Why are we so scared of TB's Defense?

[Mother Grabber]

the StL defense blows, btw.  They are 30th in rush and rush yds allowed, and in the 20s for everything else.  Not sure why anyone cares about them.  Even when you look at sacks and +/-, they are middle of the road.  Not sure we can hold our heads up that we beat up on a top defense.  Probably have the most 1st round draft picks in the front 7, but that's about it.

 

Tampa, however, is top 10 in just about everything.

Never said Rams had a good defense, just a good front 4

I know the Bucs have the 5th best Rush defense but, it would be more like 9th or 10th if the Failcons didn't nearly go negative in rushing yards last week. We are the 7th best rushing offense for good reason.

[TheRed]

I think it's less about their defense and more about our inconsistency, especially on offense.

 

We have the talent on both sides of the ball to hang with anyone in the league, we've got to maintain that level of play every week.

 

It's tough playing a team with little or nothing to play for. When you add in the division rivalry and a coach like Schiano, they'll be coming at us. It's up to us to come together as a team fired up and ready to punch them in the mouth relentlessly until the final whistle is blown.

 

It won't get any easier after this week. If we're going to win in the second half of our schedule, Rivera has to keep coaching with balls.

I want to see a game winning drive from cam. Or to see him put away a game where we face a little adversity in the 4th.

 

Not impressed yet.

Main reason to be nervous is because Tampa will be playing loose.  They have nothing to lose by losing, nothing to gain by winning besides pride.  Teams like that tend to pull out wins they aren't supposed to.

Oh shut the fug up already

They aren't using their weapons right in TB with Revis and co.

But, it's a divisional game. And we are a team that either shows up or doesn't. So it's not pessimism, it's more of respecting that anything can happen in the NFL.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

We lost to the Bucs twice last year, since then they have lost Freeman, Martin and about half the defense.

 

They also have Revis & Goldson now...

Fug Tampon Bay, we are going to rip that candy corn headed fugging rookie QB a new one

[CharlottePanther]

The D let Nick Foles complete 78% of passes with three TD passes and 140 passer rating and the week after that Matt Ryan completed 74% of his passes minus Roddy White and Julio Jones and Ryan had a 131 passer rating. Gerald Mccoy only has 2 sacks on the season. But say for a minute their D is really that good, they still have the 31st ranked offense in points and yards and that was before Doug Martin got hurt.

We are actually a better away team and not only that but their homefield crowd makes our homefield crowd look like Lambeau Field in a playoff enviroment. Thats how terrible it is, this game should be a snoozefest come half time with us up by two TDs atleast, they have quit on their coach. Put this in perspective. In my opinion, the Bucs of 2011 are much better than the Bucs of today, and the Panthers of 2011 much worse than the Panthers of today and we pummeled the Bucs in Tampa that year like 42-16, the year they quit on Raheem Morris. They are in the same exact coaching situation now as they were then.

Don't run from the truth! Optimism is all great and everything, but the only game winning drive I remember is his rookie year in an ugly low scoring game vs the Jaguars lol.

 

If he can't get it done in the 2nd half and win close games who cares if he has stats that compare to elite qbs.
