Quote of the Week III

"I can take getting beat by a better football team. I wish they were.''

-- Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris, on the Carolina Panthers.

Hmmm. Panthers beat the Bucs by 19. Panthers outgained the Bucs by 100 yards. Josh Freeman was sitting with an injury, yes. But I wonder how Ron Rivera's going to take being demeaned like that after a 38-19 road victory ... particularly with the Bucs visiting Charlotte in 19 days.

One more note: Carolina and Tampa Bay are 4-8, and the Panthers, by virtue of the tiebreaker, are in third place in the NFC South. The Bucs are dead last.

That quote's the definition of bulletin-board material for Carolina.

The whole press conference is posted here:http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2011120407/2011/REG13/panthers@buccaneers#tab=recap&recap=quicktake&menu=highlights (might need to find it in the menu on the right)

You wish they were the better team? Dude, you just got creamed in your creamsicle uniforms AT HOME. Raheem...been nice knowing you. Wonder who the Bucs will hire next year?

While the Rex Ryan approach isn't a good one in my opinion, I don't think they fire him this year. The players all love playing for him and he's young and energetic. But hell, maybe coach's have a shorter leash these days, so I could be wrong.

As for that comment he made, I was a little pissed when I read that too. I guess people are STILL having a tough time coming to grips with the fact that the Panthers are a 100% different team in almost every aspect than last year...

I typically stay clear of post game trash talk, because i don't think it's classy unless the opposing team was going overboard prior to the game.

But now I can't wait until Christmas Eve. We're gonna slaughter you again Raheem and put an end to your miserable little coaching career.

Didnt they show a stat during the game that Cam had more yards than the entire Tampa offense? It was during the 3rd qtr IIRC... But, yea..its too bad we're not a better team than the Buc's...

In this league, youre only as good as your last game, and Raheem? Your last game you gots your asses whooped...

bucs fans want him gone... he can't really handle both HC and DC... not to mention he lets his OC do an end around on 3rd and short. pretty awful. sent price home for unsportsmanlike but didnt do it to talib in the london game? doesn't make sense. you never know with the glazers though. theyre pretty lazy and more focused on soccer. dominik seems like a good GM who can grab good talent (freeman, penn, joseph, mike williams, the young DL, foster, etc) but the coaching just isnt getting it done.

but anyway yeah i hope we beat their asses again lol. wonder if rivera will field a question about it this week and how his response will be.

Damn, is everyone on this board marginally deaf? Between Smitty's yelling and Raheem's presser you guys have serious hearing issues (and SI fugged up the transcript.)

He said "Which they were, make no mistake about that."

In what context does "make no mistake about that" work if he said "I wish they were?"

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
