After a dismal performance against Dallas last week, the Bucs go on the road to play the Kansas City Chiefs.

Side note: The Bucs should pay attention to the ass kicking the Giants will give Dallas this week.

With Larry Johnson out for this week’s game look for the Chief’s running game to suffer again as it has the last 2 weeks against Tampa’s tough defense. Tyler Thigpen has a nice week 8 going for 25/36 280 yds, 2 TD’s, 0 INT’s, but that was against the Jets and lately everyone is rolling up big numbers against them. The Tampa defense should shut down the run and cause the young quarterback some issues. There’s a reason they looked at Culpepper.

The Chiefs are 31st in total defense. It’s a slump buster and sometimes that’s what you need to get out of the funk and get back on your game. We’ve all done the slump buster, so there’s no shame in it. The Bucs offensive was inept last week, so it’s a match made in heaven. With Galloway getting back into the groove, expect Chucky to test the Chief’s defense deep down field to take some pressure off the running game. Tampa should be able to control the clock and take home a win on the road.
