Buccaneers 14, Seahawks 5
November 27th, 2016
What a statement by the Buccaneers defense!
Holy crap!
Joe’s feeling like it’s 1997. What a dominant performance for your 6-5 — and now very relevant — Bucs.
Two drives into the third quarter and Russell Wilson was 5-for-14 for 33 yards. Unreal!
Drive after drive after drive the Bucs defense came up big. And what a moment it was for Alterraun Verner, whose father died Friday, to pick Wilson late in the first half. After getting tackled, Verner was mobbed by a majority of his teammates at midfield. Verner had other strong moments, too.
A sack and a half for Noah Spence, and he was factor in the run defense. A sack and a half, too, for Gerald McCoy.
It was simply a total effort on defense. Mike Smith deserves free beers and dinner all week across town.
Joe cannot overstate how great this defensive effort was.
On the offensive side of the ball, Mike Evans made the vaunted Seattle secondary look like Largo High School. Evans now has his third 1,000-yard season in the books.
Lot of heroes today for the Bucs, but make no mistake, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, stirs the drink. His newfound consistency and the power of his leadership is rubbing off.
Stick with Joe through the night from the happy Bucs locker room.

November 27th, 2016 at 7:06 pm
Best defense in years!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:07 pm

November 27th, 2016 at 7:07 pm
I am officially renaming our home field as the Den Of Aggression!!!! WE KICKED A$$….LET GO BUCS….THE 2002 BUCS PLAYED TODAY!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:08 pm
You better believe we’re sticking with you tonight Joe! I can’t wait to hear the sound of celebration from a Buc’s locker room heading into December!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:08 pm
Whatever it takes to keep smith must be done. Glazers must must must must must throw the bank at that man!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:08 pm
Time for a Licht dive
November 27th, 2016 at 7:08 pm
Can we all take a second to acknowledge that 813bucgurl was right about dirk = Jim tomsula and has clearly lost the locker room!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:09 pm
LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT
:Does Ed Lover Dance:
Game ball to the DLine.
Let’s see how many posts before someone complains.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:09 pm
😭😭😭😭😭😭 tears of joy over here …so pumped!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:10 pm
Wow what a game!!! Defense was swarming all night. Secondary was shutting down Seattle’s receivers, after that straight-up NASTY pass rush was eating Russell Wilson’s dinner all night.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:10 pm
Are we contenders now? Was this the Statement game we have been waiting for? I think we just put the rest of the NFC on notice, what do you guys think?
November 27th, 2016 at 7:10 pm
Vintage Bucs game from the late 90’s, early 2000’s. Meaningful games in December. You can’t ask for more. Well done!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:10 pm
Defense gets the game ball here.
They played effin great!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:10 pm
One word…. WOW
November 27th, 2016 at 7:11 pm
The Glazers need to pay Mike Smith whatever it takes for him to stay here as the DC.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:11 pm
What a victory!!!!!!
This is our defense!!!!
Good job #3!!!!
Go Bucs!!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:11 pm

