    Equivalent to KC's Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelce

    A dangerous speed WR, big bodied physical WR and pass catching RAC TE.

    Fitz has been on par with or better than Mahomes through 2 games. We're playing on the road where "Bad Ben" has been known to crap the bed with frequency these past few years. However, we have been pretty good on Monday nights. The defense so far has had the stopping power of a pee soaked paper bag.

    I hope it will be a close game where we come out on top but I'm interested to see how the defense adjusts to a similarly explosive offense that TB fields.

    What say you?

    Don't forget about Chris Godwin. I watched him at PSU and he's very good too.

    Hopefully, pass rush gets pressure. You can have a bunch of good receivers but if you don't have time to throw, it makes it hard.

    Hopefully, Watt, Tuitt, Hargrave, Heyward, and by some miracle of god Dupree get after Fitzpatrick.

    I think our defense plays better on the road(besides NE) but our offense also plays worse lol. Ben loves night primetimes though.

    yup, if there ever was a turning point. Part of me says this team is going to break out and be a decent 10 win team, the other part of me says the defensive woes continue, ben looks flat, and we lose a turd game thus ending our season.

    Maybe it's the fan in me, but I think we embarrass the Bucs tonight on their own field.

    There is a reason Fitzpatrick has been a journeyman quarterback. He has had some great games, but counting on consistency from him is foolish. Also, for all his upside, Howard is not on Kelce's level.

    The return of Joe Haden should also help. His absence certainly made things a lot worse last week.

    My point is that there are reasonable arguments for the defense to be better tonight. Then again, they really couldn't be much worse.

    Fitztouchdown has to regress to his mean sooner or later. Hope this is the game he looks like the Amish rifle again.

    At least you have a few players, Brady's lame game last night could be costly, Who would of thought I would of been better off starting Stafford over Brady?

    A couple of top-7 offenses and bottom-5 defenses. They may have to put extra digits on the scoreboard.

    Those aforementioned three were already dicussed in great detail after the Kansas City game.


    What difference would it be to discuss them in depth now than last Sunday? As many of us know, the weapons Tampa Bay has are a near carbon copy of what the team faced in Kansas City.


    Only major difference, better or worse being irrelevant, is the fact that Tampa does not have a speedster like Tyreek Hill but a monster in Mike Evans. O J. Howard may not be Travis Kelce now. However, in time, he will be a top 5 tight end; likely sooner than later if he continues to showcase his talents.
