The Bucs front 4 aren't even close to the '19 9ers. Not in the same conversation at all. [Reply]

That was a thread idea I had, how would you stop the Chiefs offense if you're Todd Bowles, but seemed too arrogant. Still, idk how he's gonna do it. [Reply]
I’m hearing a lot of talk about them being the first team to host a Super Bowl at their stadium, but no ones discussing the obvious other interesting stat that comes from this. Raymond James Stadium is the first stadium to host a Super Bowl that both teams have already won a game on that season. [Reply]

Lol no.
Maybe at LB, but they’re nowhere close to as good of a pass rush.
They don’t have anybody on the edge as dominant as Bosa, and they don’t have an interior pass rusher even remotely close to Buckner. [Reply]
I think Reid will own Bowles for the most part but the Bucs will get pressures/hits. Brady can't move so I think the Chiefs D-line will feast. An early, tone setting collision between Fournette and Dirty Dan is eminent and there will be several. [Reply]

Hell. Even Skip Bayless was reasonable today [Reply]

Even if their front 4 were remotely close to Bosa, Buckner, Armstead, and Ford, the 49ers were outstanding at defending the deep ball. That's hardly the case for the Bucs secondary who Mahomes absolutely lit up. [Reply]

He's gonna have to hope his Dline generates pressure against our makeshift line. Or try and disguise his blitzes with his LB's and hope they get home. [Reply]

Disagree. Their defense is good. That SF defense last year was elite. [Reply]

Their LB’s are their most similar style and so is their entire front. They rely on speed from their backers to cover loose ends and just let those guys go up front and it works. There are very few teams that have a good pass rush to go with a good LB core.
And no their front isn’t as good as SF but they’re pretty goddamned good.
Barrett-27.5 sacks last 2 seasons (3 in GB).
JPP-18 sacks last 2 years (2 in GB)
Suh-6 sacks this year
With this OL I think the gameplan is going to be very similar to what we did in the SB last year. [Reply]

I don’t think Barrett/JPP/Suh are remotely close to Bosa/Buckner/Armstead/Ford.
They’re good. The 49ers pass rush was great/special. [Reply]
