Starting to really like offense.
Do the Bucs have a dangerous offense? Depends how you look at it.
Bucco Bruce Arians appeared on the “[Scoop City](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/would-coaching-college-make-bill-belichick-miserable/id1756145167?i=1000679856612)” podcast recently and said that unless an offense can average 28 points a game, it is screwed.
As a result, the Bucs are a cat’s whisker away from being dangerous. The Bucs average 27.9 points a game, fifth-best in the league.
So how does Bucs coach Todd Bowles describe his offense? It’s not dangerous, Bowles said. Not yet, at least.
> “We’re getting there, yes.”
After losing four straight (with Jamel Dean out of the lineup), the Bucs have since bounced back and have won two straight. If they can win three of the next four games, the Bucs (7-6) just may have enough wins to secure the NFC South.
Anything less, and it’s going to be really tight for the Bucs.
It would help on Sunday if the Bucs offense can explode for 30 points. That may be tough sledding against the Chargers as they allow a league-low 15.9 points a game.
Only three times this season have the Chargers allowed 20 or more points. So this will be a tough test for the Bucs.
But hey, if the Bucs can pull off a win, then there really shouldn’t be much of an argument who should win the NFC South. This week, “dangerous” could mean the Bucs score anywhere in the 20s.
