While I don’t think the Rams will put a beating on the Bucs………..the Bucs simply have way too many injuries on both sides of the ball to overcome…..that’s why the Rams will beat the Bucs today.
There’s only one way these Bucs win today and that’s if the Defense of the Bucs turns this game into an ugly low scoring game to give the Bucs a chance to win.
BUT
The receivers will not be able to stop Cooper Kupp or Beckham……thrown in Cam Akers……..and DAYUM!!!!!! That’s alot to ask any defense to stop.
NO WAY this Tampa team comes out with body language showing defeat! I like that the Rams have beaten us 2x in a row…. gives them that “we are going to destroy them” feelings and THAT is the feeling that will get you beat! LETS GO!
Best bet is to shut down the run and force Stafford to pass…he gets flustered and makes mistakes when called upon to throw a lot.
So, barring a completely dominant start to the game by the Bucs, I suspect the Rams will look best in the first quarter…then the Bucs will come to life in a big way.
No one knows. That’s why we watch. I hate the Rams though, and hope the Bucs roll and that Ricky Proehl and the replay ref from the Bert Emmanuel catch are haunted and often sleep poorly. Never forget ‘99.
It’s all BS! When you are a true fan of any team you will NEVER predict a loss for your guys! To hell with “realism” and cynicism. Let the pundits do their predictions. Fans have faith no matter what!
I am looking for a sea of red in the stands today.
I’m nervous as hell right now. Guess the only way to calm my nerves is to..drink one of these 12 Tequilla shots I got lined up on the counter for game time. Washin’em down with some dos equis. Play like MAD DOGS Bucs!
Stafford was the best against the blitz this year, no interceptions. He made his Mistakes when three or four eventually got to him because there were too many defenders back there taking away his initial option.
Basically make him hold the ball with a lot of people in coverage and he will force it.
If they do bring the blitz, which I fully expect them to do, it needs to be white or whitehead and they need to get home.
I think they will blitz less than normal though.

Hahaha!! “Too weak and nervous to choose” Silly Joe…

Post this poll after our first possession.
January 23rd, 2022 at 12:37 pm
Bucs 34-24…flip the script and welcome the 49ers next week!! I’d love to see a Bucs-Bengals Super Bowl baby!!!
LFG

Jalen Ramsey told Kay Adams this morning when she saw him at the hotel that “we are going to destroy them”
I hope every player in the Buccaneers saw that.
January 23rd, 2022 at 12:58 pm
Play action forces Jalen to make mistakes.

The other thing I’m also watching for……….how these Bucs come out in the first series on offense and defense……….and here’s the reason why:
If their body language are already showing the look of defeat…….this game is already over before it begins…..
HOW HUNGRY ARE YOU BUCS to repeat????

I, of course, chose that we win, but the truth is, I don’t know. This year has been chock full of dramatic wins and a few dramatic losses.
Last week seemed to indicate that the Bucs are in Playoff mode, and that gives lots of hope.
Today will be the defining game. We win this one, and we will likely go all of the way.
January 23rd, 2022 at 1:07 pm
Players sure don’t look “defeated” in the pics arriving at RayJay…including Jensen & Wirfs.
January 23rd, 2022 at 1:11 pm
It all depends on which Bucs team shows up.

We could see Bucs vs Chiefs again this year. That would be ironic.
January 23rd, 2022 at 1:17 pm
@ Buccaneer Bonzai
I Actually am thinking the opposite……..
GOTTA SHUT DOWN THE PASS…….
BLITZ the hell outta them to force Stafford into making a mistake
…..and turn the Rams run game into non-existence
The BUCS can stop the run……….the problem is the passing game…..so if the pass-rush gets home….no way in hell Stafford has a good day passing the ball.
BUT…….Stafford has cannon for an arm and a quick release…..so I’m highly doubtful we can even shut Stafford down.
January 23rd, 2022 at 1:17 pm
Bonzai- ironic means unexpected. A repeat of the best two teams from last year is far from expected. Ironic would be Jets Lions.
January 23rd, 2022 at 1:18 pm
*unexpected.

Better watch out! I heard JW2 has his Rams jersey on!

I don’t understand a buccaneer fan on this website predicting their team to lose either. This is about support and rooting for your team.
LFG!!!!!

Havent been on this site in years, just had to stop by and send our Bucs some love. LFG!!!
Bucs Win 36-24
