That play call made no sense at all. 3rd and 26, and you cannot afford to punt, and they call a give up play...

Really. What do you have lose?

Really. What do you have lose?

Getting hurt in week 4 to a non conference opponent.

Like I said, if they won last week this is sooooo much less shi.ty. 3-1 with the head to head against the Packers and 3-0 vs the NFC. But now they’re behind the Packers in both record and tiebreaker.

 

[Deus Irae]

Really. What do you have lose?

Exactly. You go for half on 3rd down and then take the shot at 4th down. You don't call a safe to Beasley in that spot.

 

[VectorPrime]

Well it worked out.

Onsides kick time.

Also Brady proving he still can play and that he isn’t the problem.

 

[ZotZot]

Those 2 TOs just cant happen against a Cheifs team this good. At least the offense got more healthy and looks good

 

[VectorPrime]

Bucs have three bunnies coming up and will be 5-2 when they host the Ravens. We’ll see if the Ravens haven’t melted down into a pile of injuries by then. Then it’s against the Rams also in Tampa.

Get through that and everything opens up for the rest of the season. 13-4 definitely in play IF the Bucs stay healthy.

Shouldn’t you have changed your name to Zappe(whatever number he is) by now?

 

[PatsWSB47]

Whats so funny MAC10?

 

[RicoG]

Either the hurricane, and then the opening fumble, completely threw this defense off, or this team has some real issues on that side of the ball*.








*Or both

Overconfidence was their downfall tonight

Overconfidence was their downfall tonight

The defense was definitely being overrated by the media so maybe they were too high on themselves. No idea how Devin White was named NFC defensive MVP of the month. He hasn't been THAT great. Coaching is seriously bad too. Particularly Leftwich who needs to be fired, but how does Bowles not simply take away Kelce at all costs and force Mahomes to beat you with the other guys?

It feels like Brady could have done better but the play calling and the penalties did him no favours, especially in the 1st quarter. I'm almost starting to miss Bruce Arians.

How on earth could they be overconfident vs. Kansas City? The defense wasn't exactly what you'd call stout.

 

[CISGS]

The play calling is atrocious, especially on first down.

To play that badly, it's the only explanation. Defences doubled and tripled Gronk alot in 2018 and he struggled. I don't know why most teams don't do that to Kelce.l

D White was a surprise pick. His stats weren't eye popping.

The defense got overconfident from their 1st three games and weren't prepared for KC.

Barrett opened his mouth saying that they were going to feast vs the Chiefs Oline lol they got manhandled 200 yards rushing

 

[RicoG]

They are trying to be more balanced but it's not working so far. The offence only gete going when there is an urgency to score and they start going on a hurry up offence and Brady starts calling the plays.

They wouldn't have gotten so many yards if the Bucs had Suh.

He was the only defensive player who balled out against the Rams last year, and was inches from sacking Stafford on the final throw. But the Bucs coaches kept on complaining about the need to get faster in the interior lol. Essentially blaming Suh for the their moronic decision to let Kupp run wild.

 

[RicoG]

Indirectly blaming Suh for the playoff loss to the Rams was classless by Bowles. Maybe he should just stick to defence. White starting the game and fumbling had his fingerprints all over it.
