If we do more passing than running. We lose

September 14, 2003: Tampa Bay scores with no time left to tie Carolina at 9-9, needing only the extra point to win Chris Jenkins blocks the extra point and forces overtime, after, Steve Smith's big Kickoff return gives Carolina good feild position John Kasey kicks the game winning feild goal in a thrilling 12-9 overtime victory over hated Division rival Tampa Bay 12-9 in Overtime! Carolina goes on to a 2-0 start!

TB has a young, inexperienced QB, but he's mobile, very mobile. We ALWAYS have trouble with moblie QBs! TB almost beat Washington, and while the 'Skins have their share of woes, they are a good defensive team, and their QB gave them some fits. At this point in the season, I worry about playing a winless team, if nothing else because of the law of averages. But we were winless too unless last week, and win streaks have to start sometime.

So I predict a "W" by a 23-16 margin.

Go 'Cats!!

[Chaos]

We'll have our sh*t together this Sunday, and I predict a Panther win with a solid run game, 24-13.

But wait....we will be wearing the dreaded blue jerseys.....uh-oh.....

[Kyle82]

After the Panthers rip the Bucs 28-10 the Bucs beg Gruden to come back.

[goodlay]

20-13 Panthers.

[PhillyB]

Ten things that will happen:

1) Thomas Davis will be used to spy on Josh Johnson and put him in the dirt repeatedly, Atlanta style. Two sacks, multiple quarterback hurries.

2) Harris will step up and look like an all-pro, showing why he is one of the leaders of this defense. Either an interception, FF, or really nasty/awesome highlight-reel hit on a Tampa Bay player.

3) Jon Beason will be Jon Beason. Over ten tackles.

4) Pep gets a sack.

5) Delhomme has his best game yet this season. 2 TD, ~250 YDs, 0 INT.

6) Smitty gets his. 'nuff said.

7) Rosario goes batshit insane on Tampa Bay's defense.

8) Rhonde "Rawlings" Barber gets no less than three stiffarms to the face.

9) Chuckie laughs his ass off secretly

10) Panthers get a win.

Panthers - 24

Bucs - 9

Jakes 2 ints. lead to 2 FGs.(He continues to struggle and underthrow receivers)

Do we dare to run them into submission?

Defense and ST continue to improve.

Peppers will be the X-factor.(Hope he shows up again)

Hollis Thomas wears his Pink leg warmers?
