Congrats to Geoff Handgartner. He played great for Buffalo lastnight.

Do you think our O-Lineman we lost this year maybe pushed our starters to play better last year?

Possibly, our OLine play has fallen off terribly so far in preseason and week 1 compared to late last year. It could just be that we've faced 5 tough defenses, Giants, Dolphins, Ravens, Steelers and Eagles.

And before anyone brings up Peppers' cap hit, Hangartner would've left regardless. It wasn't solely the money, he wanted a chance to start.

I was impressed with how well he played against Vince Wilfork. It will be interesting to see how he does against Kris Jenkins.

Well, he used to stonewall Jenkins in practice. If last night was any indicator he will have a very strong year.

Too bad they have a puss for a QB that is afraid to throw to his WR's.

That was more about the Pats' coverage than him "being a puss".

Nah, he could have done the same a Brady and hit 12-20 yard patterns. Trent is known as 'Captain Checkdown' has been his entire career including college. Hell Jim Kelly called him out on in this preseason saying he needed to hold the ball a second or two longer and get the ball down the field. Jaws and Gruden were even ripping on him about not taking chances when he had single coverage. You have TO and Evans singled up, you throw them the ball.

Buffalo won't do anything this year.

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
