GAME DAY! Week 3 Tampa Bay (2-0) vs Pittsburgh (2-0)
Tampa Bay is WAY overdue for a win in this series, because Pittsburgh currently leads it 7-1 with the only Bucs win coming back in 1998. Three years later the Steelers sacked Brad Johnson 10 times and called our Bucs “Paper Champions”. Well that was Lee Flowers who called us that. The next year Warren Sapp did a dance through their workout on the Raymond James carpet. The Steelers jumped out to a 17-0 lead we were unable to overcome.
Of course in a few weeks we would become champions, paper and all.
But its three games in a row our Bucs have lost to these visitors from Steel-town, USA, and its about time for a change of pace. In all 8 games, all Bucs teams combined have only managed to score 91 points against the men in black, which is a sad 11 points per game average! Tampa Bay will need to do better than that to escape with a win today over arguably the best team the Bucs have faced all year, preseason and all.
One stat in the Bucs favor is the Bye week is coming up, and Tampa Bay is 8-6 going into the bye, and 8-6 on the other side too!! We also outrank Pittsburgh in a lot of key catagories such as Total Offense (280.5 to 240.5), Passing offense (173.5 to 116.5) but the telling stat on how similar these two teams are; only half a point per game is all that separates the two squads. Pittsburgh has allowed 10 points per game, the Bucs 10.5. Could the Steelers win 11-10?
While your thinking that one over, enjoy the game day program. Since there is no TV coverage, it will be tomorrow before any clips will be up.
