OFFICIAL Panthers vs Buccaneers Game Day Thread

[frankw]

This passing offense maxing out at 14 points is more than just a talent issue. Someone needs to be sent to the shadow realm for this poo.

He isn't showing much to suggest he can elevate mediocre play though. When things go well, he can connect. When they don't, the magic isn't there yet, and that's ultimately not good enough in today's NFL.

2 great drives in the first half, first and last one, and arguably Bryce's best deep ball ever on a 50+ yard TD pass to Thielen. Horrible offense otherwise. Defense was non-existent.

Its almost like they think a great qb doesn't have to play 4 quarters or something. I dont know what it is

Wouldn't even be mad if we went OL with our 1st rounder

He through for right at 200 yds... again. That is his ceiling. 

Meanwhile Drew Lock scored 5 TDs today.

Glimpses of a legit QB is all we ever have and will get.  A couple of legit NFL drives a game mixed in with a bunch of duds.

Tampa knew we had no running game and they got ahead.. They knew we had to throw the ball and they feasted in the second half. Especially with thielen and coker being the only people on our team that can actually catch the ball

Nabers was 7 of 8 on targets for 171 yards. Meanwhile our rookie body catches everything and can't win at jump balls

I predicted this going into the game. A blind man could see that coming from a mile away. What I didn't see coming was how bad this defense could truly be scheme wise. It needs a complete overhaul. Sadly we also need another RB and a couple more WR's as well.

Yeah I'm off paying Higgins. Fix the defense

You did keep hearing the commentators talk about Tampa's unlikely supporting offensive cast, right?  Besides Evans, they had a bunch of pups and backups for pass catchers.  It goes to show scouting and development is crucial for young players to flourish and the Panthers suck at both.

Ehhhh, whatever.

Now bring us a figgy pudding
Now bring us a figgy pudding
And bring some out here

And we won't go until we got some
And we won't go until we got some
So bring some out here

Defense looks close to 85 Bears level with maybe a small tweak here or there. 

"Clutch Eddy P." continuing to kick his way into Canton. Get homeboy that big ass extension he wanted last season.

Running game of non names looked sharp as a fuging razor today carving that bucks defense to hell and back. Looked like a bunch of Barry Sanders clones running behind our wll of protection. Two thumbs up from Ebert (I think Siskel is dead unfortunately?)

D-Coordinator showing why he will be a head coach next year. Booooyahhhhh

Get everyone a pink Louis Vuitton bag and some premium Salisbury steaks stuffed inside for their efforts today.

Perhaps the entire team should suck Thielen off for showing them how an old Viking shipwrecked from the land of miniature soda handles business even for an old gray beard.

Peace in yo ass grease fellas.

Yeah, but Evans and Irving were better than anything we had today. We definitely need to draft and develop better. Been like that for years though

I fear there isn't enough cap space or available FA'S to do much before the draft. Dan better be able to find 3 or 4 studs in the draft. I'm not sure what they do about RB and WR.
