“We Don’t Like Them. They Don’t Like Us.”
December 3rd, 2025
The slimy Saints are a miserable two-win football team in the midst of a seven-game showcase of horrendous football on the offensive side of the ball.
They did manage to beat the Panthers 17-7 four weeks ago, so they are capable — at least on defense.
Mostly, though, the Saints are good at being classless.
“We don’t like them. They don’t like us,” Baker Mayfield said today of the Bucs’ division rival.
Mayfieild is all business when it comes to Sunday.
“They play hard,” Mayfield said. “You can see it on the tape based on the other games they’ve played since we’ve played them last. It shows. So we know what to expect. Record doesn’t indicate how physical this match up is going to be, what a tough matchup it is. So they know us. We know them well. So it’s one of those who can execute bettter and be the more physical team.”
Mayfield is right about the Saints’ defense. They’re solid. Kool-Aid McKinstry is a live, hungry body at cornerback and overall New Orleans plays decent run defense. Washed out Cameron Jordan has even found his way to 6 1/2 sacks.
But make no mistake, the Saints are bad. Not only do they turn the ball over at an incredible rate, they’re averaging 12.9 points per game since Oct. 5.
Joe looks forward to Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht dunking on Cameron Jordan again on social media at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

The Putrid Pass Defense wont be tested this week but Im sure the Saints QB will have his best day as a Pro.

Yes , hope the Bucs don’t sleep on this one. This is a division game with 2 teams whom detest each other. Cam Jordan never misses a beat to say something bad about the Bucs. In fact he won’t ever consider us a rival, he thinks that little.
Sweeping the Saints will be no easy task. They will be amped looking to throw a wrench in any playoff plans.
Hopefully the offense continues on with Godwin , Bucky and J Mac this week. The defense I am afraid to even think about!!. I have said and will continue to say McColumn really needs to be benched. While he is not the only problem on defense, he is a huge 1. Teams will continue to go after him each week until something changes. I think the best thing is to get him off the field!!

All I can say to the Bucs is WATCH OUT FOR HIP DROP TACKLES! They are a pretty dirty team and have been for ages.

We beat them 23-3 at their dome. Just take care of business.

This team is getting dialed in and I like to hear about them being fired up for this game. Hope they start strong and don’t take their pedal off the gas.

Maybe Jason Licht should shift his focus on keeping receipts and dunking on Cam Jordan to actually improving his ability to find an Edge rusher! The whole receipts thing is getting old. Hopefully we will make it to the playoffs and deeper, but it coukd have been alot easier path if out GM wasn’t arrogant in his picks. I said it before the trade deadline, lack of edge was going to hurt us and it has done. The coaching staff will need to adjust and cover it as best they can. Team his getting healthy and I will always cheer the bucs to win. I like Jason and Todd, I think they have done a great job in building this team but they also both need to self reflect on their weaknesses too and Improve them. For Jason its inability to draft edge and LB so admit it and just trade for them. For Todd he needs to hold the team more accountable in media to improve his image as a soft coach.

We need to get out of this with a “W” and no significant injuries.
