davidson's play calling however was sh**. If they arent going to fire Fox before the season ends, we need to at least get rid of Davidson. He's crippling the team. A sweep on 3rd down? really? A quick dink and dunk on 3rd and long? Among others. He has got to be the worst OC in the league. Oh well, hopefully a no game for the local area will send a message to JR to do something.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
