TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS OFFICIAL GAME DAY THREAD

[13F11B]

Shaq got kicked on the back of the calf I think.

It was either the calf or the side of the foot.

[Primeminister]

To much time left on the clock for TB, lol.

I’d rather just run the ball and go into the half.

Hope you're right

[IronDog]

Looked like he twinged a little as he came around the blocker before he hit the QB

[Doooshnzl]

At least they are putting up some points vs. what they did against the Saints.

Yeah true. I'm not going to be too hard on the offense today given how banged up we are.

Such a fucking giver…

[Nano]

He walked off without a limp so it doesn't look that serious thankfully. The size and power of those guys around him though could make even a minor tap hurt like hell though.

Unless it's some freak injury, he'll probably be back in the game second half.

[Cheb]

Far more balanced offense this game; 18 passes versus 15 runs in the first half. Still have 156 passing yards and a tuddie for Tom to go with 96 yards and a touchdown for Vaughn.

It's amazing how much better an offense can be when they have a semblance of balance.

[Patrick McIrish]

I think Barrett will be fine. Let's hope but looks like it.

Defense looks good. Wrapping up on tackles, DB's covering well, decent pressure up front.

Offense much better than last week.

I know there's more to it but nice to see us RUN THE FOOTBALL!!

Just feels better to have some balance.

FIRE THE CANNONS!!!

[Primeminister]

How long is Mike out?

[Cheb]

How long is Mike out?

He's week-to-week from what I understand.

Far as I'm concerned, he can take his time. Would rather he be healthy for the playoffs than padding his regular season stats. We're gonna need him.

I suspect if Vaughn didn’t break that big one we would be less balanced, but credit to the playcalling for leaning into balance today.

[Nano]

Depends on how well his hamstring tests in practice. He'll likely be back either next week or the final week.

I agree. This is such a harder team to beat than the Let's Get Brady MVP At All Costs squad we've been all year.

This is the type of team we saw march through their playoffs and destroy the Chiefs.

[Patrick McIrish]

I’d rather just run the ball and go into the half.

Not to rehash but we should have done this in the Atlanta game.

Good to hear. Glad he isn’t hurt too bad.

Lessons learned

Like Cheb said I hope that he takes his time coming back. He has a history of hammy issues and we need him in the playoffs.

[Bucsfan83]

I hope Mike gets 1k this year.

[IronDog]

WTF, did they just blow off the last 44 seconds of the half?

[Primeminister]

Keyword for the first half: Balance. I don’t mean this just offensively. The TEAM is playing balanced ball with the Defense complementing the Offense. When we play balanced ball on both sides we can beat anyone.

[ATrain]

WTF, did they just blow off the last 44 seconds of the half?

Yes, they made the correct decision.

[Primeminister]

WTF, did they just blow off the last 44 seconds of the half?

We ran the ball and took it into the half. What do you mean?

Get this win. Then continue to get people ready for the playoffs. Keep things balanced. Get some younger guys some game time and get the vets returning from injury some reps but do not overwork them.

[Nano]

Don't get too greedy at the end of the half. We already had a quick TD at the end of the half...don't want to risk another Atlanta.

[Rocker]

No bearing on the game, but #1 best wifey found an autographed Evans jersey for me as a surprise Christmas gift.

It’ll hang between #20 and #40.

[IronDog]

Last I saw was Shaq down, then after an endless (seeming) stream of stupid commercials, it jumped to Bradshaw going over highlights. Went back and Brady was brooding on the bench and the clock said 44 sec.

[Primeminister]

Shaq Barrett is questionable to return with a knee injury.

We ran the ball once and took it into the half. You missed a play is all.

[King Bootz]

[Rocker]

Grant Stuard is a special teams machine.

[ATrain]

Shaq is questionable to return with a knee injury

Fuck yes, just what we need, our best pass rusher is getting dinged up.

[Primeminister]

If it’s even questionable I would rather keep Shaq out. No need to risk further injury unless we truly have to play him.

Cam Gill has put up some good tape in limited reps this year.

[King Bootz]

Cam back in

[Rocker]

Shaq on the field.
