Giants @ Buccaneers Discussion Thread

[Kress]

Funny (not funny) to see our injury list. It's like a who's who of your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

[King Bootz]

Unfortunately this will dominate the news cycle this week for us.

[Rocker]

Oh joy

[King Bootz]

I wonder who this will fall on more, him or the Bucs.

[BLT]

NFL doesn't want to look into fake vaccination cards they'll find 100's.

Tell us more.

[Nano]

I wonder what the punishment will be if this turns out to be true. I imagine he'd be suspended at least.

Technically, all we have right now is his former angry chef leaking a story with text messages from AB's girlfriend. According to AB's lawyer, he's vaccinated so it could end up being a nothingberger as well.

[Dread]

Bucs have released a statement which seemingly puts it on the NFL claiming they submitted everything to the league and their were no discrepancies

[Nano]

According to the article, there are 2 other Bucs players(besides AB) that are also sporting fake vaccine cards. Guy that instantly comes to mind is Fournette who was really against it for most of the summer.

And Brady because you know...he lives with Antonio Brown and has generally been quiet on the vaccine/Rodgers takes and runs the same health regiment that AB does lol

Yea who to believe, a disgruntled former chef of his or the organization who followed league protocol for review and submission of vaccinations. But hey, it’s a headline baby!

[Kona]

As for the Giants game, it scares me a bit. We’re on a slide and need to right the ship with a W. Thankfully we’re at home, but Giants always play us tough and took us to the wire last year. I think it’ll be a close game but the good guys prevail and we get back on track.

We should kill those antivax bastards

[King Bootz]

Giants will be going into this game with Barkley slated to return. We won’t have Vita and the run D has been susceptible to big plays as of late when we don’t sellout against the run.

[BJJ34]

The Giants are better than their record when healthy.

They’ve got weapons out-wide, Barkley, if he’s back, is a threat everywhere. Danny Dimes is known to take off and scramble forcing the linebackers to play smart football.

The good news is their defense is just not good.

[Dread]

Giants are tough inside on defense with good DTs.

Bradbury at CB has done well vs Evans historically

On offense both Saquan and Golladay are suppose to return. So that's an RB1 who is potential top 5 at his position and a WR1 both returning.

They should be explosive on offense as a result. Bucs gotta be careful of the big play.

But their Oline is still trash, so even without Vea the Bucs D should be able to contain the run.

We need to keep Danny Dimes from killing our secondary

They lack edge rush and speed at LB.

[MJW]

These things matter as much as one thinks they do, but I suspected we usually played close games with the Giants, and I was basically correct. 6 of our last 7 meetings with the Giants have been one-score games.

*An NFL intern receives photocopies of vaccine cards, types something into a spreadsheet, nods approvingly, and then gets back on Reddit.*

The league never actually cared about COVID and it seems like every week a player or related element is exposing it. Which, I really don’t give a shit. AB is hilarious.

The league doesn't actually care about anything but making money. Which is almost always fine. Including this.

[BJJ34]

Didn’t they just come out and say that the vaccine doesn’t help stop the spread anyway?

Oh and that Pats win earlier this year seems a lot better now that they’re 7-4.

[Nano]

If we lose to the Giants, we could possibly end the week up just a .5 game against both the Saints and Panthers. With a crowded NFC playoff picture that includes the 49ers and Vikings not far out either(both could reach 5 wins this week), the question could start to become do we even make the playoffs this year? Forget repeating lol.

Neither was the Redskins but apparently they held the Bucs high octane offense to 19 points.

WFT was a "book it" scenario as well and they are worse than the Giants. Y'all will learn eventually that book it means nothing in the NFL until the games are actually played.

I would imagine it would be no worse than what they did to Aaron Rodgers. Same 'crime'.

People said the same about the WFT.

We are undefeated at home and we are pissed , we ain’t losing bro ski

The WFT have talent all over on that defense, especially their front 4… they just haven’t meshed well up to the Bucs game. Listen, this team thought about us all offseason. We knocked them out, coaches sat and thought about that and devised schemes that could beat us. Combine that with a piss poor effort in the first half. Then on top of that you get a devastating drive to end the game. Hopefully that drive wakes up the defense and we get healthy(Jesus, Allah, whoever… we as a fan base have suffered) then the sky is honestly the limit.

We’re 6-3 having played some of the worst defensive football we possibly can.

We’ve beat 2 playoff teams as of now. We need to beat the Bills to really cement our status as “authority”. We’re still up there in sportsbook’s odds(not that it means anything).

[Kress]

I always find it funny the amount of stock people put into the history between teams, players being pissed off at their current losing streak, and crap like that.

What happened last year between the Bucs and Giants means nothing, much less can you put stock in what happened 5 years ago or the trend for the past 15 years; that's laughable.

These are different teams playing a new game. To the extent it matters that we know about their players, coaches, and tendencies, or they know about ours, history should not be the key factor. People have learning and disseminating that information as their entire job description. I mean, we've played the Colts 3 times in the past decade. We've played the Bills less than that. Nevertheless, they are both on our schedule this year. If our scouting team does not know every tendency of every play-caller and every player on those teams, they're not doing their job. We should go into those games knowing as much about them as we do when we line up for a rematch with the Saints.

When AB gets his booster shot, he's going to live-stream it with his lawyer.

Giants starting CB Logan Ryan placed on Covid list.

[Capsaicin]

This (Logan Ryan) injury helps us put up the 30 points we need to win
