Baker Mayfield And The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Are A Severely Underrated Threat In The NFC

[@FAMILYREX-um3tb]

Used to be a die hard Cleveland Browns fan. But after what they did to Baker Mayfield. I became a die hard Baker Mayfield fan. So now I'm a Tampa bay Buccaneers fan too.

[@FenixTheDon]

love to hear it. They thought they were getting a prime Watson but it hasnt been that way. Browns fumbled the bag massively. Im glad he found a new home in Tampa and is with a team that appreciates him.

[@ranger9991]

I've been a Baker fan since his senior year in HS. Helped that I've always been an OU fan. Rooted for CLE when he was there, but after the way they treated him, trading him to CAR, after everything he did there, CLE gets nothing but derision from me. I figured out Watson wasn't a top-10 QB a couple seasons before CLE traded for him; I laugh at CLE organization every time I see a clip of Watson crapping his pants. I hoped he was going to stay in LAR (thought McVay was a perfect fit for him), but so glad he's in TB now with Coen. He's going to have a great year.

Welcome to the squad my guy!

[@inevitableexpertise1016]

You just hop from team to team ahh ?

[@DavidArbuckle-sc8zc]

Welcome to the Club. I used to be a Packers fan. Moved to Florida and they got a Franchise in Tampa, I have been a Bucs Fan ever since. I was in the Stadium when Doug Williams, Ricky Bell and Lee Roy Selmon turned Tampa from 0- 26 to hosting the NFC Championship game. We are in the best Bucs Era in history. This is going to be a great season.

[@Smitty55dirk]

Canales was not as great of an OC as people think. Last year was his first year ever calling plays. He brought a bright and happy type of demeanor and they say fun to work with but the scheme needed work to help the running game and he couldn’t adjust on the fly like he should be able to. My prediction is that Liam’s offense will take a step forward, not backwards. More motion to tell the QB what the defense is doing then Baker will have options to change the play, be more of a field general. If he’s good at putting us in the right plays at the line of scrimmage the offense could take 2 steps forward! 😎 GO BUCS!

[@Yallknowtrey]

Yea our run game got 136 on the ground and 409 total yards

[@JP_Ness]

Sean Tucker and Bucky had a great showing in the preseason game, with Graham Barton being great in the run game too (watch him drive his guy into the end zone on the TD run). I'm excited about our run game! Also, props to the other rookie, Klein. On the second rushing touchdown push, he blocked his guy across the pile then jumped back in!

[@robertcarroll637]

The offense will actually be better because of the upgrades along the offensive line. The running game will be better.

[@inevitableexpertise1016]

No it won't Canales gone

[@mikejones9122]

Us Bucs fans appreciate your video bro... We get slept on every year we used to it by now... I agree with you on our d-line being the biggest concern... Our secondary got improved, as well as our o-line... But it will be a long season if our d-line can't stay healthy, can't pressure, or get sacks on opposing QBs... Our offense will be fine, so games may turn into shoot outs this season... TBB4L 🚩🏴‍☠️🚩GO BUCS

[@ranger9991]

Hope you saw the game yesterday. The offense is going to be much better, not worse. Coen is a better OC than Canales, and the OL has been upgraded, just wait and see. And Baker will finally get the opportunity to be a true field general and make adjustments/audibles based on what he sees pre-snap, instead of having to run whatever Canales called, even when the play was DOA before the snap. Baker is going to have another career year, and TB is going to not only win their Division, but they're going to get to and win the NFCCG in 2024.

[@812irishblue]

From a gambling perspective, Division winner +320, Conference winner +3500. They are definitely beind devalued, and ill gladly take them to the bank. Defense will keep them in most games and a new stable of RB's along with the new spread offence will translate into more points.

Last year the Bucs main weakness was the Run Game (last in NFL). Last night or 2nd-3rd team Offense had 137 yards and 2 TDs. Averaged 5.2 yards per Carry. In the first Half it was against the Bengals starting Defense. I see Bucs winning the Division and 1 or 2 Playoff games.

Things to be optimistic about: O-line, secondary (especially the safety duo,) WR's, RB's, Interior D Line. Things to be worried about: Outside LB's, OG & CB depth. Overall, I personally feel as though this team is primed for a run. As always, injuries can derail any good team, so let's hope for a healthy team this year, especially where we're thin.

