The Bucs have incredible weapons, but they're not the nightmare matchup that the Raiders O is for us because their weapons aren't nearly as speedy. Evans is a strider and will cause some issues in the end zone, as will Gronk, but neither Brown or Godwin are very fast.
Their run game is also kinda meh. They'll stick with it regardless but RoJo and Fourney don't scare me. If we can pressure Brady, we should be able to keep them from grinding out long TD drives.
Their defense could cause some problems. They can get pressure with the front 4 and their inside LBs are the best, and fastest, in the league. I highly doubt we'll see any of our backs beating Lavonte David to the edge. Their secondary is very young, though, so if Mahomes has some time we should be able to get a fair amount of chunk plays.
I honestly have no clue how this one will play out. If both team's A games show up, I believe we will win, but our defense lately has me a bit concerned. I don't expect that we will be as efficient against this capable defense as we were against Vegas' trash heap so if the guys play that uninspired this coming Sunday, we could be in for another nail biter.

The DBs need to be on point, though. Brady's gotten very good at throwing up the arm punts that linger in the air for 4 seconds. I've seen far too many DBs shit themselves and commit a huge 50+ yard DPI.
We can't allow any of that easy shit, cause you know the refs will be looking to flag us any chance they get. [Reply]
This is the second game I've watched TB and find myself not terribly impressed on either side of the ball. This can't be the class of the NFC I'm watching here. [Reply]

They’re not very good. If Daniel Jones didn’t have hooves for hands and was accurate the Giants would’ve beaten them by two scores [Reply]

Yeah, I saw that game as well. Or part of it anyway.
I'm not saying they're bad, but they aren't shutting down Goff and company either, and the Rams aren't a terribly explosive offense. And their defense is good, sure, but I haven't watched them and thought, "wow, that's a great defense." Not once. [Reply]

Yep. That’s what I’m saying. If Jones was accurate the Giants...the freaking Giants, would’ve won comfortably. They had guys running wide open most of the game and he couldn’t hit them. The Bucs aren’t very good. [Reply]
Bucs have the #4 ranked defense. They are currently tied with LA that just picked off Brady so that is awesome. I think we win and our next scary game is @ the Saints. If we win those games, AFC Championship Game here we come!
Not too worried about Miami or Chargers after the previous 2 games.

If that #4 ranked defense blitzes us like they have the Rams, Mahomes will have a career day. [Reply]
