    Some drunk people voting tonight.

  2. Zoocomics Says:

    We’re not healthy enough and/or even if we were healthy, we’re not talented enough to slow down both Henry and Jackson. This is the type of team, if Lamar is accurate, he will eat us alive because we’re going to sell-out for the run and forcing him to pass. He’s not great, but he’s better than Hurts regarding accuracy.

    Something to note, the last time we played Baltimore, which was 2022 we did well in the first half, I think their TE Mark Andrews was their most reliable weapon and he got injured in the first half of that game if I recall. Yet, they still beat us, and without great WRs, they still managed 231 yards on the ground, 7.1 avg.

    There is a template on how to beat Lamar Jackson, as with most teams, I think you need a solid 4-man rush to constantly apply pressure without losing contain. Probably helps to have a ILB that can keep pace with him. Lamar has not always lost to outstanding defenses. It’s simply that opposing teams figure out a way to slow him down just enough and score more points. Having Henry is a huge. No matter what happens, we simply need to take care of Atlanta next week at Home.

    If Vea can’t go, it’s going to be tough to get a win tonight.

  4. RVATom Says:

    If Lamar can mix a decent short pass game to the middle of the field like Cousins did AND he gets some 12/15 yd runs then Britt is going to have a tough night. Having Winfield back last weekend shored up the center. But with Funderbunk needing help, Britt needing help, Vea possibly not playing (or not being himself) and Jackson being so effective on the run I worry the Defense will have trouble.

    That being said…Bowles sometimes really finds a way to confound the quick twitch qbs….

    And Offense runs through double coverage and shifted coverage on Mike. If he is not a threat or only plays once a series they’ll make Godwin THE priority. If they sit in Godwin either our young guys will have to find sure hands real quick or the ground and screen game is going to have to reliably get chunks.

    Tough game. Gonna be fun to watch. Bowles is going to have to have a stellar defensive plan and whoever helps him manage the game, timeouts/clock/situationals is going to have to be on their toes.

    Lots of team positive fans. Love to see it! I for one voted not sure for number of reasons mainly because not sure of what team will show up tonight. Hopefully not the one from our two losses. Heavens no!!

    Love to see the team positivity in the poll. I for one voted not sure for a number of reasons but mainly because I’m not sure what team will show up tonight. Hopefully not the one from our two losses. Heavens no! Go Bucs!

  7. A Bucs Fan Says:

    If Vita and Mike were healthy they’d have a good shot. Both of them banged up makes it hard to be sure it’ll be a close game. Kancey will need to have the game of his life and the OLB group will have to produce more than they have all season.

  8. Bucnjim Says:

    Stop the run-Stop the run-Stop the run. Of course that is easier said than done but if the Bucs can force Jackson to throw and play from behind we match up well with the Ravens.

  9. LakelandBuc Says:

    They won’t be at the Ravens with their so-called Buck and Tucker duo. The Ravens will squash them like a nat. They need Rachaad White and the passing game. ME and CG is primary their passing attack. Take away them, they have nothing.

    How will the Bucs defense contain Lamar and Henry?

    The Ravens will have to beat themselves like the Lions did

    Other than that, the Ravens should win going away

  10. LakelandBuc Says:

    **beat the Ravens

  11. Bucnjim Says:

    Call me crazy, but I think Shepard is going to be key for the Bucs offense to move the chains. Ravens will pressure Mayfield into shorter or intermediate routes. Godwin will have a good game, but with McMillen and Trey Palmer coming back from injuries I don’t see the OC trusting them enough just yet in a game like this. Shepard and dump-offs to Bucky Irving may work better than trying to force the ball to Evans on deeper routes.

  12. First Name Greatest Says:

    With Todd Blows in charge this team has ZERO chance of beating well coached and talented teams. Games against teams like the Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers are just automatic L’s with this clown in charge.

    Ravens 31
    Bucs 20

  13. jugheadfla Says:

    Yup, just like the comment above this one and just like every week with our team, Bowels will more than likely get outcoached especially on the defensive side. The only hope we have is if we can put up 40+ points to keep up with the beat down that our D will incur.

  14. orlbucfan Says:

    Voted Win out of long-time fan loyalty with plenty of trepidation. Carrion are healthier than Bucs are right now. Big difference is Bucs now have a developing young talented Offense and OC. We’ll see…………

  15. jugheadfla Says:

    Also this just feels like a game where Bowels will this team so emotionless that they come out flat and by the time they wake up it will be 21-0 after the first quarter

  16. Bucsalltheway Says:

    47% of the Joe’s don’t know football lol

  17. QB6 Says:

    I feel really good about tonights game…and our team this year.

    I feel like we can win against any team

    Baltimore is a not better team than us and our offense is something special…really special.

    Our defense is what concerns me but as our rookies gain more expereince, and they work with the leaders of our defense more, it will only get better.

    I LOVE that our team drafts well and and these players are contributing in a impactful way this year, unlike say Atlanta.

    GO BUCS!

  18. JA Says:

    If you vote with your heart, then yes, the Bucs can beat the Ravens.
    If you consider the Ravens to be better coached football team with better players at most positions, then you should be voting no.
    Wonder what the voting percentage would be if each YES voter was forced to put $100 on the money line to back up their choice …

  19. D-Rok Says:

    I am wondering aloud if the key to the game, a win, is how well WE rush this game? Can Sonic and Knuckles (Buck N Tuck) make a dent in the Ravens rush D? If they can, we have a good chance of a victory.

    The reason I say this is because if we run decent or well, it means we are controlling the line of scrimmage, and that often dictates a winner.

    We shall see – and Go Bucs ! ! !

  20. Tye Says:

    little to NO chance as long as Bowels remains HC!

  21. Simeon4HOF Says:

    We win a close one. Wonder who Ira and Joes pick
