Buccaneers 46, Panthers 23
November 15th, 2020
Welcome to 7-3. And it feels so good!!
Our beloved Buccaneers haven’t been 7-3 (or better) after 10 games since 2008.
Joe is fired up. This is a good football team. Even the hardened Bucs skeptics should be punching a believer card right now.
Hooray for the Bucs offense righting the ship today. There was balance, with Brady spreading the ball around beautifully and a running game returning. The red zone work was meh, but it certainly was good enough. Joe won’t quibble with the Bucs pounding out 46 points against an average Panthers defense.
After Ronald Jones’ K-Y hands emerged on an early fumble after a reception, he settled down to rush for 192 yards on 23 carries. And what a freakin’ 98-yard run to the house. Joe hasn’t screamed that loud in years! Major kudos to Bucco Bruce Arians and Byron Leftwich for not pulling RoJo after the fumble.
Jason Pierre-Paul had an interception and a sack, and Tom Brady showed up with a huge day. Joe loves seeing the team leaders rise up in a big game.
The Bucs defense showed plenty of cracks in the first quarter, but they tightened up massively and pressure on Teddy Bridgewater emerged in the second half.
Joe will ignore the massive special teams gaffe and raise a Big Storm Beer to this glorious “W.”
Stick with Joe today and tonight for plenty more out of this glorious victory.

That’s how to stomp on the neck!!!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:05 pm
Yes sir 7-3 feels good!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:06 pm
I see why Jameis ate a W, it definitely taste better than that L last week
November 15th, 2020 at 4:06 pm
Joe how about taking me out of moderation so I can post on the open thread… what gives?
November 15th, 2020 at 4:07 pm
Enjoy it tonight
Next week will be a huge challenge
Great win
GO BUCS
November 15th, 2020 at 4:07 pm
Let’s hold them, Defense.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:08 pm
Shaq with the sack!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:09 pm
Add fifteen on the fair catch.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:10 pm
Bucs win! All is right in the world…until the Bucs lose.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:10 pm
Offense played well outside of the missed deep balls and drops….
Defense has to play with better energy and focus early…
GO BUCS
November 15th, 2020 at 4:10 pm
I want 50….lol…
GO BUCS

Always great to see Blaine Gabbert when the Bucs have a win locked away.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:11 pm
Ronald Jones II put a dagger in Carolina’s momentum and ignited an onslaught of bottle-up aggression the Buc’s were stewing.
A thing of beauty ..7 – 3 Baby!!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:11 pm
I was mad at Ronald and then we went and made the greatest play I have seen in over 14 years. Ronald is the MVP and its not uo for debate. ROJO just won us the game today. If we dint have RoJo we lose.
Now Ronald has to do it again and win us the next game. Thats his new expectation. Ronald became an All Pro today. RoJo can be the biggest rewason Tampa bring home a Lombardi……Not exaggerating. Ronald Jones truely was that good today!!! I cant wait to see hus next game!!!!
Ronald for NFL MVP!!!
GO BUCS WOOOOOO!!!!!!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm

