Your NFC South Champion Buccaneers!! Buccaneers 32, Panthers 6
December 26th, 2021
What a glorious tonic today has been after last Sunday’s debacle.
Our beloved Bucs have won their first division title since 2007!
It took 14 years for the Bucs to take back control of the NFC South and Joe is savoring every second of it after the Bucs locked up the crown with a commanding crushing of the Panthers today in Carolina.
The Tampa Bay run game needed to revive, and it did in a huge way. After three quarters, the Bucs had 135 yards on the ground on 23 carries. Ronald Jones found the end zone and Ke’Shawn Vaughn exploded for a gorgeous 55-yard touchdown.
The Bucs defense remains sizzling hot and has not allowed a touchdown since in eight quarters plus an overtime.
Be grateful, Bucs fans. Be grateful, you’re not a Panthers, Saints or Falcons fan. Not only do those teams stink, they’re 2022 futures look grim.
Welcome back, Antonio Brown!
Keep up the dominance, Jordan Whitehead!
And take a bow, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. You just called a strong game with a depleted cast against a quality Panthers’ defense. Nice bounce-back after last Sunday’s mess against New Orleans.
Tom Brady and the offensive line are healthy, and Joe is very confident The Goat will guide the Bucs to two more wins — a 13-4 record — while at least a couple of key Bucs pieces get healthy.
Get your playoff tickets! And say your prayers that Shaq Barrett’s knee injury isn’t serious.
Joe's calling it early.
Congrats, Bucs, on winning your first NFC South title since 2007!!!— JoeBucsFan (@JoeBucsFan) December 26, 2021

That’s nice. Next game up.

Nice game to give everyone a little confidence and time to get healthy (fingers crossed for Shaq).
December 26th, 2021 at 3:53 pm
That’s all I care about. CONGRATS MIGHTY BUCS DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 26th, 2021 at 3:54 pm
Damn it, use OJ Howard!
December 26th, 2021 at 3:55 pm
32-6 final score. How many sacks???? JTS was helping out, too.
December 26th, 2021 at 3:56 pm
AB,AB,AB. What a player. Big help on today’s title
December 26th, 2021 at 3:56 pm
Imagine how stupid we would have been to cut AB. Props to Bruce for not being that stupid. Props to the coaching staff to having a solid plan, sticking to that plan and executing that plan. It’s a Happy New Year coming. It already feels like a bonus to have a home game at all in the playoffs. We are battle tested. I’m pumped to finally win the division too.

The lesson from today is simple — we don’t match up well with the saints.
The only other team that beat us up like the saints this year was the Rams.
So, the offseason has to be about getting personnel and schemes to better attack the saints. They’re the main impediment right now.
It doesn’t matter who their quarterback is. It’s about how their defense matches up with the Bucs’ offense. In fact, the worse their quarterback is the harder it can be for us. Because game managers like Hill aren’t likely to make as many mistakes as Drew and Jameis will.
Saints likely cost us the #1 seed and Brady and MVP. They are the area to focus on moving forward, no matter what happens in the postseason.

Game ball to whitehead! Wow. He is making 10 mil plus next year
December 26th, 2021 at 4:03 pm
Announcers said out D has allowed 31 yards in the 2nd half. At the 2 minute warning. Great D.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:06 pm
Still 4th seed.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:07 pm
It’s not over. Carolina won’t let this game end. Lol.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:08 pm
@”…Great D….”
———
yeah, our D is very good against teams WITHOUT QBs.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:09 pm
Now the refs won’t let it end. Omg. Lol.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:10 pm
not yet…. not without TD
December 26th, 2021 at 4:11 pm
Now the clock won’t let it end. Lol.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:12 pm
No TDs allowed by our defense in the last 2 games. We can win a SuperBowl with this defense.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:12 pm
NFC Champs baby!!!!!!
December 26th, 2021 at 4:12 pm
*edit, NFC South Champs lol
December 26th, 2021 at 4:18 pm
NFC South Division Champs!!!!!! How sweet it is! I called the final score: 32-6. The Defense is getting healed in the secondary. So, now I can be a Bucs educated fan with pride.
December 26th, 2021 at 4:25 pm
YES – they showed that killer instinct to win Division Title. Way to go!
GO BUCS!!

Oralbuc, the Defense did play fantastic and congrats to them, the offense scored 32 points with back up Rb’s and WR but no credit their. You must be experiencing emotional trauma, did your Pop Warner coached tell you that you couldn’t play QB because you sucked at it? Check with Pete, he may have some meds that can cure you.

Wish we’d just throw some short oases on 1st more and run on 2nd. Get a little too predictable on 1st and get into run mode, but hard to be mad about this game. Defense has been lights out. Whitehead in particular had a fantastic game. It sucks about Barrett and Tryon looked pretty ordinary today
December 26th, 2021 at 5:29 pm
Hell yes!
December 26th, 2021 at 5:35 pm
You guys crying about running on first need to stop. All teams do it. It takes the guys up front to block. If they blocked better our 1st down running would be more effective. We actually had some good 1st down runs.
December 26th, 2021 at 6:00 pm
Scam Newton should get the game ball! He was our best weapon.

no credit there. Am I correct? And are you addressing me? It’s orlbucfan. You sound like you’re drunk and semi-literate. Spare me.

No I got it right, OralBfan

You talking about toothpaste? How long have you’ve been a Bucs fan>

I became a Bucs fan when they signed a QB that could make the winners versus losers. By your posts it appears you could use some help as well.
