Panthers will beat Bucs


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

Call me crazy. Call me a pot stirrer. I don't care. Carolina wins this game. Never EVER underestimate a team that has been humiliated at home going on the road the following week. This is the type of matchup between a team that's not nearly as good as advertised versus a team that's not nearly as bad that gamblers love.

The Buccs are a much better team than when we played them earlier in the year and lost. The Panthers are a much worse team than when they played the Buccaneers this year and lost.

Logic says we lose.

The Bucs were last year where we are now.

A rookie quarterback struggling with the speed of the game?

Check.

An offense ranked near the bottom of the NFL statistics in every major category?

Check.

A young team with a 1-7 record at the season's halfway point with no signs of a pulse?

Check.

I would never underestimate a good team coming of an embarrassing home loss, but we're not a good team.

When you add our current situation at HB to our already non-existent passing game I just don't see a win happening, but I'd love to be wrong.

I will root for the Panthers just as hard as ever, but it's gotten to the point where my expectations are about as low as they have ever been.

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
