Notable Defensive Players: Suh, JPP, Barrett, Winfield, Davis, Dean
+ Tom is a statue, so we need to generate pressure through the middle otherwise he has weapons and can hit them in the mid-ranges, similar to Oakland last night. He's infinitely smarter than Carr, but probably less talented than the version of Carr we saw last night - or at least on par.
+ TB's receiving talent is right up there with the best in the league. For some reason Evans/Brady have been slightly off, and we'll have to hope that continues. Gronk is a shell of himself, but still a large target that might be difficult for, say, HB, to defend if the ball is placed in the right location.
+ TB's secondary is young, talented and smart, but prone to youthful mistakes. We should be able to confuse them as the game goes on.
+ TB's run game can be nasty, and we need to shut them down early. Rojo is no joke. [Reply]
The D had all the motivation in the world to show up Sunday night...and extra week to prepare, rested, etc. and they still got dominated IMO. It will come down to match ups and we'll see how people play. [Reply]

Why do they need a 43-year-old has been when the NFL is loaded with young dynamic QBs/
Sammy has to play in this game. Just his presence alone will loosen up the offense and he is always reliable and clutch on 3rd down situations. [Reply]

If The Chiefs show up ready to play, we'll slaughter them.
If The Chiefs show up unfocused and ****ing around, then yes, they could lose.
Man I don't know how you can be so confident with how our D played last game. I think Bucs can keep it close w us they are more talented than Raiders although probably don't matchup as well. [Reply]
