Fellow Fans! Need not panic. The next 4 games will be tough 

Baltimore 

Atlanta 

@ KC

SF

we then have our Bye week to get things right onto our playoff run

looking at that schedule 1-3 onto a 5-5 record is most likely 

1-3 and we likely end the season 10-7, 11-6

If we manage to win 2 games then he’ll this team could contend for the superbowl 

but just remember we will likely be big underdogs in those non division games as we open 4.5 pt dogs at home versus Baltimore 

Just dont panic. It will be a trying next 4 weeks. Here’s hoping the Bucs make me eat crow and we exceed my expectations

We're a good football team, teams should be worried of us

We are a good football team but 3 of the next 4 games are against the cream of the crop

Baltimore Ravens +4.5 point favorites against us on our turf. Why?  They are riding a 4 game win streak and have beaten the Cowboys, Bills, Bengals, and Commanders. They have the leagues MVP and not to mention Derrick Henry. 

KC - i mean.  they are looking to 3 peat, are struggling yet they are undefeated.  In Arrowhead?  

SF - they look beatable but let's hope we don't catch them when they figure shit out.

We are Buc Fans but if you ask anyone else around the league, we would rank 4th amongst these 4 teams.

Oh, that Atlanta home game after Baltimore game is a MUST WIN.

2-2 with the wins being Atlanta and SF will go a long way

I think we should be content with 2-2. I do think that Niners game is a lot more winnable now with CMC out(as of now)

KC, Baltimore, and SF have nasty DL though so it'll be a challenge. Chris Jones might break the sack record vs Cody Mauch

the iOL weakness will get exploited - on the flipside our DL should give KC and Baltimore all they can handle.

Remaining schedule after this gauntlet:

@NYG, @CAR, V Raiders, @LAC, @DAL, v CAR, v Saints

The worst case here should be 5-2 with 6-1, 7-0 as possibilities.

so 5-5 ain't the end of the world. With the NFC North have 4 teams with our record or better, 10 wins may be the least amount of wins needed to knab a wild card spot if we lose out on division.

Ravens - their secondary sucks and we're strong against the run. Bucs by 5

Falcons - revenge game. Bucs comeback win by 9.

Chiefs - close game, they get questionable calls down the stretch and we lose by 10.

Niners - we go down 17 early and find a way to win on a last second FG.

love the positivity.  If we manage to go 3-1 and therefore 7-3 before our east stretch, what do you have us at 12-13 wins?

Of course the Ravens have a devastating offense.  If I'm trying to find a light at the end of the tunnel that isn't a train called Henry, then it is that this isn't a must win game for Baltimore.  It isn't a division game.  3 of the 4 following games are division games.  but it's a MNF game, which does put a spotlight on the game.  So that kind of takes away the idea they'd look past it.  So never mind.

Agree about the Ravens secondary, but NOT about being able to corral Derrick Henry AND Lamar. Our offense is going to have to be explosive and consistent - with no repeats of the 2nd quarter against the Saints… if you let Lamar & Henry get ahead on points, the Ravens won’t give it back the way the Saints did. 

The way folks have stopped Henry is to get ahead on points and get to him in the backfield, setting the edge has not been a strength of this defense…and if you can’t do that Lamar will be dangerous.

It’ll be interesting to see what wrinkles Bowles can come up with…

Coen has certainly shown his offense can scheme up an explosive option with the weapons we have - would be nice to have Mike Evans on two legs heading into this game.

Sure is fun all of a sudden!

Ravens are a run heavy team, we actually match up really well on defense, so stylistically we have the edge imo. Hopefully we can continue to ride the Tampastrong wave and the crowd comes out strong on Monday night. Something about this hurricane is gonna bring this city/team closer. The way the team handled it taking care of the teams families makes you wanna go the extra mile for your employer or whoever, I'm sensing a strong focus on this team. 

 

I know it doesnt work this way but if you believe Detroit can beat these teams, we can beat these teams, no fear

Not sure I agree with the matchup concept. I think mobile QB’s with a howitzer arm give Todd Bowles trouble.

any QB that can throw gives todd bowles defense trouble, especially with decent Ol that can stopour mild pass rush

I do not expect us going better than 1-3 next four games but this team can definitely make playoffs. so this is another fun year ... running just fine since 2020
