A pick 6 requires an actual interception and a touchdown. Doesn't matter if the defender "almost" picked it off. That happens all the time and it's called an incompletion. Just like dropped passes aren't completions... I think the Bucs receivers had 6 or more of those yesterday including the Miller drop in the end zone (Brady doesn't get credit for a TD on that one).
They were? They were the best team that year with an "all star" team from what I remember. They were the SB favorites. That wasn't me who posted that, it was Jeff Howe. Let's face it, the Bucs just lost to the Panthers, Steelers and Ravens and pulled a win out of the sky yesterday. I know you're a fan, but on this one, I'd tend to lean toward Jeff Howe. But we'll see, that's why they play the games.
They lost 3 of 4 heading into their bye and pretty much everyone said they were cooked at 7-5... they didn't lose another game. Brady beat Brees (@NO), Rodgers (@GB) and Mahomes consecutively to get that 7th ring... no one saw that coming.
We'll see, I know you're hoping that's the case and you never know, it could happen, but I think there are just too many holes....bad coaching, bad O-line, no Gronk, can't run the ball, best pass rusher gone, defense not great etc.
Every team has holes and nearly every team has had bad losses this season. On offense the Bucs really need to rethink their approach with their running game. Every game it's the same failing plays over and over again. The stubbornness is bewildering. Brady's already on pace to set a single season record in attempts (and completions) so they may as well concede to their passing game. Bowles thinks they have to pound the ball into a brick wall repeatedly to keep the play-action alive. The one play-action that worked yesterday came in a quarter where they threw the ball 30 times. The running game probably isn't going to get any better. Whereas Brady is still playing at an elite level, even though it may not be reflected in some of his numbers.
I remember it well. Almost no one thought they'd make the playoffs after that Saints game and when the did find a away they'd be 1 and done.
Yeah, I don't get it. Suddenly they're made of stone. Miller has made some good plays but he always been inconsistent.
He seems to be afraid of contact. He's been a disaster on intermediate passes over the middle. Then he checks out of the game after nearly every tackle with some apparent injury. He may have lost some confidence in his hands too on that drop against Carolina. He's been letting the ball get too close to his body since, which is increasing the drops overall. He's always had great hands, he needs to start relying on them again.
Never claimed it was a credit, just a commentary that Brady being at only 1 Int is luck. On the opposite end it's also bad luck he only has 10 TDs.
That's all on Leftwhich. They are doing way too many screen passes, particularly to Godwin. Too many plays are predictable and alot of times the formation is a dead giveaway. That Rams defender telegraphed it all the way.
Evans has been a big disappointment so far. I thought this could be an allpro year for him. In fact, if it wasn't for all the drops and miscommunication, he likely would be having a allpro year. He's let slip about 300 yards and 4 Tds. He possibly could have 900 yards and 7Tds by now.
Not ashamed or embarrassed. I loved to see him succeed with another game winning drive with the game on the line. He's still got it. I think it was a big deal for him and his legacy. As a fan I'd hate to see him fail on the field to end his GOAT career. I salute him
