He won’t be on the team next year.

Who else gave him so much time to throw? We had a pathetic pass rush today outside of a few sacks. 

He did have a lot of time some plays.  But we also had 3 sacks on him.  Most teams don't get that on Brady.  The difference is having CBs who can't fuging cover.  Evans didn't even make a fuging move, he ran straight through them.  Those plays didn't require time.  They required corners who weren't complete ass.

They said CJ had contemplated retirement before coming here.  I really hope he considers it again effective immediately.  He is complete fuging ass.

Fitterer made another fantastic trade in acquiring him for a meaningless draft pick. 

He brought in CJ who should not be covering a 1 and drafted Horn who can’t suite up half his pro career. Stop letting him pick corners.

We need pass rush help, burns can not do it on his own and Brown is more of a run stuffer.

Hendo as a 4th or maybe a 3rd ain't bad. But as the main guy woof. And like his best bud RE, wilks wouldn't help out with safeties on Evans and guess what, 200+ yards, 10 rec, 3 tds. Fug off wilks.

Yeah like, I'm not saying C.J. is good but 

1 - He should not be on an island vs Mike Evans (nor Keith Taylor) 

2 - We have no pass rush that isn't started by BB or a blitz. 

We got hit with the injury bug. Happens. Look at teams liek Ravens, 49ers and Chargers in the past.

Yes Henderson is trash but lets not forget Mike Evans is a top 10 receiver in this league

He’s been nonexistent all year until he saw Henderson.

Horn covered up a lot of our deficiencies 

[Waldo]

I thought Taylor looked worse. A lot worse.

Almost anyone playing CB would look like that when left on island with Tom Brady getting so much time to throw.

I appreciate your support for our guy, you're a good fan. But... CJ is decent backup at best. He's been a liability all year, and his entire career. I don't even hate the trade, it was a Gamble on a former first rounder. But he hasn't shown me anything that makes me think he should be a starter in the NFL.

Gotta feel for Wilks. He was brought in partly because they felt he could get the best out of him like he did with Norman and instead he might have just lost his chance to be the coach because he put too much faith in him today

And we drafted another corner in the first who doesn’t play. 

This take is getting tiresome. Horn is elite. This last injury was basically unavoidable. Horn will be fine.

I’d hesitate to blame any of this on defensive backs. We were in cover 3 a whole lot, the exact opposite of what you want to do against Brady and the opposite of what Arizona did the week before. 
 

Why that passing concept worked repeatedly and why it isn’t the corner’s fault for giving it up: playing soft cover 3 leaves the flat wide open and the buccaneers took advantage often with the slot or TE doing quick outs. Doing so left that outside corner as the primary tackler for many of these plays. If you watch it back, you’ll notice them setting up the deep shot by repeatedly throwing under Evans, using the fade as the clear out. Our refusal to adjust to this left our corners in a constant dilemma. If he hesitates for a second, he gets beat over the top by an all pro WR and the greatest quarterback ever. If he stays with the receiver, the receiver in the flats has a huge gain after the catch. 
 

It was just horrible game planning with even worse adjustments. It was embarrassing.