November 27th, 2016 at 7:13 pm
Love it! But damn they should’ve hung 30 on them!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:13 pm
Guys why can’t we get organized like the actual foot games do.
Lets create the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan club and there we decide what chants to do and what not and the stadium
Is never silent.
Let’s go BuCS!!!!!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:14 pm
OMG!!! Statement made…we are the BUCS…. come get some….
November 27th, 2016 at 7:14 pm
Many talking heads said after the chiefs game that we were on our high horse.. That Seattle was on a roll…first the 7-2 Chiefs…now the 7-2-1 SEAHAWKS…DALLAS AND DAK BETTER GET THEIR BOYS ON ICE ASAP AND BEEF UP THEIR O-LINE CAUSE I THINK THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS ARE HERE TO STAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:15 pm
Great game great game so awesome
November 27th, 2016 at 7:16 pm
That’s just a nasty f**king defense we saw today.
Nasty AF!
Wow…
Go Bucs!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:17 pm
Well done, team.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:17 pm
RYAN RUSSELL!!! GIVE HIM HIS PROPS TOO JOES!
2 SACKS!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:18 pm
great defensive game.Great plays by Macdougald at the end of the game. john lynch-like hit to knock a completion to the ground.McCoy showed what he can do with complementing teammates.Russell and Spence made a big difference also.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:20 pm
Last week, tons of media & fans didn’t give the Bucs a chance of winning this game. On Friday wrote … “Bucs won’t win unless our defense really stands tall. Our D will have to force 3-and-outs consistently or we’ll be in trouble” and predicted a Bucs victory. Guess what … Bucs defense stood REALLY TALL and only gave up ONE 3rd down conversion all game, forced 3 turnovers, and had 6 sacks. DLine showed what it can do when healthy. Awesome game Bucs! Keep ’em coming.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:21 pm
great win… huge play by GMC. biggest win in years. defense was out of its mind. anyone else but wilson and they have twice the sacks.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:21 pm
Five points.
Let that sink in…..5.
In terms of football that’s a heroic effort. I’m so happy with the Bucs effort today! GMC and LVD were all over the place making huge plays!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:24 pm
I would like to say the so called Ice Cream Man was dishing out ice cream cones today, the edge Rush was coming from both sides today, have we found another edge rusher in Russell, 5 games to play with 3 games to win to show improvement over the last REGIME! Which I expect this team to do! VERY GOOD TEAM WIN!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:27 pm
don’t even know what to say other than wow this is the best win in a looooooong time ! Change is here! Time to believe! Even the biggest haters here have to be rejoicing to some degree
November 27th, 2016 at 7:27 pm
Just bought my tickets to the Saints vs Bucs on Christmas Eve. I REALLY hope that game has playoff implications!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:28 pm
Dominating victory!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:28 pm
GLAZERS,
MAKE MIKE SMITH ASST HEAD COACH AND GIVE HIM A HUGE CONTRACT NOW PLEASE.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:30 pm
It was only Seattle. It was only a 9 point win. Dirk has clearly lost the locker room. We obviously should’ve taken Mariota over Jameis. Why did we ever fire Lovie?
Anybody else notice the Bucs pass defense got gashed by Wilson in the first half for 1 yard passing? And the Seahawks O-Line kept the Bucs down to 6 sacks. How can anybody celebrate this “victory.”
November 27th, 2016 at 7:30 pm
Anyone badmouthing GMC is in MAJOR trouble with me. My gawd, Cardiac Bucs!!! Good thing I have low blood pressure!!! GO MIGHTY BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:32 pm
Great game! McCoy Haters… STFU!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:33 pm
kobe Faker jinx. 2-0
Be nice to me
Absolute worst playcalling i ever seen by koetter the clown
Lets go bucs!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:33 pm
Who is Ryan Russell??? Wow.. That boy good! #stepupkid
November 27th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
We just beat Seattle !!!! What???!!!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:35 pm
Hey where Bighog and Kobe Faker to tell us how bad we suck?
November 27th, 2016 at 7:36 pm
Wow, I never thought the defense I saw earlier this year would turn into this.
Truly amazing turnaround.
Not like this is flukish play, to beat KC and Seattle in convincing fashion is incredible.
If anything both final scores do not reflect how the bucs dominated those two games.
Somebody pinch me.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:36 pm
MadMax
Ryan Russell played well, but he only got 1 sack. The other was awarded to Kwon Alexander.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:37 pm
Proud to be a Bucs fan
November 27th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
hey big hog, no offence intended brother, but the vast improvement,, over stone face smith and the last regime is pretty evident, when was the last time we saw a defensive juggernaut like we seen today, against the mighty seahags to boot!!! well done men, my hat is off to all ya, offense and defense alike go bucs.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:43 pm

