We were 1 player away from Winning

[Sam the Cat]

If JC Horn played, we won.

3TDs to Evans killed us ....all three were too easy.

Those two CBs are trash.

Darnold played well, not great, but well.

We had no running game...and man, that Vita Vai destroyed our inside more often than not...How come we don't have a NG like that?

The problem with that is Horn, often, doesn’t play.

Nah - Horn rarely follows the #1 receiver.  Bucs would have made sure Evans was with CJ or Taylor.

I was rooting for Taylor to show something this year after good flashes last season, but it doesn't look bright.

Why didn't Horn play with a wrapped cast? Was it too bad an injury to do that?

Yeah his absence with these injuries is becoming a detriment for where we picked him...first overall defensive player in that draft. As much as I like him and fluky as these injuries are, it's becoming a problem

Probably saw it was Brady and Evans vs our pass rush and decided he needed another week

It’s like having CMC all over again. Elite talent but misses a ton of time which hurts the team.

Eh, QB eyes are bright when he's out there. That's the only bright spot.

Horn with two  broken arms would have done better than Cj or Taylor...as if they were on the take.

You just can’t leave our 3rd and 4th string CB on an island with Evans 3 plus times…

I legit don't get it. Is it a pain tolerance thing? Is it because he's young and doesn't want to risk it? 

[KSpan]

Know who owns Mike Evans? Bradberry. Sure could've used a proven vet these past seasons instead of throwing money down various positional toilets.

Not being close enough to commit pass interference on any of those plays was embarrassing. If you're gonna get your ass beat, at least tackle the dude before the ball gets there so he can't walk in for a TD.
