Just thought I would share these

#2 passing team at 269.2 yards per game
#32 rushing team at 76.9 yards per game

In our first meeting Brady threw for 212 and we allowed 152 yards rushing.

Tampa’s Defensive ranks
#9 total yards- 324.4 per game
#9 passing yards- 203.6 per game
#15 rushing yards- 120.7 per game
#14 in points allowed at 21.1 per game

In our first meeting Dak threw for 134 yards and we rushed for 71.

The secondary is going to have to step up!

We really need to mix it up on defense Monday night. 3, 4 and even 5 man fronts to keep TB uncomfortable. Go from max pressure to max coverage. Move him off his spot with safety blitzes. Above all, we can't give up freebies by playing 10 yds off the WRs. Brady will dink and dunk all night. He's incredibly patient but at the same time, hates to hold the ball. Employ almost a bump and run coverage and make Brady hold that ball the extra second. Sacks and Ints will come.

you know they will rush for 200,one look at our LBs should be a easy gameplan for them.

……and frustratingly enough they rushed for over 150 yards when they last played us.

although stats usually tell the story, they seem to go out the window when teams play us. Quarterbacks that have their first start or backups seem to play their best games, defenses that are riddles with injuries suddenly become hard to pass on, etc,etc.

having said all that I still expect the Cowboys to beat the Bucs in a blowout……it’s what bipolar teams do.

Quinn plays bump and run with Diggs but at the 2nd corner he plays at minimum 10 yards off the ball. Godwin will destroy our middle IMO.

TBs OC and QB are actually going to scheme for the Cowboys tendencies (unlike some other OCs in the game). Play action will be a big part of their game plan with some double moves on shorter yardage plays, so they will test the Cowboys run D very thoroughly and be patient with the run. They likely believe there is yards to be had on the ground vs. the Cowboys D.

So it's the resistible force (their run game) vs. the movable object (our run defense).

And I still feel it's a mismatch.
I’m with you regardless of what they have been averaging all season. I’m running right at Micah and testing these lousy LB’s every chance I get.

The L on Mon feels inevitable. Like we will never win another game with this roster or coaching staff.

But it’s always darkest before the dawn. Beating the QB who has OWNED us his whole career would be the PERFECT recipe to restore hope, confidence, and swagger to a franchise that is teetering on another epic late season collapse.

Mon night is HUGE. Huge for Dak. Huge for the coaching staff. Huge for the fan base.

If they beat the odds and send Brady packing, all bets are off the rest of the playoffs. This team will be flying high and could be incredibly dangerous and capable of beating any team.

Come out on Mon night flat, sloppy, disorganized and lay another egg?! This offseason will be twice as tumultuous as last year. “Failure” would be too weak a word to describe the reality of the state of the franchise.

In his last 6 games (not counting the last game of the season as Brady didn't play the entire game), Brady has had an average of 48 attempts/game and 301 yards/game but over those 6 games he has thrown 12 td's to 7 int's.....so look for a continued heavy passing attack by TB....so the Dallas secondary, which has given up 200 yards passing/game on the season but 244 yards passing/game their last 3 games, to be tested early and often by Brady & Co. (WR's Evans and Godwin are both 1,000+ yard receivers this season with 29 combined 20+ yard plays between them)

Leonard Fournette is exactly the type of player that exposes this soft franchise.

He will run down their throats.

Whatever they average they will double against us
