Any thoughts/predictions for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay?

In theory, we should destroy them simply because we have the bye week and Tampa Bay has been imploding all year. But this almost seems like a trap game. I think we'll win, but it will be a lot closer than it should be.

For a team with our record and struggles, there is no such thing as a trap game.

According to Vegas, it "should" be within 10 points, which hardly ever feels like a big win. I could see us unleashing and coming away with a blowout victory, but a close win, even a last-second win, would not surprise me in the least. A loss by a touchdown or more would surprise me.

It's all about our intensity. If we are the least bit flat, Tampa will smell it and pounce. They most assuredly see this game as an opportunity to get off the schnide. I Hognosticated us (of course) but have a terrible feeling. There is not an outcome that would surprise me.

I'll say we get burned twice on deep balls and leave it at that.

BTW - Tickets can be had for $7.00.

Same with the upcoming Rams game. I'm already buying tickets for that one.

I think the most important thing is to get a TD on our first series, the tone of them game will be set in the first 8minutes where our defense stops them with 3 and out, our offense marches down and scores with authority. Anything other than that and it'll be a tossup.
DarthMonk prediction got my interst and its what I was thinking as well.

How about this: we match our sack number from the Jacksonville game. What was it, 10? Yeah, we can do that again against Tampa. Call it a bold prediction if you will.

As much of importance a good start is needed it has become clear from the Vikings game that more than 1 or 2 really good drives to start the game is important. If that is the case, I'm confident it will be an easier W.

Side note the winless bucs did surprise people beating the Steelers

I really did want to be wrong.

At least tickets might even go down more for the next home game.

People will have trouble giving them away at this rate.
