NFL: Exciting Carolina Panthers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers



In the NFL Week 8 match Carolina Panthers will face Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thurday on October 24, 2013 at 8:25 PM ET at Raymond James Stadium, 4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607. Both teams started the season 0-2 and have dealt with major injury issues and quarterback inconsistency, the difference is that the Panthers have rebounded behind an efficient passing game and a dominant defense while the Bucs have floundered despite talent on both sides of the ball.

Last week, Janoris Jenkins learned who his daddy is, but I don't expect the same result this week. If there's any semblance of common sense in that coaching staff, they will make Darrelle Revis stick to Smith like glue. Steve Smith had his best game of the season last week against Jenkins, who stepped in to cover Smitty for the injured Courtland Finnegan. I would expect Tampa Bay to try and take him away as best they can. Though Cam has finally started to trust his other receivers, Steve Smith still remains his favorite target. The Panthers don't often win if Steve Smith can't get open. It will be quite a battle between the Panthers all-time greatest receiver and one of the best players at his position, in his prime in Revis. We know Smith can get frustrated if a corner is shutting him down, so we can hope that Smith finds a way to get open here. Joseph is one of the premier right guards in the game, but he has been hampered by injuries for much of the season, and it will be difficult to get the run game going without breakout back Doug Martin against a stout Panthers front seven. The Buccaneers will concentrate on the passing game and will try to utilize Mike Glennon‘s arm to stretch the field, and that can only happen if the Bucs’ offensive line can give Glennon a clean pocket. Lotulelei has been a force on the inside this season, consistently getting penetration with a devastating bull rush if Lotulelei and his partner in crime Kawann Short can get penetration, it’s going to be a long day for the Bucs. you can watch match here for Live chat, Live stream, live update and live result  Click Here

Jackson has been about the only bright spot in Tampa Bay's offense in 2013. He's already logged 544 yards and four touchdowns in six games with rookie Mike Glennon taking over at quarterback for an inept and shackled Josh Freeman. Last season Jackson also had a lot to do with sweeping Carolina, as Tampa Bay was the only team who swept us in our division. The Panthers have been shuffling in Drayton Florence and Melvin White for the rotation with Josh Thomas and Captain Munnerlyn. Josh Thomas has been pretty good at stopping the run, but has gotten burned more than any of our other cornerbacks this season. I don't see any of those names who can lock down Jackson without help, but Josh Thomas is the last person who should be doing it. Mike Williams is no joke either, but Jackson has been a consistent threat this year and will likely be a focal point of the offense that now lacks Doug Martin. The Panthers aren’t the only team with a monster in the middle, and Buccaneers’ man up front is older and wiser. McCoy took some time to round into form after struggling with injuries during his first few years, but he has begun to recall memories of Warren Sapp in Tampa with his penetration ability. Kalil was injured all of last year but he has returned to form this year, spearheading the Panthers’ potent running attack. Kalil will need to keep McCoy out of the backfield if the Panthers offense is going to be successful, because another performance like last week against the Rams interior line will spell doom for the Panthers’ newfound success.
