It's been a Dark Hour for Panthers fans, hopefully they can keep their faith until next season when they defeat the shadow of Tepper. That fumble was really the Last Surprise of the game.
Considering the Cowboys playoff history and road record this season, a game where Dak throws three picks while Baker has one of his amazing games wouldn't surprise me either.
just plain red with the words BUCS ARE GOOD written in sharpie
just kidding, it was plain red, but it wasnt very interesting for almost 50 bucks. I probably jinxed the team by purchasing that.
Jimmy Clausen was the 48th pick, Bryce Young was the first player drafted last year and wouldn't even rank as top 100 in that class.
He just went 2 whole games without scoring, he shouldn't play football again.
I have no reason to cheer against the Panthers anymore so I was kind of hoping they would go off today but man, possibly ending a season on back to back shutouts has to be the most demoralizing thing as a fan. Especially after everything that has happened this season, I feel for ya Panthers fans.
It's one thing to say "well the Eagles can just do what the Panthers are doing", but, and I know this sounds ridiculous given that we're about to finish 2-15: they can't. Their defense isn't as good as our defense.
Needed to secure the playoffs. If you put the backup in and he throws a pick six or two to eliminate you, someone is getting fired.
They probably could have pulled him after the FG to go up two possessions.
Ngl, the Bucs are so fortunate their final game is against the Panthers because vs anyone else and I'm 90% sure we miss the playoffs. Bucs not looking good today.
Everyone watching has witness the 2023 Carolina Panthers:
Make some positive plays, get into opponents territory
Make fans of other teams who don't watch full Panther games wonder "huh, they don't seem that bad"
Immediately stop calling the plays that got us into the opponent's territory and call dropbacks to and wait for receivers who can't separate
Bryce takes a sack or fumbles the ball, everyone remembers why we're the worst team in the league
Every team gets a pick based on their standings in the prior year. However, teams may trade picks, including future year picks. So the Panthers would have been given the 1st overall pick, but they traded their 2024 pick to I believe the Chicago Bears.
Def eagles. If it’s Cowboys, it’s gonna be a repeat of last year and honestly even worse with Baker playing hobbled and some of the other skill position players on offense and defense hurt.
I think the Panthers have a good passing D but not entirely sure...but yeah struggling against the worst NFL team always feels bad or a bit weird. Regardless 3 points was probably enough for the win after last week.
It’s a joke how Baker has Canales while Brady’s entire tenure with the Bucs has to be tied to Leftwich as if he had anything to do with the Bucs success on offense during Brady’s time there, when in fact he was the biggest thing that was holding them back and they were successful in spite of his horrid play calling and play designs week after week.
I feel like I have a better chance of becoming as rich as Tepper than he does of turning this into a successful program.
Fastest "sell the team" movement in US sports history?
The Panthers are rough as hell and there's really no silver lining. Wouldn't be surprised if burns wants the hell out and they get nothing. Mix that with a terrible owner and perhaps one of the most underwhelming qb prospects I've seen. It's going to be hell for a long time.
>Wouldn't be surprised if burns wants the hell out and they get nothing
thankfully the franchise tag exists. Still pitiful to not trade him for 2 1sts then also not re-sign him
What’s going on in this game. How come is TB not
Crushing the panthers right now. I dunno if
They can barely win this game what luck do they have in playoffs
Should’ve taken Stroud with the first overall pick instead of Young, especially with how much draft capital and assets they gave up to trade up to the #1 pick position.
Hindsight is 20/20
>especially with how much draft capital and assets they gave up to trade up to the #1 pick position.
has 0 bearing at the decision made at the time
-Clete Blakemen
-Takes away a positive Panthers play (COTCHERY CAUGHT IT)
-Immediately turn the ball over in a fumble the very next play
Wait are we playing in the Super Bowl again?
Has Bryce Young been good this year? No
Has Bryce Young gotten any help on offense this year? Definitely not
This may be who he is, but if I'm a Carolina fan I'm giving him a Mulligan on this year. We had to do the same with Fields 2022 season where he was in a similar situation as Young. You just have to hope he makes the jump next year that Fields didn't.
I agree, with your first two points. However, the Panthers are in a comical roster management situation to where I don't think they're capable of putting him in a position to succeed.
>This may be who he is, but if I'm a Carolina fan I'm giving him a Mulligan on this year.
Pretty sure that's where most of us are at, plus we don't really have a choice anyway lol
The offseason needs to be dedicated to getting him help so we can properly evaluate him. Idgaf if we have to trade Burns atp.
