Been a Bucs fan since the 70s and this all feels bass-ackwards watching them succeed with offense. I've been lucky enough to see some of the greatest defensive units (and HOF players) of all time, but I'm really enjoying what might be the most entertaining offense they've ever put on the field.
Saying the Chargers offense is better than the Bucs... LMFAO... bruh Tampa has one of the most potent offenses in the entire NFL. Baker is statistically one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Tied for most touchdowns, and top 5 to 10 in every category. To answer your question though, we're currently the third seed in the NFC.
For reference, Bucs defense was bad this year due to the injuries to key personnel through the first half of the season, if you look at the Bucs defense so far in the second half of the season it is one of the best defenses in the league. For reference, since their bye week in week 10 at essentially the half way mark (4 games including the Chargers) the Bucs have allowed only 60 points total, averaging 15 allowed per game; which is better than the Eagles who gave up an average of 17.
Nah, I'm a HUGE Bucs fan. And I've watched most of their games. And that defense is absolutely atrocious. They have their moments, but even when our high powered offense scores and takes comfortable leads, I still don't feel comfortable because I know the the defense will let the opponent right back in it. If we lose the overtime coin flip, I am tempted to just turn off the TV because it's over. Reference both Falcons games and the Chiefs game (among others).
Bucs defeated commanders, lions, eagles and now chargers. Even when Evans and Godwin were out in injury, they stayed within 1 score loss. They are also the only team with 8 400+ years games and 2 500+ yard games. Defense have been bitten by the injury bug all year.
@@TheRealOneProductions As much as I'd like it, I suggest you don't put money on it since it is a possibility but no guarantee. "'He will be undergoing surgery very soon and probably be out for the year,' Bowles said in October. 'There’s a chance, if we can make a late playoff run, he could be back.'” Taken from an AP article.
Yes Bucs will make the playoffs. Because they're leading their division by 1 game and their last 3 opponents are Cowboys, Panthers, Saints. If they lose one game, Falcons can take their place by winning all their games. But Falcons have to get past the Commanders (with Penix at QB), so good luck with that.
I think we will be just fine and make playoffs. We have an easier schedule and the falcons still have to play the commanders. We should be healthy for playoffs to so it just depends on our coaching scheme and if our secondary wants to show up (Bucs fan)
1. you're welcome. 2. i'll tell you what i've been saying about the Bucs all year. IF they play to their abilities, and play hard all game, they are nearly impossible to beat. They suffered in the early season with key injuries to the defense, and offense with Chris Godwin being out in week 7. The difference is the defensive backups are playing much better since the bye. The Bucs have another tough game Sunday night against Dallas. --it's tough not so much because of Dallas, but because it's primetime. 3. Atlanta is 1 game behind the Bucs and holds the tie-breaker. so for the rest of the season, if the Falcons win, the Bucs need to win too to stay division leader. And Atlanta also has an easy 3 weeks remaining. 4. Do I think the Bucs can do it? yes, absolutely i do. The talent is there. The skills, the heart, the Bucs have what it takes to make the playoffs. For simplicity's sake they just need to win out, and not worry about what Atlanta does. They do that, and I think they make a deep run into the playoffs. There is too much maths involved for me to figure out, but i think there are scenarios where they can still make the playoffs even if they don't win the division. asides; i'd like to see Vea get more sacks. i'd like to see Evans reach 1,000 yards for his 11th straight year, but not at the cost of winning.
Yes, because since that BYE week, you've only gone up against the Panthers, Raiders and Giants leading up to this game 💀 I don't like to go back and forth about stats because I feel it's reductive, but just from a factual standpoint, the Buccs are 27th in yards allowed PG, 26th in Total yards allowed, 19th in PPG and points allowed for the overall season. They do not currently have a good defense.
The defense isn't bad at all just to many injuries that's the problem gotta call it like it is cant just say there bad just because their bad it's the injuries
@@nathanfox3090 It doesn't matter who's healthy the defense has not been playing good minus the DT's. AW returned healthy and looked like ass. Dean returned healthy and looked like ass(minus one pick thrown right at him). I don't even need to mention any other secondary. Kenny Brit looks worse than White did, etc etc. I'm not going to sugarcoat how bad they been just because I'm a fan. They have been bottom in the league

Nah our defense is still shit. Chargers had no explosive power until that Broncos game yesterday and we played 3 nobodies team
i agree with with everyone who responded to this comment.,..our defense absolutely stinks

Godwin is out for season but evans and macmillan are back so our offense can get shit done again, still miss godwin though
He should be back for playoffs

@@nerofl89 I agree only possible way of him coming back this season is if we somehow make it to conference or SB

Loving how so many keep sleeping on Tampa. Keep it up!

Did you just say the chargers have a better offense?🤣🤣
Lions had same type of schedule, but you can't tell their fans that.
Since our bye week in week 11 The Bucs have the number one scoring defense at 15.0 points a game…

Naw we are just bad this year. Even when healthy the defense has looked suspicious
@@Martyrules the defense hasn't been fully healthy for a single game this season though. Injuries started before the season even began.
