Hackett (questionable); Derrick Brooks, Aqib Talib (probable); Barrett Ruud, Joey Galloway (questionable); Brian Griese, Sabby Piscitelli (out) GAME INFO: 10/12/08; 1:00 p.m. ET; FOX (check local listings) PREDICTION: Very important divisional game for the Bucs and Panthers. Carolina currently has a one game edge in the standings, though if the Bucs win this one they pull ahead of the Panthers in the NFC South. I think the Bucs would win this for sure if they were fully healthy, but too many key players are not at full strength right now. Panthers by a touchdown.
A win puts you back in the driver's seat in the division. Lots of big games being played this weekend. I think Garcia gives you a better chance to win. His arm isn't as strong as Griese's, but IMO, he is a better decision maker. And he can make more plays with his feet (despite his age) to buy him some time, unlike Griese.
26-3 Bucs in the 4th quarter. I'm happy to be wrong in my prediction. Maybe I need to predict more losses for the Bucs.
we freakin owned em... btw did u see espn's remarks of why we won? cuz the panthers had a tough game against the cheifs... FREAKING HATERS
ESPN really said that? Those fucking people never cease to amaze me. I'm pretty sure the Panthers beat the Chiefs 34-0.
to me it doesnt matter if they played the giants... they both played the previous sunday... shit we lost to the broncos... remember that? espn are morons
