So...moving on to Tampa Bay

[rodeo]

Our defense has absolutely owned Winston since he came into the league. He always throws multiple picks against us. This will be the ultimate test, if we can't handle him, just watch soccer.

Panthers 69

I don't care if it's 9-6 Panthers. We just have to win.

Jameis is gonna test the secondary. What does their run game look like?

If we lose this game I probably wont have faith in the team to win any other game this season.. losing two divisional games in a row and having to face the saints offense the following week is the worst situation to be in. Hopefully they win but going by what I've seen so far from the Panthers this year, I'm not going to predict victories anymore until I see them perform better. The defense somehow needs to get much better and the offense too.

Ideally DA wins against the bucks and the saints, and Cam comes back healthy and rejuvenated to play the Cardinals at home. 

I really hope we end up drafting or getting through FA a really high quality Defensive End, CB, and a really good RT or LT, or fuging both. And a damn replacement for Shula, which wont happen but a man can dream.  Pressure from opposing defenses, and our inability to pressure opposing offenses has been a huge problem this year and I see it simply continuing until it gets fixed personnel wise. If Rivera keeps his head in the sand and refuses to change anything we will be in for a long and frustrating season or even the next one too if nothing is changed.

Their #1 RB Doug Martin has been out with a hamstring injury and is still questionable. #2 Simms catches a lot out of the backfield but has a minor knee injury but should play. After that, it's the small but shifty former Falcon Jac Rodgers. So they aren't looking real strong in RB department at the moment unless I missed someone.

So we pray to the football gods that Martin doesn't play, Simms isn't 100% and we pressure Winston? Got it.

Yea, I hope he doesn't go Madden mode on us. He's got 3 TD's so far. V-Jax has been pretty quiet so far. One good thing we have going for us is that they have Aguayo. 

One recent Tampa Bay report from an unnamed source said "Having Aguayo is like losing two good men"

I'd be shocked if Cam didn't play.

If he's in protocol and they diagnosed him with a concussion Sunday, he's not playing this week. The team would be crazy to let him. He's the type you have to force to sit.

every game is a must win because its the next one.  Lets hope we can establish a running game next Monday if Derek Anderson gets the start due to Cam's Concussion to help take some pressure off DA.  When DA took over week one 2014 to beat the Bucs we had 113 on the ground with DeAngelo having 72 on 14 carries.  Josh McCown was the QB who threw 2 INTs and held the running game under 100. 

Panthers 27
