The Lake County must beat Tyrone on Sunday to remain in the championship.
Tyrone is "more than a tricky task, it's a huge task" for Westmeath says Gerry Buckley.
The Lake County face 2021 All Ireland champions Tyrone this weekend in their third and final group match of the All Ireland series.
Despite two positive performances so far away to Armagh and at home to Galway, Dessie Dolan's side are still winless in the group, with a win abolutely neccessary to remain in this years Championship.
Midlands 103's Buckley says while the performances have been good, they are in the close but no cigar category:
Throw in from Kingspan Breffni Park on Sunday is at 4:00pm.
