Postgame Thread - Week 1 vs. Bucs

The Bucs defense was down way more guys than us. Still played way better. The problem is not that our guys were lost on defense, the problem is that we have really bad football players on defense. They're not lost, they just suck.

Forbes and Juste both starting on the outside unsustainable. They both are not NFL starters. The DL is so fucking overrated, it's not even funny. Allen can keep his fucking mouth shut all season. All he does is talks. But 90% of the games, we barely even hear his name. I'm glad we drafted Newton. If our defense looks anything like this all season, I'm trading Allen during the season and trading Payne in the off-season. Start fresh with Newton/Mathis and anyone else you draft or sign.

And let's stop acting like Bucs were elite super bowl contenders last year. they were 9-8. We got our asses whipped by a decent to pretty good team. It was an embarrassing effort.

By the way, where the fuck was Luvu?!? I think I heard his name once tonight.

Please explain how a top Athlete like Daniels can't slide or be taught to so he doesn't get mauled ...do the coaches not try and address this ?

That defense we put out there was so offensive it reminded me of last year.

I expected the offense to struggle somewhat but I really thought Quinn and Whitt would have the defense solidified.

Baker Mayfield is a 2 td guy and he put up 5. Just bad. Lotta work to do.

My only hope for this year was to be competitive every week. Keep the games close. We still have a long way to go to even reach that point.

This.

I blame DQ and the front office for not seriously addressing CB in the off season. Unacceptable that they went into Week 1 with those two as our starting CB’s.

Team came out flat and unprepared.

I swear to fucking hell, it looked like a Rivera coached/prepared team.

Sorry, that defense effort was inexcusable period. Whitt and Quinn were bad. I’m throughly pissed we are giving up 3rd and 17 first downs again.

Bucs are a good defense, but they aren’t a top offensive team period. The excuse making in here talking up the Bucs…Baker looked like Montana.

I took a nap during the 2nd half and woke up and the Cowboys were on. Same old same old.

This right here. There's a chance the Bucs are a better team than they were a season ago, but all we can go on is their record last season.

It's one week (and Week 1, so I'm in no way panicking), but I hope folks aren't overrating the Bucs due to them busting our butts today. Frankly, I still view the Bucs as as 9-8 team this season.

JD is gonna get injured if he keeps running. Concussion for sure with the way he gets down. Even today he took some glancing blows.

Not encouraging, especially from the folks who claimed he is pass first QB.

Sorry if you are mid way thru the 3rd quarter and you have more running yards than passing, then you are a running QB. If you lead the team in rushing and you’re the QB, then you are a running QB.

Garbage time passing yards

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Funny thing is, if York hits those two FGs and JD doesn't overthrow Terry coming out of halftime, it's a much closer game.

The secondary looked bad, but give Baker credit. After his first couple throws, he put the ball on the money all day. It felt like the D actually got to him a lot, but he was able to escape and make get the ball to his playmakers.

JD, not so much. His legs are definitely a weapon, but I don't want to see him running that much anymore. Zero reason your QB should have more carries than both your RBs combined. If they keep that up, he won't make it past week 4.


True you dont, but we were down so you gotta go away from the run a bit, and most of his runs were pass plays where it broke down and he took off, I dont like too many of the QB power runs, he isnt Cam

It was understood back in the day that you don’t take a rookie QB and throw him in as a starter. Speed of the game, new system, building cred and confidence as a leader, etc. Now it’s expected for a first-rounder, with the explanation that he needs playing time and first-team reps to learn the game.

Only now he doesn’t even have time to learn the game. At least according to some of us.
