re: Unpopular opinion: the Bucs scare me

People are seeing that 55 point score and are flipping out. Fact is Goff committed 4 turnovers and they were still only down one possession at the end. Rapeis tried to give away that game with that pick 6 but Goff had the same plan. People need to relax. This is the same offense we have faced year in and year out. They always had potential just the QB was the problem. The key is to rattle Rapeis and let him give you the game. I think the offensive output from the Saints this game will be better than the last 3 games.

The Saints and Buccaneers have split wins in 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015. The Bucs have won at New Orleans in two of those four splits. And, all of these games were with a healthy Drew Brees. This game scares me more than the Cowboys' game, to be honest. Here is why:
- The Bucs have one of the best rush defenses in the NFL.
- Shaq Barrett leads all NFL players with 9 sacks in the first four games.
- The Bucs will force Teddy Bridgewater to beat them, which is an awful thought, as he holds on to the ball far too long in the pocket, does not have a particularly strong arm, and does not possess Drew Brees' accuracy or creativity.
- Tampa has one of the best set of wide receivers in the NFL with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
- Tampa also has two solid tight ends in O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate, who could create havoc in the middle of the field against the Saints' linebackers in coverage without Anzalone.
Of course, the wild card is Jameis Winston...he can look like an all-pro or a whiny, little...
To be honest, the Saints may have a let down following the wins at Seattle and over the Cowboys.
For the Saints to win, the front four will need to get to Winston and force him into poor throws and a couple turnovers. Make no mistake, though, Tampa Bay has plenty of offensive weapons. And, Winston is mobile quarterback, which also creates problems when the Saints do break down the pocket.
Of course, all I want is a win, especially at home.

fwiw they have hardly got the TE's involved in their offense.
plus Jameis is always good for a few turnover blowups.

and the Bucs could have a letdown after their big win last week.
i appreciate what you are saying but the Saints D has buckled down and as long as we aren't turning the ball over no reason to think good things will happen.

Yes we’ve bucked down but Apple on Chris Godwin is a mismatch and Lattimore has struggled at times against Evans. Not to mention over coverage against tight end has suffered since anzalone went down

We will either lose game 1 to them, or win it in heart-stopping fashion.
We will then proceed to either blow them out or win comfortably in game 2.
Just like we always do.
