How are we feeling about our defense's chances against Mahomes and the Chiefs? I am very concerned. Mahomes has 8 TD and 9 picks on the season. He hasn't thrown 2 TD in a game 3x, 1 TD 2x, and 0 TD 2x. With the way our defense has been playing (off coverage, lack of middle of the field coverage), I would not be surprised if the Chiefs look the way they have been for the past few years against us. The Chiefs haven't eclipsed 30 points in any game this season, and their largest margin of victory was 13 points against the Saints.

This seems like a game for Mahomes to put up a vintage performance and throw 3-4 TD against us. Only two teams give up more passing yards than us. Only two teams give up more yards after catch than us. And only four teams have given up more passing touchdowns. We have given up 15 passing TD this year, with 8 of them being from Cousins and 5 of those from Lamar. Sure, we gave up 2 total passing touchdowns from Jayden Daniels, Goff, Nix, Hurts, and Rattler combined, but this is Mahomes and Andy Reid. If any offensive coach can figure out a way to expose our defense, after we've been shredded for 3 of the last four games, it will be Reid.

Our offense really needs to focus on the run to keep Mahomes off the field. What do y'all think?

My family and I are going to our first Bucs game next Sunday vs. the 49ers from Sebring (central FL). Would appreciate any tips on parking and/or good places to eat nearby before the game. Thanks.

A 40+ point lead for Robert Aguayo. Honorable mention: Vernon Hargreaves, Jameis Winston

This is your weekly free talk discussion thread. Want to talk about movies, music, video-games, or what's going on in your life? Talk about it here.

There's only two rules in the Free Talk Friday Thread: don't discuss politics or religion, and of course, please keep the tone civil. Like Greg Schiano, all politics and religion do is divide us and anger us. So come on in, grab your finest ales, and talk about what's on your mind.

Can anyone guess who I dressed up as to pass out candy?!? Happy Halloween to all you Buccaneers! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

In the wake of some devastating losses recently there's been a big uptick in posts that break our sub rules. As mods we try to be a bit lax immediately following big losses as we know emotions are high from the game and people come here to vent and share their frustrations with fellow fans. That said many of these posts should just be comments in the stickied threads (Post game thread, Monday Booth Review, Pirates Tavern, etc...). We are a lot seeing posts that break the rules well after the game has ended, so we just wanted to post this as a reminder. We as mods don't always catch every single post or at least don't see every post immediately so if you see your post get removed for breaking a rule hours after you posted it, that's why.

Anyhow here's the posts we're seeing most commonly:

1. Low Effort Self Posts: After a loss we see a lot of self posts about 'We need to fire X' 'We need to trade for Y' 'We need to bench Z and start A'. We have an automod tool in place to remove many of the low effort self posts but it doesn't remove them if the content is long enough. However just because there's a wall of text doesn't always mean there is much substance to the post itself. This rule though, especially after a loss is where our mod team generally tries to give a little leeway, but please try to come with an actual point to your post and give your insight. Quick general vents should go in the post game thread or Monday Booth review thread. Also check the sub before you post to see if there's an already existing similar venty post similar to what you want to post. We don't need 6 'I want Bowles fired because he sucks at X' vent posts after every loss.

2. Editorialized titles: Links to articles/tweets/youtube videos/etc… MUST have the post title match the article title. If it does not match we will remove the post and ask you to submit it again with the correct title. Seeing too many posts titled 'bring him home' 'this would be great' 'he's gotta go' 'random string of emojis' etc… Those titles give zero context to what you are linking too. Your commentary on the article should go in the comment section.

3. Screenshots posts: Screenshots of articles will be removed. Link the actual article (and follow the title rule) so that people can read the whole thing and not just the title of the article. Also if you are screenshotting a video please consider if it'd be better to just link the video instead, though this one has a little more gray area as the whole video might not be pertinent to the team. But one example we see often is the NFL weekly game predictions where the whole video is related to the team. Post the whole video so we can see it and not just the screenshot of the media predictions at the end.

4. Trade Speculation: In the wake of Godwin and Evans getting injured we saw a huge uptick in trade idea posts with wild speculation all over. Many of these posts fall under our Unrelated to the Bucs rules as those players were often in no way linked to the team even in trade rumors. If there was any shot those players might come to Tampa do you really think Schefter/Rappoport/the other talking heads would miss a chance to write an article/post a tweet about it?

Use this thread to discuss the upcoming match up. Who are we playing? Where are we playing? Why am I asking you all of these questions?

All non-serious comments will be removed.

just arrived today :’)

Fire the cannons, anon.

To me, it feels like we've missed on some critical opportunities to correct key needs in our team. Ernest Jones, Joshua Uche, and DeAndre Hopkins were all players we could have used. As these ships sail, what kind of message do you think the front office is giving its fans if they make 0 transactions before Nov 5th?
