On this Labor day and the premier of "Houdini"on History channel tonight. let's see what kind of magicians and soothsayers we have here in the Huddle. Most on here know this team very well...it's strengths and its weakness on both sides of the ball. Playing a retooled Bucs away won't be easy. What will the final score be...and give a comment on how YOU think the offense and defense will do. This team has not won an opening season game in many moons.....can they do it in 2014?

We will win because we have a better coach and better players at every position except Safety and one of the Guards (probably, not going to anoint Turner or Amini over old man Mankins yet).  I think the offense will start off slow, one TD in the first half due to a short field and we'll all have our panties in a twist and then they'll open it up and play well in the second half.  The defense will dominate from the kickoff allowing one field goal in the first half and a garbage time TD.  Final score: 24-10.

 

edit to add score.

I see a loss due to an offense that isn't clicking right away, injuries, dwill taking his usual 3-4 games to get started, stew getting injured, and history. I see the defense still doing well and not allowing more than 21 points of not less so I don't think it will be a blowout. At the end of the day I feel special teams and a bad online is going to be the blame for the loss.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
