What we learned about today's game against Tampa Bay

Rivera needs to stay away from his former self. Playing for a FG right before halftime was unacceptable.

Shula is still Shula. Calling failed plays time after time and wtf plays on 3rd down is what keeps points off the board. Yes he has good streaks, but that's it. Every drive he has at least a couple plays that leave you thinking "wtf?". He is the major thorn in the offense's side.

We really need Cam. If he is not on IR, you really have to question that he should've started this week. Fractured ribs isn't something that is going to feel better in a week. Makes me think Rivera reverted back to his overly cautious self. You need your best players on the field during division games. They count too much. You aren't guaranteed anything in the NFL.

Godfrey is terrible. Needs to be replaced asap.

Philly Brown looked more confident today than he did all preseason. Hopefully he keeps this up.

DWill still has it!

Our defense, although got a little soft after halftime, is still solid. Didn't look too bad for a first game. Can only only get better from here on out.

We can not rely on Luck and terrible QB play from the opposition every game. We need to fix the things above. I have a feeling if we were playing a more competent team, the outcome would be much different. Being conservative costs you games. We were lucky to come out of this with a win.

Honestly the Bucs got way more lucky than we did.

 

2 of McClowns passes that helped them score were like WTF LOL prayers that got answered....and then that late hit call....such bs.

I saw Mike Evans clearly pull down a guy from behind while McCown ran for the first.

WR's can catch.

Olsen is getting better and Better.

The defense is possibly better than last season.

The OLine is very average, but serviceable against "good" DLines. 

RB's underperform for their pay, but can make plays.

 

 

The game plan shouldn't be judged too harshly. 

How much would YOU air it out with your backup QB?

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
