Week Ten: Chargers (4-4) @ Buccaneers (4-4)

DaRealdeal

The Bucs offense is riding high. Something clicked after the bye week and they are firing on all cylinders. The Bucs defense on the other hand, specifically the pass defense and pass rush, continue to struggle.

Coming from the West Coast to play a 1PM game is never easy, but the Chargers offense definitely has some weapons that can hurt us. If we want to stay in playoff contention we need to win this one at home.

Philip Rivers has been struggling big time. I think if our offense puts up a decent amount of points (about 24+), we can hold them down and win rather easily.

Bucs: 31
Chargers: 20

Rivers has been struggling but in order for him to continue his struggles our dline needs to help our secondary out and get in his face Sunday. If not he could be looking at a season best.

They're pretty good against the run. Hopefully Martin can get something going, 'cause Rivers is obviously gonna get his tree fiddy.

im still bummed that this is blacked out on local tv. THIS is a huge game for us even though Rivers has been struggling he did well against the Chiefs.. so we got to believe he will do well against us.

Big game. I think we should beat them, but we can't sleep on them. Hopefully we'll be above .500 after this game

I almost wanted to pick up Tampa's defense this week for my fantasy. Rivers has been downright awful aside from the Chiefs game. Their weapons don't scary anybody and we have a great match-up offensively. I think our defensive line will put on a strong showing and rack up 2-3 sacks against Rivers who is statue in the pocket. I can see us giving up a ton of yards but forcing a couple of INT's which will be enough for us to win by a possession or two.

Been looking forward to this game all week! Excited to see how Martin will follow up last weeks performance. Hopefully our secondary can hold up against Rivers' arm. GO BUCS!

BucsLife, your avy is too big. It should be 80x80, I believe. If you go here someone should be able to resize it for you.

Anywho, it's gameday, gents. Very Happy

So tired, gonna' struggle to stay up for this one but it's a big game in regards to the rest of our season so I'm going to make myself.

Interested to see if our rookies can keep up their form particularly Martin and David and I hope Free airs it out to V-Jax, love when those two connect.

I've given up hope for our Secondary thought, Rivers will have a field day. The only positive I can think of is we play the Falcons twice and I have Ryan in my fantasy team so hooray for those weeks, haha.

Go the Bucs! Very Happy
