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?

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
