They Stole One!
September 15th, 2024
Winning.
If the Bucs were just going to win the games they were expected to win, maybe the Bucs finish 9-8. Would that be enough?
For cushion, the Bucs would have to steal a win they weren’t expected to. Today, the Bucs stole a win. As famed college basketball broadcaster and super Bucs fan Dick Vitale would say, “Unbelievable win! Unbelievable win!”
The Bucs went into the Lions’ den and stole one. All the injuries the Bucs had, with inept blocking of a premier defensive end, with really questionable and shaky playcalling in the fourth quarter, losing one of the best defensive tackles in the game, the Bucs manned up and stole a win over Detroit.
The Bucs are 2-0 with one of the best road wins this franchise has had in a while against a team among the favorites to reach the Super Bowl. The Bucs defense manned up and got awesome play from backups.
Christian Izien, you are the man!
SirVocea Dennis, you ought to be starting.
Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, Bill Belicheat may not be wrong.
What an absolutely wonderful win!
The Bucs were robbers today. And thank goodness for it.

GREAT TEAM DEFENSE WITH BIG NAMES OUT
September 15th, 2024 at 4:12 pm
With all due respect. I totally disagree. The Bucs were the better team today. Period.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:12 pm
If we ever get healthy the NFL better look out you won’t be able to keep dis respecting us.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:13 pm
Zyon McCollum needs a column for just him, he played damn well!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:13 pm
So proud of this team!
Keep your noses to the grind-stone boys!
Go Bucs!!!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:13 pm
SORRY BRITT, SVD IS OUR OTHER STARTER NOW
September 15th, 2024 at 4:13 pm
Defense was gnarly! super well done, they love playing Bowles defense
September 15th, 2024 at 4:13 pm
Bowles Coen connection. Canales was our weak link.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:14 pm
I’ll take it. No style points in the NFL. A win is a win.
If you’re a fan, stop with the negativity and complaining. The team will get healthy and improve. Relax.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:14 pm
Bucs look like the real deal this season.
Not happy with the final offensive possessions. They got too cute. Hopefully they fix that for next week.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:14 pm
YO LICHT ! Nice work bruh
September 15th, 2024 at 4:14 pm
Is Luke coming back next week? 5 sacks is crazy
September 15th, 2024 at 4:14 pm
Whitehead needs to get the gameball- watch the tape!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:15 pm
Honestly if Baker can be consistent and just not have so many down weeks, the Bucs low-end will be 9-8.
Baker played a great game today considering how terrible the RT was, who single handedly was blowing up the offense.
Next week is the Broncos, at home, which should be a win – although the fact it’s Payton as HC makes me a tiny (just tiny) bit nervous.

No games are guaranteed Rod, can’t underestimate anyone
September 15th, 2024 at 4:18 pm
Calm the celebrations…we’re stil 0-0 against the next team….LONG road ahead..
BUT, great job my men….
September 15th, 2024 at 4:19 pm
shut up rod…go munch on something
September 15th, 2024 at 4:19 pm
Skule needs to be cut, why would you ever trust him ever again to play anything? He’s truly a terrible player. Couldn’t block anyone in the preseason either. I don’t care if he knows the offense, he single handedly blew-up the offense. Cut him, get someone off a practice squad, off the street, move Hainsey back to tackle, anything, but Skule needs to be off this roster completely – no practice squad, nothing, he’s not an NFL talent.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:19 pm
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Freaking Go Bucs> My undefeated prediction is still good
September 15th, 2024 at 4:19 pm
This was such a big win in their house. Loving it all. The Bucs fought till the end. Great job!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:21 pm
The upmost respect for the defense. Those guys played lights out in the red zone. Better but some respect on the bucs linebackers and secondary. Bowls saw something in Zion and I think we started to see it too this game.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:21 pm
Unbelievable win! Fought damn hard and clawed out a monster win!!
Way to go Bucs! Licht – you are the absolute man!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:22 pm
Bucs beat a team which many consider a Top 5 team. NOW WHAT TALKING HEADS???
September 15th, 2024 at 4:23 pm
Big win! Credit to the players, and to Bowles. What a great management of the team
September 15th, 2024 at 4:24 pm
They didn’t steal anything they won because the bucs are a good team. Go bucs!! Yeah baby
September 15th, 2024 at 4:25 pm
Donnie Smith is keeping his phone charged and close. It’s like that. Skule should go the way of that Comanche kicker I hope. Great win but there is as gravitous a hole in the OL depth.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:27 pm
Skule was a 6th round pick for a reason and he’s stealing money from the Glazers. Licht will be scared to cut him even though Hainsey played right tackle in college
September 15th, 2024 at 4:31 pm
Gotta give credit to Bowles, no matter who was asked to play defense they stepped up as a unit and delivered over and over again. Love the fight they showed today.

YES! Love it.
Just move Wirfs back to RT for a game or two if needed.
Thats the answer.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:32 pm
Drule shouldn’t even be let on the team flight home. Make him take an oxcart to Canada.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:32 pm
Jason Licht take a bow… The defensive depth was outstanding. This is a home grown contender we have in Tampa. Now go find another RT. Go Bucs!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:34 pm
Great defense today. Especially at the end. Cardiac Bucs Deja Vu all over again.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:34 pm
We do have depth!
September 15th, 2024 at 4:39 pm
They were great today, especially being depleted in the trenches. It’s easy to throw stones at Skule, but Hutchinson made Wirfs look bad the few times I saw him go against him. I know Luke shut him down in the playoffs but there’s a reason Hutchinson is one of the best in the league.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:39 pm
The officials blew a clear scoop and score play dead and called it an incomplete pass. That game should not have been that close. The referees blew a call.
September 15th, 2024 at 4:55 pm
What a team win!
Front office, coaching staff and players exceeded all expectations.
September 15th, 2024 at 5:00 pm
McCollum vs Davis? I’ll take Zyon….he was awesome today…better in this game than Davis ever was…congrats to the entire team for a Great, Great win!!!
Only thing that’s bothering me is Coens stubbornness on protection.
September 15th, 2024 at 5:17 pm
YaYa no sacks, JTS no sacks? That’s not good. I’ll have to rewatch, but making a play to me would be a sack to end the game. I guess JTS made some other plays.
September 15th, 2024 at 5:34 pm
Hated that they weren’t getting much pressure on Goff. He seemed to be taking all the time he wanted.
September 15th, 2024 at 8:03 pm
You aren’t lying, Dennis stands out in a huge way on the field. Izien is our super-sub on defense. If we could get our defensive lineman going, this defense could get scary good. I’m very impressed with Bowles during this game, although his conservative nature erks me sometimes.
September 15th, 2024 at 8:17 pm
Hodad – JTS was getting pressure all over the place, he was good. The issue was the Bucs playing a ton of soft zone, that would tighten up in the red zone but let the Lions move the ball at will outside of the red zone. It worked today, so that’s good. But JTS is literally not a problem at all to anyone who watched the game. Just like last week, he didn’t get a sack, but his tape was dominate.
September 15th, 2024 at 10:18 pm
Donnie Smith is better than Skule. He’s a good dude. Just a loaf. Sign him.
September 16th, 2024 at 8:05 am
Wait till Kancey gets back and you have those PITT panthers on all 3 levels of the D to go with Sirvocea and JW
