Bucs wide receiver Ike Hilliard is hoping a few catches like this one will piss off the Panthers.

Bucs wide receiver Ike Hilliard told eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune that the Bucs and the Panthers don’t really care for each other.

“They don’t like us, man,’’ said Bucs WR Ike Hilliard. “They don’t like us a whole lot, it’s been well documented. They hate us. It makes it a lot more fun on game day.’’

Hilliard was asked if the feeling is mutual.

“Yes,’’ he said. “They’re a good football team and good football teams love to play each other. We obviously have to pick up our intensity based on what we put on film last week.’’

When two teams despise each other, it usually makes for entertaining football. Joe hopes the Bucs come out on top of this brawl. At least the human holding penalty Kenyatta Walker is long gone. Thankfully.
