Coming Up: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[Rohirrim]

How the **** can they be the number one defense against the run and number 32 against the pass? They have the number 13 passing offense, while Denver's pass D is rated at 5. They have the 11th rushing offense while Denver has the 9th rated rushing D. On paper it looks good for the Broncos. Peyton needs to bust out for multiple TDs through the air. The Broncos D should be able to hold them down while PM takes them apart through the air. Pick DT for fantasy.

This is a decent team, I hope the broncos don't underestimate them. Schiano has done a great job there

I'm not sure what to think. If you look at their schedule http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/schedule...bay-buccaneers
they've beat the bad teams, and not by much, and lost to the better teams, but not by much.

Doesn't Peyton bust out multiple TDs through the air every game.

Well...



When I say multiple, I mean MULTIPLE. Like five or six.

This is a solid team. Schianao is an a-hole, but he coaches solid fundamentals and this is a really tough team.

Has anyone seen many games with these guys in it? I have only seen a little bit.

On Offense, they obviously run the ball frequently and effectively with Martin and they have some really good big play WRs getting thrown the ball by a big, strong-armed QB. Sound familiar? That's what made the Chargers so good for so many years when they were kicking our asses. This is gonna be a good test for our defense.

On defense, what they're good at is less clear. Their rankings are what they are, but from the eye test, it looks like they have a pretty poor pass defense, but one that always seems to make key interceptions, and they're really good at returning them for TDs.

It'll be a close, tough game, IMO. But it's also in Denver. We'll win this. Especially if Moreno can repeat his performance from last week.

V Jackson will have to be stopped. Averaging 20 yards per catch? That's a deep ball

[ludo21]

should be a close game, but they are terrible against the pass.

Freeman is bound to make mistakes agaisnt our D as well. Should be a win unless we turn the ball over

[2KBack]

Peyton goes for the single season passing TD franchise record this week....amazing that it is only 27

That guy moves like molasses...just can't figure out how he will be a problem for us.

Since their ypg surrendered ranks #30, I'm guessing their secondary has some major issues.

Manning is usually pretty good at expoliting that. At least he was back when he played against Denver as a Colt.

[HorseHead]

Get them huffin' and puffin' with no huddle...

Tough team, physical.., it seems like they should have a sh-t load of high drafted d lineman, bunch of them hurt..

WR's will be a good challenge for us..

Aren't a couple DBs suspended too?

[Bacchus]

I have both Peyton and Decker on my FF team... maybe I'll get a win this week.

The thing that stands out about their schedule is the total lack of secondaries for the teams that they have played. Plus V.Jackson doesn't scare me. Has he ever put up more than 60 yrds on us.

Exactly Jackson won't be a problem and he is their best.

Besides if Freeman tries to go deep I believe Von Doom will have something to say about that.

Martin will be a problem considering how pitifully we played the run last week.

Jackson used to kill Denver. Go look it up.

The offense is underrated. Their rush defense is overrated. If this game was in Tampa I would pick it as a loss. We can win, but it will be one of the more difficult games we'll play all year.

I disagree. The Broncos will drop 40 on them. 41-23 is my prediction. They are a solid team but they are going on the road at mile high against Manning and Denver's defense. They will move the ball but their having to kick FG instead of TDs will be their undoing.

I think it's more lack of pass rush. Only 18 sacks on the season. Denver has 37 by comparison.

Why is it every time we play an NFC team away it's CBS's week for only one game and every time we play an NFC game at home it's Fox's week for only one game. Gezz.

[CEH]

Denver is #2 in yards per carry at 3.6. TB is #1 at 3.4
Denver has had 302 attempts TB 264
Denver has only given up 5 TDs on the ground TB 9 TDs on the ground

I'd venture to say Denver is the better on defense both in rushing and passing

That is one thing I am still waiting for with Peyton. A monster 4+ TD game that he seemed to have every time he played against Denver

Exactly! And it needs to go to anyone on our offense except for DT. Hopefully decker, decker, decker and some knowshon. I am playing for a first round bye this week. I need a Monster game (not from DT) to put it away.

[LRtagger]

Is Tim crowder still starting for them?
