Is tonight going to be the "close game" that we win?

I'm not looking past the Bucs, particularly given how our games with them went last year.

 

And I'm not completely sold on Rivera yet.  I *want* to be, but he's still blowing out bad teams and we don't know what will happen when we play good ones.  I like the way he's coaching right now, and I really like the way Shula is managing Cam, but that's tempered by the won/loss record in close games and how we've historically performed against good teams.

 

Well, Tampa isn't a good team.  But they're a divisional opponent, so it's going to be a fight.  And if it is, and it comes down to the wire, will we find a way to come home winners or will they finally hit the win column?

 

And if you don't think this will be close, which game will it be? 

 

I want to believe...

i hope its not close... more so, i hope we don't overlook a desperate team. we were them before and took it to them 2 years ago. i'm all for winning. but we still haven't won against a convincing team. so we shouldn't let the teams we've beat go to our heads. the reality is, the same feeling everyone had 3 weeks ago could indeed be back 3 weeks from now. just a thought.... let get it down FOR REAL tonight! nothing less than a blowout!

I just can't have expectations right now.  I have no idea what to expect, truthfully.  My suspicions are that the defense is gonna be solid again and the offense will wear them down, like we saw with Minnesota and St Louis, but this is a divisional game and this is their turf and for all we know they could rise up and be sick of the disrespect of 0-6 and make us their victim. 

 

But damn, I want a 2011-style rout.

it comes down to this... if we can run the ball heavy for chunks, then passing can kill them. no run= no pass! can't take them lightly, this is divisional football not a sunday schedule fill in game.

Williams averaged 1 yard against that front last year.

I don't expect him to do much of anything behind our OL. 30 yards or so

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
