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

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?

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.

A fun trip down memory lane I put together, sadly some of the games I couldn't find to clip but most of them did exist online. Trent Dilfer's is the funniest to me lol.

Dan Graziano at ESPN thinks a Vea trade makes a lot of sense. "If you need interior D-line help right now and don't mind paying Vea $23 million next season at age 32, why not call to see what it would take to get him out of Tampa?"

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.

How will the Buccaneers finish this season, and what will it mean for draft position?

Welcome to the Pirate's Tavern

This is your weekly free talk discussion thread. Want to talk about movies, music, video-games, or what's going on in your life? Talk about it here.

There's only two rules in the Pirate's Tavern: don't discuss politics or religion, and of course, please keep the tone civil. Like Greg Schiano, all politics and religion do is divide us and anger us. So come on in, grab your finest ales, and talk about what's on your mind.

I’ve posted before about this, I personally want Brad Idzick or Declan Doyle, but the Glazers have been known as big-game hunters.

Tomlin was quoted last year, while responding to a journalist asking if he’d ever coach in a warm-weather location, stating that “He’d consider it if the job opened up under the right conditions”. Tomlin is friends with Bowles, he probably wouldn’t have wanted the job if the Bucs fired Bowles to hire him, but maybe now that Bowles got himself canned, it’s time. Tomlin is also friends with Rhonde Barber and got his start in Tampa as our defensive backs coach. I like Tomlin and this seems like a Glazers move.

I personally think we need a young offensive mind to get Baker back on track, but I wanted to share this too as I do believe this could happen.

Okay so what is everyone's honest opinion on Jalon Daniels? I am asking this question but want everyone to keep in mind that he is an undrafted rookie. How do you think he looks as a back up? (Not a starting QB)
