PrintCarolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oct 18, 2009 1:00 PM EDT
Are you ready for some football!
I know that's the MNF football slogan but I'm feeling stoked like its Monday Night and my team is playing. I admit it could just be left over euphoria from yesterdays GT victory over VT. Woooo Whoooooo! Is there anyone else happy with yesterday's NCAAF results? But I digress.
So I'm obviously bullish on the Panthers today against their division rival. It's time to even the division record and exit the NFC South basement. It's more a Buccaneer kind of place.
If I had to pick one key to the game for the Panthers its obviously turnovers. The Panthers have not played error free ball yet in 2009, with QB Jake Delhomme carrying a five game INT streak. I'm thinking he breaks it today.
Panthers win, Saints and Falcons lose. Its in the script! I'll stop now before I really jinx us.
This is now an Open Thread & Roll Call!
Go Panthers!

Good luck Panthers, go beat those Bucs....
Cause Jaxon is going to need this CAR win after the beatdown he gets in FF today…lol
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

Nice play by Beason and then Peppers
Stuff the run!

No touch on the long ball by Jake
Just keep running it

Any questions about Jake's arm strength are erased today
Overthrown Smitty by 10 yards twice
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Boy, I'm about done with Meeks
This team looks wholly unprepared. Against the Saints that’s understandable. Against the Bucs though?
Defense is not containing the edges
Playing short zones too soft. No pass rush
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Bad snap or not, how do you kick a 35 yarder short
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Moooose!
We have to pass to set up the run to a degree.

From Sharjah, UAE. Panthers game is not showing so you guys are my eyes for now. Thanks.
Tied 7-7
D-Will cut back left, stiff armed LB Geno Hayes and outran Talib to the corner of the end zone. Sweeet!

Thanks Guys
Waiting for the gamebreak on ESPN…:)
Time for the defense to step up
nice KO coverage!

Fumble by Bucs!
Botched toss to Ward, Hollis Thomas recovers
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Fuuuumble!
Hollis Thomas with the recovery. Bad toss to the RB
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
So we gained 20 yards on the traded fumbles

will get good field position
if we 3-out them

We're playing very well except for 2 plays
Cadillac’s TD run and Stewart’s fumble.
I like what im seeing

Johnson was there too but again Pep got him first

Dont want to sound like a broken record... but...
Why isn’t Brown starting?
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Geeez Jake throw the ball
Of course there was holding…oh wait its on the Bucs…holding Smitty
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
I thought
they weren’t allowed to hit the Center like that when his head was down on ST, anybody got a rule clarification?
FG blocked!!
Jansen got ran over!!! Terrible protection up the middle!

I'll be collecting money to pay for Jeff Faine to get another tattoo
He doesn’t have enough
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Peppers
realizing the trading deadline is close.
(How about Peppers for Cribbs. Get a KR and a 2nd/3rd WR)

I don't think
we’ll get a good pick for him.
Money issues…

RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
Cribbs wants big money though.
I dont feel like overpaying for Dante Hall Jr.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Personally I think he's much better than Dante Hall
he’s a better WR, and can even throw a pass here and there.
Plus, he would really help our returns…

RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
Ultimately though,
We’re not going to trade Pep. It’s distinctly un-Panther like.
I think Hurney and co. are holding out hope he’ll resign

wesley plowed the innocent return man
got ejected

Damn Talib is a thug though...
He was trying to start a melee however possible there
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I think
Wesley thought he was a bocker… and one of the other guys nearby was the Punt returner…
That’s the only reason I can think of Wesley would hit him like that…
On another note, what about the flags that flew during the ensuing melee???
I think that was a great play by Wesley. Sadly this is the NFL, remember next season is flag football ;)
Anyone else feel like the game isnt as close as the score shows?
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I think we're outplaying them
The danger when you’re outplaying a team and the score is close, however, is that they turn it on big late.
One stop, one more score, and the game is over
yup...D needs another stop and then the O can lean on them some more
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
yes and it makes me a little nervous
if we can stop them here, I hope we pound them with the run, The O line is getting some push and Williams has 80+ yards already
Johnson scrambling is the only thing saving them
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Geez if Marshall would have blocked the punter he would have gone the distance
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
The running game is on!!! TD J-Stew
Moose is a beast in the running game

Bucs KO return for TD...our coverage sucks yet again

What happened to Lloyd kicking it into the endzone?
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
What? They picked up a holding flag? Thats crap!
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
If the Bucs are running, they're holding
Only getting called for it 1/3 of the time though

Like I said, gave him a full yard
Yes…Fox throws the red flag!!