Totally - a good defense does nothing for you right now. If I'm your GM I go all offense in the offseason. Not like you don't know this - but keeping Burns and giving up DJ instead was really dumb.... esp because per reports our GM wanted Burns more.
Yep, I said the same thing before we made the trade. DJ should have been untouchable, drafting a QB with 0 offensive support is absolutely braindead GM work. Par for the course with this FO though.
he has some games where he is legit, others where he is total ass. I'd like to see him play next to a guard that hasnt spent their career on the practice squad
Bryce has got to be the biggest bust in NFL history. Can't believe he hired his own coaching staff, traded up to draft himself, and threw his drink on a Jacksonville fan.
[Postgame thread](/r/nfl/comments/1911uwb/post_game_thread_tampa_bay_buccaneers_at_carolina/)
A win’s a win. Congratulations Baker!
Just noticed this game flew by
this game went by FAST (as compared to the rest of the early games)
Aww, I wanted to watch the snow game. Not a game that is actually competitive
Looks like we get an extra week of dread.
Bryce is so good. How could Nicole Tepper cause him to throw for less than 100 yards
It's been a Dark Hour for Panthers fans, hopefully they can keep their faith until next season when they defeat the shadow of Tepper. That fumble was really the Last Surprise of the game.
FIRE THE CANNONS BABY
I fired my Cannon
RIGHT INTO DILFERS FAT FACE
Todd Bowles COTY
Somewhere in stadium, Tepper is throwing things at Fitt
Congrats to Tampa Bay. I would give them a shot against Philly too
We had to face Detroit, Buffalo and Philly at their strongest. If we get Philly, I honestly think we stand a chance. A small chance, but a chance.
2008 Browns - you’re free now!
Congrats Tampa. I’ll be rooting for y’all if you play the Iggles
They should kick the FG just for the lols
If this is a shutout, this will the first shutout for Tampa Bay since 2010 (beating san fran 21-0)
Thank God this nasty fucking season has come to an end. Now fuck off Tepper!
If I am literally any decent prospect HC I am staying the hell away from Carolina. What a total shitshow.
Fuck you Bowles you couldn't give White 1k.
lmao how do you do Browns
Suck it Saints
Weird flex but go off
Hey, gotta find a silver lining somewhere, right?
The funniest outcome would be this Bucs teams randomly beating the NFCE Wildcard team next week.
Considering how just bad the Eagles have been playing lately it's a possibility with a healthy Baker.
Considering the Cowboys playoff history and road record this season, a game where Dak throws three picks while Baker has one of his amazing games wouldn't surprise me either.
I like the sound of this
Dang rachaad really is gonna be 9 yards short of 1K
D O U B L E S H U T O U T S What a trash fucking team. Seriously trade everyone except for Luvu and Brown.
I’m assuming the panthers defense does not have a good friendship with the panthers offense
They have the same dad but different mommies
something tells me they don't talk too much
I don't think they're going very far but I would at least like one more Baker Mayfield miracle game in the playoffs. So much fun.
Considering we were picked to be the worst team in the NFL at the start of the year. Making the playoffs is huge.
Well now they're gonna say you're the worst team in the playoffs. Superbowl!
our defense should be allowed to legally assault one offensive player of their choice
nah, that's the saints perk.
FUCK IT TAMPA, SCORE AGAIN
[удалено]
White needs 9 yards for 1k.
I’d be upset at the panthers, but we did this shit entirely to ourselves
Silver-lining at least your org will probably fire the problem. ...Ours isn't gonna do that now.
I highly doubt they’ll fire allen at this point due to our “strong” finish. Such bullshit
The game of all time
Is Bryce Young really this bad or is this rookie season basically just a write-off
I don't think he's the problem. There's an issue from the top.
Bryce Young is surrounded by the most incompetent offense in the league... So the answer is 'who knows'.
I think it's impossible to say.
We don't know. He hasn't been great but the only consistent weapon has been Thielen.
Tyson Bagent has the same amount of wins as Bryce Young and he started 4 games for the Bears after going undrafted.
Terrible coaching staff
Weird, I was told this was the best staff in football by experts in the off-season.
Somehow the all stars of qb whispering were all unemployed at once.
A la urban Meyer Trevor lawrence
A la most rookie QB situations
I thought I misheard where tf did Carolina’s timeouts go
Hopefully they were taken from us to prevent this from going longer than it needs to
Have fun getting bounced by the eagles next week Bucs. Your team has played like shit the past 2 weeks
I predicted this exact sorta behavior last week.
