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]
I'm expecting one hell of an entertaining game like the Chiefs at Rams 54-51 game. The Bucs defense was supposed to be "best in the league" but I watched Jared Goff and Robert Woods rip them apart so surely Mahomes and company can score a lot on them. [Reply]

Which opens up KC vs New Orleans on 12/20. The SNF game as of now is SF@Dallas. [Reply]

Makes sense. Having a great team and the best QB means we rarely have noon games. Every game is primetime or the afternoon "game of the week". Which is kind of a bummer because I really like noon games. [Reply]

Scared? No. But we can't take them lightly, either. This team is capable of losing to just about anyone but also capable of beating anyone. They have a lot of talent and Brady is still Brady. Well, he's not the same QB he used to be but he still shows some greatness from time to time. [Reply]

The Buccaneers have their bye after they play us. You have to wonder if some of these old ass dudes are getting worn down a bit (Brady, Gronk, Suh, JPP). [Reply]
