Like all Buc fans, I want to see a win today but given the injuries it is going to be a tough game to get the W. Bucs do have a chance if they drop the play not to lose mentality, the D does not give up any explosive plays (it might help if Dean stays on the field unlike last week) and on O the Bucs control the game tempo, converting 3rd downs and playing turnover free ball. Of course, the Bills need this game too, probably even more so than the Bucs. In the end will the Bucs want it more than the Bills? If they do they have a chance. First team to 23 wins.
The Bills low key stink. They have a lot of the same problems we do, but a little worse. Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s an easy win. I think Bucs ultimately lose late. If it’s another Philly/Det game we got big problems.
I struggle to see us score more than 20 points, but Bowles seems to throw together a couple of gems (Defensive game plans) each year. So unless our defense pulls a rabbit out the hat – I just don’t see how we win this game or next game.
At full strength, both teams are comparable IMO. We beat them in 2021 (33-27) when we were both solid teams, but lost to them in 2023 (24-18) when we were going through our rebuilding.
Only question today is … ‘Which teams will show up?’ We’re both 6-3, and the 3 games they’ve lost were because of (1) turnovers; and (2) defense limited Allen & Cook to 0 TDs. If our ‘good Bucs’ team’ shows up & uses a similar approach, we’ll win.
Every team has injuries so that can’t be an excuse every week. It obviously plays a part but you have to make the plays you can make. Let’s see what team shows up today.

I’d feel a little better if the Bills didn’t get smacked down last week. Kicking a 50 yarder for the win today would be awesome though.

I voted not sure because every time I vote yes I jinx them.

Some confidence – little confidence. Need a team win for sure. Go Bowles!

6-4.
Doom loop of mediocrity.

I feel a win. But I don’t know why…

Predict much like the Lions game, the Bills jump up quick to comfortable lead and coast against the Bucs defense the rest of the game!

Obvious One … ‘I feel a win. But I don’t know why…’
Don’t know why? Hmmm, nothing obvious jumped out at ya?
Doesn’t matter, I’ll stick with you. I feel a win too.

If offense score more than 24, we win no doubt about it

Optimism vs Realism, taking optimism with one eye on realism. Am a Bucs fan so no room for Pessimism.

Ye of little faith.
Bucs easily.

If the history of the Bowles mid-season slump means anything, they will come out flat and lose a game far less close than the score will dictate.
Dungy couldn’t win
Gruden could
Bowles can’t win
???? Who will take this team farther

Bills blow out flailing Bucs, Todd reuses old excuses.
