Official Buccaneers Discussion Thread

LMAO

Bottom line. If we don't kick the Bucs in the crotch and win by at least 20, we don't have a prayer of doing squat in the postseason. The Bucs have no offense...no defense...nothing. The ONLY thing they have is Lovie, who knows McCarthy and the Packers well. However, he doesn't have a roster anywhere near what he had in Chicago. The Packers should come out smoking mad after their performance last week. I expect Rodgers to complete his first 15 passes with ease. I expect Eddie Lacy, even completely blind, and the running game in general to be used more extensively than last week...because McCarthy KNOWS the offense screwed the pooch last week.

This isn't a trap game. This is a pride game. Coming off a crap performance, a true contender will rise and dominate. I remember the 1996 Packers...after starting 8-1, they lost at KC and at Dallas (because we could never get those f-ers in Lambeau back then) and everyone starting questioning if they were ready to take that title step. Then they came out and laid a complete dud of a first half against the Rams...who were horrible. When faced with the reality that they were shooting themselves in the foot and needed to step it up, that team did. It did not lose a game the rest of that season. No other team came within 11 points of them, and the offense scored 28 or more in every game.

Wake up, Packers.

It is time.

They have some O.

Doug Martin rushed for 96 vs Carolina, which has a better front 7 than we do.

Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans will both go over 1000 yards and have given DB's fits all year.

Their Oline is rebuilt and has pretty good hands in place. Why they got that guy we should have drafted instead of that stupid guy from Cal, Logan Mankins at guard.

They have no TE, traded away in the off-season.

The Bucs have 8 losses by 7 or less. I'd be worried if Gerald McCoy was fit and playing. I think we win, but TB will have some success offensively.

It will go like this:

The Packers will have difficulty getting going. The score will be close at the half and in the second half Aaron Rodgers will get pissed off and toss a couple of TD's and we win.

Betting.

With the Packers defense. ATS ... take Tampa Bay and the points (13).

Bet the UNDER.... O/U = 49.

If the Pack should lose is it time to look at a coaching change? MM has been there a long time.

I think so, too.

That Tampa front 7 (with McCoy) pounded the shit out of the solid Bengal OLine. Cincy was lucky to get out of TB with a 1 point win. An up and down Carolina team barely won by two at home.

Lovie Smith quietly gets these boys ready to play.

I think the boys will figure out they have to be intense and get the win, but it could be close.

In Lambeau, this is a blow-out, but any roadie in the NFL is tough.

The loss of Gerald McCoy is key.

Man, that guy is great, him and Suh are illegal.

The Philadelphia Eagles will agree with you right now....losing in Washington by a score of 27-24.

[King Friday]

The Bucs have 8 losses by 7 or less.

Well, when you have as many losses as they do, some of them probably will be close.

I agree with you King Friday. Play AR the whole game and CRUSH Tampa Bay.

You know the usual script. If the Pack dominates the first half MM may sit Aaron Rodgers earlier than he should in the second half.

MM has to stop babying Aaron Rodgers. He's not paid huge money to languish on the bench. It's ALWAY "all now" not next season and the next after that.[B] MM has to PUSH his team.

MM needs to promote some REAL PRIDE on his team. The team cannot coast any longer or it's going to be lights out for another season of promise crashing in futility. The same ole same ole.

Attitude !! CRUSH all !!!
