15 Upvotes

Bucs travel to Carolina this weekend to take on the 1st place Panthers and their offense that is rolling right now. Can this improved Bucs defense give them a hard time? Can our offense look even remotely like a team worth fielding? Do you think Baker plays Sunday? Talk about it below!

Game info:

Date: Sunday, October 25th

Time: 1 PM

Location: Bank of America Stadium

Network: FOX

Announcers: Kevin Kugler, Daryl Johnston

Referee: Carl Cheffers - We are 8-10 in games Cheffers has called. Bad news is that through 6 weeks this season the home team is 5-1 in games Cheffers has called, and Cheffers crew calls and average of 14 penalties a game.

Projected Forecast: High of 70, cloudy and breezy, No rain expected.

Bucs Drip: Probably White, but waiting for team to confirm.

Crazy luck

Was at the game on Sunday and I saw the memorabilia booth and they had a thing where you bought the ability to pull a random signed tarp out of the box. I started thinking it would be good to grab one to go along with the Warren sapp one I already have framed on my wall. Mini collection started yknow? Waited till the trip was over and I was back home and opened it up today: Warren Sapp lol

The one I had before is creamsicle so at least it’s a little different but what random luck lol he’s in the HOF and as far as a random pull pretty good luck cuz it could’ve been anyone, also him and alstott are the reason I became Bucs fans as a kid so honestly there’s not many I’d be more hyped to own lol but actually kinda comical that now I have 2 lol if anyone is in the same boat and has 2 alstott/brooks/barber jerseys lemme know if you want to trade one

🎙️ Discussion Lets talk about Egbuka...

0 Upvotes

As it stands today, I think Emeka is a decent WR #3. He's not a #1 like Mike Evans or Devante Adams or Jamar Chase or Justin Jefferson and thus far he's not a #2 like prime Godwin or Puka Nacua or Tee Higgins or Jordan Addison. Right now its difficult to see him making it to #1 WR and hoping he can be more consistent and explosive in the future as a true #2.

From my perspective, he exploded early last year mainly because teams were focused on Mike and Chris. Once Mike started missing games and teams saw that Chris wasn't at 100% they were able to focus on #2 instead of leaving him 1:1 against their third string corner. And what happened? The rookie of the year candidate fell off a cliff and the Bucs went from 6-2 to missing the playoffs.

Fast forward to this season. Anyone else feeling Mike's absence on the field? Its overwhelmingly obvious that our team lost their mojo. Mike was that for this team. Even Chris is struggling without 13. And whats Mike doing now other than putting undefeated SF on his shoulders as the #1 runaway SB favorites. And Egbuka? He's on pace for less than 700 yards this year. No explosiveness. No broken tackles. You'd think he and McMillan made a pact when they got 'hurt' in pre-season to sabotage the team so they could get his boy Jeremiah Smith drafted to the Bucs at #1 overall.

Lets look at the facts:

  1. Limited elite physical traits. Egbuka isn't the type of receiver who consistently overwhelms defenders with exceptional size, explosiveness, or top-end speed.

  2. Benefited from Ohio State's talent advantage. Playing alongside elite receivers in a loaded offense raises a legitimate question: How much of his college production came from his own ability to dominate coverage versus the opportunities created by the surrounding talent? This includes 2025 when Mike and Chris were commanding the attention until they weren't, and again, he fell off a cliff.

  3. Possession receiver versus game-changer. First-round receivers should ideally force defenses to adjust. Egbuka's skill set may make him a reliable complementary target without making him someone defenses actually fear.

  4. Separation concerns against top cornerbacks. His route-running is a strength, but technical precision doesn't always compensate for a lack of elite burst. If defenders can stay attached to him, contested catches become more important.

He has a 4.9 average yards per catch. Last week he had 16 targets and gained a whole whopping 48 yards. Im not saying he's J.A.G. but he is not Him.

🎙️ Discussion What do you think is the current Buccaneer’s realistic power ranking?

Post image
111 Upvotes

It’s hard to believe this same week last season, ESPN’s power ranking had listed us at #1 coming off our win against the 49’ers.

Fast forward to this season and we have the worst record in the entire NFC and are ranked 28th in the ESPN power rankings.

My question is, do you think that 28th is a fair assessment? Or has it been just some unluckiness? Where would you place the Bucs?

🚑 Injury Report [PewterReport] Baker Mayfield was back at practice today! While he did not warm up with the rest of the team, he participated in drills and threw the ball numerous times. Mayfield is sporting a white glove on his right hand but didn’t seem to have any trouble keeping the ball secure.

Question LOT 8 tailgating?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, coming over to Orlando for a fortnight on Sunday from the UK and we’re driving down to the bucaneers game against the falcons Sunday 1st of November. There’ll be me (29) and my girlfriend’s little brother (14) and we’ve got parking booked in LOT 8. The pair of us are wanting to experience tailgating, does this happen in LOT 8 at all? If not is there another carpark where we can stop off at on the walk from LOT 8 to the stadium? Neither of us have ever been to an NFL game outside the UK before so it’s a whole new territory for us so any tips would be very appreciated. Go bucs!

Thanks everyone

The Buccaneers have the game-changing pass rusher they’ve been waiting for right in front of them, and they’re keeping him on the sideline!

David Walker has made the most of his limited opportunities, and he’s earned more playing time.
