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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
