The Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will square off this Sunday in the Panthers first divisional game since facing the Atlanta Falcons in week two. It seems like the NFL was a different world then https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Mike-Adams-Jersey , as tends to be the case as the season takes shape. Players get injured, teams get hot and cold, and all sorts of small changes add up to larger events. For the Buccaneers, it was a time of great jubilation as Ryan Fitzpatrick, filling in for the suspended Jameis Winston, was leading them to thrilling shootout victories. The fans and media anointed him #FitzMagic and times were good.Well https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Matt-Kalil-Jersey , as he has done many times in his career, Fitzpatrick began to falter. Known for having both times of brilliance and times of utterly loathsome play, he was starting to swing back toward the dark side and the team put Jameis Winston back in as the starter. Now we have come full circle, with Winston’s play declining and Fitzpatrick nearly leading them to a miraculous comeback last week.To that end, the Panthers will prepare to face Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter, and hopefully force him into the bad habits of turning the ball over a lot that he has been prone to. In the game against the Baltimore Ravens https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Captain-Munnerlyn-Jersey , the secondary was very opportunistic and the defense as a whole was able to pressure the quarterback using some well timed blitz packages. They’ll look to keep the good times rolling this week along with an offense that just put up a season high point total against one of the NFL’s best defenses. Cam Newton and company will get the opportunity to feast on the statistically worst one this week.What we’ll be feasting on however, is one of my favorite desserts. In my family, we call them “magic bars” but this week we’ll have a different name for them...FitzTragic Barssimplyrecipes.comIngredients1 stick unsalted melted butterA bit of extra butter to grease the baking dishOne 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I like to buy whole crackers and crush them myself)1 cup semisweet chocolate chips1 cup peanut butter chips1 cup pecan or walnut pieces1 cup shredded sweetened coconutDirectionsPreheat oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-by-13 baking dish.Combine the melted butter and cracker crumbs in a bowl using your hands until it holds together like a pie crust would.Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press it into the bottom forming a roughly even layer.Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs, then spread chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, nuts and coconut on top.Bake until the sides are golden brown and begin to separate from the dish https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/David-Mayo-Jersey , 30 to 40 minutes. Let them cool completely in the dish and then slice up into pieces that make sense for your occasion.Hopefully these delicious #FitzTragic bars will counteract any lingering magic that Fitzpatrick has to offer, and the Panthers will be able to move to a 6-2 record on the season.KEEP POUNDING. ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Kerryon Johnson has been a bright spot for Detroit in a season with plenty of struggles.Now the Lions are finally coming off a win — but Johnson exited that victory with a left knee injury.Detroit’s rookie running back went down in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers, and although the Lions had to be pleased to snap a three-game losing streak, they face a daunting task over the next couple of weeks.Detroit has a short turnaround before its Thanksgiving game against Chicago — not a great situation for a player recovering from an injury — and then the Lions face the Los Angeles Rams.Johnson has boosted Detroit’s previously moribund running game. He has rushed for 641 yards on the season — more than anyone on the Lions managed last season — but it’s not clear when he’ll be able to play again.“Not sure what his situation is, but we’ve dealt with it in other areas on our team before. Just next guy up https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Devin-Funchess-Jersey , let’s go,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said.“We have a bunch of guys in that room that are talented. If they need to play more, they’ll play more. If they don’t, then we’ll roll with what we have.”Detroit was already without wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) against Carolina. Then Johnson left the game, but the Lions were able to win anyway thanks to some big catches by receiver Kenny Golladay.Detroit (4-6) still faces an uphill climb to make the playoffs. Its next two games are at home but against first-place teams. If Johnson isn’t available, the path becomes even tougher.“We’ll take it day by day. We’ll see how it goes https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Mario-Addison-Jersey ,” coach Matt Patricia said Monday. “We just have to stay even keel with all of it and make sure we prepare like we’re just pushing forward.”Johnson leads the Lions with 118 carries. LeGarrette Blount has 78 and Stafford has 21. No other Detroit player has more than nine. Blount is averaging only 2.3 yards per attempt.“Certainly, Kerryon has a skillset that’s great, just like a lot of our other guys do,” Patricia said. “I think we have good players, we have dynamic guys, guys that can make plays in different ways and it’s not cookie-cutter. Football is not that way. When you have a different player that’s in and in the same position Marquis Haynes Jersey , it doesn’t mean that they can do the same thing. You have to be able to adjust.”The Lions could always bring in someone from outside the organization to help at running back, but there’s not much time before the next game.Running back Zach Zenner, who signed with the Lions earlier this month, could have a bigger role now. Zenner has played sporadically for Detroit since the 2015 season — he had 88 carries in 2016.“No matter what it means for me, it’s always disappointing to see a teammate get injured,” Zenner said. “Kerryon’s a good teammate https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Torrey-Smith-Jersey , good person, good friend. So it’s certainly tough to see him have an injury. I don’t know what the situation is. Hopefully he’ll be back, ready to go, but if not, I’ll be ready to do whatever I’m asked.”
