Big time players show up in big time games

Burns isn’t a big time player

You are expecting too much from an edge rusher against the Bucs and Brady. 21 sacks all year with very few from the edge. Best way to disrupt Brady is to make him move into the outside rush with pressure up the middle.

At least he suited up. Horn missed the game per usual and we got smoked through the air.

He never has been. He’s a stats guy not a guy that wins games for you. Reddick had way ore big time plays last year.

Not trading him for, allegedly, multiple firsts was a huge mistake.

He is a fun, young, exciting player who doesn't impact games in the way that elite players do. Comparing what he did this week to what the last legs of JJ Watt did last week is very telling.

DJ Moore is a big-time player then

I agree. Even without sacks, pressure alone would have made a difference. Have to get consistent pressure on those Brady, Brees, Matt Ryan type guys.

Man this place is absolutely miserable sometimes. Yeah, its all Burns fault. We should have had him covering Evans down field all game. Sigh...

Our whole line is too small so they get bullied. Burns is just one piece of that puzzle.

He is a one trick pony that doesnt command double teams and his one trick isnt even that good

Let's not forget their oline is absolute poo. Sounds like the dline partied last night. Looked like it too

Brady had all day to throw on those bombs. Why? Because we didn't get any pressure on him.

Isn’t the bucs offensive line supposed to suck because of injuries? This has always been the knock on Burns, he’s a one trick pony, undersized DE who isn’t good against the run. The fact people can say that he’s worth keeping over 2 first round picks is insane. Once he gets his contract he’s going to be taking up a lot of cap space.
