Despite all the talk about getting the run game going this year, it would be a huge mistake to emphasize it vs TB. They have the front 7 to stuff our run game. Vita Vea dominates.

I don’t want to see a conservative, balanced offense, keeping the score close and allowing TB to get their run game going and leaving the outcome in Brady’s hands in the 4th quarter.

I say come out with short passes right away, stretch them horizontally and gradually vertically. Don’t let Vea do what he does best. Make him rush the passer and wear down or stand on the sidelines. If I’m Kellen Moore, I come out firing, try to get an early lead and make TB more one dimensional if possible. Get the pass rushers and DBs on the field in numbers.

Losing big or losing small is still losing. I just don’t see us having success running the ball this week or winning a last possession game vs Brady without our rookies making mistakes on both sides of the ball.

Yeah running against the bucs will be tough with Vea so we will need to be imaginative with our run game. With McGovern and Biadisz in the middle I don't know if we will be able to run up the gut against anyone., I don't think Tampa's run game will be that impressive with a backup center and I believe a backup guard . We need to use turpin and pollard to help create mismatches and misdirection. We need to be aggressive and try to get ahead as even 7 point lead with Brady late never turns out well. I Believe our pass rush will have success against their line but Brady gets the ball out so quick, hopefully with a backup center who was drafted as a guard will help us get a push up the middle, one of the few things that make Brady uncomfortable as he loves to step up and fire off passes.

Lets hope we come out on fire for a change and take it o the Bucs, I live just South of Tampa so I would love to beat the Bucs especially with Brady and this is most likely our last shot at Brady.

The Bills were getting rid of the ball in like 2.2 seconds. Pass rush ain't getting there that fast. I think both teams will feature the short passing game and run game.
