As dumb as the comparisons he makes in the article.. I don't blame many people picking against us.

Besides last week, the 3 weeks prior to that were just awful play. I think we played a lot better in the Green Bay game and maybe John Fox realized we were just totaly in a slump and thats why we opened with a flea flicker, to announce we are going to put up a fight. The only problem was, our defense was still slacking.

Honestly, if our defense can't man up in the Tampa game, it's basically game over I think. Defense needs to show up this week and stop playing 200 feet off people on 3rd and long situations. Granted they did show up the first time around and our offense was the one having problems.. But you never know with this team, it's rare they both do good in the same game.

Yeah!! Thats what makes this team so scary. When you win and not play well is a sign of a great team.

From the skimming this article, SI thinks tampa will win easy cuase we have no second option to steve smith, and tampa's d is better than our running attack is good. Also they think julius is old. wtf...please give your input, and if im wrong or drawing the wrong assumptions from this article, feel free to let me know. :mad5:

I don't know why the media is on this "Panthers defense is old" kick. It started before the 2007 season. Ever since when does 28 qualify as "old"?

As the great Johnny Unitas said, "talk is cheap, let's play'.

If the Panthers lose this game, they deserve the loss. If they win, they earned the win.

Our leaders need to show up. Our players need to be intense and on from beginning to end. Our Defense needs to be disciplined. Our team needs to execute. Our coaches need to be innovative....well, 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

The Bucs won the division last season and are currently in 1st place.

Even if the panthers win, this division will go down to the wire and we will send 2 teams to the playoffs.

Not being a homer but I like our chances only b/c we managed to hold Brees and that offense in check long enough to win. Jake doesn't strike fear in the Bucs D and our run D is stout.

Again, this game is big but not huge. We may meet again.;)

SI doesn't know sh*t, my drunk prediction I made to a friend last night: Panthers win 37-24.

37 points????? Against TB defense?? Bro, you WERE drunk when you made that prediction!! :D

I'm hoping the Panthers will pull it out but it's not going to be a similar score to what we saw last week for sure.

There is not much new in this article, just the same old re-hashing of Smith as our only real weapon, Jake's inconsistency, etc.

The Bucs will be a challenge for sure, but if we play mistake free football we have a chance to win.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
