Judging by the preseason

I wouldn't say the offense looked great weak 1.

You have to realize the outcomes of the game could of been different if the starters played all 4 quarters. I really feel secure starters don't even try in preseason, nobody wants to get hurt.

Which is why the defense needs to be stellar and you have to agree they were less than against Philly.

You can't judge a defense or offense in preseason. Like it said none of the people locked for a roster spot even try. Nobody wants to get hurt, it's like the probowl. Most people consider Philly to have a top ten offense. Giving up 14 points to a top 10 offense isn't bad.

I don't agree with the "Nobody tries during preseason" notion. Everybody tries. Everybody is doing their level best to do what the coaches want them to do. Even the entrenched starters.

We have done nothing but run basic plays with an eye towards evaluation. Seeing how the players react to situations. Who can or cannot hold their own. Who can keep their lane. Who knows what to do in certain situations.

If you want a team that is going to pull out all the stops in a preseason game. A Ron Rivera coached team is not going to be your cup of tea.

I seriously doubt most starters put much into preseason games. How could they? I would assume these games are hated by the regulars.

Hated or not. Do you really think Rivera would let anyone half azz it? Plus, half azzing it is the surest way to get hurt.

Kraken pinched down, and did not hold his edge on Kolb's TD run. You don't think that wasn't brought up during film? Everyone gets critiqued. Not just the kids. Everyone. It is a teaching tool. And this staff is chocked full of teachers.

I know it is a popular belief that established players half azz preseason. It just is not true. At least not on a Ron Rivera coached team it isn't.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
