What Bucs Fans Are Saying

This week I ventured over to a few Bucs media sites and message boards and afterwards needed an emergency session with my therapist. Good gravy is it dismal in Tampa Bay these days. 

Here are a few of my favorite tidbits....

 

Bucs will have their hands full with Greg Olsen

The Tampa Bay defense will face its first marquee tight end challenge of the season Sunday when Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers comes to Raymond James Stadium.

Bucs coaches and defenders are well aware of the headaches Olsen can cause, especially after last year’s second-ranked tight end in receiving yardage attacked the middle of the field for 18 combined receptions for 193 yards and a touchdown during a pair of Panthers wins.

“He does present quite a few challenges,” head coach Lovie Smith said Wednesday. “He’s got excellent speed, great hands and he’s been playing at a high level in this league for a long time.”

 

Of course, some Bucs fans are predicting a victory...

D looks good for a change. Bucs 27 Kitties 17

A win is possible, but with a young QB and struggling FG kicker it's hard to be very optimistic about winning against that defense. I just want an all around good effort and have a chance to win it. That is the sign that you are almost there. 2-0 in the division would give this team a huge boost in confidence.

 

Some are discussing the Panthers adding Jared Allen 

Had this been Jared Allen from 5 years ago....I would have gave a red rat's ass

Jared Allen of today....not so much

The only thing about this move that makes me nervous is just now Not Nervous this move makes me feel. The guy looked old and slow in Chicago. He'll probably look old and slow in Carolina, too. Except this Sunday. I bet he looks young and rejuvenated on Sunday. And THEN he'll look old and slow again. 

 

But overall, things are fairly depressing in Bucs country

. 37-13 Cats..


I see us getting punched in the mouth and roughed up boys..

 Panthers 38
Bucs 16

 Gonna be ugly as hell. We'll score on offense some, but it's becoming clear that our D is a complete joke. 30-17 panties.

 3-2? We haven't beat Carolina since 2012. Jacksonville we haven't beat since 1995(Their first year). What makes you think we're suddenly going to turn things around?

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?

      Bruce can't be that. Darnold can make a ton of throws that Bruce flat out can't. Darnold's physical talent doesn't handcuff your play calling like Bryce's does. You just have to protect Darnold from himself and not ask too much of him in terms of putting mental pressure on him. That's when he cracks and turns into a turnover machine. Bryce limits the hell out of your play calling. Deep outs? Pretty much eliminated from the playbook. Sideline throws to the wide side of the field when you're on the hash marks? Woah boy. That's begging for a pick six. Throws more than about 10-15 yards beyond the LOS? We're basically having to scheme up those shots to come on 3rd or 4th and short when the D is expecting a run or a quick hitter. 3rd and long is basically a "gain a few yards to hopefully flip this field position eith this upcoming punt" play call versus trying to actually move the sticks. The opposing defense is essentially treating the entire field like its the red zone because Bryce can't really threaten them vertically outside of scheming up deep shots on traditional power running downs... something they'll likely be on the lookout for next year after studying up on us doing that with success down the stretch last year.
