Losses Coming Soon
November 12th, 2020So it has been said. So let it be typed.
A well-known NFL sophist has looked into his crystal ball, and is of the firm belief that the Bucs will have at least one more loss in November and will finish the month with no better than an 8-4 record.
Who is this gridiorn sorcerer?
Why, it is none other than hot-dog-eating-contest-protesting, mock-draft-scowling, L.L. Bean-wearing, Second Amendment abolitionist, Mike-Florio-arguing, parrot-insensitive, chewing-with-his-mouth-open, soup-gulping, California-train-romancing, anti-football proliferation, outhouse-admiring, airline-napping, steerage-flying, Yogi Berra-worshiping, urinal-picture-taking, video-game-playing, Taylor-Swift-listening, pickpocket-thwarting, Bucs-uniform-frowning, Allie-LaForce-smitten, Big-Ten-Network-hating, pedestrian-bumping, olive oil-lapping, popcorn-munching, coffee-slurping, fried-chicken-eating, oatmeal-loving, circle-jerking, craft-beer-chugging, cricket-watching, scone-loathing, college football-naïve, baseball-box-score-reading, NPR-honk, filthy-hotel-staying, fight-instigating, barista-training, Budweiser-tolerant, baseball scorecard-keeping, pasta-feasting, vomit-dodging scrooge, Kay-Adams-following, social activist and NFL insider Peter King of NBC Sports.
Watching the Bucs the past two weeks King has been revolted. He thinks there is no way the Bucs win the division after escaping New Jersey on Monday Night Football and then getting seal-clubbed by the Saints.
In fact, King believes the Bucs-Stinking Panthers game is a “coin flip.” That’s how down he is on the Bucs as he told the one and only Chris “Mad Dog” Russo of SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio.
“If you are Tampa, if you look at, at Carolina, Rams at home, Chiefs at home, then your bye, I am serious, you might have to sweep them to win your division,” King said. “And they are not sweeping those three games.”
King also said he started to seriously doubt the Bucs as a division winner the way they played in New Jersey. King added that the decision by the zebras to pick up the flag that was initially thrown for pass interference on Bucs safety Antoine Winfield on a two-point conversion to tie the game at the end of regulation, was “abominable.”

Thanks Pete!!! Feel better about our chances already…

We are going to lose next week versus the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night

Good thing Marpet is coming back – Aaron Donald lining up over Joe Haeg would’ve been hilariously bad. Hilarious in a laugh to keep myself from crying kinda way

I gotta admit, what happened last Sunday reminded me of the beginning of one of our famous annual losing streaks.
About that flag. King is the only dipsht I’ve seen that thinks that flag shouldn’t have been picked up.

all of a sudden the schedule looks tough. The panther… so much for a rebuild, they look great and thankfully CM out. The falcons may be tough to beat toend the year if everyone is playing hard for Rah trying to get him the permanent job

Truth

This team isnout coached because the head coach doesnt coach.He drinks scotch and drives a golf cart

It’s the Bucs fault they are being doubted and I’m right there with them. No more automatic wins on this schedule. Every game at this point is a toss up until they prove they know how to do real game planning.

Was it last year that Peter King predicted the Bucs would be 2-14? If so, shouldn’t he lose his license to predict?
November 12th, 2020 at 10:08 am
Ok thanks Pete, thats why you play the games. Just ask Joe Willie Namath lol GO BUCS!!!!!
November 12th, 2020 at 10:12 am
BTW Joe does Pete know he is the reigning king when it comes to monikers on JBF lol lol

She might be right. I don’t see us beating KC if they are on their game. Their Qb actually plays better under defensive pressure. And we had better come up with a great blocking scheme for the beast..Aaron Donald. he is an all out terror. The guy throws his body into 2 or 3 offensive linemen so his teammates can get sacks. That’s one helluva player baby.

The only way we sweep those teams is….wait for it….
RUN THE BALL….RUN THE BALL….RUN THE BALL!

Worry about one game at a time.
November 12th, 2020 at 11:48 am
8-8… 9-7 maybe.
November 12th, 2020 at 11:52 am
I hope Aaron Donald lines up against lazy ass Smith. That would even be more hilarious. I can’t believe Haeg is the scapegoat when lazy ass was every bit as bad.

I’d be ecstatic if we ended up 8-4 at the end of November. That’d mean that we won 2 out of the next 3 games … Panthers, Rams, Chiefs. Panthers are playing better ball IMO, Rams are doing well (5-3) and have the #2 defense, and the Chiefs are doing great (8-1) and have the #2 offense (plus the #6 defense). Nothing about the Bucs last 2 performances indicates that any of these will be ‘cupcake’ games as Joe is wont to say.

Peter king is just an observer. He looks like a guy that thinks a jockstrap goes on your nose. Opinions are like rear ends – everyone’s got one.

Prognosticator Peter King??? Nawwwwwwwww
November 13th, 2020 at 2:27 pm
LOL they are definitely not winning the division.
That went down the drain on Sunday night.
Better start playing great on the road.

Peter King isn’t that smart, if you look at the Giants games they have played most of their games close regardless of who the opponent is, the beat the Redskins yes Redskins who handed the great cowboys their own butts right before that, parity in the league, those same cowboys darn near beat the undefeated settlers, as close as the giants came to the buccaneers.
The Saints lost to the raiders yes the same ones Tampa bay beat. You should know better than to doubt Tom Brady and Bruce Arians they will come together and win the Super Bowl! There, you are welcome Peter!
