notes on the bucs heading into the game...

[panthers55]

I hope he does play. Freeman at 80% may be better for us than Johnson at 100%. In any event I doubt he would be much of a run threat making him one dimensional with a sore shoulder and sore hand.

We've had the most brutal schedule in the top half of the season so I can't complain when we face a team like TB. Hopefully some of our guys will try to take full advantage and try to break some records and pad some stats.

I remember us chasing Josh Johnson in 2009. I think that was the game where we rushed our way to the win. That last drive I don't think we called 1 pass. One of those bad Jake games.

But yea, kind of surprising that they are 4-6. Freeman has been up and down this year.

That final drive was awesome! I think we ran the ball like 14 consecutive times, and the Bucs could do nothing to stop it. Now that I think about it, what's stopping a team from doing that to us every week... :confused:

more. looks like price could be a go on the dline.

HolderStephen Raheem Morris sounds like it's status quo on Josh Freeman. Didn't really practice today and will be a game-time decision. #Bucs

HolderStephen #Bucs aren't ruling Freeman out but Morris says Josh Johnson was impressive this week. First time in long time he took all 1st team snaps

HolderStephen If they play Josh Johnson, it'll give the #Bucs a different dimension under center. Not saying he's better QB, but a DIFFERENT one.

HolderStephen Raheem Morris also strongly suggested that DT Brian Price (ankle) will go on Sunday. He worked a little today.

NFLSTROUD QB Josh Freeman said he was limited to throwing passes during pat-and-go period. 'Just trying to ease back into it,' he said.

All starting Bucs Dlineman down?

Nice, looks like a fair match for our starters.

yea I was thinking comparatively speaking...or thinking...

as in our dline outperforming theirs...

This year I notice I compare our dline a lot to the other team. I would hope our Oline would not have any issues with them but knowing how unpredictable they are who knows.

i wish our dline was playing against theirs.

i feel good about our oline playing against their dline.

our oline has been pretty good this year overall.

i don't feel so good about our dline playing against their oline, though. they've been allowing less sacks and QB hits (6th in the league in pass protection and 2nd in QB hits allowed).

It's nice to go streakin'... but I'm not a fan of beating opponents at the expense of injuries to key positions. That's like stealing a hospital patient's wheel chair and doing a jig to celebrate after you stomp their arse in... I mean, was it really ever in doubt? Lol

I'm a big fan of Wins in any shape, manner, or form (outside of cheating).

So you're a huge The Golden Calf of Bristol fan right?

So you're a huge The Golden Calf of Bristol fan right?

Unlike a certain Panthers' fan who root for their team to lose so he can sit and criticize the rookie QB because he can't get over the fact that his favorite QB was traded, The Golden Calf of Bristol's fans do show some loyality.

Oh, I forgot, they got the QB they wanted and is more than willing to demand that the other 23 players show up and help Tim despite his weaknesses. And....surprisingly they do show up and help him win. Maybe the Panthers can take a page out of the Bronco's book of real team work.
