Panthers need the W to start their three game trip against SF, NE and Miami with momentum. Tampa has to just win a damn game. First game of the division for both teams.. Rivals.. always play each other hard.

[Avante]

Carolina has scored 139 and given up 83. So they are + 46

Tampa Bay has scored 87 and given up 132. So they are a - 45.

Since the last time they played in Tampa Bay....

Carolina 12 wins
Tampa Bay 8 wins

The Buc;s are a bad home team having lost their last six there.

There is no reason at all to see anything other than a Carolina win in this 'spot".

[Raven]

that could be the most irrelevant game, to date.

will it be irrelevant if/when carolina wins out for their game against NE?

another snoozer

Yet another shit matchup of irrelevant teams and quarterbacks on TNF, tbh....

Too bad They are both good QB's tbh and Carolina has the #1 D in the NFL, tbh

[Clipper Nation]

Too bad that Carolina defense is wasted on a career loser like Cum Newton, tbqh....

[Spur-Addict]

I'm wondering when Tampa is going to start playing less zone. Revis at 85-90% is better than most corners in the league. And for some reason, I just don't like Schiano.

Idk what's funnier that coming from a clippers fan or that coming from a chargers fan :lmao

[spurraider21]

Newton has already peaked.

[HarlemHeat37]

Expect Newton to have a good game, tbh, he thrives against these shitty teams..

[Spur-Addict]

It's certainly true that Newton doesn't have a signature win yet. Beating the Skins in week 9 of last year is as close as it gets, although the Skins were a playoff team last year so it's arguable. That Saints team was shit dick last year so they don't count.

Sounds like no one on the team does either :lol

[Spur-Addict]

Neither do any of the ex players. One is reported as saying that playing for Schiano is like being in Cuba :lol





(Minus the beautiful women I'm assuming)

[Chief Brody]

All this week on NFLN they say he's been relishing his new game-manager role. He definitely has the defense to play it...just needs an elite RB too and he could join the other top 2 game managers, tbh

Eh, we sucked dick at that point in the season last year. we were going into the game at 3-5 with the whole team out of sync and garcon hurt. good win for them but I don't remember cam lighting us up that game

this.

the panthers will keep it conservative and pound them with the run and kill them with the play action, no homo. the bucs are a disaster and that team is not going to play hard for a coach they hate. panthers in a route.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

As I said, this is a must win for Carolina. After this we play the Falcons at home, followed by facing San Fransisco and Miami on the road, and we face New England at home inbetween those games. If we can beat Tampa and Atlanta, I would be satisfied going 1-2 in that three game stretch, but I think we could easily go 2-1

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Over the last two games heading into Tampa Bay, Newton completed 35-of-43 passes for 464 yards, four TDs and no interceptions. His passer ratings of 136.3 and 143.4 against the Vikings and Rams made him the only quarterback in the NFL to surpass 136 for two straight weeks. Yeah, not even Peyton Manning has done it.



Newton adding to his resume

Who'd he play against?

[Chief Brody]

btw, Cam better light up this 0-6 team and get the W...a loss and/or a Blaine Gabbert statline won't do him any favors

Schiano might be fired at halftime

It's looking like this will be his last game. The announcement will come tomorrow.

[Chief Brody]

Holden_Caulfield, you might be right about det #1 pick...I'd start getting worried:lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

lol the announcers still sucking Schiano's cock

"You know he's a hard nosed coach who holds his team accountable!"

[Holden_Caulfield]

Holden_Caulfield (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=23326), you might be right about det #1 pick...I'd start getting worried:lol
lol i dont even want the first pick, bridgewater is as overrated as they get. clown for clowney :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Damn, I didn't know Robert Lester went undrafted. That's a great pickup for Carolina.

[Chief Brody]

Outside of their 2011 first rounder they've hit on almost everything lately. Maybe Cam will pan out too, but they only have 3 games left against sub-.500 teams (2 of those being the underachieving, but talented Falcons), so not likely. Carolina only has one given win the rest of the way, Week 13 vs. TB

[symple19]

Cam looked great tonight (against a shitty team). Hoping he can keep it going. They have a shot at a wildcard if they take care of the football. However, I won't be holding my breath.

