Talking Tampa Bay Buccaneers - What do you know?

[beo]

Could we maybe lure the buc fuger back out of retirement? 

In all seriousness, I don't expect much. I expect Tampa to win by a decent margin, Godwin and Evans on our corners just isn't ideal. I will be watching our defensive line eagerly though, the Bucs do not have the best offensive line in football. Last week, our DL played arguably a top 3 OL in football. This week? I think they have a fighting chance to show out. Burns on Smith, as someone pointed out earlier, isn't a good matchup for Tampa. Neither is Ryan Jensen on Derrick Brown. Kawann Short will once again be in a one on one, except this time it will not be against a Gabe Jackson caliber player. Maybe he can show he still has something left, maybe not. Either way, I will personally be watching the DL very closely. 

Outside of our DL though, I'm not very thrilled.

I expect to see Brady go for 400 and "return to form", but as long as we show fight unlike that shitshow last year i'll be good. They fought hard against Oakland, I hope to see more of the same this week.

Man o man...if we beat Tampa they might just implode.

Last year Teddy beat the Bucs 31 to 24.  He was 26 for 34 with 4 TD's and 1 Int and a passer rating of 131.2  Hope his confidence and good play carries over to this year...you never know!

Not a great Raiders pass rush but 16th is respectable considering our OL quality. 

[Jeremy Igo]

Panthers did not record a sack or QB hit the entire game. 

 

Good news is the Bucs OL is no where near as good as the Raiders.

A lot of that is factored into quick passes we saw to the RB.  

Josh Jacob's was targeted 8 times and the TE 6 out of the total 28 pass attempts.

 

Also to remember the Raiders had one of the top OL in the entire NFL last season as well.

Drew Carr is #8 in Time To Throw this season. Not only did they have a good line but they were getting rid of the ball quickly. Teddy was actually #9 so the pressure we gave up in comparison should give a general idea of how much worse our OL is.
