Can you feel it...

[Guest Bwood]

Let's just hope next year that we're the first game up, at home.

Buddy of mine asked me if I thought Rivera was the kind of guy who would "take his foot off the gas".

My response: Yes, I think he would take his foot off the gas, and put it on your throat.

Here's hoping we have a good enough team to allow him to do that.

That sounds wonderful but there was plenty of criticism of the team doing just that last season.

I think you're right. No, better yet, I think you're correct.

I agree. No, better yet, I concur.

There's no better time than now - we feel excitement and energy for what could be an incredible season, but yet hasn't been spoiled with any unknown reality. Savor the next few days, once it starts, all the fun of speculation ends.

But there should be no reason to sit on your hands and stifle your enthusiasm until you see this team win a couple of games. The time to be fired up is now!

Definitely some energy in the air. Give me a healthy Beason for 16 games and an overperforming d-line and this team is lethal. No, better yet, this team is deadly.

Better yet, it's fatal. No wait, malignant. We cause death slowly.

Cam is gonna do to the Bucs what he started last season, another 40 pt campaign.

Starters will be pulled before the third quarter. Its gonna be really ugly.

Im tired of losing openers...seems like forever since we have...08 maybe? Anyway just imagine this place if we start 3-0, with two division wins and a win over super bowl champs lol wow. Ill drink gallons of kool-aid then.

I think many Panther fans are "afraid" we aren't going to be good. And that's usually how I felt in the past.

Now, I don't think there is any reason to be afraid anymore. This team can play with anyone, and win any given Sunday no matter the opponent.

So no fear from this quarter of the Bucs, Saints*, Falcons, or anyone else.

We didn't choose to let up, we were just a bunch of noobs.

[Jon Snow]

Gone are the days of sitting, or should I say trying to sit, on a 3 point lead in the second quarter and grind it out on the ground for the rest of the game. No fear! No mercy! That's the new moto of this team.
