Seahawks vs. Buccaneers: 5 questions about Tampa Bay with The Pewter Plank
By Lee Vowell
Who is going to win between the Seahawks and Buccaneers?
12th Man Rising: Who wins when the Seahawks play the Buccaneers on Sunday and which Tampa Bay players need to make the biggest impacts?
Cory Kinnan: It’s hard for me to say the Buccaneers win this game. They are 2-5 and abysmal against the pass; they are however, first in run defense, but this will not matter if the leading MVP candidate can sit back and pick apart their defense all game.
While the Bucs usually play well against Seattle, it feels highly unlikely that Winston and company will pull this one out. In order to shock the world, they will need to get after Wilson early and often, and the return of Jason Pierre-Paul should help with that.
With an inconsistent rushing attack, the Bucs will need at least 350 passing yards or more, and less than three turnovers to have a chance. This doesn’t sound like asking a lot, but Winston has thrown seven picks and lost two fumbles in a two-game span.
Summary
This is going to be a tough game for the Seahawks. Seattle is 2-2 at home in 2019. The good thing is it might be a training game against a good Tampa Bay front for how the Seahawks can overcome an excellent 49ers defensive line in week 10. If Seattle learns its lessons well, that might mean great things.
