Week 4 Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington Redskins

We're about to hit the quarterpole of the regular season, and it's not pretty. We know the Bucs had a late four game slide last year, and couple with the first three games this year, we haven't seen a real win in our last seven regular season games. Ugh. This week, the Bucs go on their second road trip of the year to the nation's capital to face off against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins are coming off an embarrassing defeat that saw them hand the Lions their first win in 19 games. Can they hand us our first win in 7 games? Let's take a look inside at some of the key points.

Two games are in the books. The Bucs record is 0-2. We knew the schedule was tough coming in to the season, but I didn't imagine that our biggest opponent would be us. The Bucs have been beaten with the help of some self destruction. The trend has to be stopped or the season will get out of hand.
Next in town are the New Yok Giants, fresh off of a last second win against the Dallas Cowboys. New York rolls into town a crisp 2-0 and looking to continue their streak. The last meeting the Bucs and Giants had seems like ages ago, but it was January of 2007 when the Giants came into Tampa as the wildcard winner and walked out of the stadium a winner, on their way to a Super Bowl win.
Both teams have changed drastically since then, so let's take a look at some of the keys to the game.

Five Questions with Big Blue View

Each week, we've had an opportunity to ask and answer five questions from our opponent's SBN blog. This week, with the Giants on tap, we shipped off five questions to Big Blue View and answered the give they sent us. We tend to focus on the upcoming week, who's out, who to watch out for, how certain players are doing etc. This week, we turned over the question asking to the users here at Buc Em. You guys threw a few questions our way, and in turn, we asked Ed over at Big Blue View.
Be sure to hop over there and check out their take on the game this week, as well as their Q&A with us.
1) With Plaxico gone, has this helped or hurt the evolution of Eli Manning as a quarterback? Do you feel the 2007 playoff run was the coming of age of both Manning and the team?

An incomplete effort, from top to bottom.

It's always tough to try and remain objective when you're not only writing about your favorite team, but writing in a place where a few other folks will read it. I've done my best to remain impartial, and would like to think I'll continue to do so. This column is one of those from a disappointed fan. I've never been blindly optimistic or blatantly pessimistic instead trying to remain objective and as impartial as I can. I'm not sure how this will go over, whether it will look like whining after a loss or a quick look at some big issues with the team. Take it for what it's worth.
That being said, I was pretty fired up after the recent loss to the Bills. The Bills beat us, hats off to them. I can handle being out-manned, out-coached, out-schemed, but I can't handle sloppy play, blown assignments and undisciplined play. You all are probably sick of me using that word, undisciplined. It's not a buzz word, or one of those exciting football terms. It's something that we all have to have in our job, and it also falls in the realm of being an NFL player.
But I'm not an old timer calling out the team to play more like the olden days with leather helmets and no forward pass. A well coached, well disciplined team always shows well, win or loss. Like I said, I can handle losing, I can handle mistakes, but not when they come in bunches. And right now, I see a lot of sloppy play.

Bucs come out flat, fall to Bills 33-20

A tough, tough game to take. This was just about as bad as things could go. Not only did the Bucs not win, but the way they played in every phase was just uninspiring.
This game most likely represent the Bucs best chance to win over the next few games (though the Redskins certainly aren't blowing anyone away). With a trip up to see Buffalo, a win was needed to get things moving the right direction. Instead, we got another loss, some bad habits, and very few highlights handed to us.

Not much to say about this right now. We looked pretty below average in most categories. Discuss
