Eyes On Panthers-Browns At 1 O’Clock
September 27th, 2026
After Cleveland embarrassed the Bucs last week, Joe is very intrigued to see how the bumbling Browns perform in their home opener today at 1 p.m. against the Carolina Panthers (1-1).
You know the Panthers; they’re the Bucs’ rival that made the playoffs last year after starting the season 1-3.
If the Browns win, then maybe there’s extra hope for the Bucs in their 4:05 p.m. start against the Vikings. If the Panthers punish the Browns, then Joe might cry a little more inside for the state of Tampa Bay.
To the surprise of most fans, the Panthers are averaging 35 1/2 points per game without having a special running game. Joe watched Carolina hammer the Falcons last week 34-3. They’re steaming with confidence and should be.
Again, if the Browns knock off the Panthers, maybe things aren’t as dark for the Bucs as they appear.

It only matters what we do. Lose again today, who gives a flip about Carolina?

Panthers by 2 td’s

Panthers boat race them.

This just Joes trying to find a lifeline for Bowles. 0-5 here we come.

I very seldom get to see the Bucs on TV. Living in Charleston, I gotta watch the Panthers.
September 27th, 2026 at 9:27 am
Panthers will win running away.

Bucs are facing a MUST WIN game in week 3 Joe-so it is pretty dad gum dark.

Bryce Young can find a way to lose any game, so this one is no lock

Panthers will destroy the Browns just like the Panthers would destroy us if we played them right now.
Panthers would beat us like 34-13 if we played them today. So would the Saints.

Where’s all the CJ Stroud fan boys at? So certain that he was going to be better than Bryce Young huh?

Panthers will win convincingly. Bucs May never win another game with Bowels as head coach. This is really beginning to reek of Raheem Morris 2011.

Be prepared to cry inside.

I can hear Todd’s after the game press conference…. Well we had a great week of practice, we were ready to play at one o’clock but sadly the game began at four. The guys in the locker room lost their edge, some napped, the coaches shared a joint, I can tell you that if the game would have started at one the outcome would have been different. When did the league change the starting time of our game? Why didn’t anyone tell me during the week?

Browns win

If you want to know if the Browns are really that good, flip on the Browns-Panthers game. So far the Panthers D-line is living in the Browns offensive backfield. Watson has been running for his life.

The game is going like I thought it would……both teams competing.
…..UNLIKE the Bucs
September 27th, 2026 at 1:54 pm
lol what are you guys watching?! Panthers look flat.
September 27th, 2026 at 2:22 pm
The “lowly” Browns just went up 10-Zip — and get the ball back in the second half.
September 27th, 2026 at 2:29 pm
Carolina and canals is crashing to the ground,they are what i said they were…fluke
September 27th, 2026 at 2:30 pm
A lowly AFC north team can compete with any team.Run and play defense…Simple

Joe Says:
Totally disagree. At this point, none of that has anything to do with the Bucs. Until our team proves they can play decent football, it’s a steaming pile of poo and has no realistic shot at even winning the NFC South landfill.
We’re one of the bottom 5 teams in the entire league. The record over the last 11 games shows it…
There is no reason for hope until they give us a reason. I know we have to play pretend or there’s no website, but this season is already over. I’m just hoping for some growth from the young players and a new head coach in January.

Thank you for speaking sensibly because idk what the Browns beating that Panthers has to do with us outside of loosely making that seem that makes the panthers worse or on par with our dysfunction as as a team.
September 27th, 2026 at 3:07 pm
Its a loss for a team inside the division!
September 27th, 2026 at 3:36 pm
For some strange reasons
Teams are actually playing defense today
September 27th, 2026 at 3:37 pm
9 points so far into the 4th… seems the entire division is pretty bad, though the Bucs may very well be the worst.
Of course I’m rooting for the Browns for the next 12 game minutes…
September 27th, 2026 at 4:50 pm
Carolina is 1-2 with Atlanta
September 27th, 2026 at 4:59 pm
Again, Joe’s logic is about as sound as Swaggy Baker’s concept of what a palm tree is for.
The Browns beating the Panthers says nothing about the Bucs. What it says is the NFC South is by far the worst division in the NFL.
In other news, I’m seriously considering becoming a Jags fan at this point.
Coen has that team rocking and rolling. Disciplined, talented, exciting. Winning! The whole package. And at least they’re in Florida, so I could still say my loyalties have not gone out of state.
Until the Head Clown is shown the door along with most of his staff I could lose all interest in following this team, and I’ve been a fan since I was a boy. That’s how bad this sh*t show has become.
