43 points on….64 yards passing!?

u/Porkenfries Buccaneers 1d ago

Two fumbles, one returned for touchdown, two interceptions, a blocked PAT returned for 2 points, and the Panthers run d was garbage so we mostly just kept running.

Blowing out a division rival on the road, I’ve seen enough. Looks like Todd Bowles gets an extension.

76

u/PuddingJello Saints 1d ago

I mean shoot obviously all the issues have been no Baker so why not give Bowles a 5 year contract

35

u/rostron92 Falcons 1d ago

Why limit it to five years? Who says no to a lifetime apointment!

u/QuitWhinging Giants 1d ago

I have no investment in Tampa's success, and I love Todd Bowles reaction images, so I'm for it.

They aren’t going to fire him mid-season. The Glazers have never done it.

u/MarionberryDecent351 15h ago

Ball knower but unfortunately for Bucs fans the soccer management world is wildly different than football. I believe the average tenure for coaches is still less than a season in the premier league.

u/Old_School_xXx Falcons 1d ago

I cannot wait for Todd Bowles to coach the saints next season.

u/iguanoman_ Falcons 1d ago

The Bucs being the only team in the South to not have an absolute ass whipping of a loss is fitting

13

u/GrayJinjo Buccaneers 1d ago

And since this division makes no sense at all it wouldn’t surprise me if we beat you guys next week since you just defeated the 6-0 Niners and then the following week we will probably get blown out by the Bears 45-10.

Nothing in football feels worse than being unable to defend the run.

Tnf against the Steelers in 2017. I viscerally remember that one

You are correct.

MNF against the Eagles in 2014. A game so dogshit Gruden made a smoothie instead.

u/TonyZeSnipa 9h ago

Was that the Jimmy Clausen game or the Cam game? I lived around Pitt and my dad is a steelers fan. Remember the schedule being released, getting tickets for that game and being there in a Peppers jersey watching the tar get kicked out of us when Clausen was our QB. Every time I’ve attended a steeler game they’ve lost, except that one where they beat us.

Panthers are a top tier bipolar team. Please get meds for this guys.

u/Imsortofabigdeal Panthers 1d ago

Not bipolar, just simply one of the worst teams in the league

54

u/ThatEmpireGuy Panthers Steelers 1d ago

12th time Evero’s defense has given up 200 rushing yards. How do people actually defend this fool. He needs to be fired, it’s clear his scheme will never work consistently.

2

u/MarionberryDecent351 14h ago

Worst part about coaches is so many of them get high on their own supply thinking they’ve completely outsmarted everyone as their team gets blown out lmao

45

u/Westcoastchi Bears 1d ago

Losing by more than 4 TDs despite allowing less than 100 passing yards is something I thought I'd never see in this era of football.

19

u/GoNinGoomy Panthers Panthers 1d ago

It's not that we didn't allow 100 passing, it's that they were running the ball so well they had no reason to pass.

u/BoredGuy2007 Bears 17h ago

u/Wutangkillabeess 1d ago

Less than 70 yards passing is crazy

u/Bluethingamajig Patriots 1d ago edited 1d ago

Look, Carolina fans.

If you want people to see your team as a real contender, the team can't do things like lose to Chicago or get blown out by a Florida team. That's just how it is.

84

u/xbuzzedx Panthers 1d ago

It’s funny bc people don’t know you’re being silly

Luckily we aren’t a contender

Not losing to the Browns at home would help, too.

NFC South wide open as always

u/Chardoggy1 Panthers 1d ago

Might be the most embarrassing Panthers game I’ve ever witnessed. Fire Ejiro Evero into the sun for being outcoached by fucking Todd Bowles and Zach Robinson

3

u/_mid_water Panthers 17h ago

I mean the rushing yards are bad, but the turnovers are the main reason it was so lopsided

47

u/Skunkers Panthers Panthers 1d ago

Our o-Line needs a total overhaul and Ejiro Evero should have been fired ages ago. Into the sun.

12

u/Vaadwaur Panthers 1d ago

Yeah, we might be drafting OL first round again, assuming there are enough guys with first round grades.

2

u/discodemolition Bears 23h ago

This o line class is shaping up to be pretty solid IMO.

1

u/Vaadwaur Panthers 23h ago

Think there are any good 2nd/3rd rounders as well? I do not mind drafting a lot of O line after this shit.

3

u/discodemolition Bears 23h ago

Yes, I do. We’ll see how this season shakes out with people returning to school- like Goosby (LT Texas, having a rough year but supremely talented) probably heads back to school after his injury yesterday, but O Line is usually a position who’s depth comes to light after the season, and it feeling supremely deep right now is a good sign IMO.

1

u/Vaadwaur Panthers 22h ago

We are replacing at least one OT, and maybe an OG plus I am not sure if Hecht is going to work as a professional center.

2

u/discodemolition Bears 22h ago

Ekwonus done with y’all?

1

u/Vaadwaur Panthers 22h ago

Sadly unknown. Patellar tendon so we don't know who we are getting back. I suspect we get another OT because Ekwonu might have to inside to guard.

23

u/Jonjon428 Dolphins 1d ago

The Panthers are so fucking confusing

u/nametaglost Panthers 1d ago

No. That’s why I’m so fucking confused.

Texting with buddies we all agreed a 30 point lead was when we would not expect a loss.

u/Roselucky777 Jaguars Cardinals 1d ago

Is this scorigami?

