Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Francisco 49ers Official Game Day Thread: Gut Check Time Edition

[Bootz]

Happy Game Day Bucs Fans.

Tough one for me personally today. Our 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers face an uphill battle to get to .500 and back in the playoff hunt as we take on the 6-3 San Francisco 49ers.

Not to make this about me but I am an avid 49ers fan. It's always hard seeing your favorite teams face each other. So that's all I'll say


Go Bucs!

[TonyLip]

I like the 49’ers as well…Lynch & Co.
However, here we are…

Would love to see the Bucs play with finesse and steal
Away

[TonyLip]

Let’s go Bucs!!!
.500 baby!!!!

[acmillis]

Need 49ers -10.5 to cash a nice lil parlay (assuming Phins and cowboys hold on).
I have 0 faith in even being competitive today.

[Grahamburn]

I’d like to keep it close. Respectable. Competitive. We’ve wilted against good teams the last two years. I’d like to see us make it a game.

[TonyLip]

I think Baker hates losing…
Lessee….

Drive that pocket backwards and get Purdy

[mdb1958]

Give Vea help!

[Cheb]

To beat the 49ers, we need to win the line of scrimmage and play disciplined ball in both sides. In short, we need to play like a playoff team to beat this playoff team. Win or lose, this'll be a great litmus test.

Lets hope Purdy looks less then last season vs. us.

[Cheb]

Great pass by Purdy there.

[13F11B]

Would have been a nice interception there, but alas no luck.

[13F11B]

C'mon, 3rd down defense better show up today.

[13F11B]

That pass rush is terrible... it was all bunched up in the middle.

[Cheb]

Got lucky that Purdy double-clutched the throw on that third down sack. McCollum fell down. Good finish by LVD though.

[Phantom]

Nice sell by Thompkins lol

[mdb1958]

Need that TD now and then another stop.

[Bootz]

Offense seemed......nervous there.

[Cheb]

Jarrett is our target for our first third-down play? Really?

[Doctor]

Offense needs to settle down a bit.

[Grahamburn]

Jarrett is our target for our first third-down play? Really?

Doubt it was the first read. Especially considering the lack of accuracy/timing.

[13F11B]

Two almost throws by Baker. One almost picked. One almost big play.

[TonyLip]

C’mon Baker
Make it happen on a broken play!!

[Jonny]

Baker needs to calm down a bit. Canales needs to help the offense with easier to execute plays like screens.

[Doctor]

Come on Yaya.

[TonyLip]

Vita

[TonyLip]

Arghhhh

[13F11B]

The 3rd down defense frustrates me. Too far off the ball on 3rd down.

[TonyLip]

3rd an 7
And we play 15 yds off!!!

[TonyLip]

Bowles
Fix this!!!!

[Bootz]

Dean holds and then gets injured. Seems about right

[Doctor]

These penalties moving this drive.

[TonyLip]

That’s BS!!

[Grahamburn]

Weekly Dean injury.

[Doctor]

This is gonna suck. Maybe have to take Davis off Kittle now. Actually really liked how we were attacking them for the most part.