Munnerlyn lets the ball drop...cost us 6 yards

Bad throw.
Jake didn’t look off the safety.
But seriously, people calling for Moore need to chill out.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Bucs read that one a mile away
terrible play call..terrible decision to throw it Jake
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
What?
How many blitz pickups or audibles has jake made that has helped the run game?
Playing QB is more than throwing the ball
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
True
but none if matters if he’s going to throw the game away
True Blue Jazz

RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
I agree
but we’re willing to absolve the special teams on the KR, yet Jake throws the game away on an INT?
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Oh
I’m not absolving the ST at all. I blame them first. But Delhomme isn’t helping
True Blue Jazz
I'm on Twitter
RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
I disagree
True, burt the QB should provide you with the opportunity to win a game and not be a detriment to the team. 10 INT for the year so far and cannot get the ball to one of our best players in SS consistently.
Smith has been covered all game.
If he forces the ball, we blame him. When he doesn’t force the ball we blame him?
Jake is definately responsible for some of those INTs, but at least 3 of those 10 are dumb luck.
Talib has had Smitty’s number today.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Jake sucks
I’ve been saying it for the better part of a year now. and throws like that are proof. HE IS COSTING US FOOTBALL GAMES.
Furthermore,
if Jake takes us down the field on a drive and wins the game…. AGAIN then this conversation is all for naught.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Or is it?
Great, he led us down… against an 0-5 TB team that many think/agree is one of the worst in the league this season.
True Blue Jazz

RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
The conversation...
Would have been all for naught if he hadnt thrown a poor pass in the first place.
Clearly our running game is in charge. The fact it is this close is god awful.
We must be able to do something besides run the ball to be competitve every Sunday. This conversation is naught in your mind, however many others believe this is a problem that needs to be resolved for the good of the team.
Of course we need to address the situation in the offseason, when it's appropriate.
I don’t advocate benching our starting QB for a backup when the game is tied though.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Because Delhomme hit King for a TD, the special teams let a TD return, and Delhomme threw an INT. There’s more than one man on this football team, I’m sorry.
Tampa would be winning if Jake didn’t throw the TD to King.
Ever think of that?
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
We'd be winning
if we tackle on ST or if Delhomme doesn’t throw a pick 6.
I think that pretty well takes care of who to blame

One TD and two INTs
Moore could be the answer…we don’t know. But Jake Delhomme is not the answer and is now just more of an enigma. Tampa Bay is horrible and they are keeping it close with a QB with his 3rd start.
WOW
I don't think Tampa's offense is keeping it close
More like Panthers vs. Panthers
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Panthers ....
definitely made their mistakes. Tampa’s Defense has been stout at times. Team effort…right. Wait until we play the Saints, Giants, Minnesota, Patriots….
If we win this game
Jake Delhomme owes the entire O-Line, TEs, and of course Double Trouble an expensive steak dinner.
Yep
and if not that, at least the NFC’s SB team

Minnesota are pretty deadly.
And, the Vikings have more depth.
If Brees gets injured the Saints are done.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
DeAngelo!
Gets TWO steaks. Gratis of Delhomme.
Seriously. Get that beef on the O-Line some Porterhouses ready for postgame.
2-3
I’ll take it… we almost gave it to them, but the running game was deadly.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
28-21 Panthers
Despite a nearly anemic passing effort and special teams that disappointed again.
Nothing pretty about the win, but will take the W.
Smith was shut down with no other receiving threat.. Moose caught some but he’s hardly considered a passing threat anymore… Great blocking thought… The rest of the receivers rest in obscurity for now.
The O-line was dominating...
in the run game and the D tightened things up after the first drive.
Any win in the NFL is a good win,
2-3 with the Bills coming to town. Lets make it 3 in a row!
GO PANTHERS

Fox gives Jake no confidence vote on last drive
Fox’s refusal to let Jake throw on the last drive says volumes. Moore might not set the world on fire. However, I doubt Moore would put our backs against the wall like Jake has done consistently for the past 12 months or so.
Does anyone honestly think Moore will be worse than Jake? I’d hate to think what Jake’s QB rating is after today. If something isn’t working (i.e. Jake), you should try something else.
Gotta say though, the O-line and Double Trouble’s performance on that last drive was inspiring. I guess the Bucs just got more “We were physically dominated.” film room fodder for next year.
WIN!
Two weeks in a row we beat two pitiful teams. This is like winning an ugly woman contest, what have you really achived. The team as a whole is very talented but we are tied to a post called Delhomme and until we get free from that post we are only going to beat losing teams.
'winning ugly women contest" lol....good one
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
That could work...
against the Bucs. A better team, they have to be able to pass the ball.
67 yards for Jake- almost none for smith. 1 td and 2 int’s make it a 42.2 rating game.
Terrible!
The stubborness of Fox and the fact that Jake was paid alot of money to remain the starter after a horrible playoff game is why he is still under center.
Anyone saying that Moore could not do any better, I again say give the man a chance.
Fox will say Jake had a bad day to have a bad day and everyone needs to improve..blah blah blah.
I am pesimistic because I’m staring at the stats and facts and don’t buy into blind loyalty except when it comes to family.
I want the team to have the best chance to win.