November 27th, 2016 at 7:45 pm

Where buc realist at??? I need to borrow some exclamation points
November 27th, 2016 at 7:45 pm
Great game
Go Bucs
November 27th, 2016 at 7:49 pm
Oh ok Rojas, thnx.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:50 pm
You guys. Kobe the faker is a troll. He actually dogged koetter. What a clown that people should stop responding too. Think he is a pissed off jags fan
November 27th, 2016 at 7:52 pm
What a GREAT TEAM WIN!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:52 pm
How can anyone say there isn’t a drastic improvement over the last regime
November 27th, 2016 at 7:53 pm
Great win Bucs! Not 100 sold on MikeSmith yet but Im getting much much closer. Great win go Bucs!!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:53 pm
D-line made the coverage look good,with the exception of Macdougald who was on fire.First the bone jarring tackle to eliminate a first down catch. and then the game saving interception.He deserves a gameball!
Gmc led by example on the d-line and his play helped others get sacks.think of it 4 d-lineman wreaked havoc on Russell Wilson one of the smartest and best
QB’s in the league.All these guys deservge gameballs since offense struggled to score in second half,and they saved the game.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:54 pm
It’s good to see everyone celebrating. Great game all around by Tampa bay. Especially the punt team
November 27th, 2016 at 7:54 pm
NoSBoS is back–so why ain’t he posting on here??? I’m still in shock even though I said we would win.
November 27th, 2016 at 7:57 pm
@Bucs fan #7423
Just having a celebratory drink!!!!! Smiling and feeling very vindicated!!!! For all the good things that are falling the Bucs way!!!!!! The plan is going accordingly!!!!!!!
And use all the “!!!!!!!!!” you need tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go America!!!!!!!
Go joe writing 10 offense stories tomorrow while the defense looks Oh so dominate!!!!!!!!
Go BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 27th, 2016 at 7:59 pm
Just got home from the game. Had Seahawk fans in front of me, beside me, and behind me. Most fun I’ve had at a game in 10 years. Simple as that!
November 27th, 2016 at 8:01 pm
Bucs win Bucs win!! Amazing effort all around. Break up the Bucs!
November 27th, 2016 at 8:04 pm
BUCS FANS! IT TOOK YEARS BUT WE FINALLY GOT A REAL HEAD COACH! WE GOT A REAL QB! WE REAL!
November 27th, 2016 at 8:05 pm
The win that changes EVERYTHING. To those who didn’t throw in the towel. Stand up be proud. To the doubters- In Famous we trust. He and Number 55 lit the fire
November 27th, 2016 at 8:06 pm
That’s the kind of win playoff bound teams win!
November 27th, 2016 at 8:06 pm
now remember the seahawks got one of the worst o-lines also .i live in Seattle they suck at pass protection. but i was surprised how well the secondary covered ,those were coverage sacks,replay showed no one was open
November 27th, 2016 at 8:07 pm
One of those sitting on the edge of your seat games. Good to get that feeling back after 14 years. Wow, good things happen to those who wait. Kick those Cowboys where they sit on their high horses and knock them back to earth! Go TB Bucs!
November 27th, 2016 at 8:07 pm
Dont forget, majority of the nation saw this beat down.
November 27th, 2016 at 8:08 pm
Great defensive performance. But…. We could not get to the end zone in the last three quarters. Missed onefield goal and then passed on two other chances trying to get closer for our poor kicker. A lot to like on those first two drives but they adjusted their defense and we could not respond. Good progress but we still need work
November 27th, 2016 at 8:08 pm
forgot Lvd with his forced fumble recovery and return.Great job,Mike Smith ,you have got to turn this guy loose!
November 27th, 2016 at 8:47 pm
We are out of the dark times- lead by a messiah#3, who has lifted this team in ways only the greats like #s 63, 56, 99, 55 have done…is this SF 1997? Sure as heck feels like it! Let’s keep this thing rolling!!!!
