All I know is we win this game and we're 3rd in the division. Progress baby, progress.

Freeman has been turning the ball over alot, we should have two or three picks this game.

I see a big day for Cam and Smitty. Smith always shows up for divisional games. But I wouldn't mind if double trouble went off on them like they did a few years ago.

That Monday Night gm vs Tampa was my favorite Panthers gm of all time.

Def in my top 3 also. I personally loved the '03 playoff win vs the giants 23-0 in the meadowlands. A lot of new yorkers learned who the panthers were that day

That was '05 homie.

Both teams terrible run defenses aside, we need this to win:

1. A couple takeaways (which I think we can manage)

2. Keep our D off the field as much as possible with long sustained drives

3. No Cam INT's (We're 3-1 when he doesn't throw any pics)

I know it's usually not that simple, but we will win if those 3 things happen. Almost guaranteed.

If one is suppose to buy into the belief that Cam having an INT free day means a win, then u folks should be 5-6 by now.

And keeping the defense off the field sounds like u want ur offense to do all the work while ur defense do nothing.

We're gonna win, I can feel it

I've got bad news, guys. In addition to having to share a field with these scumbags, we've got to watch them in orange pukesickles jerseys for a second year in a row. It's bad enough having to watch their pathetic excuse of a team that they don't even make their own fans sit through most weeks, but now they have to spend three hours looking like dog vomit doing it:

I was there...it was incredible in person. I really hope to relive that experience every Sunday...

why is #90 sporting a camel toe?

Tampa sucks IF...IF you can take Blount out of their gameplan. You don't take him out by stopping him, you take him out by scoring points.

Cam will need a great game. This is the type game you don't want Chud to run, run, run like we have in so many he has failed to do. You want to pass and get up big early.

right.

If we stick to the run, pound them, score early, not settle for Field Goals, and make some stops on D.

I love our potential.

wrong. see CRA's posts.

Run it down their throat. We win, we stick Tampa at last place in the South. How nice would it be to finally get out of the cellar?

wrong. see CRA's posts.

Running it down their throats will let them keep Blount on the field countering back.....

Need to pass....force Tampa to take Blount off the field. they simply aren't good when they aren't running Blount.

absolutely correct.

we run up the score early and you end up keeping blount off the field, forcing them to keep the ball in the air.

they aren't at all a high scoring team. they aren't a team that does all that well keeping teams from scoring.

we should be able to get on the scoreboard quickly early and often and that happens best utilizing the passing game heavily.

the biggest reason we have lost games this year is by not realizing how weak our D is and counting on them being able to keep the other team from scoring quickly, a job they aren't capable of. we have tapped on the brakes too much on offense and have pulled the reigns back too much on the passing game. only way we win this year is by trying to run up the score, rather than trying to control the clock.

an effective run is important to winning, but that doesn't mean quantity of runs or having a "balanced" 50/50 run: pass game.
