I'm not super optimistic about this game. I think they'll shut down the run and then we will see if they can block JPP and Barrett. I do believe the WRs could do damage if protection holds.
Defensively they need to shut down the run with the front 7 and keep safeties deep. Donovan Smith is average and can be exploited. Our young corners will be tested and will need safety help. Losing Kendricks hurts.

If Vikings can finally defeat Brady tomorrow, it would be a huge lift off our shoulders

More on the Bucs' blitzing.
In weeks 9-13 when the Bucs have blitzed, they've allowed a 79.2% completion percentage for a passer rating of 148.2, with 8 TDs and no INTs. Of course, two of those games were against the Rams and Chiefs, but Teddy torched them, as well.
Interesting.

How good is the Bucs pass blocking? I was thinking we should pressure brady to get rid of the ball quicker since he's not a mobile QB.

Bucs defense has been exposed the past 3 games, but offensively with the healthiest Mike Evans has ever been this season; it would be an absolute miracle to pull off the W here.

He's never been mobile but he's one of the best at extending plays inside the pocket.

He may not be a double threat but when it comes down to it, Brady is indeed the best. As he has a quick release!

Huge test today for Zimmer. Without Kendricks, Rudy, possibly Irv, possibly Gladney... and our whole OL is dinged up... Zimmer is going to have to scheme around the huge hole in the middle of the D with Kendricks out, and that is precisely where Brady likes to work. Regarding match up, I'm nervous about two things beyond our injuries: 1) you can beat Brady by pressuring him, but we have a weak DL that has not generated much pressure at all. 2) TB's DL and LBs are good at getting pressure and stuffing the run and our OL has been inconsistent, and all of them are dealing with injuries. I'm also not convinced that Dalvin is 100%, and he doesn't run with the same ferocity when he's dinged up. Oh, I forgot that we're also without Mattison.
I hope we can stay in this game.

Congratulations to Brady on being undefeated against the Vikings, I wish Vikings would finally defeat Brady but I guess it is not meant to be, the offensive line sucked today, I miss a great offensive line and it is time to cut Bailey, 5 missed field goals and 2 extra points is ridiculous, it is time to move on and find another kicker, why do we always have kicker woes?

Sorry but the GOAT got his fair share of help from the Zebras, seems like a reoccurring theme for us.
And our dead legged kicker just sapped the momentum out of us. Please cut him and move on.

Bailey will be cut after the season since there is no available kickers on the market right now to replace Bailey

Unfortunately you are probably spot on. His confidence has to be completely shot and will in now way be able to be trusted the rest of the season.

He won’t make the day tomorrow before he has to clean out his locker
