Well I found update on Smith that xray was negative,just calf soreness,might play Sunday.Part of me wants him to play, the other part wants to see what Haskins can do.

Vegas has the FT at a 76% chance to finish 8-8.

One lingering fear i have is Alex doesn’t come back and DH needs to win a game.
@ G one Jones is no Eli but i think he can remain relatively healthy. His turnovers are a much bigger issue imo.

Hoping Chase and Sweat learn how to get those turnovers from him for the next 5 years. I would be shocked if the whole NFC East doesn't make upgrading their OL top priority next offseason.

Chase and Sweat will be putting the fear of God in opposing offenses for years as long as Danny doesn’t fuck things up some how.
It puts a little comfort back in my brain that our Defense can win field position battles, get turnovers, and apparently out score our offense on occasion to win the game but DH moving the ball 20 yards on any sort of consistent basis is a legitimate fear for the near future. Uggh.

Laugh all you want but I actually think Haskins has finally gotten it. He had 3 nice drives from the middle of the 3rd quarter till the end. Two of those drives resulted in TD’s the third almost did on the end zone pass to Thomas, it didn’t end well but that’s on the OL.

Things that I saw that give me hope:

He learned from his 1st half mistakes
He took off running when no receivers were open
If no receivers were open he threw the ball away
Made some nice passes
Was confident
Did it against a tough opponent

If he plays like that again, which I think he will if he given the chance, we just might have found some hope at QB.

Coach Ron has to be extra motivated to make it to the playoffs by beating the team that fired him last year.

We are signing the insider trader Mychal Kendricks of the Seahawks PS. At one time he was a pretty good LB, let’s see what he brings. Will have him at least till January 12, his sentecing is January 13th.

I guess I would need to know what you define "it" as. He didnt look like complete crap, just because he cleared that low bar I dont think means he has gotten "it".

We started the second half down 20-3. Went 4 play INT and then "3 n out" in our first 2 drives.

I think with 5 mins left in the 3rd Q, Seahawks gave us the underneath stuff which we took and took. I think Seahawks adjusting their game given time/score has to be taken into account. But we cant overlook Haskins didnt look okay until we were down by 3 scores w 5 mins left in the 3rd.

If this performance yesterday showed Haskins has "it" ... what does that mean for Jalen Hurts? Hes has HOF "it"?

What I meant by “it”, the little lightbulb in his head has turned on, he’s starting to see the picture. By all means he’s no Jalen Hurts, but it’s a start.

2 games left, and the WFT has the high road to winning the division. As was pointed out elsewhere - a win vs Carolina and NYG loss to the Ravens and the Skins clinch it. How sweet would that be for Rivera.

I also love the fact that the team is hanging tough even with an unsettled qb situation. It really bodes well for the future.

Im starting to feel nervous .. and I love it. Meaningful football in December? After our 1-5 start?

There is a 45% chance the Bucs will face Washington in the wild card round of the playoffs, per FPI. It's the most likely first-round matchup combination to occur.

Ending Tom's career would be awesome.

HAHA, I'd love that.


We can beat the Seahawks with Alex in a rematch...same with the Rams and Cardinals, both who started out strong and have struggled in the second half of the season.

I honestly don't see a first round game that we wouldn't be capable of winning. Rams, Bucs, Seahawks, they'd all be tough games but we're not overmatched in any of them. Let's get there first of course.
