As the Panthers prepare for their final game of the regular season, Bucs fans would love to see the Panthers be knocked out of the first seed position. 

From Pewter Report

Quote

Either way I consider this a successful season, but if the Bucs could beat the Panthers and take away their #1 seed it would be icing on the cake (this from a draft position guy).

Quote

Again, I believe in tanking when the timing is right, but the Panthers are king of the hill in our division right now. If we can beat them, in a game they have to have, as bad as our D is right now, that can only mean good things for us in the future.

Quote

I just hate the Panthers, and would love to screw up their playoff run.

I respect this type of talk from fans. This is what fans should be doing. The spoiler role is the only thing that is left, embrace it. I know I did when the Panthers were in a similar spot. Good on ya, Bucs fans. 

But others are not as optimistic...

Quote

Oh Goody bad announcers AND...been flexed to later so more will watch as we get exposed on National TV once again...I'd like to be wrong still doesn't change how this season has been.
 

Quote

As long as the Bucs play all of their third-stringers for 3/4 of the game, I'll be happy.

The Bucs won't play their backups. Lovie Smith and Ron Rivera aren't exactly the friendliest pair in the league. Smith would love nothing more than to decrease the chances of a Ron Rivera superbowl by making the Panthers travel for the NFC championship game.

Score predictions from BucZone

Panthers 38
Bucs 17

This one won't be close

I would be happy with this. 

Quote

Bucs 27
Panthers 26

...not so happy with this. 

Quote

Bucs take advantage of mental blow Carolina suffered by their first defeat. Winston plays the game of his life, leading a 4th quarter winning drive, further cementing himself as the future of this franchise.

24-21

I am not so sure their first defeat was a mental blow as much as it is a wakeup call to refocus and work harder. The best teams in NFL history have had the same thing happen, even Ron Rivera's Superbowl Chicago Bears. 

The rest of the Bucs talk is around firing Lovie Smith, draft position and prospects, and 2016 expectations. Their offseason has officially begun. 

That said, all Panthers fans should take a moment and realize the Panthers still have at minimum 2 games left in their season, but hopefully will have a  couple more. 

These are good times, my friends, enjoy.

Man, the way some of them are talking you'd think the Panthers have won the division 3 years in row...oh...yeah...that's right. 

While I do believe that the Bucs will be stiff competition in the future, that future doesn't include this coming Sunday. I think our guys will rebound solidly and get some rest for the next opponent.

One thing the Bucs and Panthers do have in common though...

...neither will play a game in 2 weeks.

Tampa's got a decent team that has been getting better and better. First rate running back, good young QB and good receivers. This is just the kind of team we need to be facing before heading into the playoffs. Our defense will have their hands full and we really need to see them be dominant again. 

It will also be a big game for our offensive line. Sure hope they are up for it.

Panthers 35

Buccaneers 14

Vegas has us favored by 10.5

 

This may be the highest I have seen us favored.

I mentioned in another thread that I would take us -12 against the Bucs. 

So as a gambler, it makes me happy to know that I am pretty damn close to the Vegas line in my prediction, which is usually a decent indicator that you know what you are doing at least to some degree.

There is a rule in gambling on the NFL.  Never bet against a double digit division dog.  I hope we break that rule this weekend.

I have to disagree with you here. Playing spoiler sounds great until that one extra W means you're drafting Blaine Gabbert instead of Cam Newton.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
