Historically Hot

January 24th, 2021

Welcome to the first seven-game winning streak in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history.

That’s no typo.

What you’re experiencing now is something you’ve never felt previously.

Yeah, the Bucs are that good.

They just beat three division champs on the road in the playoffs.

Coaches like to blubber about complementary football, you know, all phases playing well enough to cover for each other. And that’s exactly what the Bucs have been doing for the past seven games.

Special teams showed up today in the form of returner Jaydon Mickens and kicker Ryan Succop with a big-time, big-money field goal in the fourth quarter.

The defense bent but toughened up in the red zone, and Jordan Whitehead and Sean Murphy-Bunting each made multiple impact plays.

Ronald Jones was invisible, but Leonard Fournette was huge. The Bucs’ big-time receivers had their struggles, but the second-teamers made huge plays.

And the living-legend quarterback did what he always does, enough to win.

The Bucs are marching to the Super Bowl with a complete football team, and to hopefully what will be their first eight-game winning streak.

    Put these guys in a bubble.

    Definitely playing the Chiefs. I know the Chiefs are good but how exactly did the Bills get this far in the playoffs? They look awful. Word to the wise. When losing to the Chiefs, it’s not a good idea to kick 2 fgs instead of going for 4th and goal from the 3.

    I love RoJo but the Bucs strayed away from the hot hand.

  4. Oxycondoms Says:

    At least bucs played chiefs once before that may help. Im not looking foward to facing hill again

  5. Bucfanforever Says:

    Chiefs are overrated, just like the Packers and the Saints.

  6. Bird Says:

    Ndog is a moron and a coward 😂

  7. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Chiefs are not overrated. Bowels is going to need to double Hill and match up LVD on Kelce. Can’t play on an island against Hill.

    It’s gonna be a hell of a game in 2 weeks. KC can score from anywhere and can do it faster then most team meaning they’re never out of a game. Can’t wait to see the Bucs hammer the Chiefs giving them the well deserved super bowl trophy after beating every NFC division winner and last years champs. Going to be a great 2 weeks to enjoy!

  9. AlV Says:

    We literally shut down the Chiefs after the first quarter. We were the better team for the remaining 3 quarters of that game.

  10. Go Bucs! Says:

    Bucs are a much more confident team since they last played KC.

  11. Bird Says:

    I wonder how many records were set this year?

    Joe

    Any word on whitehead shoulder?

  12. Oxycondoms Says:

    Did chiefs let up or did bowles make an adjustment after the first quarter? That was a nasty first quarter performance by hill

  13. Tbbucs3 Says:

    I wouldn’t be taking away too many positives based on the last time we played the Cheifs. We were unable to stop Hill and Mahomes threw for near 500 yards. It was a beatdown even though the score was closer than it seemed.

    But yes, the Bucs are a MUCH better team now than they were in mid season. It would not be wise to match up Davis vs Hill again without any help.

    They are who we thought they were lol

    GO BUCS

  15. Joe Says:

    Any word on whitehead shoulder?

    Will check his video. Nothing (yet). Likely may know a little more tomorrow after tests.

  16. ModHairKen Says:

    Tyreek Hill is a mortal. Mahomes is less than 100 %.

    Winning back to back SBs ain’t easy.

    7 hard fought games and this is a good bye week for the Bucs. Well deserved rest. Heal those aching muscles and joints and come back refresh and stronger. Hopefully, We get AB and Winfield back and nothing serious injury to Whitehead.

  18. EA Says:

    Mahomes-Kelce-Hill, deadly combo right there. I was rooting for the bills here because I think they’re the weakest of the two but either they aren’t as good as everyone thought or the chiefs are in a league of their own.

  19. Jerry Says:

    The good news is nothing KC has will surprise us, because of that regular season game. So Todd Bowels now has a few weeks to figure out a gameplan to limit Hill, Kelce, and Mahomes and get Davis some help. Whatever he did in the reg season game didn’t work. So need to dig into the film and the X’s and O’s and figure it out.

  20. SlyPirate Says:

    This should a great Super Bowl.

  21. a-bomb Says:

    Big 50 made a HUGE difference today. When we played the Chiefs we didn’t have Big 50. With him, this defense is bad ass.

  22. Anonymous Says:

    The three division champs the Bucs beat all had less talent.

    Ever since Brady mostly replaced Leftwich as the de facto playcaller, Bucs offense is a lot closer to its potential.

  23. Michael Pengelly Says:

    Gotta double Hill and put another ace on Kelce. Pressure on Mahomes will also help. This is a dangerous opponent to be sure. It will take 60 min football to beat them.
