OK, that nickname isn't likely to stick, but the Bucs have been playing clean football. It must be making Todd Bowles very happy.  

INTs:  0.  Fumbles:  0.  Sacks allowed:  1.  

Vikings drives - No drive started past the 35.

Bears drives - One drive started at the 50.  No other drive started past the 25.  

The Vikings only had 33 total return yards.  Bears - 0 returns for 0 yards.  

One FG missed (blocked).  No XPs missed.  

Perhaps Bowles inspirational preseason message hit home... "Don't turn the ball over!  Don't turn the ball over!  Don't turn the ball over!..." 

 The Bucs did have some penalties and negative plays this game, which they avoided the first game.    The Eagles are obviously a better team, so we'll see how this trend holds up.  But so far the Bucs are playing almost mistake free football.

Nice to be 2-0, but let's not forget last year's Bucs began 2-0 with solid road wins vs good teams last season, and finished 8-9. The Iggles will be a good litmus test to see where the 2023 Bucs stand. 

GO BUCS!

Yes but the offense looks much better this year through the 2-0 comparisons 

the hope is that the defense doesn’t fall off. 

would like Bucs to clean up pre snap penalties

Last year we had Lefty calling the absolute worst plays I've ever seen.

And Brady was clearly not 100% right with his divorce.

Different team. I hope we win next week but more importantly I want to see us compete.