17

u/Phantom_Nuke Buccaneers Buccaneers 1d ago

No, happened 4 time prior. Most recently Titans @ Browns in 2019. So Baker has been on both sides of a 43-13 game.

5

u/2kpracticedummy Patriots 1d ago

Nope there have been 4 games with this score

7

u/e4mica523 Panthers 1d ago

if Evero isn't fired by the end of the week then Canales should pack his bags and join him, because at this point I don't even know what he does. They don't have any consistency, they come out flat half the time, and he wont fire his coordinators that are bad at their jobs

7

u/thunkalunk Panthers 1d ago

If Evero is still employed tomorrow then I am going to start really questioning if Dave is the guy long term.

That’s 12 games his defenses have given up over 200 yards rushing. Having 2 deep safeties against a qb with an injured throwing hand is actual malpractice.

1

u/unfunnysexface Panthers 17h ago

Which dave?

Handsome Dave or ticketed events Dave?

7

u/John3Fingers Bears Bears 1d ago

Surrendering a 40-burger to Mayfield when he pops off for *checks notes...

Wtf happened Carolina

27

u/ThatEmpireGuy Panthers Steelers 1d ago

Our DC is a football terrorist. He seemed stunned by the concept that Tampa would run the ball.

16

u/Stmbi0teSpidey Panthers 1d ago

Yeah that guy is a football genius, don’t load the box against a QB with an injured throwing hand who doesn’t have his WR1

6

u/ARCman23 Buccaneers 1d ago

43 pts on 64 passing yards is a pretty crazy stat line.

5

u/pokemonmaniac300 Buccaneers 1d ago

Just like we expected

7

u/Phantom_Nuke Buccaneers Buccaneers 1d ago

I for one had faith in Baker to have a 109.7 QB rating game. Just ignore the yards.

u/AmityIslandSharkTour Buccaneers 1d ago

Happy ring of honor induction day Luke :)

That was a smart move by the Niners not to take that interception.

That’s the end of our season. We showed that we are still a basement dweller and our wins were completely fraudulent. This team is headed nowhere and there is no hope, just like always.

30

u/SSJ_Bobby_Hill Panthers 1d ago

This guy doesnt speak for the rest of us, we are 3-3 and lead the south, plenty of games to come

6

u/slashVictorWard Buccaneers Buccaneers 1d ago

We'd gladly trade records. Bucs have no blowout loses this season but not being to close out games (up last week 16-3 in 4th quarter on Steelers) is a different kind of sucking.

15

u/THRUSSIANBADGER Panthers 1d ago

Love the over reactions on Reddit. I’m sure a few weeks ago you were saying stuff like the Falcons wouldnt win a game this year and that Drake Maye is the worst QB in the league and would never be good again. This was an embarrassing game but it’s just that, 1 game. Especially a divisional game where anything can happen.

4

u/seoul_drift Ravens Seahawks 1d ago

This is the ball knower's perspective.

4

u/aspiringalcoholic Panthers 1d ago

Long time panthers fans know that since Derek Anderson (the buc fucker) retired, the Bucs own us. It's fine, it's just two games a season. Moton getting injured hurts a lot though.

14

u/Rillaboom2701 Panthers 1d ago

overreact much? 

this is certainly the lowest we've been all year but we aren't a basement dweller and the season isn't over 

4

u/squadracorse15 Bears 1d ago

Definitely not the end but it is the crisis point. Next 2 games will show us what these Panthers really are.

-8

u/Imsortofabigdeal Panthers 1d ago

Yeah, two blowout losses and we can start talking about our top 10 pick in the draft and everyone can forget about us just like always.

u/Appropriate_Book_591 1d ago

Bucs defense has been good enough all year. If Bucky and Gainwell can run like that they will be good. Didn't need Baker to do anything but not turn ball over in snap and few passes.

2

u/Ordinary-Mixture5064 Buccaneers 20h ago

What’s funny is the reason we ran so much is because Baker was hurt. If he was healthy we would never have ran this much. And I truly believe we would have loss if we try to throw the whole game.

Eagles probably win that game if they had any healthy running backs.

1

u/ARCman23 Buccaneers 1d ago

That was the most competitive game of football the Bucs have played all season, by far. Offense, Defense, and Special Teams all showed up. Aside from Darren Waller torching the secondary and a late Anthony Tyus III garbage-time TD, it was pretty immaculate. I'm a little salty the Bucs didn't manage to break the franchise single-game rushing record of 283 yds; they had 254 rush yds with 7:30 remaining, but it was a really fun game regardless.

1

u/NeighborhoodGlobal30 Buccaneers 1d ago

bucs haven't had a win like this in almost 2 years. every win last season was by 1 score

Like… HOW did they score 43? Lol

1

u/Aurion7 Panthers 1d ago

2nd time this year another team has rushed for >200/>250 against our defense.

In those games, we are 0-2 and have been outscored 102-50 in total. 22-point L and a 30-point L.

There might be a lesson in there for any would-be defensive coordinators about the importance of stopping the run.

In the defense's very mild defense, everyone else was bad too. But you'll never compete if you can't stop the run even if those other parts are good.

1

u/davey_mann Eagles 1d ago

The Bucs go from 0-4 to beating the Cowboys on the road and curb stomping the Panthers by 30 points. This is a very weird NFL season.
