Buccaneers against the Dallas Cowboys. It was a 67 yard fumble return for a touchdown early in the second quarter Cheap O. J. Howard Jersey , as well as the botched handoff between Winston and Bobo Wilson that gave Dallas the ball inside the Buccaneers’ five yard line. Outside of those two plays, the Buccaneers played a pretty damn good game for a 5-9 team on the road facing a division leader, but those two plays cost the team 14 points. Winning football teams simply don’t make mistakes like that. With that being said, Sunday’s game did bring some top performers. Adam Humphries: Would it be crazy to say he’s the best slot receiver in football? Well, maybe a little bit, but he certainly is up there among the league’s best. Hump finished the game with 10 catches on 12 targets for 79 yards and had multiple third down conversions throughout. Week in and week out Hump shows up and does his job. In just a couple months, he should and most likely will be paid handsomely by the Buccaneers. Hump currently has 71 catches for 750 yards and five touchdowns on the season. Mike Evans: In other words, the sky is blue. Evans fell five yards short of the single season receiving yards record in Buccaneers history, but he did haul in six catches for 90 yards and a touchdown. He could have had a lot more if it wasn’t for a couple missed opportunities, but nonetheless, it was another impressive day for the fifth year veteran. Evans will surely break the record next week at home against the Atlanta Falcons. Vita Vea: The rookie is really coming into his own as the season winds down. Coming off arguably the best game of his young career, Vea had another solid outing in Jerry’s world. He registered his third sack of the season and was a weak facemask call away from another. Him and Gerald McCoy also did a good job of containing the Cowboys fourth ranked rushing attack. What won’t show up in the stat sheet is the couple of throws that Vea forced because of the pressure he brought. I counted at least three separate occasions in which that occured. Honorable mention: Lavonte David who had five tackles, with two of them being for a loss. Wow. The Carolina Panthers put 42 up on the Buccaneers just one month ago. On Sunday, they put up just 17 while Cam Newton threw four interceptions, three of which went to Andrew Adams.Jameis Winston played another solid game, making smart decisions and not turning the ball over. Although the run game struggled, this was another complete game by the Buccaneers.Let’s double up Sunday’s hero and Pick Six.Six Topics Suitable For Conversation1.) Visor Jameis Is Still The Best Jameis. Since coming back on to the field against the New York Giants Buccaneers DeSean Jackson Jersey , Winston has turned the ball over only once (on a desperation hail mary) while leading the Bucs to a two game winning streak. He says the visor is for “swag” but something seems different about him. I’m still of the belief the visor has some sort of prescription since Winston doesn’t like wearing contacts. Whatever the case may be, keep wearing it. It’s obviously working.2.) No DeSean Needed. DeSean Jackson was inactive with a thumb injury and the Buccaneers showed exactly why they don’t need to bring him back. Chris Godwin - who started in his place - was the team’s leading receiver. Adam Humphries was heavily involved. There is no more need for the distraction, the complaining, the sub-par effort, or forcing passes to DJax in order to try and keep him happy. Part ways after the season, save the money, and move on. Honestly, the team will be better off without him.3.) Donovan Smith Is Playing Himself Out Of A Contract. Donovan Smith was absolutely atrocious Sunday. At one point, he allowed sacks on back to back plays. His play has not warranted a second contract, especially not the way he will want to be paid. I’ve often defended Smith. Not because I felt he was great, but because I felt he was average and not quite as bad as some people made him out to be. At the end of the day, he’s at the low end of average on his best day. Left Tackle may be the position the Bucs go in the first round of the draft if there is a solid prospect available. Smith just isn’t cutting it.4.) Is Dirk On The Verge Of Saving His Job? Personally, I don’t believe so. Even if the Bucs manage to crawl back to 8-8, Koetter hasn’t done enough to stay with the team. There have been too many bad decisions, mismanaged situations, and questionable moves. The quarterback carousel, the continued support of Mike Smith whose defense was on a record setting pace of futility Buccaneers Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey , the overuse of Jacquizz Rodgers, the flip-flopping on the play calling. Its been a mess. The Glazers may decide that rallying this late in the season is deserving of another year, but it seems unlikely.5.) D-Line Shaping Up. Cam Newton was under pressure all day. The defensive line accounted for two of the four sacks with the others coming from Kevin Minter and Lavonte David (welcome back, sir) and it took Cam off his game all day long. Two of his interceptions were due to pressure and/or getting hit right as he threw. That was what Bucs fans have needed to see for a while. The rotation was working well, pressure was coming from not just the edges but also the interior of the line. Need more of that.6.) The Bucs Aren’t Mathematically Eliminated, So There’s Still Postseason Hopes. Eh, not really. It’s nice to kind of think about and they essentially ended the Panthers’ hopes Sunday given Carolina’s remaining schedule (New Orleans twice, Atlanta, Browns). The Bucs still have the Ravens, Cowboys, Falcons, and the Saints next week so the hopes are as slim as any, but the dream is still alive. However, if the Bucs keep playing this way - and they get a little help - they could just pull off a miracle. Just don’t bet your mortgage on it.Six Numbers To Consider4 - Interceptions by the Bucs Sunday. They had three in the first eleven games81 - Career touchdown passes by Jameis Winston - most in franchise history2 - Consecutive turnover free games for Winston7 - Players in the secondary the Bucs were missing Sunday (Carlton Davis, Vernon Hargreaves, Chris Conte, Brent Grimes Cheap Lavonte David Jersey , M.J. Stewart, Justin Evans (left game with injury), and Isaiah Johnson3 - Bucs players with three interceptions in one game - Andrew Adams, Ronde Barber and Aqib Talib13 - Points allowed per game the last two weeks by the Bucs’ defenseSix Best TweetsSix Ways To Beat The Saints Next Week6.) Slip weights into the soles of Cam Jordan and Marshon Lattimore’s cleats. Slowing those two down has to help, right?5.) Pay the bus drivers to take them to Amalie Arena instead of Ray Jay - don’t show, can’t win4.) Wear masks disguising the defense as the Dallas Cowboys. Brees will panic.3.) Kidnap Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas. Lock them inside the pirate ship.2.) Make sure all the food they order for room service is improperly cooked, causing a team-wide food poisoning outbreak and they have to forfeit.1.) Do exactly what you’ve been doing. Put pressure on the opposing quarterback, don’t turn the ball over, get takeaways on defense. The Saints were exposed on Thursday. Follow the blueprint.Six Super Bowl Bets*As always, this list is compiled before the conclusion of the Sunday Night game*1.) Los Angeles Rams - Division clinched and back in line for the top seed2.)
