Predictions: Panthers at Bucs

[ThPantherFan]

I have a feeling the Panthers win it.  Brady gets sacked enough to get him fuffled.  When he's ruffled he makes mistakes.

If I’m looking objectively, I concur. If it was at home, I’d think differently but we are 1-5 on the road and the win was in the middle of Seattle’s current 1-5 skid.

I think it will be close but on the road we are not as good.

But we are 1-0 on the road with Sammy D

[Kentucky Panther]

I think we lose a close, low scoring game. The Bucs stop our run game and force Darnold to beat them. Which I’m just not sure he can do.

One thing is for certain, this game will expose how important the QB position is vs a better overall team.  If Darnold beats Brady in Tampa for a playoff spot are we still looking for a QB?

Panthers score 23

Bucs score 13

Refs/nfl gifts bucs 14

 

We  lose 27-23

 

Nfl gets Brady in playoffs vs Cowboys.

No matter the out-come

The Panthers will win if the officials do there job and not try to protect the NFL Golden Boy, Tom Brady, who I feel sure the NFL would like to see in the playoffs.

Plus, no calls by the officials could decide the game, unless the Panthers take it to the Bucs like they did to the Lions.

Exactly, one of the main the keyss to stopping Brady is to get a good push up the middle.

Brady gets atleast 5 roughing the passer calls 

The NFL wants Brady in the playoffs, and the refs are there stooges, this will be superbowl 50 all over again 

The NFL already has their money for the season so it doesn’t matter to them who wins. Refs on the other hand may have allegiances, hopefully not.

Our secondary could cost us this game. Even if JC plays he won’t be able to tackle, Taylor is straight up garbage and Henderson is on and off. Norman being here is a great story but it’s not 2015.

Forgot about my prediction; we run the ball for 200 yards and two scores, Darnold throws a score but has a costly turnover in the 4th leading to a Brady comeback

Bucs 27

Panthers 24

Welp, here it is almost January and we could still make the playoffs.

 

Please tell me what will happen this weekend. I don't mind spoilers.

Panthers - 27

Sucks - 10

We continue to Keep Pounding the rock on the old, slow, broken down Bucs. We run for 190 yards and 2 TDs. Bearded Sam, aka GEQBUS continues his great play going 20/29 for 226 yards and 1 TD, no turnovers.  We get 2/2 FGs from Steady Eddie.

Meanwhile the D breaks it off in Brady and the Bucs O once again. Holding them to 3 points until late in 4th quarter. Much rejoicing to be had in the Bank.

When your o-line is stronger than another teams d-line, then it's going to be the same the second time you play them that season barring injuries. We'll be able to run on the Bucs like we ran it on them last time. Nothing changed. Strength is strength, it didn't disappear. They aren't suddenly going to be stronger.

The main deciding factor is Brady. Will he make the big plays down field or not? If he doesn't, then we run our way to victory.

 

Their o line is seriously banged up. They lost another one this past game, and Whirfs is hurting too. We should be able to whip their asses up front.

The bucs won't even hang.

This game will be over by half time.

Yup. They just look so old and tired. They damn near lost to the 4-10 Cards with their goddamn 3rd string QB. I think we get up big on them and don’t look back. They are injured as hell.

All signs are pointing to a Panthers win unless Brady goes off. Brian Burns can't disappear in this game either because the secondary is going to need his help.
