Barely escaping the worst team in the league...

Sure does build some confidence

TB is up there with the Chargers on the biggest disappointment list. They're reeling big time, I say we go in and punch them square in the mouth, including that punk Blount.

Hit em with a heavy dose of our own bruiser - Stewart.

Hell.....let's win out!

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.

I hope we win every game left to finish the season. Be good to have that carry over to next season..

There defense is not as good as our offense.....either.

Bottom line is they are on a 5 game losing streak...they aren't actually a good team. We have taken good teams to the wire. We can beat Tampa.

Cam>Freeman.

We win.

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?

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.

all i look at is points. how many points can a team score. sure, blount might rush for 60 yards on any given drive, but if all they come away with is 3 points, then we can turn around and simply outscore them.

this won't be a defensive battle by any means.

tb's avg. pts scored = 18

car's avg. pts scored = 23 [remember the tsunami bowl, though]

both defenses allow an avg. ~ 27 points/game

i know, i know, every game affects the average. but the statistics tell us to pick the panthers, especially with tb trending down.

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.

Keep it real Panther fans

what do you think is going to happen, TRD?

before the indy game I thought we could steal at least one from tampa bay. they have an awful defense and a mistake-prone offense, moreso than even ours. we are similar teams in that regard, but our offense is overall more productive than theirs.

if they're smart, they will ram Blount down our throats and keep Cam off the field. However, I think we keep up with them and if our defense can get some decent stops we shouldn't have trouble outscoring them. Reality is though our defense will have trouble getting off the field, and Freeman has historically given us some trouble with his ability to convert 3rds. I kinda expect us to split with them.

Our games against TB can really go either way. I wouldn't be surprised if we lose to them this coming Sunday but win in later December.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
