you have to consider the "Panther way."  We will lose to the Bucs and then blow out the Saints on the last game of the season in a meaningless contest (since Moore took his helmet off).

If we lose to a decimated Bucs team with how our Running game has gone, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Julio Jones

Julio Jones (knee) is questionable for Tampa Bay's Week 17 game against Carolina.

As usual. Jones does tend to play when he practices and he practiced all three days this week, so we'd call him on the optimistic side of questionable. He remains a bad fantasy play as he has not scored since Week 10 and hasn't gone over 53 yards since Week 1. Jones' major fantasy gravity at the moment is cutting snaps for Russell Gage. 

Buccaneers LT Donovan Smith (foot) is questionable for Week 17 against the Panthers.

Smith got in three limited practices and should be regarded as likely to play. He missed last week's game with this listing, and Josh Wells dislocated his kneecap leading to fringe NFL tackle play for the Bucs. Smith has not had a good season, but he should be an upgrade for that as Tampa looks to keep Carolina's defense off Tom Brady

Buccaneers DT Vita Vea (calf) is questionable for Week 17's game against Carolina.

Vea has sat each of the last two weeks, but practiced on a limited basis all three times leading up to this game and should be regarded as on the optimistic side of questionable. It's perfect timing for Tampa in what profiles as a must-win game, as Carolina's rushing attack needs to be shut down and Vea is one of the few humans on this planet who can single-handedly boost a run defense.

They will actually be quite healthy 

Carlton Davis will be out however could be big for DJ Moore

Your point?

The Bucs are still not 100%. 

And they still won't stop the Run this Sunday.

I am gonna go Steelers type game. We just can't get the run established and Brady is able to get a little traction against our thing secondary. 

 

Yeah unfortunately I think this and the refs will push Brady to another playoff appearance

Stat to know: The Buccaneers are 0-7 this season when allowing 20 or more points and are 7-1 when holding opponents under 20 points.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35343574/nfl-week-17-game-picks-schedule-guide-fantasy-football-tips-odds-injuries-stats-know

I see the Panthers scoring 21 in the 1st half and dominating TOP.

I hope you're right. With this team either everything clicks or nothing clicks. The times it doesn't is when you have every reason to think it should. When you think things won't work, we go beast mode.

We already don't deserve to be in the playoffs.  We did run well against them in the W before.  I do not see that changing.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