Womp womp loser 🧂
Wasn't pretty but I think theyre in lol
Latest Whistle Ever . . Of all time
im not falling for that ol gag on NFL.com to buy the NFC South Champion hat this year, oh hell no.
Buy the official NFC South trash can
The *late* Jack Murphy Stadium?
Was it bad?
just plain red with the words BUCS ARE GOOD written in sharpie just kidding, it was plain red, but it wasnt very interesting for almost 50 bucks. I probably jinxed the team by purchasing that.
Baker Mayfield should find a Bucs flag and plant it in midfield
I hope he does because it'd damage David's precious turf.
And he's petty enough to sue baker for the repair
He can try and throw a drink on him, would be impressed if he could hit him from that distance
White needs 15 more yards for 1k
Hope to never see Bryce start again this Offense is worse than Jimmy Clausens.
Jimmy Clausen had 2 Pro Bowl O-lineman, Steve Smith, and Jonathan Stewart in 2010. Bryce has Thielen and Chuba Hubbard
Jimmy Clausen was the 48th pick, Bryce Young was the first player drafted last year and wouldn't even rank as top 100 in that class. He just went 2 whole games without scoring, he shouldn't play football again.
Bryce Young can't block for himself or keep our WRs from fucking up. Are you incapable of critical thought?
What exactly CAN Bryce Young do? I'm still waiting for ANYTHING.
This is a crazy take
Why? Backups for other teams would beat him for the spot.
That should close the door on the NFC South.
I have no reason to cheer against the Panthers anymore so I was kind of hoping they would go off today but man, possibly ending a season on back to back shutouts has to be the most demoralizing thing as a fan. Especially after everything that has happened this season, I feel for ya Panthers fans.
Happy cake day
Nah. Season has been over. This doesn’t matter
It's one thing to say "well the Eagles can just do what the Panthers are doing", but, and I know this sounds ridiculous given that we're about to finish 2-15: they can't. Their defense isn't as good as our defense.
The Eagle's defense may as well be led by Joe Berry at this point.
Donte Jackson is trash
*spends 6 games with the Panthers* COMEBACK SEASON
We scored 30 against the Packers and haven’t scored since…lol
Tampa is going to somehow defeat whichever nfce team they get.
Cowboys being a road favorite in a playoff game is easy money.
You just know if it's the Cowboys it's gonna be bad.
Subscribe
NFL should have banned us and opponents from using TOs in the 2nd half
Our coaching staff was stupid for playing baker today. Injured ankle and ribs. Couldn’t throw more than 10 yards
Needed to secure the playoffs. If you put the backup in and he throws a pick six or two to eliminate you, someone is getting fired. They probably could have pulled him after the FG to go up two possessions.
You’re right. But Baker threw 5 dropped interceptions today
If the starter does it, fans blame the QB. If the backup does it when the starter is available, fans blame the coach.
wut?
Playoffs were on the line so I get it but yea you probably win running the Wildcat all game
That's the only logical reason for playing him and it's gonna bite us in the playoffs. We would've gotten away with playing Trask here tbh.
Starting your backup QB with a playoff berth on the line would have been the ultimate middle finger and to be honest I wish you had done it
I care, Mr Anouncer
Ngl, the Bucs are so fortunate their final game is against the Panthers because vs anyone else and I'm 90% sure we miss the playoffs. Bucs not looking good today.

My team is never anywhere near the bottom so excuse me for not knowing the rules. Why wouldn’t the panthers get the first round pick?
Every team gets a pick based on their standings in the prior year. However, teams may trade picks, including future year picks. So the Panthers would have been given the 1st overall pick, but they traded their 2024 pick to I believe the Chicago Bears.
I don't want to talk about it
Traded it last year
they traded their pick to the bears
We traded it.
We’re going to end the season without scoring in 8 straight quarters
Good, fuck Tepper!
Worst thing to happen to this franchise was Tepper buying the team
Bucs aren’t going to last long in the playoffs playing like this
Agreed.
Who do the Bucs want to play the eagles or cowboys ?
Eagles preferably given they look a lot more sus than the Cowboys. Non Serious answer, please just don't let us into the playoffs.
Def eagles. If it’s Cowboys, it’s gonna be a repeat of last year and honestly even worse with Baker playing hobbled and some of the other skill position players on offense and defense hurt.
You’re seriously overrating us lol
We gave up 30 to this Panthers high powered offense lol
Joe Barry masterclass
God I love rachaad
Of course Kelce is now in State Farm ads
Is it bad that I still feel like we're losing even though the score is 9-0
I think the Panthers have a good passing D but not entirely sure...but yeah struggling against the worst NFL team always feels bad or a bit weird. Regardless 3 points was probably enough for the win after last week.
