Bucs fans were on their feet screaming and hollering, but the noise in Raymond James didn’t effect Mariota at all. “Hopefully, I’ll get to go this week”, Evans said.

Well, at least we think that should be the case. Many believe he should have given Brees a chance to win the game.
SERIES HISTORY: 47th regular-season meeting.
There is absolutely no reason Tampa Bay should be able to stay close.
With how bad the Bucs looked last week and with this being the Saints’ home opener, expect the points to flood in. They curently are 11-point favorites to beat the Buccaneers.
If the Saints had finished on certain plays, maybe the outcome could have been different in the desert.
But after taking a beating from the guy drafted one spot behind him, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had a date with the film room.
And though that value still is less than the Dolphins (ranked No. 16 in the National Football League at $1.85 billion) or the Bucs (No. 24 at $1.51 billion), Forbes says the Jags lead the state teams when it comes to operating income (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). But also, he committed three penalties (and actually committed four, but two occurred on the same play and, thus, only one could be accepted).
“They haven’t given an official ruling, but hopefully I’ll be out there”, Evans said. There’s no better time to make this happen than at home against a team that’s young and still trying to find its identity. “If you’re not as strong, that would benefit us”, Smith said. I don’t know what or where that is but it can’t be good.
“I don’t know if I could (make a 28-point difference), but it was hard to watch my team”, Evans said.
-LB Bruce Carter has a rib injury he suffered on the opening kickoff against the Titans but returned to practice Wednesday.
If you are offended easily, then you certainly don’t want to go onto (or join up with) any of the large number of NFC South-themed “smack talk” groups that are on Facebook; which are exclusively devoted to fans of the four teams. “This is just one game, I always can bounce back”.
The ball has to move down the field.
The Saints also re-signed wide receiver, Joe Morgan. Bobby Rainey, who backs up Doug Martin at running back, serves as an effective and risky return man, averaging 27.7 yards per kick and 8.5 yards per punt last week against the Titans. So is the novel I’ve been writing since 1998 Sean, and much like Byrd, you won’t see it any time soon.
Benjamin Watson started at tight end and caught three passes for 19 yards, but wasn’t targeted within the 20-yard line and has only eight red-zone TDs in the past five seasons.
