Yes it is. A lot can happen and probably will. But last year we had zero wins against winning/contending teams in the regular season. This year we have one so far. That was a big bridge to cross.Love all the enthusiasm for the Bucs, but man it is a long season. Last year we finished Q1 at 3-1 and . . . .
That was a big bridge to cross.
definitely
great for the team in long run. Maybe a little tough for the team this Sunday, playing as the favorite
Love all this early season hysteria!
The Bucs haven't even gotten to the really meaty part of the schedule yet. They absolutely should go 3-0 after beating the Broncos this Sunday. The next game at home vs the Eagles is a coin toss IMO. Then the road gets a lot tougher. The next six games are far more difficult. I really like that the Bucs are getting some buzz and respect. But it's a long season my friends.
One other thing regarding the Eagles handing that game to the Falcons on a silver platter. Sirianni may not even make it through the season if they keep doing stupid shit like that. Sure, Barkley was open and if he catches that good throw from Hurts, the game is over. I would have run the ball on 3rd and 3 and taken the time off the clock (ATL had no time outs). Then the distance on 4th down determines FG or tush push. Run another play on 4th down and the clock stops with change of possession. Then the Falcons have to go the length of the field with far less time on the clock.
going 80 yards in 1 min with no timeout is very difficult 1 inbound play takes off about 16secoonds
The ball was on the Falcons' 10 yard line on 3rd and 3 with 1:46 to go. Even if two straight running play no gains, the Falcons would have had to go 90 yards with a shade less than 1 minute left. That would have been much more difficult than what they had to end up winning the game with much better field position and more time on the clock. Hell, the Eagles had 34 seconds left after the Falcons took the lead.
Regarding Devin white the eagles pass rush was very underwhelming vs the falcons.
was quite surprised by that.
isnt that Devin whites specialty?
from being our captain and top 5 pick to inactive on a team lacking a pass rush
crazy.
regarding nfc favorites again like others said can’t take too much from two weeks but my early impression is there is no can’t beat/it’s our Super Bowl to lose team. I guess KC til proven otherwise? But they’re down Pacheco awhile & could have and probably should have lost to Cincy.
49ers miss Mcaffrey. Mason stepping up big time. Will cmc come back at 100%?
rams down kupp and puka. Ouch.
cardinals sneaky good team? Ditto saints. & Vikings.
cowboys exposed vs NO. Especially on defense.
do we need to make the Super Bowl for our season to be a success? Nope. Could we win the Super Bowl? Absolutely.
look what we did vs the lions down goedeke awj kancey and vea half the game.
why not us?
isnt that Devin whites specialty
It is...if he's blitzing...and there's literally nobody there to pick it up...and he has a free and clear shot at the QB...and the QB doesn't see him.
As DH points out, albeit in a backhand way, he’s fast. He seems to lack instincts and discipline and now desire. Even more problematic he seems to lack the maturity to realize that much (not all*) of his easily success was system, coach and teammates. Good to have him during the run but also good to have let him go.
*plenty of video of him running through open blitz lanes, but also of him beating the RB or the lineman trying to recover from the stunt
Forgot Klint Kubiak was the Saints OC. They're not a fluke.

It's pretty noteworthy how well their OL is playing in that system, leading to better play from both Carr & Kamara.
So that's the top five contenders all losing to the also-rans in one week.
the NFL
This week we a re the "contender" facing the "also-ran."
It's only two games in
It is. No need for overreactions right now.
And just for fun how's the Devin White comeback tour doing? Well lets see - he was a healthy scratch this week.
It's hilarious to see this guy have to eat his humble pie after he did nothing but act like a little bitch all last year. It's started with his contract negotiations, or lack thereof, to now being buried on the depth chart to the point of not being active on gamedays.
Devin White is inactive yet again.
