Buccaneers Down Saints 51-27

0

Well I feel like I just saw three games and took a few years off my life at the same time.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the opening kickoff and scored a touchdown for the third straight week. Then they jump up by 14 after a scoop and score by Antoine Winfield Jr. Bucs had a chance to go up 21 but Baker Mayfield missed Mike Evans in the endzone so they settle for a FG and go up 17 zip.

At this point I’m feeling great and relaxed but apparently so were the Bucs. Saints score 27 points in every  way possible. Buccaneers go into halftime down 27 to 24.
That 2nd quarter felt like all the Bad Buc collapses I’d ever witnessed all rolled up into one.
However, if you rewatch the game, you’ll see a key sequence on the Saints last possession. Todd unleashed a series of pressures that confused the Spencer Rattler. This was right after the third Interception thrown by Baker.
Todd continued to employ this high pressure defense and New Orleans had no answers.
On Offense, Chris Godwin took a check down pass and scampered into the end zone and they never looked back.
The Buccaneers leaned heavily on their running game to the tune of 277 yards. The duo of the Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving were unstoppable.
Bucs win Bucs win Bucs win! Lots to review with this game but with the Ravens up next, a running game is just the elixur needed.
Great win boys!

Of all the NFL teams that I could follow, why did I choose the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? It was 1979, I was an impressionable 12-year-old living in Canada. At that time, getting any NFL coverage was tough enough but that was reserved for the elite teams like the Cowboys, Steelers etc. I watched one game at 1 PM and one game at 4 PM. That was it. No Redzone, no night games on Sunday Each Christmas my family would drive from Montreal to visit my aunt in Jacksonville. I remember seeing the Bucs playing on TV against the Falcons when I was there. I saw something that day that changed my fandom forever. There was a QB wearing number 12, in an orange jersey and he wasn’t white! As a minority myself, seeing a non-white QB was something that immediately I was drawn to. I knew that this was the team, and this was the guy who I would follow. The years between 1979 and 1997 were obviously difficult but my fandom never wavered. If anything, it made me stronger as a person. I’ve often joked that I’ve had 3 wives but only ONE football team. I was asked if I wanted to write the occasional article for Bucs Report. Talking and writing about the Bucs is a full-time hobby so of course my answer was YES. I’m 56, retired and living in Costa Rica now. I sport 4 Buc tattoos and have been fortunate to make many visits to Tampa to watch the Bucs. I’ve made countless friends and even more memories. I look forward to chatting and interacting with the many Buccaneer fans throughout the world. Go Bucs Greg D’Cruz
