A must win for Carolina? You bet your sweet hiney it is.

[Bronn]

We'll score AT LEAST 45 points.

I think you're absolutely right, Igo! And I don't say that often (not that you aren't right sometimes).

Excuses are getting beyond lame at this point. The first game was an "I've seen it all before" moment that left a sh¡tty taste in my mouth.

If we lose this game Dave Tepper shouldn't let Ron Rivera back into the facility. From the field straight to his car. We will mail your s h i t  to you 
Ron. Good Riddance 

[MountaineerChemist10]

If we lose, we're done.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Week to week, year to year the same issues are discussed with this team. Tepper had an opportunity to turn this franchise on its ear and set it on a modern NFL path.

Fail.

[Tbe]

It’s not just a win. The win needs to be convincing. The Bucs suck. Cam needs to look good and so does the D. 

If this is a loss or a close win, we are pretty  much done.

[TheRed]

Honestly we should have forced an interception in the first half against the Rams the way Goff was throwing the ball. We need to be more opportunistic against a Bucs QB known for putting passes in jeopardy.

Don't mean to derail the thread, but didn't think this was worthy of starting a new one...

Planning on going to the game tomorrow. Tickets are available all over the stadium. Are the 500 seats okay or should I shell out a little more for the 200/100 sections?

This is my first time at BOA. I left Columbia to go to college and join the Navy - all at once, and never moved back to the Carolinas. I've been to every Panthers game in DC/Baltimore (including preseason), but never to a Panthers home game. Don't judge me I had/have young kids. 

Appreciate the feedback!

[Daeavorn]

we need to create pressure on Winston, every one knows he can't handle it and starts throwing picks.

Will we actually use our 3 man front and rush Burns upright instead of putting his hand in the dirt? Who knows?

 

Offense needs to hit the long balls and make them respect our deep game. If they know they can crowd the line its gonna be a long night.

[Waldo]

The two home loses would bother me. That was a point of emphases this year and we are already in the hole. 

As for being done? Statistically with a SB probably but I haven't thought about the SB and Panthers since the offseason began. Not seriously anyways. This was a prove it year, it's either missed opportunities or a step forward. Losing at home would be a huge missed opportunity for this team.

[Captain Obvious]

prepare for disappointment. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

if we lose this game, and its a possibility with moRon as hc, we are picking top 3 in the draft.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

2nd game of the season is a must win?

For the season - Nah

For this place - Absolutely

[pantherj]

I don't count a game as a must win until it can mathematically eliminate us from the playoffs. However losing to the lowly Bucs would be good evidence that this team is probably not going to be good enough to make the playoffs.