November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm

November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
he could get 200 yards
November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
Great job BL stuck with rojo after his fumble
GO BUCS
November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
Will they take 3 knees or will they try and get ROJO 200 yards
November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
RoJo is eight yards away from 200 yards rushing.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
Game ball to ROJO
November 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
Somebody pass me a beer…. now.
I am celebrating. Every cheer goes to Ronald today
November 15th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
Lots of good performances today but after a really bad play, RoJo was a monster the rest of the game and deserves the game ball.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
And just think how many points we left on the field.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:15 pm
Jmarkbuc, exactly.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:15 pm
Just need to stay away from that zone defense and they’ll.be fine lol. Also keep haeg off field unless it’s as an extra blocker. Hopefully marpet is back next week, but seems this combo was a bit better, respect in the run game. With Jensen at lg seems they got some push. Shipley looked pretty thick
November 15th, 2020 at 4:15 pm
Could have and should have scored 60 today.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:16 pm
And yeah need to work on this deep balls lol… I think maybe just a bit higher trajectory would give.his receiver more of a chance to get.under it
November 15th, 2020 at 4:16 pm
Love Jensen moving to guard. Think we may have found something. Especially when Ali comes back.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:17 pm
I know 2020 is weird Joe, but did it erase the 2010 season where the bucs defeated the 49ers at Candlestick to go 7-3?
November 15th, 2020 at 4:17 pm
7.5 hour wait for their plane to leave? NO PROBLEM!!!! GO BUCS!!!!!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:18 pm
That’s Ali’s spot that Jensen was playing. But yeah I think Shipley may be an alright find if we are in a pinch again. Certainly didn’t have any bad snaps…. And we know Jensen can play guard if needed
November 15th, 2020 at 4:18 pm
KC barely escaped this team last week
November 15th, 2020 at 4:19 pm
Ronald Jones story please Joe!
In other news:
Howard tried eating W’s today, but getting saliva all over his 2 middle fingers was kind of gross and awkward
November 15th, 2020 at 4:19 pm
Elliot nah …….after the game Tom played today he is on pace for 5 5kand 45 TDs. Tom is warmed up and you can see him starting to click…….with Chis….with Mike…..AB fits perfectly…..Brate is strting to get it going with Brady too…..This offense is starting to become unstoppable. It looks like we will only get better……..oh plus Ronald Jones just becane a Top 3 back in the NFL today. He will be #1 next week. Thats my prediction
November 15th, 2020 at 4:20 pm
All good comments, Joe. The good Bucs showed up today. Hope they are here to stay. Great game.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:21 pm
Don’t forget we hung 55 on the Rams last year. A franchise record.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:22 pm
5,500K. Tom will throw 5,500 k this year. And he will net 48 TDs. And it will be easy. Antinio will get 3 and he will get over 500 yards. Chris too.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:24 pm
Good team not a great team.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:25 pm
Awesome way to bounce back.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:26 pm
Jimmy I’ll have what your smoking lmaoo. One gokd game dint make rojo an all pro or top 3 back lol. He’s not better Saquon, Henry, Kamara, or McCaffery. He might be top though but he needs to learn how catch and secure balls better
November 15th, 2020 at 4:27 pm
Go 49ERS!!!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2020 at 4:30 pm
Sorry y’all. The stink of the 38-3 debacle will take more than a Panthers beat-down to scrub out.
If we can beat the Rams and look competent vs. the champs, then I’ll believe that Saints game was just a hiccup.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:31 pm
I think Shipley may have just let us know not to worry if we can’t keep Jensen next year. Kudos to the coaches for making that move with Marpet out.
Defense come out all game and play and we’ll be dangerous.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:32 pm
Big win. Kudos for big time players stepping up. Joes, please put the focus on one of the most important adjustments made from
last week to this one…
Shipley to C
Jensen to G
Both were largely outstanding today- both for how they ably handled the Kitties and for masking/ mitigating 76’s deficiencies.
November 15th, 2020 at 4:42 pm
If anything, Tom was off on passes with guys open. We gotta prove we can beat a legit team against KC or LA or both after getting whomped by NO.
November 15th, 2020 at 5:13 pm
SOEbuc I agree with you. Panthers hung tough until the 2nd half then they faded. Brady threw for a very nice 72% on the day, but it sure did look like almost all of it was short stuff; his deep passes were off the mark time & time again (must’ve been the wind?).
Two keys to the game IMO. First, much better run-pass BALANCE than we’ve had in the last 2 games. Had 37 rushing attempts (3 of which were kneeldowns) and 40 pass attempts (which includes 1 sack). That’s a nice 48% rush-52% pass ratio … nice BALANCE.
Secondly, our defense finally came alive especially in the 2nd half. Teddy Bridgewater was 13 for 13 before our defense apparently said ‘Enough is enough’ and started to shut him down. Even our pass rush came alive some. Now we need to do the same thing to the Rams & Chiefs.
November 15th, 2020 at 5:25 pm
I’m thinking Cappa should get some props too. That was a hell of a play, pulling from the right guard position and blocking around left end. There are a lot of players stepping up.
November 15th, 2020 at 5:28 pm
Plenty of holding not called against the Panthers. When will holding finally disappear as a penalty cos it’s stupid. Bucs eat a good team today. Sick of the 1st down run calls. I had it on radio. Did RonJ fumble to start the game?
November 15th, 2020 at 5:29 pm
Hate IPad as it tries to edit a comment.
November 15th, 2020 at 7:54 pm
Missed most of the game, did Watson really record 3 tackles and a sack?!
November 15th, 2020 at 9:41 pm
where is NDOG and Unrealisto Bucco?
