The blocking concerned me more than Slye did. First one was blocked. Second one was about to be blocked if Slye kicked it straight. XP was his only legit miss. That left side was getting blasted all game. Daryl Williams has no business being around ANYTHING that needs to be blocked. Then you have Calais Campbell tall big ass coming up the middle. I'll be worried if it continues next week, but the Bucs don't have a 6'8 MF coming up the middle to block FGs.

Not really worried. On the kick he missed...would have been blocked if he would have kicked straight. I think since the rush on all the field goals came from the left he had to keep forcing right. I think that messed with him on the PAT.  Another game or two and I'll be concerned.

This. We've stumbled onto two young players that have shown a lot of promise, & we might not even be able to see where they end up, because the crappy pass & ST blocking is going to have them hearing footsteps in their sleep.

Folks, when you have a strong legged kicker, you lose accuracy.  We get the 56 yard FGs, and at times, we will miss the 40 yard kicks.  We don't even need a kickoff team.  He is going to be a career 80-85% kicker.  To do that, you have to miss a few.

A long FG is blockable because you drive the bottom third of the ball.  On a shorter FG, you drive the bottom quarter.  Like the difference between a seven iron and a three iron.   Three irons are lower.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
