For those of us who don't think the world is ending after a 6-point loss on the road.

My thoughts:

- Clearly we got beat in the 1st half today. Had we had even a mediocre 1st half we'd have won, IMO. The Bucs simply came out with a gameplan we had no way or preparing for and it took us too long to adjust.

- Our running game is slow to start off every season and we always rebound. No need to panic.

- Cam looked good. 2 INT's, yes, but we were in comeback mode pretty much all game so that's to be expected. Overall, he showed well, especially under heavy pressure.

- Is it time to seriously consider starting Mike Pollak over Geoff Hangartner? Amini looked bad at times, sure, but he's a rookie in his first game. Hangartner is a veteran.

- I saw a lot we can build on from the defense. Josh Norman looked solid in a very tough matchup on Vincent Jackson, even if he gave up a few plays, overall it was a good debut. Martin had 100 yards rushing, but it took like 30 carries. 3rd down needs some work, but overall a fairly big improvement on last year.

- Ron & Dwan looked solid enough for their first game. Once they develop some familiarity with each other we should be solid in the middle.

- Probably the most disappointing thing today was Luke Kuechly's play. I have no doubt he'll rebound, but I expected a lot better from him.

- Brad Nortman looks good. You know, when he's not getting blocked.

- Louis Murphy is a steal for what we gave up for him. He'll be a big-time weapon for us this year.

- Overall, we were obviously taken off guard by the Bucs without having any game tape to gameplan around, particularly on defense early. I feel like we'll be alright in the long run this year. The sky certainly isn't falling. This game reminded me a lot of the 2005 opener, another close loss in an overall good season for us.

Tampa played an error-free game. They looked like they wanted it more, at least in the 1st half.

Can't say I was wild about Chud's playcalling early in the game. Also disappointed the coaches didn't call TO before the punt block. Seems to me we were outcoached overall.

But it's just one game. No call for panic.

Let's be honest, I don't expect us to be serious contenders till next year. It was a rough game. We were embarrassed. We are disappointed. I thought the D looks better, but the loss was on the offense. We really need to have a better run game. If we have THIS much trouble without Stewart in the game, we spent WAY too much money on DWill. Let's see how we do the next couple of weeks before giving up.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