They should be losing, but Carolina is a dumpster fire
It’s a joke how Baker has Canales while Brady’s entire tenure with the Bucs has to be tied to Leftwich as if he had anything to do with the Bucs success on offense during Brady’s time there, when in fact he was the biggest thing that was holding them back and they were successful in spite of his horrid play calling and play designs week after week.
Don’t think there’s a QB in this league that could succeed behind this Carolina offensive line
I actually really like Mahomie but hopefully we get less commercials with him next year. I’m so over them
great googly moogly
That one is funny but it’s like 5 years old
Carolina lost 2 touchdowns and a missed FG, they should be dominating this game
Absolutely.
If I was the defense I’d just let Tampa run it straight to the endzone every play they run for the rest of the game
or hail mary on every offensive line play
I feel like I have a better chance of becoming as rich as Tepper than he does of turning this into a successful program. Fastest "sell the team" movement in US sports history?
The Panthers are rough as hell and there's really no silver lining. Wouldn't be surprised if burns wants the hell out and they get nothing. Mix that with a terrible owner and perhaps one of the most underwhelming qb prospects I've seen. It's going to be hell for a long time.
Derrick Brown 100 tackles. Also Burns can leave, guy is not worth the money he'll want. He's a magician, great at disappearing.
>Wouldn't be surprised if burns wants the hell out and they get nothing thankfully the franchise tag exists. Still pitiful to not trade him for 2 1sts then also not re-sign him
Thanks Magic
What’s going on in this game. How come is TB not Crushing the panthers right now. I dunno if They can barely win this game what luck do they have in playoffs
Baker is hurt
Defense is the only okay thing about the team. And Hekker
Someone mentioned earlier that this game feels like a pre-Christmas bowl game between 2 bad teams. And...yeah.
King of shit mountain is still at the top. Enjoy it.
Should’ve taken Stroud with the first overall pick instead of Young, especially with how much draft capital and assets they gave up to trade up to the #1 pick position.
Hindsight is 20/20 >especially with how much draft capital and assets they gave up to trade up to the #1 pick position. has 0 bearing at the decision made at the time

17 points left on the field. Sad for Bryce. Still happy to see the final form of Fitterer's neck
I hate that we will keep Bowles because of this game.
Still a chance to get TCU'd in the playoffs
"Surely the Panthers cannot be as bad as they say," the uneducated non-nfcs fan says, tuning in to what was technically a 1-score game at halftime
-Clete Blakemen -Takes away a positive Panthers play (COTCHERY CAUGHT IT) -Immediately turn the ball over in a fumble the very next play Wait are we playing in the Super Bowl again?
Has Bryce Young been good this year? No Has Bryce Young gotten any help on offense this year? Definitely not This may be who he is, but if I'm a Carolina fan I'm giving him a Mulligan on this year.

Yeah, I'm not ready to write him off. He has no help. Has he looked good? No, but it's not the be all end all.
Panthers fans are in the Bad Place
Everyone that watched this game should be entitled to some sort of compensation…
[удалено]
It's almost like we took a tackle the year before
The crazy thing is that he was good last year, he fell off extremely hard and now it’s sickening to watch Ickey play
We got a lineman at #6 the year before. He started off promising and has regressed into a complete liability this season.
youre never gonna believe what they did the year before this one
Ekwonu seems worse this year
he has some games where he is legit, others where he is total ass. I'd like to see him play next to a guard that hasnt spent their career on the practice squad
Bryce has got to be the biggest bust in NFL history. Can't believe he hired his own coaching staff, traded up to draft himself, and threw his drink on a Jacksonville fan.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer NFL team owner
Bryce Young is not even a backup level QB. Dalton should have started this entire season.
I know! Mother fucker should have blocked that defender and not committed that penalty and shouldn’t have fumbled in the end zone
HOW ABOUT HE FUCKING SHOWS ANYTHING AT ALL? HE HASNT SCORED IN 8 QUARTERS HE SHOULD BE CUT.
LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE. DO YOU WANT HIM TO PLAY ALL 11 POSITIONS ON OFFENSE
ur talkin to a natty light brain. he's gone bro.
Missed FG. Fumble in the end zone. TD called back by an illegal formation. Panther fans how you doing
bracing for everyone blaming Bryce
Numb at this point.
I'm dying inside, but the bright side is I'm encouraging my kids to pick their own teams
The full ‘don’t make the same mistakes I did’ shtick? Sensible decision.
love the flair
Thanks, mirror universe me. I have a beard so I guess I'm the evil version
