Three reasons why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should lose on SundayBy COREY GRANT - November 11, 2015 The Dallas Cowboys (2-6) will travel to Tampa Bay to face the (3-5) Buccaneers on Sunday. The Cowboys are coming off another tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday night. They currently are on a six game losing streak, and things aren’t looking good as of right now. Even though they aren’t mathematically out of the playoff race because of the NFC East division six losses will be tough to overcome. One thing about this team though is you won’t see them quit no matter what you can tell they’re still fighting to try, and get a win under their belt to stop the bleeding. This will (hopefully) be the last game the Cowboys will play without Tony Romo because he’s dearly missed, as well as needed. If these last six games tell you anything you can see that he’s irreplaceable. The Cowboys basically have to go 8-0 or at least 7-1 these last eight games to even have a remote chance to get in the playoffs. While it’s not impossible it will be a very hard challenge. I feel like there will be a ton of pressure on Tony Romo to will this team to a seven or eight game winning streak. Not that I don’t think he can’t do it just will be tough to ask one player of that magnitude to do something special like that. But if he somehow pulls it off man oh man it could be a very special thing. But the first thing is they need to focus on trying to win the next game which happens to be against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Run DefenseThe Buccaneers are currently ranked 14th in the NFL in run defense. This defense gives up 3.7 yards per carry. They’re giving up 108.4 total rushing yards per game. That’s right in the middle of the pack in the NFL. I haven’t watched much Bucs games this year to know a whole lot about them especially since the Cowboys doesn’t play them very often. But one of the main problems that maybe the reason why this run defense have given up those amount of rushing yards per game is because of their defense tackle Gerald McCoy.Their all-pro defensive tackle hasn’t been playing like the all-pro there are accustomed to seeing each Sunday. In the last four games he’s only registered just three tackles. In order to keep this defense honest, and guessing you have to run the ball on them. The Cowboys have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, in addition to the running game has been very strong the last 3 weeks with Darren McFadden carrying the load.Home RecordTampa Bay Buccaneers are 1-3 at home. In three of their home games they’ve been outscored 111-55 by their opponents, while not losing by fewer than 14 points. This doesn’t seem like a very good team when they play at home. Not saying this game will be a blowout but the Cowboys shouldn’t look at that, and take this team lightly.However, though it seems like they’re aren’t focused as a team when they play their games at home.Austin Seferian-JenkinsBuccaneers could be without one of Jameis Winston’s favorite targets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Sunday could be his six straight game that he could miss because of a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 1. In Week 1 he lead the team in receiving yards with 110 yards. It felt like Jenkins, and Winston was having an early connection before he went down with his injury. He’s a 6’6 280 pound tight end who has very good athleticism for a tight end. Seferian-Jenkins is a tough tight end to bring down after he catches the ball because he’s big, tough, and strong, in addition to breaking tackles.When he’s in position to make a play he’s very reliable to come down with the football just about every single time. He also has the skills-set to be a very good dependable run blocker at the tight end position taking on defensive ends. If he does play the Cowboys will have an answer to stopping him his name is Byron Jones Mr. Do It All who’s been having a very good season, and might be the Cowboys best defensive player on the team especially at the cornerback position even though he starts at free safety.link
