The way I see it, Bucs fans should be thanking the Panthers. (We, as in us, didn't do a damn thing but smile a lot.) I see it as highly unlikely that the Bucs will come out flat two weeks in a row, and it's much more acceptable to lose to the Panthers than the Falcons. (Believe me, we know the shame of giving the Falcons a win. It still gives me the gas.:( )

IMO, we didn't expose the Tampa defense's weak area. We were just really that good last night. The Bucs have been solid defensively all year. Maybe it was the absence of Jovan Haye??? Who knows.

Regardless, Tampa won't be embarrassed like that twice in a row. The best thing Atlanta has going for it is Matt Ryan. He is good enough to beat the Bucs through the air if they shut down the run. But again, the Bucs are plenty pissed right now and will be looking to smash someone in the face. Bad luck for the Falcons.

So is Atlanta your most hated rival?

Toss up between Atlant and Tampa, based on personal preference. New Orleans has the worst fans, IMO. One "good" season and they think they are the poo. At least Atlanta has boasted like three winning seasons this century (even if they still haven't put two back-to-back yet. lol)

If you want awful fans, go to Cincy. They could be winning the Super Bowl by 20 w/ 3 minutes left and they'll still complain about everything they can think of. Their home games look like away games. You should see their stadium when Pittsburgh comes to town...ALL Black and Gold. It's actually quite embarrassing.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
