Bucs lost two starting OL in loss vs Saints

Buccaneers RT Demar Dotson is expected to miss Week 6 with calf and hamstring injuries.

It's unlikely he'll make the trip to London for Sunday's battle with Carolina. Jameis Winston took a season-high six sacks in Tampa Bay's Week 5 loss to New Orleans. With Dotson and RG Alex Cappa (broken arm) gone from the equation, Winston could be under siege again in Week 6.

Buccaneers RG Alex Cappa suffered a broken left arm in Sunday's Week 5 loss to New Orleans.

Remarkably, he didn't miss a snap, though the Buccaneers are now bracing for him to miss several weeks. With RT Demar Dotson (calf, hamstring) also a long shot for Sunday's game in London, Tampa Bay's O line—particularly the right side—will be shorthanded against the Panthers.

 

Pretty huge development. Our pass rush should be able to absolutely feast this game.

Hate to see guys get injured but at least both injuries sound like something that won't hamper the players for too long, just convenient timing for us. I'll take that!

Yeah unlike some of the players from last night’s game with season ending injuries, it does sound like these 2 will be back soon, possibly after the bye. With the number of injuries we have right now I will not complain at all about the Bucs being short handed a bit as well for this game...

No reason whatsoever we lose this one.

The Bucs schedule leading up to this game- @ LA, coast to coast travel, then all the way to NO for the Saints game yesterday then now it’s overseas to play us. THAT stretch of away games is absolutely brutal for them.

Also, they will NOT sweep us, just not going to happen period. Should be a decisive win for us honestly by a pretty big margin

You must be new to Carolina Panthers football.

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
