Bucs have #1 Passing Offense statistically

Surprisingly, the Buccaneers still have the #1 offense statistically in YPG, including a #1 passing offense at 376 YPG and the team in second place are the Steelers at 318 YPG.  It hasn't always resulted in points which is one of the reasons they're struggling, but I think we should definitely be worried about their potential for big plays in the passing game if the Panthers defense isn't able to pressure the QB.   Also, the Panthers defense was great last week, but we have been very porous in the red zone prior to that.  

So last week we had to play the #1 Defense and our Defense stepped up to be the best defense that day.  This week they're facing a #1 Offense, will Cam Newton and company be able to outshine the Buccaneers and be the best offense this week?  I certainly think they can.

us dismissing them does nothing, they will play the same no matter what we think.  I think the team will be well prepared to face them regardless of them having a game thursday.  This does the makings of a trap game, but they will be ready

Bucs are also number 1 in interceptions thrown at 15.  Its either feast or famine with them and mostly famine

My suggestion: after Cam takes them to the woodshed, 41-10, and in order to avoid criticism for inducing another Bucs' famine -- he hand delivers pizza to them as they board their plane home.

I doubt he could keep that as quiet as he did his similar charity to those in need, here, after last week's game. but it would be a nice gesture.

1. It's a division game. 

2. Historically we struggle against backups.. (although I have no idea what fitzmagic figures into). 

3. Deshaun Jackson has always burned us at least once a game. 

 

Will be a good game to see if we are where we think we are.

Yeah and the Ravens had the #1 defense statistically, how'd that work out?

I think the Benals were one of the best run stopping teams in the league before we played them and then CMC ran all over them 

I think as long as we arent allowing Fitzpatrick to beat us deep we'll be fine. I would make the safteys stay in coverage for most of the game and keep everything in front of them.

Oh they are going to air raid us— Fitz will throw bomb after bomb—

what got me nervous was the number of times Flacco aired it out, and the receiver was open, but it was a bad throw,..

Fitz is on the money with bomb throws, so our FB can’t get burnt like that.

Fitz has to get killed by the pass rush first and foremost,.. there needs to be batted passes and the DBs have to be heads up for interceptions.

we will see, it may be a shoot out for us.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
