“Happy To Take Tampa Bay, 20-14”

September 12th, 2014

McCownlaughThe Buccaneers are about to bounce back in a big way, become “relevant” again (a favorite word of Lovie Smith).

That’s the take from Pat Kirwan, the former Bucs scout, Jets personnel chief and linebackers coach under Monte Kiffin. Kirwan joined prickly Pete Prisco for their weekly in depth look at the Bucs game.

Kirwan says the significant trouble for the Rams is the loss of defensive end Chris Long. Now the Bucs can comfortably slide protection over to the left side all day long to stifle Robert Quinn.

Both also dig deeper and call the game. Enjoy.

    That score seems awfully high for these 2 teams.

    We’re also down a starting DE too, and his counterpart was stifled by the infamous Byron Bell. Color me skeptical.

  3. Louis Friend Says:

    Shaun Hill will play, most likely. Without pressure he is more than capable of carving up the Bucs. I’m not so sure we deserve to be favored to win this game if we can’t get to the QB. On offense, we haven’t seen more than 10 minutes of solid Bucs O play, and who knows how that’s going to go?

    Not knocking the Bucs, just stating a fact. No pressure + turnover plagued offense = loss. To any team in the NFL.

    35-3 bucs win in dominating fashion

    I hope we can somehow get this dark cloud from over our franchise.

    Look at a team like Indy – lose int he opener but fought hard, void of real talent, but have a BEAST at QB. The feeling of that team is it always has a chance and no matter the injuries they will compete.

    L&L better stop screwing off and find a franchise QB in the draft ASAP if they want to become relevant again.

    Run the #uc& outta of Martin. Blitz the $uc* out of ???3rd string QB. Start Mike Cannon and the Bucs Blowout the Sams.

  8. Aceofaerospace Says:

    As I said last week, I’m never ever comfortable when the bucs play against a backup QB. More often than not, he’ll play like a pro bowler and the Bucs will play like chumps. Seen it way to many times.

  9. Buccfan37 Says:

    I’ll call it Bucs 17-13.

  10. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Whichever team loses this game will be drafting in the Top 5 in 2015.

  11. Pelbuc Says:

    17-3 rams win. McCown gets benched after his 2nd int which is a pick 6. A few more potatoe chips, I mean Bucs get injured. Things will get really ugly. Too many draft and FA blunders over the years. I hope I’m wrong but the Bucs have taught me to be a pessimist when it comes to football. Zuttah looked really good at center last night for Ravens and our offense is light years from being competent. I hope that the Bucs at least come out with lots of heart and energy and not like the zombies we saw last week.

    Architect says that L & L need to stop screwing off and draft a franchise QB. Bortles was picked before our turn this year, so who is the franchise QB that we could have drafted? You do realize that the draft only comes around once a year, right? Last time I looked, Tom Brady was not in the draft this year. That is a ridiculous statement you just posted sir.
