Bucs offense Much more exciting team to watch than the patriots offense

Mike Evans…if only the patriots GM could get Mac a red zone weapon like that

To be fair to BB

Pats have never really picked in top 15 of the draft. That is where you can get a player like Evans. Of course the FA route is always there, but they're too expensive

Rodgers still getting the Ws though. But he is such a playoff choker, you almost have to cross out the Packers from being a contender to make the SB.

I think the Packers, like all teams, are better with a running game. They sure had success with it Sunday.

Yes sir. I'm guilty of counting them out too, but they're winning games with the passing game being their weakness so far with Rodgers as the QB

Hey a 2-2 record after the 4 opponents they had to face, all the skill position injuries, the OL meshing, and the hurricane to some extent has them sitting pretty good with the easy portion of their schedule coming up

It's the loss to the Packers that bothers, not the lost to the Chiefs, IMO, and for multiple reasons.

The Packers are like the Bucs, in that they really need time for early season healing and growth. The difference, to me, is that the Bucs have a ceiling of SB regardless of the draw, and the Packers have a ceiling of Divisional round-to-Championship round if they get a favorable draw.

Didn’t Justin Jefferson fall to 22?

So, any chance Jimmy G can do his old pal Tom a favor tonight?

Todd Bowles said Cam Brate came off the field complaining about shoulder discomfort and said nothing about a concussion. They noticed symptoms at halftime and he was placed in concussion protocol.

Todd Bowles, explaining Cam Brate's concussion: "He went on the sideline. He complained of shoulder discomfort, nothing about his head. He was checked out three times. He said 'Give him a minute.' Nothing came up. He went back in 'til the end of the half."

More Todd Bowles on Cam Brate's concussion: "At halftime, he started having symptoms. Obviously they were delayed. He started complaining about that. They tested him. He was in the protocol and we kept him out the rest of the game."

 

[Deus Irae]

Bowles said CB Carlton Davis is "OK" and Logan Ryan's foot injury is still being evaluated.

Bowles: “Everything in this game fell on the defensive side of the ball.”

 

[Tottie]

They're feeling good in the locker room by the looks of it

I don't know why. Horrible showing all the way around. Start slow and got hammered all the way through with offense getting some garbage time stats.

I don’t think the emotional impact of the opening f.ucking kickoff being fumbled away and instantly giving Mahomes the ball at the 20 right after the entire team was all psyched to get on the field for a big game can be overstated. It’s a MASSIVE gut punch to both sides of the ball.

Also garbage time stats? With Brady? Oh do stop, hasn’t it been proven as recently as the playoff game last year that garbage time basically doesn’t exist with Brady?

Ya Tampa is coming out of the nfc they don’t have a threat eith the way LA/Stafford are playing and GB can go 15-2 they won’t beat them

That pick six thrown by Stafford won't hurt the cause any...

 

[VectorPrime]

The NFC West is living up to my hopes of beating the shi.t out of eachother which is great. And Bucs of course have the tie breaker over the Cowboys and I don’t fear the Eagles.

That Packers loss is still such a pain in the a.ss though.

What? It was 28-17 at half, and 38-24 at the end of 3rd Q. That's not "garbage time", particularly when Brady is the QB.

Yeah it was still a game until the drive where the Oline committed those penalties

 

[VectorPrime]

So Stafford is cooked.

 

[Deus Irae]

So Stafford is cooked.

I don't know about cooked. They overrated him based off one season with the Rams, and his arm may still be a problem, but he's always been streaky, and he has always had a tendency to fail against good teams.

So, at least for now, I'll just put it all down as injured Stafford just being injured Stafford.

 

[VectorPrime]

It’s true and I’m part of the the right here...
