A few random thoughts on the 2019 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[Jeremy Igo]

I have a few thoughts on the 2019 Bucs after watching their opener.

- Same old Winston. He can make a spectacular play and follow it up with a Clausenesque throw. He will never be consistent. He ended with a 45 QBR. 

- Winston could have easily had 5 picks this game.

- Bucs RB Jones looks good. Over 5 yards a carry against the Niners.

- Bucs D looks decent,  especially against the run. Screens ate them up at times. CMC will get another big day.

- Wheels came off for the Bucs D in the third quarter. Must have been a common thing on Sunday .

- Niners had a lot of ticky tack flags thrown. Could have been a blowout.

- Winston panics still. Pressure brings easy picks.

- Mike Evans was mostly invisible.

Bottom line - If Winston had even a half decent game this would have been a Bucs win. However, he mostly look awful.

in other words same old bucs, biggest key to me is stop the run game and force Jameis to play consistently great to beat us.

Jameis is guaranteed at least three wtf throws per game as well, hopefully those all end up in our hands

So, what you're saying is this is a game we must not only win, but dominate.  I'm down with that.

That being said, Thursday night will probably be 16-13 with a last second FG at the end to win it.

I just don't know anymore at this point.  Anything can happen....you know...."Missed Opportunities"

Bucs OL is trash.  Winston hasnt been good, but theyve done a poor job protecting him since being there.   Our front 7 SHOULD camp out in the backfield this week

It's a great game to try and get our poop together. I am looking forward to seeing some improvements over Sunday purely from getting more game time logged.

Wow on how bad Smith looked and on that contract.

I hate Thursday night games.

Got a feeling this games is going to be all about who  the bed the least.

Hopefully Rivera gets his head out of his ass and unleashes Burns on Winston.

Every time we play the Bucs they give us fits but if we don't come ready to play they will eat us alive and we will lose.

THIS IS A MUST WIN GAME FOR THE PANTHERS!!!!

It's going to be an ugly game.  Bucs have some big guys on offense.  We need to control time of possession to win and keep our guys healthy.

Just don’t know after watching what we saw Sunday. Their rb looks legit, they did a decent job of stopping the run. 

Knowing Arian’s penchant for going aerial and leaving the qb on an island our rushers should feast.. that being said Ron has a hard time taking advantage of other team’s weaknesses.

Unlike week one this is a division game... if you’re expecting a blowout you will probably be disappointed.

oh yeh... this is a must win game. No other way to look at it
