bucsfan333 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We're riding high after a huge win last week. But everyone is saying "on to the next one." Can we keep it going? We (likely) face the notorious Buc killer in Case Keenum, with Bradford sidelined with a knee injury. Dalvin Cook looks like the real deal. Can our defense keep this momentum going? Can our oline hold up against their nasty front seven? Can Jameis avoid mistakes against a very good, opportunistic defense? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bando Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Really excited for this match-up. Will be a tough test on the road. Want to see how our oline holds up against a really good front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibucsfan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Game 1 for teams is always the game to wipe off the rust. I think we come out sharper on offense in this one. We saw how some of ours guys were running out of air quickly because they were not in shape, we saw bad timing on some of the deep throws.... That's the kind of rust that will be wiped off. Little things like that i feel like will contribute to a much better performance. Our defense needs to do better. I feel like we were not that good. VH3 and secondary was getting eaten alive by no name WR's. Glennon was just being a good ex teammate and giving us gifts all day, but I feel like we performed average at best on D. We shut down their run well but when I saw the passing numbers....Glennon went 31/45 for 301 yards....and that was with the 5-6 drops they had. The pass rush does need to be better but guys like VH3 just need to make a damn play. A lot of those throws was just VH3 not being able to deflect the ball out of targets way. Anyways, enough for Bears game, regardless who starts at QB for Vikings, we gotta play better than we did last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 VHIII gave up 4/6 passing for like 35 yards and Grimes gave up 7/7 for like 95 against Chicago. Our CBs definitely need to do a better job this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifference Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm not really too concerned with the DB's. I've seen enough of VG3 and Grimes to know they belong and can make plays. Rust perhaps? Idk Anyway, I think we should win this game with or without Bradford playing. Rhodes will make it tough for Evans but I think we're going have D Jack go at Trae Waynes who is a struggling corner right now. I like our defensive line vs their OL and our backers will keep Cook in check. If Winston doesn't turn the ball over, I think we win by at least 2 possessions.

I'll be interested to see if Koetter moves DJAX to slot to match up with Newman. I expect a lot better execution on both sides of the ball. Last week was so out of the ordinary for preparation. I believe Jameis is at the point of his career, he ll find a way to win. Since, Jameis was drafted, the team has always played well on the road. I think Ward gets more playing time and I expect Jaqueis Smith activated this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ashamed if Bradford can't go. Hopefully, his knee won't keep him out too long. Considering Keenum has beaten them the last 2 times, I'm sure Mike Smith will have no problem getting the players attention this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameis seems to play better when he is playing indoor stadiums too. I sense a good game from Winston with a possible INT but we win anyway. Interested to see how Zimmer is going to play us. The more bodies the better, the depth on this team is the best its ever been in God knows how long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the W because if we can't win the division at the very least we should be able to snag a wildcard spot. Got to beat up on the NFC North and have a winning record in our division and we should be a lock in. Going 3-1 in the NFCN assures us good position in for wildcard if we are unable to dethrone the Falcons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 curious to see how Zimmer calls the game. Does he give Rhoades help over the top with a safety? Griffen is very good, but if he tries to rush inside of Smith and gives Jameis the corner where he is very good at scramble drill? The Bears rushed just 4 most of the game. Im curious to see how confident Zimmer is with his secondary to put them in man coverage across the board to send 5 or more. Going to be an fascinating chess match. I do see a shallow cross to DJax some time in this game getting over 20 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koetter said that Evans still got double teamed more often than not against Chicago. Jameis needs to figure out the deep ball because DJax should see a lot of single coverage again this week. And I don't think Minnesota has anyone who can keep up with him AND play good coverage. If Jameis can at least keep the ball in play, we should get a DPI or two at the very least.

Glennon had like 147 passing yards through the first 3 quarters of football. He got most of his yards during garbage time. Yeah the corners got beat but they didn't really give up big plays. Pass rush was mitigated because the Bears really did a lot of quick throws and not too many long developing routes. Its really hard to say how good the pass rush is when Glennon is literally throwing the ball for 5-6 yards a completion. The Bears offensive line is actually a decent group too, they had 2 stud guards in the game and McCoy was hitting Glennon all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'd say Sitton is their best olineman. But that's splitting hairs. Speaking of hairs, Cody Whitehair is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
