It's the way we are playing. Do we not have depth? Those players should not automatically mean we should win 4 or less, I'm sorry but that is ridiculous. We went 8-8 with Fox and basically a whole second string team. I agree that Cam is being asked way too much and whether that will be healthy for him and help him is yet to be seen but so far it's looking ok.

I just have a hard time believing that our team is so horrible we can all sit here and justify a 2 game winning season so far from some BS like new coaching, lockout ETC. How can some teams do it and we can't? In fact there are a lot of teams who have done it. 2 wins come on people we are not that bad and it is not okay.

This week really was a reality check, especially for the defense. Rivera needs to make some major adjustments, because the personnel in there right now is just laughable.

Next week though, there should be no excuses. The colts have literally nothing to play for. If anything, they are looking to lose. If we lose that game, there should be hell to pay for someone.

I was thinking 4-5 wins before injuries and predicted 3-13 right before the season started. So far looks like I'm dead on.

The injury excuse gets tiresome as we had a serious lack of talent before we lost anyone. And it's not like we can expect to go an entire season injury free, especially when we keep counting on guys like Thomas Davis and Otah to lock down starting positions.

And why do people keep saying sh*t like "sky is not falling"? What does that even mean? That things really aren't bad? Peyton Manning recovers and we're the worst team in the league 2 straight seasons. If this isn't bad then what is?

I was originally going to say the entire 2nd half, but 4th quarters is the time the qb has to prove his worth.

How many points have we given up in the fourth quarter this year? (95) How many points have we scored?(53) The offense is not great in the fourth quarter for sure but the defense gives it little chance to win. We have gone into the third quarter either ahead or still in almost any game. But the defense collapses weekly and we struggle to catch up or more accurately score on demand. If we only gave up as many as we scored, we would have won several games given that in many we were up going into the fourth quarter.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