[@darktatsu2894]

Finally a non biased analysis and spoke nothing but facts. I really hope people keep sleeping on Tampa bay. Atlanta getting all the love and I don’t know why but I’d rather they get the spotlight. Wil just make the Tampa players want to win that division..4th time in a row but are never the favorites 😂 we were only the favorites the year after we won the Super Bowl with Brady. If Godwin doesn’t tare his acl, and AB doesn’t have a meltdown and strip while running off the field, and wirfs for banged up, we would have been in the nfc championship game at minimum. Ties it up with the rams with less then a min left in divisional game and Bowles called a bond head play 0 blitz and it bit us hard n gave them the game winning walk off fg. It’s all gonna come down to players staying healthy. If we can stay healthy, we’re gonna be a major problem and win the division…AGAIN

[@inevitableexpertise1016]

Atlanta gets all the spotlight every year and every year they go 7-10

[@inevitableexpertise1016]

Don't count out New Orleans

[@JoelElRican]

The difference between Liam Coen and Dave Canales is experience. Last season, it was Canales' first time calling plays, ever. While Coen is coming in with experience and much more of a command of the offense he runs.

[@FenixTheDon]

I genuinely believe that we will see Tampa with about the same record at the end of the season. I believe that they can either win the division with that 9/10 wins or potentially be in the running for the playoffs till the last week.

[@Mr5thWave]

I'm expecting a much more dynamic offense this year, with Coen driving it. More motion, more "attack," more responsibility on Baker at the line. Canales was good but I was often scratching my head at some of the play-calling. He tried too hard to push a run game that just wasn't there. We're loaded for bear...Go Bucs!

[@timothyforsythe3155]

I am a Browns fan. I hope he has another good year following last year's great year. He makes the Watson deal look bad.

[@DaveTMTMTL]

Here's why I DON'T expect this offense to "take a step back." 1). "Play-Action" is Baker's forte. The running game was THE WEAKEST IN THE NFL last season. I expect to have an improved O-line (due to adding talent and a year of chemistry for most of them). That will improve the running game. 2). Rachaad White turned a corner in the last few games last season. Watching the efforts of Buc Irving at practice, and the fear of losing his starting spot, will keep him running with that extra effort. (Again, improving the running game.) 3). Mayfield is now going to be given more options to change plays at the LOS. I think this is HUGE! Baker is VERY sharp, and studies hard. I have no doubt he's going to have a lot of success by exploiting what he senses from the D. 4). Baker isn't splitting preseason reps with the 1s this time around. 5). Mayfield will have a year of chemistry with his primary targets. He hasn't had that in several seasons,. And when he did, it was throwing to OBJ, who publicly brags about how well he "ad-libs" his routes. (Baker is a "TIMING" QB who needs to know that his target won't zigg when he's supposed to zagg.) That offense wasn't built around Baker's skill-set, the way this one is.

[@tgatrelic7331]

Canales hurt the offense last year. He was too conservative and was too hell bent on Godwin to learn everything too fast. Coen is the “I’ll do anything to win” type coach. He already put Godwin back in the slot.

[@davidfuqua3941]

Baker will be better in 2024 than he was in 2023. If the line can give Baker a little more time he will hurt you every time. The Bucs will win the division again. Todd is doing a good job of building a teal around Baker and once that is done superbowl here we come.

[@dougnice67]

If the Bucs stay in attack mode on both sides of the ball, it will a long year for the NFC South opponents

[@813king7]

Tampa Bay and the majority of the players are overlooked year after year. Mike Evans and Lavonte David have been top tier at their positions year after year since they entered the league yet they don't get the same hype as others in their positions that are barely putting up the same numbers . Lavonte should be a first ballot hall of famer yet you never hear him referred to as a future Hall of Famer. Anyone questioning that check his stats, numbers don't lie!

[@gpking-54]

LVD One of the best LB ever. Not just in TB.

[@Joey-sr2fz]

Liam Cohen is a better OC than Dave Canales. Look at last night's pre season game.

[@inevitableexpertise1016]

They literary won the Division last season by a tie breaker. Lets see when Lattimore and Carr are healthy all year if Bucs win it

[@steveshiner9521]

U did your homework good job the Bucs do have the most talent in the division

[@inevitableexpertise1016]

Not on D they don't

[@uttermanbo]

Baker Mayfield got blindsided by Cleveland because they desperately wanted and thought Deshaun Watson was the guy. Todd Bowles was once seen as the Jets saving grace at head coach. But like so many coach/young QB combo in that teams history. Bowles and Darnold flamed out. The Browns and the Jets are two of the worst NFL franchises in the league. It's interesting to see if the two guys ran out of those franchises can win together in Tampa. It's gotta be more than one good year though.

