Why Sunday's game will be closer than you think...

This is going to be a defensive struggle and likely a low scoring affair. At first glance a name like the San Francisco 49ers sends cold chills down your back thinking oh **CENSORED**, it's gonna be a blow out. Well let's look at the numbers a bit for further investigation.Defense:Tampa: Bend but don't break mentality that makes more mistakes that comfortable with but also forces a lot of turnovers by way of INT and fumble.49ers: Legit all around. We're talking about a Panthers talented front 7 with more talent on the back end. Advantage to the 49ers with no question. We can stay in it if we force 2-3 turnovers and Glennon stays clean.The real discussion is the coming back to earth of Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers offense. San Fran is ranked 28th in the league on offense boasts an abysmal 37% 3rd down conversion rate even though they are often put in manageable 3rd down situations as the result of a powerful offensive line and RB. I like this match up as our penetrating style of line play does well against slower more powerful runners as it causes them to redirect and not be able to establish momentum. As a passing, Kaep is currently putting up very Glennon like stats across the board. He has 16 TD passes in 13 games. 11 are to Vernon Davis and the other 5 to Anquan Boldin. This is of noted because if you passed 3rd grade you'll do the math correctly and realize that he has 0 td passes to any other player this year. I really like this match up as offenses often do not travel well and we all know the struggles away teams have on cross country flights at 1pm kick off. Plus we have Revis who can do a very nice job on Bolden and the combination of David/Barron should be able to slow Vernon Davis.To sum up, I don't think we win this game simply because we still make a ton of mistakes on both sides of the ball. We've also just eclipsed the 1,000 yard penalty mark for the year. The lower scoring the game, the more the penalties hurt. I think our defense will do a good job against a 49er offense that looks nothing like it did last year. Wild card is Mike Crabtree has returned and is ready to play i believe. I see the bucs losing a tight one 20-13.

If this is one of those "we weren't prepared" games then this could get really bad.

Schiano will get outcoached. To what level will be the main question.Will he lose it later, or will he get his ass handed to him the whole time? I say he gets abused.

The Bucs got their asses handed to them and lost late. Posted : Dec. 17, 2013 11:24 am Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 I just wanna see McCoy against Mike Iupati..
