Buccaneers Observer[238] Dallas Cowboys Preview Part 2: Score predictions, film analysisThis likely will be a very good showing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on primetime. Todd Bowles' defense is well-matched against the Dallas Cowboys' run-first offense. QB Dak Prescott likes to play conservative and mitigate risk. Chris Godwin joined the injury report with a quad injury. Others like Rob Gronkowski and Steve McLendon sat out today for a veterans' day off. The only player officially ruled out for the game is S Jordan Whitehead. The Saints drop RB Latavius Murray after he declined to take a paycut.--- Send in a voice message: https://an...2021-09-081h 02
Buccaneers Observer[237] Dallas Cowboys preview Part 1This week is an odd week so we've broken up the preview into two parts. In this episode, Molly discusses the changes the Cowboys made in the offseason, offensive line concerns and Dak Prescott's injury. Is the Dallas wide receiver corps a top ten trio? Top five? How much of an impact will the defensive line have against the Cowboys offensive line, particularly with their right tackle out on the Covid reserve list and their right tackle recovering from injury? The Buccaneers players seem eager for kickoff. Friday's practice was so physical the players opted to wear pads in...2021-09-061h 04Buccaneers Observer[236] IT'S ONLY SIX DAYS TO KICKOFF!!

Buccaneers Observer[234] Jameis Winston's preseason performance, Covid news, news from around the NFL, roster cutsJameis Winston had Twitter in an uproar this weekend as he scored two touchdowns in typical Jameis fashion. Saints fans are clamoring for Jameis to become the starter, and we couldn't agree more. Buccaneers Kicker Ryan Succop was diagnosed with Covid this weekend, which Bruce Arians linked to a dinner he had with former teammates from the Titans. Arians has announced the team, whether vaccinated or not, will not be going out when the team travels to Houston this weekend. Several Buffalo Bills players are being subjected to five-day re-entry rules after an infected but vaccinated staff member ha...2021-08-261h 05Buccaneers Observer[233] Bucs fall to the Tennessee Titans in Preseason Week 2The game didn't go haywire for the Buccaneers until the odd Tanner Hudson fumble for a touchdown. Prior to that, while it wasn't great, the guys competing for jobs showed some promise. The Buccaneers saw all they needed to see from OLB Quinton Bell, WR TJ Simmons, S Nate Brooks and S Lawrence White. The players were released Sunday, which brought the team to the 80-man roster limit. RB Troymaine Pope was waived with an injury designation. Titans HC Mike Vrabel announced Sunday he tested positive for Covid. Vrabel was spotted next to Tom Brady on the sideline and...2021-08-241h 03Buccaneers Observer[232] Titans matchup previewYesterday's practice with the Titans got lively as four skirmishes broke out, including one where Antonio Brown clocked a Titans defensive back. The starters will not play Saturday, leaving plenty of snaps for guys fighting for jobs. TE Tanner Hudson needs to make a splash, but it's not even clear he'll play with his wrist injury. OLB Cam Gill is another player whose tenure may be cut short due to injury. Based on how both teams played last week, we expect a physical game. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor...2021-08-2057 minBuccaneers Observer[230] First preseason game is in the books. Bucs fall to the Bengals.THAT was an entertaining preseason game. Backups on the defense showed a lot of promise. Nate Brooks, Antonio Hamilton and Joe Jones impressed. That list is not exhaustive, either. On the offense, Jaelon Darden made splashes reminiscent of Tyreek Hill. Giovanni Bernard also made plays against his former team. In other news, the Buccaneers made three cuts ahead of Tuesday's deadline to reduce the roster to 85. WR Cameron Kinley, TE De'Quan Hampton and WR Josh Pearson were the first casualties. Devin White received his diploma from LSU last week. The NFL has begun to release its top 100 list...2021-08-161h 01Buccaneers Observer[227] More training camp updates, NFL GamePass status, and more media activismTraining camp warriors have emerged on both sides of the ball. What does that mean for the regular season? Ryan Succop reportedly been inconsistent this camp. Should that be cause for concern? The sports writers have been going after players for nonconformity on vaccination orthodoxy. The NFLPA pulls a bait-and-switch with Covid protocols.

The strength of schedule for the year certainly favors the Buccaneers. Is there a team in the league that can compete with the Bucs? We were in the fortunate position of drafting best available player rather than need. The Kyle Trask pick has garnered some criticisms, but we prefer a pocket passer to a running quarterback any day.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/buccaneers-observer/message2021-05-1354 minBuccaneers Observer[223] Offseason Updates & Draft TalkFull disclosure: we know nothing about the draft.

Tom Brady signed an extension, Shaq Barrett and Gronk are coming back, and Jason Licht and Mike Greenberg are magicians. The NFC South, on the other hand, is a mess. Drew Brees retires from football, leaving the quarterback position in New Orleans wide open for competition between Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston. There's a steep drop-off at wide receiver after Slant Boy Michael Thomas, and the tight end room lost one of Drew Brees' favorite weapons last year, Jared Cook. The defense in New Orleans w...2021-03-1758 min
Buccaneers Observer[221] Buccaneers Free AgencyBREAKING: Buccaneers tag Chris Godwin and sign Lavonte David to a two-year extension. (Mike Greenberg is a true magician.) We break down the Buccaneers cap situation, who we need to sign, who would be nice to sign, and who will likely walk.

Ever. If you can think of a better team, send us a message. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers DOMINATED the Kansas City Chiefs in every respect. By the end of the game, the Chiefs players were demoralized and frustrated. The efforts in the mainstream to diminish the Bucs total domination is an affront to the sport itself and it amazes us that no one is talking about how elite the Buccaneers are. After the Saints g...2021-02-181h 26Buccaneers Observer[216] Super Bowl versus Kansas City Chiefs previewThe Kansas City Chiefs gimmicky offense will be no match for the Buccaneers defense. Vita Vea alone would have been a difference maker, but we've also got JPP and Shaq, Suh helping up the middle, Devin White and Lavonte at linebacker, and a playmaking secondary. Jamel Dean was absent from the Buccaneers first matchup against the Chiefs, and he was the only one who could have matched Tyreek Hill's freak speed. The Buccaneers offense line was also hobbled that game. The Chiefs have not been blowing out teams as they were last season, or even the beginning of this season...2021-02-031h 06
