PREDICTION 1. Bucs Will Win One Of The Next Two Games
Don’t ask me which one, but I feel like Tampa Bay will prevail at either Buffalo or Los Angeles against the Rams. Just call it a gut feeling. If I had to guess, it would be next week against the Bills, who are coming off a 30-13 loss to the lowly Dolphins in Miami. The Rams beat the 49ers, 42-26, and I’m not sure Tampa Bay has the firepower to keep up with Matthew Stafford and L.A.
So . . . what say you?
2-0 over the next 2?
Maybe 0-2?
1-1?
How do the Bucs do over the next two? if they win, against which team?
We are def getting one. I'm confident. But this schedule is fucking brutal
Depending on if we get Bucky back, or when/if we get one of last season’s starting WR’s…I’ll go with Buffalo.PREDICTION 1. Bucs Will Win One Of The Next Two Games

I think the Rams have a more complete team and would require at least one more starting level WR.
@white-tiger I wouldn't expect Bucky back until at least after the Rams game unfortunately.
I’m saying 0-2
rooting for 3-0 (yes we are granted an extra win for being so dominate)
but can’t imagine the class of the AFC losing 2 in a row. They are going to be pissed
And feel better about the rams if wasn’t prime time game. Otherwise a sure loss. We beat Houston earlier in the year but they was a different Bucs team
we need to put up 30 to beat either of these two teams and I just don’t see it
Buffalo 30-23 but they control the game and we kick a late field goal to close the game
Rams 24-16. Defense plays strong but we just never get anything going offensively
Thats a tougher road.@white-tiger I wouldn't expect Bucky back until at least after the Rams game unfortunately.
Odd though that I saw Bucky dancing & hopping in the pre-game? Could be you’re right. If so, I’d like my pick back.
Miami defeated Buffalo because Achane ran for 174 yards (all other rushing amounted to about 25 yards) & 2 TD’s. All receiving yards amounted to 173 yards & 2 TD’s.
Looks like one way you can beat Buffalo is by running them down.
However, Pats had a different experience in their win over Buffalo… they had 4 receivers who leveraged the Buffalo secondary with 235 yards (Diggs snagged 146 yards on his own).
So you need a lot of WR’s and a lot of yards and scoring - or a really good feature back and a lot of yards & TD’s.
You also have to have a defense that doesn’t get gashed by long runs, or long bombs.
Should be fun.
0-2, 6-5 overall. 4-2 the rest of the way, 10-7 finish.

The issue is with his shoulder. Apparently, he hasn't shown he can take a hit on his shoulder...
Well, he’s looking a lot more positive, so that indicates he thinks he’s got a plan to get back.Odd though that I saw Bucky dancing & hopping in the pre-game?

Speaks to the point that while the roster depth has not been excellent, it’s been good enough to get 6 wins.
The active roster isn’t on par with the teams we’ll be matching up against for the next two weeks…but we can see some of the cavalry on the horizon.

This is so disappointing because talk about the kind of injury that can limit an RB. Fingers crossed.
Talk is cheap, but i will be interested to see how we perform next game with Mayfield and Bowles calling out the team
“We’re moving forward,” Bowles said of turning the focus to the Bills, the Bucs’ next opponent. “[Mayfield] said some things in the locker room, I said some things in the locker room. We kind of see things the same way most of the time.
“We understand where we are and what we have to do to get better. We’ll go from there.
“Baker is p!ssed. I’m p!ssed. The team should be p!ssed. Everybody should be p!ssed off.”

I cant watch post game pressers after losses so i would hope Baker is blaming himself alot
let's see in our annual nose dive so far
Detroit - put up 9 points, should have been 10 because of dumbass analytics, so we will give him 10 here
Saints - put up 23, but take away the Defensive TD and we are at 16.
Patriots - put up 23 but 7 points were garbage time TD when game was already out of reach, dumbass analytics took away 1 point from him so let's give credit for 17 points here.
averaging 14 points a game on offense...yeah be pissed off Baker...but more importantly, be better
Baker took responsibility for needing to be better, called out his pass to Norton to convert - said if he’d gotten it to Cade higher, he would have had a chance to get the first down. He didn’t, he hit him too low and he didn’t give him a chance.
He also said after the 1st quarter score, he didn’t see good execution now was there a killer instinct.
Thought he took ownership & showed leadership.
I also hate post-game pressers, win or lose, but wanted to see what Baker had to say.

Baker is playing closer to a game manager than an MVP candidate since Detroit.
But a better way to put it is Baker played well above his norm and carried us up until Detroit... Since he's come back down to either and isn't making miracle scrambles and throwing endless darts, it has exposed Grizz's play calling.
So in short, Baker has done far more good than bad and hasn't turned the ball over... Despite a new coordinator shitting the bed.
Baker hasn't played well but again this falls on Grizz.
