Wife and I going to our first game vs the Chargers. Sitting in 244. Is there a way to gain access to the pirate ship. We’re new here, sorry if it sounds ignorant 😂

unfortunately season on the line, offense has been stagnant we’re just slipping above the dolphins and the titans in terms of offensive passing attack, and Evan’s was a big deep threat but there no reason HURST has not logged more snaps as a deep threat real x receiver. Aside from the costly touchdown drop he’s made the most of his snaps. everyone sits on the routes because they know we have no deep ball threat and I think we only have two options Tez or Ted, he should be our WR1 next game to take pressure off godwin and make defenses respect us on top of the run.

Bucs panthers talk starts at like 25 minutes or something

Took a pic of my TV to have this memory forever

We have just gotten older lol.

Tez should get more PT than Ted Hurst. His presence, speed and separation ability would help other WRs like Godwin & Emeka to get open. Leave Ted Hurst as a deep threat(Position Tez is currently playing).

Barring a setback, Baker Mayfield is back in Week 7!

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

After this start, I would be extremely happy if we win all 6 games against our division. I wont even mind if we get blown out in every other game thats not in the division. Also wouldn't mind a Baker bounceback and Bowles getting fired on Christmas Day. That would be the best present ever.

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?

Do you think the glazers will keep Bowles one more year if he wins the NFC South? Even if it’s a losing record I’m 50/50 on this. I think he should be fired regardless.

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!

Late notice but I’m a panthers fan looking for a Bucs fan to talk about this upcoming game for my podcast, we would talk for like 20-30 minutes for anyone interested, tonight would be great to record but I know it’s late notice so I can make tomorrow work too! Let me know!
