Beitrag The Bucs have deep history in the Windy City, going back
Ah yes Buccaneers Chandler Catanzaro Jersey , good ol’ Chicago. when the Bucs and Bears were in the NFC Central division before the 2002 realignment. Though there is plenty of history between the franchises, these two teams don’t know much about each other.That should make for a fun game on Sunday. These five predictions will make it even better. 1. Khalil Mack records a season-high in sacks (Evan)Yea, this sucks. The Bucs were terrible against the Steelers’ pass rush last week and I don’t see it getting any better going on the road during a short week. This isn’t a knock against the Bucs’ offensive line nor the coaching staff, but Mack is on another level when it comes to his skill and athleticism. Tampa Bay had issues with lesser skilled players last week, so why wouldn’t Mack give them trouble?The hope is that when he does eventually get to Fitzpatrick/Winston that he doesn’t hurt one of them nor cause a turnover. Demar Dotson and Donovan Smith will need to be at their best on Sunday. Mack had two sacks against the Cardinals last weekend and I think he improves on that number this week.2. The Bucs hold the Bears to under 300 total yards (Evan)Tampa Bay’s defense has improved each week and this week feels like the perfect opportunity to showcase just that.After the Week 1 shootout with the Saints, they held the Eagles to 21 points and rendered the Steelers scoreless in the second half. They recorded three sacks in each game and are one of the league’s leaders in quarterback pressures.Can Mitchell Trubisky have the game of his life against the Bucs?Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images The Bears aren’t the model of offensive excellence, either. They are near the bottom in terms of passing yards and are solid at running the ball, but it’s not enough to displace the passing game woes. There should be seven defenders in the box for most of the game and the Bucs are competent enough at corner to hold their own against the not-so-talented receiving corps of Chicago. The Bears have already been held to under 300 total yards twice against the Packers and the Seahawks. In all, it should be a good day for the defense. 3. Jason Pierre Paul adds another two sacks to his total (Alex)JPP has been the Buccaneers best defensive lineman this season and it really hasn’t been close. Jason Licht sacrificed a third-round pick for him and so far he is getting a massive return. Pierre Paul already has more sacks this season then any other Buccaneer defensive end had last season and he is also second in the league in terms of QB hits with 8. He is noticeable on almost every down, something Buccaneer fans haven’t seen since the days of Simeon Rice. JPP is on his way to a double digit sack total this season. 4. Mike Evans dominates... again (Alex)When the conversation starts on the best receivers in the league, Mike Evans is rarely brought up. There is no question that Evans is at least a top five receiver, but he has been on another level through three games this season and he is coming for that number one spot. He is too big, too quick and has added much needed speed down the field this season. It really doesn’t matter what you do, he is impossible to defend and a nightmare for defenses. Evans, will probably be matched up on Kyle Fuller Cheap Mike Evans Jersey , who is the Bears #1 cornerback for most of the game, but I don’t expect it to have much of an effect. Mike Evans stat line: 9 catches, 145 yards, 2 touchdowns 5. Chandler Catanzaro is perfect... AGAIN (Evan)Maaaaan, I’m going out on a limb on this one.Alex was crazy enough to predict that he would hit all of his kicks last week and he did. It will be even harder to do so this week in Chicago, but I think it will be done. A kicker’s mentality can be as frail as Chris Baker, but when they are confident, it’s hard to shake them out of said confidence. Catanzaro does it again this week as the Bucs win by a field goal. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can't avoid questions about Jameis Winston's return much longer.The young quarterback's three-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy ended after Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is unclear, however, if he's coming back as the starter.Ryan Fitzpatrick has made the decision a lot tougher than expected by throwing for more than 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns in Winston's absence, including going 30 of 50 for 411 yards and three TDs against the Steelers.Dirk Koetter repeatedly shrugged off questions about his plans while Winston was away. And now that his return is imminent, the coach is still not saying."Let's see what the injury report (says)," Koetter said Monday night, sidestepping the question once again."Anytime we have these games, it's not always obvious how the guys are going to come in the next day and come in on Wednesday Cheap Vernon Hargreaves III Jersey ," the coach added. "Let's see what happens. I mean, I'd love to get a chance to talk to Jameis face to face before I tell the rest of the world."Ben Roethlisberger threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers (1-1-1), who built a 20-point lead and held on for their first win despite not scoring in the second half.Pittsburgh's defense forced four first-half turnovers, including three interceptions of Fitzpatrick, the 35-year-old journeyman quarterback who's led the Bucs to a 2-1 start while throwing for more than 400 yards in each game."You know, I have so much fun playing this game. I have fun playing with these guys, and I'm here just ready to do whatever it takes to help the team win," Fitzpatrick said. "I think that will be my mindset going forward."Winston started 45 of 48 games over the first three years of his career. He was suspended following the NFL's investigation of an accusation that in March 2016 he groped a female Uber driver during a ride in Scottsdale, Arizona."We love Jameis. He's a member of our team, and we're anxious to get him back," Koetter said. " He'll be great in our locker room and . whatever role that he ends up in, I know Jameis will embrace that role and give it everything's he got."Some takeaways from Steelers-Buccaneers:WHAT TURMOIL?The Steelers capped a tumultuous week in which star receiver Antonio Brown made headlines by shouting at an assistant coach on the sidelines and getting into a spat on social media with a former team employee.Brown scored on a 27-yard reception, Ryan Switzer caught 1-yard TD pass from Roethlisberger, and Vance McDonald stiff-armed safety Chris Conte to break into the clear on a 75-yard pass play that got the Steelers going early.Roethlisberger's on-field chemistry with Brown appeared fine in the first game since the receiver responded to a former team employee on social media by suggesting the club trade him if it wants to find out how productive he can be without Roethlisberger."I still think the biggest issue was outside the locker room, people perceiving different things," Roethlisberger said. "Not saying we don't have issues. All teams have issues Kwon Alexander Jersey , and there's different things going on. But I think it was made a bigger issue than it really was."FLAGS, FLAGS, FLAGSThe teams combined for five roughing-the-passer penalties, most in an NFL game since 2001, as fans around the league continue to gripe about flags being thrown for what appear to be routine tackles. Pittsburgh was flagged three times for hits on Fitzpatrick, and the Bucs were called twice for roughing Roethlisberger. In all, the Steelers were penalized 13 times for 155 yards. Tampa Bay had nine penalties for 80 yards. The Bucs also had a holding penalty that wiped out what would have been an 80-yard punt return for a TD by DeSean Jackson."I thought the penalties kind of marred the game. There were a lot of penalties on us and on them," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "We'll look at it and learn from it, but I thought the guys played extremely hard."COMEBACKTampa Bay made it close by keeping Roethlisberger and Pittsburgh's high-powered offense on the sideline for long stretches of the second half. Fitzpatrick led a long field goal drive that consumed nearly eight minutes of the third quarter. The Steelers used most of the remainder of the period to move into position for a 47-yard field goal that Chris Boswell missed.The Bucs used TD catches by Chris Godwin and Mike Evans to pull within 30-27. They got the ball back with just over three minutes left, but the Steelers defense forced a punt and Roethlisberger ran out the clock."I thought our defense played awesome, creating turnovers, short field, making some stops," Roethlisberger said. "I told this team afterwards that was a total team win, all the phases. That's what Steeler football is all about."
