I’m worried about fitz...those Tampa wr are fast and he was in synch with then when he was playing...almost won yesterday 

They will make plays, but Fitz is a turnover machine.  3.5 INT% this year, 4 picks between Steelers and Bears game prior to his benching.  I’m not worried, not any more than usual anyway.

You think Fitz is a "turnover machine?" Read this:

"Jameis Winston has played 48 games in his NFL career. He’s thrown 50 interceptions and fumbled 21 times. 48 games... 71 turnovers. He is what he is and if you expect it to change at this point.. that’s on you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other intangible to look at, especially in yesterday's game, was the body language and attitude of the Bucs when Fitz entered the game. The Bucs had given up and were soundly beaten until Fitz entered the game. And it still went down to a last second FG.

Not saying the Bucs will win this game, but I certainly, under any circumstance, won't underestimate them.

I'm hoping the team doesn't get high on themselves from the Eagles and Ravens games and sleepwalk into the Bucs game on Sunday.

We have a tendency to play up to the competition and down to it as well. The guys have to take this game seriously Bucs can score in a damn hurry when Fitz is airing out bombs to Jackson and Evans downfield.

Honestly both QB's are turnover machines. I think Winston might be the better of the two if only because of his scramble ability.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
