It’s tough to learn anything about a team playing against the Bucs these days, as that massive pirate ship in Raymond James Stadium has started to feel especially appropriate. Every sinking-ship metaphor works right now. The mutiny has already started. Mike Mayock said last night that the effects of a team quitting on its season may start to appear slowly and subtly, but to me it feels like we’re close to rock bottom for Tampa Bay.

Of all the teams the Buccaneers could’ve met on a national stage as their epic flameout really got going, the Panthers may be the most ironic. Greg Schiano wasn’t supposed to be the NFC South coach fans wanted out by Week 8. That was Ron Rivera. Instead, the Bucs are 0-7 and Carolina is 4-3 and over .500 for the first time in five seasons. And the craziest part? They’re even better than that.

Yep, they are better than 4-3!! Sea Chickens one of the best teams in NFL and we let it slip away.  Bill's pretty good team and we gave it to them!!

Cards was the best of those games.  We went in at half time, 3 times the time of Possession as the Cards!!  and we came out after half and died.

Was a wake up call for the Panthers and it showed against Vikes and then again last night.  We got a few extra days to heal and we gonna find out just how good this team is.

The front seven Let Them be" Magnificent  Seven" is going to make every QB a scrambling QB.  No one throws on run as well as they do in pocket with a little time.  Not going to happen, we run them all over place and got rotational guys to do same thing play after play.  Big O lineman gets tired out real fast and D gives ball to Cam and Co. 

All this running make our safties kinda like out fielders, by the time season over with we will have some fine safties!!!

 

Gooooo Panthers

Yep sure hoped it would be like this!!!!!!!!!!!

Were good every season... in the last 6 games. This year we just made the turnaround quicker. So does that mean 16-0 next year?

I wonder sometimes if no one is seeing the play of Thomas Davis. He was outstanding in both run and pass defense last night vs the Bucs.

 

This article doesn't even mention him. Right now he is out playing  Luke.

Someone pointed out last week that offenses are now spying on Keek. I saw it last night on run plays. One of the guards or center would run straight at Keek on some of the running plays. If I were an opposing coach, I might think about doing the same to TD.
