Oh please stop with the "good not that good" a subject for debate. We beat this team by three touchdowns the last time we played them - and this is supposed to be one of the best in the NFC? Come on.
We had a bad night on D and got whupped. It happens. The Panthers haven't won anything yet and they still have the Giants and a road game in New Orleans to contend with. If Garcia could go deep on their secondary, what's Drew Brees going to do to them?
The division is still very much in play and the Bucs are still very much in contention to go deep in the playoffs.
I still feel like the Bucs have the best D of the division. The Panthers are playing well overall but defensively are poor.
The team is right in the thick of it, even if they lose to ATL this week.
