Uhh they have more than Evan’s. They have Fournett, Gronk, Brate, and the 2 unknown WRs have played well. Yes, their OL has 2 dudes a hurtin.

Boom has been playing great but, hasn’t started/played a full game at LT. Hendo is the odd man out injured or not. He would probably only get 2-4 touches. Sony and Cam are getting the carries and targets.

That said, I like our chances. MUST STOP THE RUN. Then Brady is a sittin duck.

Win vs. Tompa Bay.

Once that's out of the way, then whoever/wherever we get to play we'll meet the challenge head-on. It would be nice to have the opportunity to host the NFC Championship and return two weeks later and host the Super Bowl. But first things first--handle the game on Sunday.

But i'll take it.


Bucs backup OT got hurt too. So they’ve got a MASH unit for an OL with 3 guys hobbled. My guess is they’ll try to gut it out and start the game, but we should be able to take advantage of them in pressuring Brady. He got sack 3 times in a row on 3rd downs last game. Brady gets rid of the ball so quickly but this is still a problem for him with the way our DL is playing now.

I really don’t see the Bucs going anywhere this year, it’s hard enough to repeat when you’re relatively healthy, but they’re not. The Bucs are going down, might as well be sooner than later.

We beat the Brady Bucs in Tampa(?), it's on. I have a feeling he's going to frustrate us this weekend with his version of dink and dunk. Raheem needs to pull a rabbit out of somewhere and stop that early or my TV might not survive the day.

home team record:
2020 3-1
2019 3-1
2018 4-0
2017 3-1
2016 2-2
2015 4-0
2014 3-1
2013 3-1
2012 3-1
2011 3-1
2010 2-2
2009 3-1
2008 1-3
2007 2-2
2006 2-2
2005 2-2
2004 4-0
2003 2-2
2002 4-0
2001 3-1

Looks like home teams swept 4 times over the past 20 years. That's 20% and fits if you assume each home team has a 70% average chance of success.

Anyways, there's a very good chance that at least 1 away team wins. Why not us?

The Rams played a A game against the Cards, the defense was an A+ effort.
That is hard to repeat. I remember vividly last year how our defense dominated Seattle only
to get run over by Rodgers and Green Bay. We were supposed to dominate their banged up line oops. One caveat we didnt have a healthy AD.

So again this game with Tampa is gonna come down to the trenches. Can we run the ball and protect Staff and can we stop the run and get Brady off his spot. This is the only game I am focusing on. Play what is in front of you.

Last year was last year. It's not the same team on either side of the ball. Tap is not the same team either...

Exactly.

Also, IMO this is the reason Stafford came to LA. An opportunity to face arguably the best QB in the league for a game that matters. Something he wouldn't get from Detroit.

I believe he steps up (as he did last week).

A lot is made of his failures, but he now has a chance to show who he really is.