[Chief Brody]

The Jolly Roger cannon crew is straight trollin' their own team in the 4th quarter:rollin

They get some help with Cutler injured, but they have to beat out Chicago, Detroit, and (what will be) a hard-charging Atlanta team. The game vs the Falcons next week could have far-reaching implications.

[Pelicans78]

Panthers are better than the Bears and Lions if Cam doesn't screw up. They should be a playoff team.

Disagree. Their defense is the absolute truth, but let's not go crazy after 4 games in a row against the likes of Palmer (L), Cassel, Bradford, and Glennon. Their remaining schedule--what are your projections?:

ATL, W
@SF, L
NE, L
@MIA, W
TB,W
@NO, L
NYJ, W
NO, L
@ATL, L

Is 8-8 good enough? I was generous in giving them the split with NE/MIA too, and the Jets are no push-overs.

[symple19]

I gravitate toward DD's assessment... But I'll double down on the turnovers. Avoid those (big "if") and Carolina could sneak in. They're not a SB team, but they could certainly make some noise. That defense is well coached and solid, all it needs is a GAME MANAGER to guide them. If Cam understands that, watch out.



But, like I said, I'm not holding my breath

[Chief Brody]

Just looked at Carolina's whole schedule...they very well could've been 7-0 (the Seattle and Arizona losses completely Cam's fault). Has any team in NFL history ever had such a favorable schedule in the first half of the season? Outside of Week 1 those opponents are hot garbage--even next week's game is against a wounded and vastly underachieving Falcons team.

Their defense is the best in the NFC right now. Their no different than the Niners who have beaten Bradford, Schaub, Palmer, and Locker in their last 4 wins.

i think they will go at least 10-6. They will beat the Saints once and I think they can beat NE at home. But it really depends on Cam because he has the pieces around him to succeed. The black media will always blame Rivera when the truth is Cam has a playoff team around him.

[RGMCSE]

lol i dont even want the first pick, bridgewater is as overrated as they get. clown for clowney :lol

I'd be more worried about them taking Mariota from us. In my opinion he's the only qb worthy of the #1 pick right now.

[Spur-Addict]

That loss to the Bills is what will likely hurt Carolina in the end.

I don't think the Bears are out of it just yet if Cutler comes back in five weeks. They have a bye this week, then 3 out of their next five after the bye are against Baltimore, St. Louis and Minnesota. They'll likely lose their next two after the bye though. And the Bears are capable of beating any of the remaining teams on their schedule from week 14 on if Cutler is healthy. But him being out is a blessing for Carolina.

The 49ers will likely get one of the wild card spots unless a colossal collapse happens. 5 of their next 9 are pretty much guaranteed. But I think they'll only lose 3 of their remaining games.

If the Lions win this week, they may very well win the NFC North division if they can keep Bush and Tron healthy. And at the very least, wrap up the second wild card spot. Dallas, then a bye. Then Chi, Pitt, and Tampa. Then Green Bay, Philly, Balt, NYG and the Vikings LOL That's a very favorable schedule.

If Carolina is for real, they'll likely end up in a race with Green Bay for the last wild card because of all of GB's injuries. But if Green Bay wins the division, I don't think the Panthers have a shot at the second wild card. But the next 5 weeks are about as favorable as it could be for a Green Bay team that's unhealthy LOL They'd have to collapse on the back end with 4 out of their last 5 being somewhat difficult.

I think Jackson returning for ATL will make them a rabid dog, and a spoiler of sorts. So those are trap games. If Carolina makes the playoffs with this schedule, I could only tip my hat to them.

As I see it now, this is what I project for the NFC without seeding. Seattle, N.O, Detroit, and the one lucky soul that makes it out of the east. The wildcards being S.F and Green Bay. Although, Green Bay has the Patriots disease, but also a decent schedule during their time of hardship. But we'll see. Carolina's schedule is just down right nasty from here on out.

The Seattle loss is on deangelo IMO. He fumbled that shit in the 10 yard line with like 5-6 min left

Yeah, let's blame the running back who had 86 yards on 5.1ypc instead of blaming the leader of the offense who supplied 7 points and 125 passing yards at HOME. I know your QB expectations have understandably fallen off this year, but think about those #'s for a second.
