Let's see our prized offseason defensive pickup Anzalon

Anzalone was a "prized offseason defensive pickup?"

lol

I didn't have us winning this game but it was a winnable game. Mistakes on offense cost the team today. Oline is definitely a weakness again. I kind of expected our defense to get beat by their offense with burrow back but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's pretty much what I thought tho this team will be pretty mediocre again but the division is weak again too. Oline needs to be a focus for the front office now.

For me, the loss was expected. However, the way they lost is the troubling thing to me. Turnovers galore and all on Baker. The Bucs needed to control the ToP and the way to do that was to run the ball. Once the turnovers started happening, this game was lost. The defense has to play better in spite of the grinning idiot calling the plays. Let's see how they look against an inferior team next week.

Bowles D kept the team in the game and you idiots are actually trying to blame him

NFL is amazing year to year uncertainty. Bengals have a defense, Saints on verge of beating Lions in Detroit

If I told you 4 hours ago the Bengals offense scores 26 and Trotter gets a pick 6 we all would have said we’re winning. 

And that 26 includes the 10 points from drives starting at the 33 and 50

Neither side played good. Offense hurt themselves all game. Defense was hardly on the field in the first quarter. The oline can’t pass block and the dline can’t pressure the quarterback. I said it in my write up on Friday that it would come down to that. All and all, we’re not a good team, and that includes both sides of the ball.

If you don’t think the defense played well today you’re just anti Bowles for the sake of being anti Bowles

Other than maybe being premature, its hard to argue with any of that.  They are a not a good team until they prove differently, but in this one game its really just the turnovers so its bit of a mixed bag or at least a bit uncertain about what the Bucs have this season

It's not 4 hours ago. Nice try.

a few positives

Irving ran for 5.6 YPC and added another 40+ receiving.

Mayfield was actually 23 for 28, so the passing offense works for him

Egbuka caught almost everything thrown to him

Hurst showed up at the end (look forward to seeing him next week)

ST coverage was good, actually very good.

Trotter had 11 tackles, a sack and a pick 6

 

There's probably more, but off the top of head.

Saints going for 2, and the win, in Overtime. 

Kellen Moore coaching not to lose. Playing for the win.

Saints couldn't convert. 

But, playing on the road and taking the Lions to the end of OT. 

Shough looked outstanding after a tough start. 

 

 

 

Yeah, for those who thought this division was going to be a cakewalk are in for a rude awakening. 

As you saw last season, Todd's not going to get the benefit of sleepwalking his way through non-competitive division.
