They don't use actual NFC rankings Bucs at 2 Rams at 4 And then treat PFF like its from god. The Rams played the Bucs in LA when Tampa's secondary was gutted. DeSean Jackson killed them. How's that going to repeat? They played last year and the Rams beat the 7-5 pre-bye version of the Bucs by 3. What does all this mean for Sunday? Absolutely nothing! Are Bucs secondary healthy again now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flounch Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It's not like Stafford was schredding the worst defensive passing team each time. He was supposed to destroy the Titans and Ravens secondary and that wasn't the case. Worst games of the season. So i don't buy the narrative he will punish the Buccs secondary and Whitworth is not there, he will get pressure and made some mistake.

Yea secondary is healthy which I assume should help as they gave up two or three 40+ yard receptions. The offense is the main problem with the Bucs right now because they had a lot more weapons. Will they be able to keep up with the Rams if the offense plays like last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I think the TB secondary is a lot better than people think. I also think their run defense is worse than people think. The Rams defense should give the Bucs problems with their offensive injuries unless they have coverage busts in their secondary with those new safeties in there. I don't know I think this is a low scoring game. Whoever cracks 24 points wins, I think. Stafford will get a potentially game winning drive and throws a pick which ends the game. Tampa wins 24-20.

FrantikRam Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 20 hours ago, BigTrav said: Are Bucs secondary healthy again now? Yep but they are a really tough team to evaluate because of the "Quarterbacks" they played. Allen, Stafford, Dak Patriots, Jets, Dolphins, Bears, FT, Giants, Eagles, Colts Saints, Falcons, Panthers So they played three good QBs, and then 14 games against teams with......not good passing attacks. Could put Ryan into the good tier, maybe? Not sure. That'd be 5 out of 17. Not taking anything away from them....just hard to evaluate how good they truly are. It's worth noting that Dak, Allen, Stafford and Ryan once all had great games against them. And Stafford can win or lose against any defense.

bucsfan333 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 This should be our first game this season with our entire starting defense playing together. Would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DscountDblchk12 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 What is the over/under on Pass Interference calls tomorrow where Brady just chucks it deep on 3rd down and gets 30-40 yards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandrew87 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 This should be a close game. I like Stafford. It'll come down to which Stafford shows up though. When he's on he's one of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notthatbluestuff Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Sigh. I really hope the Rams win - I can't stomach another Brady Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 FYI on historical significance of this week's games. (since expansion to 16 games in 1978) The last time the divisional round had 3 road winners was 2008 (it was also the only time) The last time the divisional round had 4 road winners was never. It has no bearing on either of these individual games today but its would be strange if they went 4-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
