***Week 8 GameDay Thread - Buccaneers @ Bengals***

[The Caped Crusader]

Over/under 1.5 second half touchdowns.

Seems like we fade in the second half incredibly.

Most would just shake their head or roll their eyes on a missed extra point.

What the hell is the clap and "Let's Go!  Let's Go!" for by the way?

Especially for a missed extra point.

Geez you guys need to relax.  Don't want him to scream at midfield.

Just thought it was funny that his reaction is automatically the same and on cue.

The announcers had just said our Kicker was one of the few still perfect on the season and was 25/25, while he Bucs guy is 17/21.

And, they commented about how the PATS from 33 yards out are no longer “gimmes.” (Hell, Justin Tucker missed one last week that cost the ravens the game). I’m sure Marvin knows this and understands the game well enough to act like a professional and keep his composure.

And, we the announcers have talked several times about the hellacious wind and how it’s going to get worse in the second half... after already having an impact on both teams in the first half.

Back to the whole Mixon being the best RB in the draft debate. Dude from Carolina looks like he wants to throw his hat in the ring.

Nice to see a balanced offense. Tampa really smothered AJ and tried to use zones on Boyd and so far they have paid for it. We REALLY have to get a good receiving TE so that piece of the puzzle is back in play. It has also helped that we have had some explosive run plays from Mixon which helps cause the opposing defense to be a bit less aggressive.

Most brutal division in more ways than one.

It’ll be interesting to see if we try to keep the ball on the ground in the 2nd half, and try to go for 2 more.

So far those of us who said earlier in the week that Jameis Winston would be our defense's best friend seem to be correct

Only when we play well in the first half

Really good draft for RBs. Hopefully Mixon keeps this up. I personally think Kamara and Hunt are on their own levels at the moment.

Yes, he doesn't seem to make good decisions, especially with that second INT. He seems to have lots of ability as that long TD was a thing of beauty.

[Joelist]

Once we get Gio and Kroft back it will help things. Were I the front office I would be on the phone to the Raiders about Jared Cook and basically do what is needed to get him. We need that receiving TE dimension back in the offense.

God I hate 3rd down with this D

[*PhilHos*]

If I had to say the biggest change in our defense today, it has to be the low amount of missed tackles.

Bates was there that time

[matmaven]

Bates helped inside that time

[Nicomo Cosca]

Bates good coverage.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

The fact that the Bucs did the same play and this time Bates was there over the top makes me think that he was supposed to be there on the TD, too.

[jfkbengals]

Wait a minute.

Has our opponent been called for offensive holding?

Twice?

IN THE SAME GAME?!?!

Terrible flag by Dre K on 2nd and 20

[RunKijanaRun]

I’m really tired of Dre
