Why Tampa scares me

The Rams defense is not horrible and Tampa put up a 50 burger on them. I don't think they are going to do this to us, but the Bucs do have a pretty good offense(albeit a bit inconsistent). I'm hoping our defense can really shut them down, but if they start putting up some points.. I don't think Bridgewater can win a shootout. The bucs defense looks pretty porous, and if Brees was in the lineup I have no doubt that we'd out score them in a shootout. I'm just not that comfortable in a game like that with Teddy. If the winning team has 40 points, I think it is more likely to be them than us.

Bruce Arians * Todd Bowles.

Bucs have good coaching now on both sides of the ball.

I hope Peyton puts in a couple of deep throws down the field . If not We have to slow this game down to a crawl

Yea. This is a game where TB is going to have to score. We’ve done great but I just don’t see this offense winning a shootout. We are going to have to score 21 minimum to win this one

I hope Payton has a heavy dose of Taysom figured into this game, especially on 3rd down. Based on how Birdwater moved the ball against Dallas, that ain't gonna win this game. And I know some of you will say "Teddy moved the ball & got us in scoring position.. blah blah". Well guess what, Tampa watched the Dallas film & they will shut Teddy's 1-dimensional short game down. Payton better bring another plan to this game or else it's gonna be ugly.

Their defense is going to be what makes this game tough. Winston is such a Jekyll and Hyde QB, this could be a real stinker game for him.
