I think this game is a test of our coaching and gameplanning more than anything.

Has the past four weeks given Arians false confidence about our passing attack? Will he just have Brady launching it every other play with no regard to the pass rush?

We can easily gameplan around the front 4 of the Redskins, but will we? Slants, bubble screens, RB/TE screens, shallowing crossing routes. Couple that with a lot of rush attempts and suddenly Chase Young can't get to Brady. All our deep stuff needs to come from PA or with heavy protection sets.

Now, if we start doing a bunch of empty backfield 4 and 5 WR looks and leave Smith one on one, then that's a recipe for disaster and a clear indicator that coaching is still an achilles heel of this team.

On the defensive side of the ball, we have no excuse. Unless we have a bunch of turnovers or bad special teams which leads to poor field position, there's no reason why our defense should give up more than 10-13 points against this putrid Redskins offense.

I'm confident in our roster being leagues ahead of the Redskins, but I'm still nervous about the coaching.

Pretty good take from a Bucs fan. Weve seen teams play quick ball on us all year and while it does limit their QBs exposure to our pass rush ... its also a big reason we have the leagues #2 pass defense allowing only 191.8 passing yards/game.

Be interesting to see how it plays out. Sure Bucs can play quick ball ... but will they win raking up 200 passing yards on a 21/32 type performance? Can Arians and TB stick to being conservative and safe?
