Don´t really like our chances. I still think Goff plays. The Rams are still the best chance. Otherwise, it's Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually more likely WFT beats TB than the Rams win in Seattle (according to advanced metrics). But it's very close. About 1/4 chance of each.

That game will be low scoring and close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger things have definitely happened, but I'm skeptical it's that close. Is that scoring differential? Don't know, if Tampa's OL plays excellent that wouldn't surprise me. However if that pass rush is getting home, it's going to be close. Games to me are always about a team's greatest strength, versus it's opponent's weakness. If you overcome that (like we did vs Henry) it usually goes very well for you. We'll see how the Bucs block them up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like hot garbage against Philly who (1) has a bad defense, (2) was sitting several of their defensive starters due to injury and (3) wasn't trying to win. I think the Bucs win the game pretty easily if they score 20 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting the defense to harass Brady and get a few turnovers. Mike Evans isn't going to be effective if he plays, their running game runs hot and cold, I'm just not afraid of TB's offense. This game will be won like 17-14 or 21-17 and the winner will be the one who turns it over less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read they were down something like 6 starters between defense and offense. The bottom line is that Smith couldn't move out there. He didn't look good. Thif this team had a healthy Smith (calf), McLaurin (high ankle) and Gibson (turf toe), I'd give them a fighting chance. All three of those guys are playing with significant injuries right now.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he is their leading WR in the playoffs. I'm not saying Smith will win it either. But he has to at least play at the same level he played against Pitt for example. I don't see it from him playing on one leg. It would help Wash if the weather sucks on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJerkDave Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Guys, relax. The Buccs are going to lose on purpose so they don't have to play the Packers. We are going to bury all opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
