6th game of the season and we still don't know what to expect from this team.

The Oline looks like patch work due to many injuries. We are relying on AP to get rushing yards with no holes and getting hit in the backfield. CP will probably take too many hits again.

Defense will have to keep us in the game, if we can hang with the Bucs.

Could get ugly like last week.

would really be a boost for this team if the defense dominated this game.

No offense, but really? This team has been nothing if not consistent.

No running game - check
No pass protection - check
Specials suck - check
Defense weak verses good teams - check
Coaching gaffs - check
Terrible team - check

We ALL know EXACTLY what to expect. The only wild card is AP and let's face it, he's been consistent over the past two years too . . . consistently bad.

That said I'll be plunked down in front of a tv watching this dreck.

Intrigued to see if offense can get anything going with AP and the returns on the Oline

I believe the AP acquisition will have the team jacked-up today, they'll win, and we can all enjoy some false hope of a promising season for a week. ;)

Totally agree with all the above. I was trying to put a little question in the equation. Not much positive from this team so far except a few quarters of where they look like they might be able to do something and it all falls apart.

Not expecting much this game to be honest. Last few games we have really looked bad and coaching staff is not helping at all. Deteriorating team grasping for straws at this point of the season.

Key to game figures to be how much they involve DeSean Jackson this week and how well PP21 contains him.

TB's pass rush hasn't scared anyone this year/hopefully Palmer gets a breather.

Will AP get 20+ carries? Or will they use him a lot as a play action decoy to give him time to assimilate fully into the Card offense?

Will TB go the smashmouth route, rushing Martin and throwing to OJ Howard a lot?

PP likely won't see much of desean. He will be covering Evans. DESeans speed will kill bethel.

I believe one our past two opponents had three sacks on the season total before laying 7 on us. So the other teams pass rush is immaterial. Palmer is still going to be smashed.

20 carries? That's tough when playing from behind with an oline that can't run block and BAs pass happy philosophy.

Doug Martin will have a difficult time against our run D.

It would be nice to see the Cards give Bethel some help over the top. I hope Buc looks more in form today. He really looked rough last week. I thought Reddick did a good job of contain. Since Winston only runs out of desperation, I expect Reddick to free rush this week. Martin returning will make their offense better balanced.
