5 huge losers from Carolina Panthers’ loss to the Buccaneers in Week 16

Another defeat, another piece on the biggest losers from a disaster of a Carolina Panthers’ loss in Week 16 vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Another week and another loss for the Carolina Panthers.

Thankfully, there are only two games remaining in the season before the Panthers can enter an offseason that will be full of important decisions on which direction this team heads towards next.

But on Sunday, the Panthers were blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, showing them up close and personal just how far away they are from being actual contenders.

Even with Tampa Bay missing more than 50 percent of its offensive production due to injuries, the game was a mismatch from the start and a rotating quarterback rotation for Carolina didn’t make any difference.
