Must win Skins vs Bucs pregame prediction thread

Even though we are only one game back in this terrible division, lets face it....this is a must win. Not so much as far as keeping pace, but hey - if we cannot beat the Bucs than we are not going to beat anybody.
Skins - 35
Bucs - 13

I am still shell shocked by what happened last year against the Bucs. With no pass rush, no Culliver and Deangelo Hall, Ryan Fitzpatrick looked like Tom Brady this past Sunday. I don't think you can predict any easy wins right now, no matter who the Redskins are playing.

I long for the day when I can say "this is an easy win for the Skins" with any degree of confidence.

DJax reportedly will be out. Not good. If Reed is out, we have a real problem. Time for Ross to learn some fly routes. Crowder too.

Jesus Christ. What a fawking waste.

I havent watched a Bucs game since preseason so I really dont know what to expect this sunday tbh.

On paper the Bucs have a better Offense and Defense than us.

Im just confused with ESPN ranking the Bucs at 31 on their wk 7 power rankings.

- Bucs are 2-3, im guessing they are coming off their bye. But somehow they are behind us, and 1-5 lions (24th?), ravens and chiefs?

- Bucs D is 5th in yards per game at 32..8 but allow 29.6 pts against. (we are 8th in yds and allow 23 pts against per game)

- Bucs offense seems to be doing okay. TOP is 30 mins. 22 pts per game. We are TOP 27 mins w 19.5 pts per game.

Did the Bucs play a bunch of scrub teams for their first 5? Why do we have this sense that the Bucs is a gimme game? The skins with a gimme game mentality?
--------------------------------------

We win if Desean, Culliver and Trent play.
We lose if Desean, Culliver and Trent do not play.
If only Culliver or Trent play, its 50/50.

This should be a win...Gruden gone during the bye if blown out

I'm starting to feel like this is a win or else game for Gruden. He's talking "code red" and what not. To me he sounds like he knows he's going to get fired if he doesn't win this game. Still no Reed, no Jackson and numerous other injuries = more of the same.

Bucs 23
Skins 20

He's not going to get fired until the end of the year if we lose. I remember Snyder saying that he'd never fire a coach again during the season.

Agreed, Gruden isn't getting fired.
