Official Panthers - Bucs Gameday Thread

Today in the season opener the Panthers take on the Bucs in a divisional mathcup.

 

Where: Raymond James Stadium

 

Kickoff: 4:30

 

TV: FOX

 

Radio: 1110 WBT

 

Twitter: I will be covering the game from the sidelines, follow @CarolinaHuddle on Twitter for updates starting an hour before kickoff.

 

 

FYI: Both Cam Newton and Derek Anderson attended the production meeting yesterday. Highly irregular that backups meet with the FOX folks. I have been saying it all week, it isn't gamesmanship. There is a real chance Cam won't play. We won't know until today.

 

Keys to Panthers Victory:

 

Run the Ball - The Panthers may not have Jonathan Stewart healthy all season. Use him while you can, early and often.

Defensive Scoring - The offense may struggle today, a pick 6 or a fumble recovery in the red zone would help tremendously.

Philly Brown - Could be the difference in this game. Hero or goat? A long return or dropped punt?

 

 

Final Prediction:

 

Carolina impresses in a 24-10 victory over Tampa Bay. Kelvin Benjamin has over 100 yards and a TD.

I kept hearing that the QB decision was going to come out yesterday, which was puzzling, but nothing happened. I got to admit, this whole "Will he play?" suspense is really messing with folks. I expect drama today....lol

 

Rumor, I never believed it.

 

Cam is actually questionable, has been all week. Not sure why that is hard to believe. I am tired of trying to convince people.

 

We won't know for sure if he plays until later today.

I think he'll start but might not finish if he looks uncomfortable.

Or he may not start but will come in if DA doesn't look good.

 

 

At this point nothing will shock me.

 

 

Things I do know from first hand conversations within the org...

 

1. Panthers believe they can win today with DA

2. There is genuine concerns over Cam's ribs, they have been weighing that against point 1 all week long.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
