We're almost 72 hours removed from Sunday and the fans are STILL Chirping back and forth at one another. Fans and players alike have a difficult time moving on from a game like the one we saw on Sunday as it is, but when you're talking about having not even a full 4 days to prepare to play another game, I would argue its not fair. Its no secret that the Thursday night games have always been somewhat subpar, but its all about the money. I fully expect a terribly played football game Thursday night, and the team that makes the fewest mistakes will win, simple as that.

i'd be surprised if any players are still thinking about sunday unless it's because of some question asked by a reporter.

 

it think it's pretty much just fans and reporters still talking about it and maybe butthurt rams players.

 

i can't imagine that the team itself wouldn't be solely focused on the bucs this week. division rival (that swept us last year) on prime time and it's an away game. yeah, that's where they are looking. they can't afford to not be.

 

it's easier for them, tho, because every day this week is about getting ready, from meetings to practice. i don't know if they were even able to take a day off this week.

 

for us it's just a lot of waiting.

 

for myself, i'm looking ahead. rams are history.

How many times have we seen teams, after an emotional win one week, come out flat the next week?

the rams was an emotional game?

Not for our guys.

The rams? Yeah. And our guys played the rams emotions against them.

Wasn't even an emotional game for panther fans.

First half was boring and ugly.

Wasn't until the second half when there was entertainment, in the form of the Panthers taunting the rams into stupid errors every snap.

On the flipside, we're atleast playing against a terrible team who has a short week to prepare for us too.  We also get 3 extra days to rest up and prepare for a more difficult opponent (barely).  This one works out in our favor.

 

Was fixing to post ths very thing. 

 

If we get a W in tampa, the players essentially get a mini bye week to get ready for Atlanta (who has to travel to Zona and get roughed around by that Cardinal defense).

Nasty stuff goes on in every game. Maybe things don't escalate as visibly as they did against the Rams, but it's not like stuff isn't said and opponents don't get into it every week.

 

I'd be shocked if the team is doing anything other than giving the Bucs all their attention. They already beat the Rams, so the Rams are history. They know what's at stake in the near future. With all they have to do to prepare for any given game, I don't think they'll be thinking too much about how Quinn was the biggest SOB they ever saw or anything like that.

I don't think there is any player or coach in the NFL that wants to play on Thursday night.

 

It's just a reality right now that each team has to deal with.

 

I do remember seeing a player quoted somewhere (maybe on the Huddle) about players' bodies not really feeling right until Friday or Saturday. Players are always hurt in some way later in the season, but that's especially true on Thursday. Players hate playing on Thursday, and I'm sure coaches hate getting less prep time for games. But if we're going to have to play on Thursday, give us a winless team.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
