New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official Game Day Thread: New Years Eve Edition

[Bootz]

Happy Game Day Bucs fan and Happy New Year to everybody. I hope your 2023 was amazing and I hope 2024 brings great things for you all as well.

The Bucs certainly have had a good 2023 and even better month of December. We are 4-0 so far this month with a chance to close out the month with a 5-0 record, a winning season and most importantly a 3rd consecutive NFC South title. To do so they'll need to beat their heated NFC South rivals the New Orleans Saints.

The Bucs beat the Saints back in October in NOLA 26-9. They look to sweep the season series today. They will be without some key players today so guys will have to step up.




Let's hope for a great game, no (new) injuries and a win on the final day of 2023. Go Bucs!!

[Snake]

Bucs should win this emphatically.

I wanted to learn who was going to win this game, but Commish Roger Goodell will not answer or return my calls.

[TonyLip]

It’s Showtime

[13F11B]

Hey, hey, Tampa Bay. Go Bucs!

[Bootz]

I'm hearing the Glazers blacked out Dolphins/Ravens on CBS in the Tampa Bay area. Is this true?

[Bootz]

Yaya with pressure right off the bat

[13F11B]

Bad tackling on that Kamara run.

[Babeinbucland]

I can’t watch this game as yet as where I am trying to stream from is giving me fits. So any info for a bit would be appreciated

[Bootz]

WRAP UP ZYON

[Bootz]

That's how you do it, Devin!

[Kress]

We should cover people downfield. Mmmmkay?

[Bootz]

Zyon not having a great start

[13F11B]

Not liking the defense we are seeing right now.

[Kress]

The what?

[Kress]

Must. Stop. Them.

[Bootz]

Nice stop

[13F11B]

The defense made that too easy on the first drive. I hate when this team starts 7 points behind after the first series. Damn.

[Bootz]

Damn. Offense, your move

[Heisenberg]

We should probably try actually covering their recievers

[Miller4Prez64]

That was one of the worst drives of defense all season long.

[Kress]

Damn. Offense, your move

Is Baker going to Bake? Or is Baker going to Baker? That is the question.

[Rocker]

Pretty gross.

[Bootz]

Idk about "easy". It took them 14 plays to go 73 yards. They had a nice ball control drive. Hopefully we can adjust and get some stops.

[Kress]

We should probably try actually covering their recievers

That touchdown was practically indefensible, though. Good route, good throw, not much you can do.

[Heisenberg]

And wtf was zyon doing doing on that early 3rd down just standing flat footed? We always give recievers so much space.

[Bootz]

Only real gripe with that drive was the missed tackle in the backfield by Zyon. Other than that the Saints had to earn that score.

[13F11B]

Saints first opening drive TD all year. C'mon why do the Buccaneers always seem to do this shit.

[Grahamburn]

We have got to be the worst first drive defense in the NFL.

[GreatTimes]

And wtf was zyon doing doing on that early 3rd down just standing flat footed? We always give recievers so much space.

Don't want to give them an easy long pass TD. So he plays off so they can march down the field.

[Miller4Prez64]

And wtf was zyon doing doing on that early 3rd down just standing flat footed? We always give recievers so much space.

It looked like he didn’t know where the first down marker was if I’m being honest.

[Grahamburn]

Don’t really understand bringing pressure and playing off 10 yards behind it.
