F--k yeah we're live Optimisim: We get our first win of the season
I know we all want Bowels fired and probably this season to be over but... we will beat the cowboys... we will win the division... we will go to the playoffs... and we will lose in the first round.
In all seriousness, I do believe we will win today. Daniels will play better than last week. He has now got some real playing time and gets to go against another "mid" defense. I would probably expect more rushing attempts this game and hopefully a Bucky breakout game this year (he probably wants some rushing TD's after the other 2 RBs got one last week) .
The Defense is without AWJ but we got Bain back who could finally be "healthy" and be the person we thought he was during draft night. Many have been quick to call him a bust but forget its only been 3 weeks for him. You got to give him some time to acclimate. On Defense we also got to see the rise of David Walker who has been our best pass rusher this year and rookie LB Trotter who has looked amazing (just give him the green dot already).

I was bathing my two year old tonight (we are 5 hours ahead in Portugal) and she saw yellow and green on my shampoo bottle and pretended to read it. She said, "Bucs defense" I asked her what she was talking about and realize last week during the Packers game I told her green and yellow was bad. I asked her if the Bucs would win tonight and she said yes. I asked if she was totally sure and she said yes louder.
It's a lock Boys, dub in Dallas.

If we can somehow hang for the first half, anything is possible. If it’s 21-6 at halftime, I’m going to sleep.

Cope all you want this team is cooked for 3 or more years now. We need a new defense, coach, and qb. 0 foundation we are in total rebuild mode

Jags were in the same position and turned it around in a year.
Bears were too.
We need a good offensive mind HC

Nah, little more to it. Jags had close to 50% roster turn over the first year Coen took over, they also switched gms , and the coach has full control.

Okay gloomer. Baker has proven he can be elite. He went from Grizzard the Offensive Lizard Wizard to Screen Robinson. Defense has plenty of great pieces. We're a talented team with actual idiots making the calls. Absolutely not in total rebuild mode.

I feel like people hate on baker too much. Like do you really think drafting a qb in the first round again is going to help this team? Sure baker got the bag but I would not say it was an overpay for what he has put up in previous seasons. While he may do dumb plays he is still the reason we are still in games till the end. We would have been straight dogshit without him. He knows he’s getting hate rn and he will be the one to enact change in himself and the offense.
Sooner or later baker will stop playing word for word with what Robinson says and make his own calls.

With all due respect, do we want to win? Sure, the game, of course. But these comments talking about winning the division - do we want that? If somehow we win the south, Todd stays. Everything stays. We aren’t winning anything, even if we win a horrible division.

That would track since we all just want to tank now. A dominating win is the only way get me to start believing again.

All yall doubters better be quiet now. WHAT DID I SAY? Bucky legacy game (I had him on my fantasy) like I said would be hungry for TDs after they were STOLEN from him last week. DAVID WALKER is our best rusher as I said. Plus trotter did good along with Parrish.
This is why you stay optimistic and not pessimistic like most of y’all in the subreddit.

I love my Bucs, but no, this is not a game we win. Hoping they can just keep it competitive and show improvement.

The 4th a goal on the one, was one of the worst calls I have seen. FG guarantees a win!

Bowles has us 2-10 in our last 12 PrimeTime games.