[@enriquerivera687]

Ima be honest as a Bucs fan Dave canals is not a good play caller he’s just a qb guru he would run the ball up the middle most the plays and he didn’t even go behind our strong suit ( wirfs ). our new play caller seems solid with some experience canals had none before last year

[@michaelwright1467]

None..And I do mean None of the major football talk shows talk about the Bucs. They all have the falcons winning the division. Last yr, Bucs won 9 games without a pass rush. If they even improve this slightly, I got them taking the south and advancing to the playoffs. I think the Bucs love being the underdogs. Coach Bowles is not the greatest coach. But he's sneaky smart and assembles good coaches and find these late round gems along with GM Licht. Bucs just might surprise a lot of people in the sports world.

[@ttyl4027]

I'm gonna reject your opinion of Dave Canales... Liam is from Mcvay's tree. His tendencies and concepts are essential for the production of the offense. The offense will look different than B4 and some of the success it will bring will have us DIE-HARD buccs fans nostalgic about Warwick Dunn and Mike Alstott days...❤️‍🔥💪🏿💯

Canales phenomenal? The guy did not score a single touchdown in any first quarter. Bucs had the worst run game on NFL, worst in yards per carry, the worst and most predictable playcalling in the league. Canales was so bad as offensive coordinator that it took the defense to manage to win against the worst team in the league Panthers. When I hear people praising Canales I know is someone who doesn't watch games and just parrots whatever main stream media is saying. Canales was the biggest liability in 2023 not asset, liability. He was directly responsible for at least 4 losses that should have been wins

[@APST21]

@@realtordavidzusman4673 Stop it the run game has been bad since Ryan Jensen was out so don't blame that on Dave. He was a good OC for the bucs. The panthers defense was one of the best in the league and they gave everyone problems. His offensive scheme was good enough to win a playoff game vs the eagles and kept them close against the lions. Baker threw a bad int to end the game but it was open receivers down the field. So the Dave hate is crazy.

Bruh. There has to be a bias. You’re telling me the buccaneers who only won the division last year off a tie break due to their lame trash x qb Lameis wontwin throwing a 17-0 lead to Green Bay is severely underrated. But the saints are in trouble? That wild. Absolutely has to be a bias.

[@APST21]

No bias I just don’t believe in Dennis Allen or Derek Carr. The saints are an aging roster. Their defense is good when healthy but the offense is a mess. Mostly due to the O-line and Carr being very inconsistent. Granted they have a new offensive coordinator and I think he will be successful but they will be missing their best tackle this season and are depending on Carr to lead the way.

[@KermitTFYT]

@@APST21 how can you say the offense is a mess. The mess was last year during Pete Carmichaels show. Not Klint kubiaks. You’re talking as if the bucs went 12-5. They had the exact same record as New Orleans and if Lameis Winston didn’t blow a 17-0 lead, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Have you recognized at all the saints have changed their offense? Did you know Klint Kubiak is the new OC? how can you call something a mess, without ever seeing it in action. You believe in Todd Bowles whose done nothing and baker whose also done nothing. I even saw you say the falcons with Kirk cousins will battle it out with Tampa.

@@APST21 does it even matter to you the team you don’t believe in had the same exact record and the ONLY reason the bucs went to the playoffs was because of a game time injury. How does that even make sense? Also how is baker anymore consistent than carr?

@@APST21 baker being inconsistent is the reason he’s been on 4 different teams in less than 3 seasons. New Orleans isn’t depending on carr. They know he’s not gonna win them anything big. Rattler or Heaner will be the future. Something Tampa doesn’t have atm. Tbh it’s gotta be bias. Maybe if Tampa was 12-5 and didn’t split with New Orleans and steam rolled them the entire season I could agree but nah man it seems like bias.

[@KermitTFYT]

@@APST21 not to mention the aging roster stuff. Davis still plays young. Cam got replaced basically by young. Kamara has at least another year in him and we know carr is just as consistent as baker. All of New Orleans receivers are young. Something that can’t be said for mike evans and the bucs.
