Torrey Smith thinks Kyle Allen lights it up today.

He also says Daniel Jones is going to torch Tampa’s secondary. I’m not so sure about that. That’s a pretty damn good secondary.

Who the hell knows. There’s always a few WTF games each week. 

Bucs Secondary is avg nothing special.  

I do expect Jones to carve them. Especially with Engram with Devin White being out

Oh boy

Imagine if this does happen and we wom convincingly 

Then people will be questioning Cam's ability to throw deep, considering he hasnt been able to since Norv has been here.  

Well the same exact thing happened last time Allen started a game that mattered. He showcased the deep pass many times last year against NO.

I don't know if we can say that was a good secondary we faced from TB. Our receivers and TE were making plays and getting open. Accuracy in the passing attack seemed to be the limiting factor for us more than the coverage.

Still, the first couple of games just don't tell the whole story.

Interesting comment on the vertical passing. Almost as if he knew something... 

We all know something haha.

i almost wonder if Grier was drafted to be Allen’s backup eventually, not Cams backup.  Surely the team is aware that his health won’t allow him to continue playing for very long.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
