Bucs vs. Panthers: Game Day Open Thread

Here’s an open thread from anyone who wants to comment during the game. Also, if you are unable to watch the game I’ll be giving commentary on the key plays as best I can. I’m on kid duty today so in between referring brawls between my boys and keeping them from destroying the house I’ll report on brawls on the field and watching the Panthers destroy the Bucs!

My game day musings:

• Is this the week Dwayne Jarrett comes off the inactive list? I wouldn’t be surprised that when that happens the Panthers trade or cut Keary Colbert outright right then.
• How much will Stanley McClover play today? I’ve talked him up so much I hope he at least makes one play to talk about.
• Will David Carr play like we know he is capable of playing? I actually find myself not too worried about this.
•Will the Panthers finally generate a pass rush? We need to be a little more creative in our blitzes.
• Will DeAngelo Williams finally break a big play? He’s been close a couple times. He’s due.
• Will Steve Smith bounce back? Of course he will. How did that thought ever even enter my mind?
• Finally, will the Panthers home field actually provide an advantage? I know the Cat Man has been trying to come up with some type of cheer to fire up the home crowd. Let’s keep an eye out for that.

Go Panthers!!!

[Update: Weather Report - Charlotte, NC - 82 degress, sunny, pleseantly warm - End Update]

I must concur that it's a beautiful day as well here in Charleston! Maybe a couple degrees warmer, slightly windy.

David Carr
The Winston-Salem Journal has more insight on David Carr and how he's been received in Carolina.

http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ%2FMGArticle%2FWSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArti cle&cid=1173352940611&path=!sports&s=1037645509200

"Really, all he said when he came in was, `Let's go,' " fullback Brad Hoover said. "And that's exactly what we did. We didn't miss a beat. He came in and played with great poise and confidence, and I think that's what you get with David. He's confident. He comes in and he's efficient running the offense. You know, we all make mistakes, but I think he did a very good job at Atlanta and he's been very capable throughout the whole training camp and preseason of doing what we need to do.

"We're not going to change anything for him. The thing is, if any guy goes down, you have another guy to step in. They know their job, they're trying to execute the best they can, and that's the way this whole offense works."

I'm going to change my prediction for offensive MVP to David Carr. It seems obvious now. In order for Steve Smith or Drew Carter have a big game Carr is going to get more credit for that, and he should. If the Panthers win this game it will be because David Carr came off the bench and delivered.

Michael Gaines Scored

for Buffalo. It was a key score. Good to see he's doing well.

Falcons beat the Texans, fairly easily

The Falcons and Harrington showed that their good showing against Carolina last week was no fluke.  Everyone here, including me, was disheartened by the Falcons' showing against Carolina, blaming our defense for a poor game.  Maybe that needs revision.

Defensive Line-up

Anderson in for Morgan at MLB
Cooper instead of Mauel at FS

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 4:10 PM EDT reply actions  

Garcia scores TD

I can't believe we didn't nail him. Looks like someone good have laid a hit on him.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 4:16 PM EDT reply actions  

You called it AJ!

Carr went deep on the first play! Incomplete though, out of bounds. 3 and out. suck.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 4:23 PM EDT reply actions  

What happened?

What happened on the two passes?  Did Carr look bad or what?

by A J on Sep 30, 2007 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

Bad pass by Carr

Threw it high and wide. 4th down. Not looking too good so far.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 4:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Cadillac is hurt

His right leg got caught up under him. It didn't look good but I don't want to speculate further.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 4:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Do we have 11 men on the field?

TB looks unstoppable.  Peppers is the only guy on defense who hasn't made a tackle yet.

Does the offense look out of sync, or is Carr just off on his passing?  Is he being pressured?

by A J on Sep 30, 2007 4:44 PM EDT reply actions  

Panthers Just Getting Killed at the line

On both sides of the ball for the most part. The Bucs O-line is driving us back.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 4:45 PM EDT reply actions  

Deep hole

We're in a deep hole already, without a glimmer of light!

by A J on Sep 30, 2007 4:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Carter almost had it

he made a beautiful catch but couldn't hold on once he hit the ground. That's the catch we need him to make.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Panther O not clicking

Next possession they just need to keep in the ahnds of the RB's, on runs and passes.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:10 PM EDT reply actions  

Beautiful play fake by Garcia

He fooled everyone. Hilliard bobbled it, if only someone was there to hit him. T. Davis was covering him

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:12 PM EDT reply actions  

The blitz worked!

Yes! Finally a stop. 4th down. Still got the FG. 17 pts looked insurmountable given the way they are playing. Come on Panthers!!

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:16 PM EDT reply actions  

Nice Catch

and then a nice block for Jarrett

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:22 PM EDT reply actions  

Halftime - This game sucks

I'm resisting criticizing Carr, I played him in fantasy! Why oh why? I jinxed us.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Very disappointing

I was hoping for Carr to have a good game.  Don't tell me about the defense.  The score says it all.

But what's happening on offense?  No running game.  Just no blocking for run or pass?  Why is Carr so ineffective?  Being pressured?  Passes being dropped?  Throwing poorly?

Is there any hope in the second half?  Carolina gets the kickoff.  If they could get a TD, al least they're back in the game, if the defense could stop TB for once.

by A J on Sep 30, 2007 5:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Another lousy game for Peppers

8 defensive players have 2 or more tackles.  Peppers has one.  Defense has no sacks, no interceptions.  But fortunately, neither does TB.

by A J on Sep 30, 2007 5:44 PM EDT reply actions  

Defense gets a stop

Plenty of time to come back. Just need to score before 3rd qtr ends.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 5:59 PM EDT reply actions  

Kemo delivers!

Goal line stand by the Panthers

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 6:12 PM EDT reply actions  

Offense does nothing again

They are not throwing the ball downfield or to the middle of the field either

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 6:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Nice blitz by Marshall

Finally some creativity! Forces Garcia to throw it away. 4th down.

by Jaxon on Sep 30, 2007 6:25 PM EDT reply actions  

TD for DeAngelo

It was like suddenly with 2 minutes left they figured out how to attack this defense. Passes up the middle, Carr running for yardage and screens to D-Will. Damn, Carr didn't play good but I thought it was a poorly called game for the offense too.
