Eight times the Bucs got inside the Carolina 30-yard game in this game but only came away with two fieldgoals and hence took a
tough road loss to the Panthers. Josh Freeman threw five interceptions to offset his first 300-yard game, three of the turnovers
coming in the critical area of the field as the Bucs were poised to score. "It was a tough day for the young man," Raheem Morris
said of Freeman, "He just made some bad decisions. Maybe he tried squeezing some balls into Antonio Bryant or Kellen
Winslow. He's just got to make better decisions there and generate more points." The Tampa offense did rack up a season-high
469 yards with Cadillac Williams joining in the fun on the ground but it all came to naught in the end.
