Carolina Defeats Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-23

Posted Dec 8, 2008 by Anwar S. Richardson

Updated Dec 8, 2008 at 11:42 PM

Tampa Bay went on the road to face Carolina in the biggest game of its season and fell short during its 38-23 loss.

The Bucs gave up 38 points, which is the most points scored against their defense since a 38-10 loss against Dallas in 2006.

Tampa Bay now falls to 9-4 and behind Carolina (10-3) in the NFC South race with three regular season games remaining. The Bucs will need the Panthers to stumble down the stretch in order to claim the NFC South title, and if not, would be in line for a possible wild card playoff spot.

Everyone saw the game, so now it’s time for your feedback:

1) What was the biggest disappointment about Tampa Bay’s performance?

2) Was this the worst tackling performance you’ve have seen from Tampa Bay’s defense in a while?

3) Did Julius Peppers bully Tampa Bay’s offensive line?

4) How uncharacteristic was Warrick Dunn’s four consecutive dropped passes?

5) Despite the loss, do you think Tampa Bay still can make the playoffs? If so, which areas can Tampa Bay improve upon before the playoffs?
