Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Houston Texans Official Game Day Thread: Daylight Savings Edition

[Bootz]

Happy Game Day Bucs fans! Hope you took advantage of the extra hour unless you're in Arizona. This afternoon the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in Houston to take on the surprising 3-4 Texans..

The Bucs look to end a 3 game losing streak against a Texans team many felt would he in contention for the worst in football. Behind rookie QB and HC CJ Stroud & Demeco Ryans the Texans have done better than expected. The Bucs started out 3-1 and looked also to be better than expected but 3 straight losses and a struggling offense have us saying "they are who we thought they were".

The Bucs have a few injuries today.



Let's hope for a great game, no more injuries and an end to this losing streak!

Go Bucs!

[Doctor]

Texans are doing pretty darn good and are they are similarly a team getting into its rhythm as a unit. Should be a good game. I want to see cleaned up penalties and us hitting those big punches when they are there. And a win of course.

This year I'm waiting three weeks to turn my clock back.

I ceded from the union and no longer observe daylight savings time.

[13F11B]

Should be interesting to see how Bowles will fuck this game up.

[Rocker]

Go Bucs.

Feed Mike.

[Bootz]

3 game losing streak and haven't led at any second during the streak.

[Bootz]

Pressure his ass!

[Doooshnzl]

Huge game for #6. Anything less than a win and the shine from the first several games will be all but gone.

This team desperately needs some players to show out, none more important than Mayfield. White, both of them, JTS, hell any pass rusher, maybe someone in the secondary.

[Bootz]

Bucs ball!

[Doctor]

Lets go. Buc ball. Set the tempo.

[Bootz]

Getting the TEs involved.

[13F11B]

Amazing waste of a turnover.

[Bootz]

Well that's disappointing to turn the fumble into 3.....

[13F11B]

Lets go. Buc ball. Set the tempo.

Suggestion. Let's stop playing Buc Ball. It has been awful this season.

[13F11B]

Well that's disappointing to turn the fumble into 3.....

Better than the zero they have been getting, but I agree.

[Cheb]

The first Bucs lead since 10/1, and the offense squandered the turnover. I mean, we got points, but still.

Those naked bootlegs never work. I have no idea why we continue to run them. The unblocked ends refuse to respect the playside run action (and rightly so), so Baker always has a huge dude in his face as he tries to make a dumpoff to Cotton in the flat.

We do that at least four times a game and it's a wasted down every time.

[acmillis]

Take a drink every time you think Baker is holding the ball too long. I’ll start writing all of your obituaries at half time.

[TonyLip]

C’mon Bucs!
Show us how practice makes perfect!!!

A Dave Canales special

[Heisenberg]

Not a fan of those playcalls. Run out of shotgun which never works, naked bootleg which rarely works, then shotgun again. Waste of great field position.

[Bootz]

Ryan Neal is garbage.

[Doooshnzl]

Ryan Neal is garbage.

This defense is garbage.

[Doctor]

Penalties ugh

[Bootz]

@13F11B should that RTP have been called?

[Bootz]

Stroud isn't playing like a rookie

[Miller4Prez64]

Shaq Barrett has been an absolute negative this season outside of the Chicago pick six.

[Doooshnzl]

How much did we pay Dean?

[TonyLip]

Ouch

[13F11B]

Love that defense. Great defense. (laugh). Yep, defense sucks ass.

[Cheb]

Dean didn't touch the receiver until he was at the 2 yard line.

All that length, not using it at all.

And now he's injured.

[Bootz]

How much did we pay Dean?

Too much. And he's hurt again too.

[mdb1958]

Thx NFL

[TonyLip]

Texans coming after Deans replacement too

[13F11B]

Well, at least the Buccaneers had a lead for a small part of this game. Progress, heh?
