When I saw the Jets released Hill I thought he'd be a good low risk pickup, I like it.

Big time 4th down conversion there, now lets get a TD out of this drive

TD!!! Greg Olsen! Anderson has been great so far

LOL!!! Won't go that far. But Anderson is doing well. Benjamin has a TD catch and we are up 17-0. Well, Tampa just got a TD so it is 17-7 with 7:23 in the 4th. Panthers need a sustained drive to finish this game off. Our defense has been great all day today, but that last drive hurt. Did not agree with the roughing the passer call and that made a huge difference in that drive.

Well under 5 to play and the Bucs have the ball at their 40. Defense better play big here and finish this off!

Now it is 1st and goal with 2:20 to play. Tipped and TD. WAIT!! His foot was out first and he did not reestablish so it is incomplete. WHEW!!! That was close. 3rd and goal and there is the TD clean. 17-14 with 2:06 to play, Anderson and the Panthers have to get a 1st down to win this one assuming there is not a successful onside. Our defense is self destructing. Played great for 3 and 1/2 qtrs, but stinking the place up since.

I'm nervous as hell lol

Great start with a false start. CRAP!! 2nd and 15 at the 2:00 minute warning. Anderson is going to have to make something happen. I do not trust our defense right now so say just run and make Tampa use their timeouts. They have our defense 2nd guessing themselves right now. Let Anderson find Olsen or Benjamin.

That was WAY to close to an INT , the defense better hold strong

Horrible pass by Anderson should have been picked off. WE punt and the Bucs have it at their 31 with 1:36 and 2 timeouts remaining. Good. False start.

FUMBLE!!!! Carolina ball!!!!

Fumble! Panthers have it and this one is over! Great hit and strip by Luke!

Interesting. FG makes it 20-14 with 23 seconds to play. Still too much time. 17 seconds to play and Tampa ball at their 21. Incomplete and now 12 seconds. Now 5 seconds. Now it is over. Thank goodness. A win.

Great win 1-0!

Defense looked solid for the most part. I will blame that 4th quarter on weather/conditioning/fatigue. D-Line got excellent pressure although TB line was well expected to be trash. Some uncharacteristic mishaps by the linebackers but they showed up when it counted.

Offensively, very well balanced. KB, Olsen, and even Cotchery had some clutch plays. Amazing catch by KB on that TD. Olsen had an awesome catch in traffic as well. Run game was decent enough to where the defense had to respect it.

Cam is expected to play next week, so Derek Anderson may lead the league in passer rating when the season ends.
