Baker is in a sling…. The division is a 2 horse race!

Honestly, I view the rest of this season like every game is a division game - meaning you can throw the records out.  Throw the perceived favorites out.  Every week, we have to show up and punch them in their mouth.  We’re gonna have to gut it out.  We can’t go into games against well coached teams and think, “well, the Rams already got that one, McVay is just too good of a coach and they’re too talented.”  “Can’t beat the Niners.  Shanahan is one of the best and they just play everyone so tough, even with injuries.”  We have to go into each game feeling like everyone counted us out and we have to show them why they’re wrong.  And speaking of the Niners - that’s the exact blueprint we need to be looking at - for the last, it seems like at least 5 years, they have been decimated with injuries.  And they still contend to win their division and make a run in the playoffs every year.  Even while starting a plethora of QBs.  Even with their best defensive players being out for the bulk of seasons…  their DNA doesn’t change.  They compete.  Their standard is winning and nothing less, so even if you’re the 3rd stringer forced into action, either show up and play to that level or find another team.  This should be our approach and I think the Saints game was an important wake up call…

I occasionally listen to whatever ESPN show is on sports radio in the mornings with Chris Camry and I believe it was after we beat the Packers, they asked him about us and he said, “they’re a young team learning how to win.”  And that is about as accurate or a description as you can get.  It explains the hiccups and the struggles.  But it also explains why it looks so good when we put it all together.  What we need now is our guys to have that light bulb come on as a collective and never look back.  I hope last week was the start of that and it continues tonight and for the rest of the season..

All we really have to do is beat either the 49ers, Rams or Seahawks ( 1 of them) and beat the Bucs twice and the Saints.

I really can't see us beating the Rams and Seahawks.  Anything can happen, but those are really bad match-ups for us.

We need to win today

I can see us beating the seahawks. We know Sams tendencies a bit. 49ers and Rams I think would be the most difficult imo.  Seahawks game is also at home so I think the Seahawks game is the most winnable out of the 3.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles told reporters that Baker Mayfield sprained his left shoulder and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
 


 

I like Baker and not rooting for his injury, but if we can sneak 1 win against the Rams / 49ers / Seahawks then it’s a straight up dog fight for the division

      Surely, since Young is the qb he is, a 3 year NFL starter, a qb with exceptional command of a playoff team, and many of us are just too stupid and blind to recognize, he will have no trouble mopping the floor with anyone from this list of has-beens and never-weres.

      After two seasons, I definitely have strong opinions of his playcalling and even stronger ones on his game coaching abilities.  Isolating AT as logic for BY success doesn't make any sense. Look at his body of work, his ratings in intermediate and deep, his bad throw percentages or FOR fuging SURE his terrible footwork. As I have continued to stress, he is an arm throwing, scrambling QB with significantly below average arm strength and underwhelming athletic ability for a modern QB. The "clutch" stuff is a lot of wishful thinking for a guy with a very low career winning percentage. I have never heard clutch attached to a QB that has the kind of winning percentage that he does. It doesn't logically make sense. I understand you are keeping your hope alive but most of us can see what I think you will eventually come to realize, he just isn't an NFL caliber QB.  Sunk cost fallacy is holding onto assets in the hope of recovering a return, rather than taking your losses and reinvesting them into something that may pay off. This is the exact opposite of sunk cost fallacy by keeping a failed asset. He has to be one of the football dumbest players we have ever had in the history of this franchise. Easily the most football dumb 1st round draft pick. Yeah well he seems to fug that up pretty often too. Further back into the stands, I would say.
