Phone died but I'm back..what a game to go to. Defense and special teams continue to be ass but man... Shocked we got that stop. Was not happy we didn't burn more clock before the score.

Baker is a dawg 

Sean Tucker is useless.

Dennis is a statue.

Egbuka is a super star.

 

Helluva game to watch live. GO BUCS 

what a game to go to, live! 

Sit anywhere near the Egbuka’s?

 

I was endzone side when he caught that dime for a TD and that bomb.

Pretty killer seats. That stadium was loud as fuck and Baker just fed off it like a fucking dog 

 

oh, sick seats for that 56 yard Baker to Egbuka BOMB! Glad you got to see it, love that Bake feeds off that stuff!

 

Egbuka's route on that bomb was absolutely sick, got 5 yards of separation on that in/go move, and Baker threw the ball 62 air yards.

Great connection.

A couple thoughts

 

Big game Baker. He carried us to that victory yesterday, he did not have a single WTF throw moment he usually has once or twice a game. Probably his best game as a pro that I ever seen him play. Grizz was excellent, there were new wrinkles and play calls I haven't seen all year that worked like a charm. Run wise/pass wise the play calls were awesome, I thought for sure we'd get stopped on that 3rd down run but White was able to get outside and seal it. He isn't Coen level creative with the run but this isn't the boring Leftwich run scheme that was super ineffective. On that White toss run, Wirfs ability to block two defenders on that TD run was just *chefs kiss*. I don't think people understand how good Wirfs is and how much of a weapon he is as a blocker.

 

Special teams almost lost us this game though. Another week they continue to F up and I don't see any improvement yet. Chase is bailing the unit out with his clutch kicks.

 

Braswell is not good. Guy was getting mauled/targeted all game when they seen him check in. His run defense was a joke. I'm very concerned about our rush defense with Niners/Lions back to back weeks. Those cut back lanes were there all day.

Braswell should be gone or convert him to backup WILL and play special teams. He's not an edge.

Sean Tucker is not explosive and doesn't break tackles. He's solid with a head of steam straight ahead but so is White so he's kinda useless. Don't tell JC (he must have went insane and is committed, haven't seen that coward in awhile).

Special teams is a joke. Just kick it out of the back of the end zone at this rate. Fuck

There were plenty of folks on this forum that saw Braswell being a problem. He is. Dude plays slow as hell and makes very little impact when on the field. It was yet another poor Edge draft pick. They really need to reevaluate how they select these guys. Licht has had 12 drafts now.  His best Edge selection is Anthony Nelson in R4 of the 2019 draft. That ain't good...

yeah it kind of stands out and if Braswell is not good in rush defense then hes not really offering anything

 

Do you or anyone else have any thought on Vea?  Normally stellar but goose eggs on the stat sheet yesterday i think and not coincidentally the rush defense was 40 yards worse, give or take?

but seahawks were awful.

The Bucs are definitely an imperfect team, BUT the Seahawks were playing at home with a defense that was averaging only 20 ppg and multiple takeaways. We easily won the turnover battle (even with turnover negated by a bogus penalty) and put up 38 on them . .  with half an O-line, a back up RB and basically one rookie receiver.

Its winning games like that AND IN THAT WAY that would have me put the Bucs up against almost anyone.

 

Spot on!

it is really great we won, but seahawks were awful. we gave the game away and they gave it back! we've got no chance vs. teams that with decent offense+defense. baker can't put 35 onto the board every sunday 

our games are fun, especially while we are wining most of them, but it really really sucks watching tod bowles crap over and over again. we could have easily been 0-5 or 1-4.

 

I really do not know what to expect from the rest of the season!!!

 

We've let teams back in it mostly from poor special teams. Bowles defense isn't perfect and can get points dumped on them but at same time I think they're not as bad we many think. Pass rush defense could improve for sure. I think that and special teams is the biggest one to improve imo. A lot of good returns and those set teams up to get back into it. I think the team offense is good enough to go head to head with anyone. We just need the other two facets of the game to play well enough to win.

Why we hating on Tez? Wtf 

Either way I'll be driving up to Seattle for the game so hopefully Tez plays well in the PNW per his college career 

He played excellent. Love it

Haven't seen any tape or grades but did watch him get doubled effectively the whole game. 

Why wouldn't you? The edge rushers are doing nothing

I think he got a good PFF grade but yes it makes sense if the edge isnt getting it done.  Maybe that was it.

Bowles got jokes:

 

"“We were so happy he caught it. He’s not as bad as [Jamel] Dean, but we were so happy he caught it because he dropped a few in practice,” Bowles said of David’s pick. “But he steps up and makes plays for us all the time.”

Bucs defense needs room to operate to slow down offense.  ST yielding short fields was a problem last year as well.

Tell me LVD is done now.

WOW! Great WIN BABY!

Look forward to seeing his Canton induction in person. 

 

Made me wonder, if you’re going to Canton, what state do you call home?

Yeah its crazy bro. And its not like we aren't in position to draft a stud, they just continue to pick the wrong player. Drafting for need has continued to burn us years later...White, Hall, Braswell, Joe Tryon, Kyle Trask, Keyshawn Vaughn.........

We've gotten lucky that these past couple drafts that our picks have hit a need but were also great value on the board at the time of the selection.

My thoughts were SEA were very methodical about their rush attack. It seemed like most of their runs came off zone/outside type runs that kind of takes Vea out the play when you can get him to move laterally. He wasn't dominant but to me it seemed like it was more of a scheme that caused him to not cause havoc.
