Welp, so much for that underdog role we love..

[lightsout]

We're playing a Jameis Winston lead Bucs team. What idiot would pick TB over us, given how the season has unfolded thus far? How is this a surprise?

[pantherclaw]

Has anybody been paying attention to the bucs? It's a miracle they've eon a game. 

We should be expected to handle them. 

 

We are a good team, accept it.

[gtanaka]

who wouldve thought at the start of the season that we would be unanimous against the bucs but the colts wouldnt be unanimous against the jags...

[PhillyB]

i have hated that role and wanted us to get over it for so long. you know who the underdog is? a  team that nobody expects to win. you know why they aren't expected to win? because they don't. it's fine for one, maybe two years, but to be perennial underdogs means all you do is lose and achiev really nothing and all you have is hopes that maybe...someday...you'll be a winner, but then you won't be an underdog anymore.

teams with a reputation for winning can't considered an underdog.

 

"but..but we never do well when people expect a lot from us!" we need to get over that poo as well.

 

climb on top of that hill and claim your place as the best and dare everyone to come and take you off of it. have some balls instead of being some passive wuss franchise afraid of succeeding because they can't handle the pressure.

came to post exactly this. championship teams don't go into tampa bay as underdogs. that poo's for the birds

[Jangler]

apparently PantherUnited threads are better when he doesnt talk and just post a pic

I learned that lesson a long time ago.

Besides the 03 season I don't remember us getting much respect. And even then it wasn't much.

 It's nice to see it but I don't really care what the media has to say about us.

Hell half of them don't know who's on the roster. Just keep pounding them wins!

Started thread title with 'Welp' - Igo alt confirmed.

[Hotsauce]

Nobody is an underdog when they play the Bucs.

[Peppers90 NC]

if we need the underdog role to suceed, we aren't a primetime team.

[beastson]

Damn this is the most lopsided week so far. Wow, all 1 team picks

[Castavar]

So let me get this straight, people complain when people pick against us, but also complain when people unanimously pick us?
