Looks like a torn ACL, but we'll see.

Definitely looks like, Martin will get the start against us week 1. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing though as Martin has looked like the stronger back. With the way our D (and Tampa's, lol) has been playing though, I 'm not sure it'll matter.

After suffering a second-quarter left knee injury in Friday night's preseason game against the Titans, LeGarrette Blount reappeared on the Bucs' sideline walking around without ice or a brace on his leg.

Perhaps the injury is not as serious as initially believed. Blount could be seen limping along the sideline, but he'd likely be iced or braced up if the Bucs feared a debilitating knee injury. We should find out more in the coming hours and/or days. Blount played 14 snaps against the Titans, per our count, starting the game but ceding all third-down work and multiple full first-team drives to impressive rookie Doug Martin. Blount finished with 11 yards on eight carries and a dropped pass.

martin looks to be the better back anyways. it wouldn't surprise me to see blount be downgraded to a short yardage/goal line back sooner than later.

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
