Has this been more Alim McNeill coming back? Or missing Olinemen?

It’s easy when you can pin your ears back, but Baker has been pushing all night.

Not having an healthy offensive line definitely seems worse than not having a healthy secondary.

Yeah, especially when you’re down 2 pro bowl wr’s. But the pressure on Baker has been great. Troy has been glazing Hutch, with good reason, but I wonder if getting McNeill freed him up even more to wreak havoc.

Also TB was very 1 dimensional tonight. They abandoned the run, way too quickly

Yeah, kinda out of necessity. White looked pretty ineffective.

Maybe, but 50-12 pass/run in a game that was never more than 2 scores is bad playcalling. 3.8 YPC isn't great, but its not like it was awful.

Sorta backs my theory about Bucky Irving. When he's back, he's right back to 70% or more of the workload. They just value him so much more.

50-12 is absolutely insane. Had no idea it was that lopsided

Maybe the Bucs thought a bunch of parking lot attendants playing DB was the way to attack.

They were wrong but White and his 2.6 YPC or whatever he gets normally w a solid o line, they thought this was the only way.

Hindsight 20/20 and all.

But still that ratio, woof

Compared to hyper-efficient Baker in the passing game?

You make a good point

I think nothing was really working for TB tonight. Shep seemed to have learned his lesson from last week and just called the game he wanted to call, backups or no backups

The Hock/Kelce comparison was laughable

It's not exactly the same thing since Otton made a "football move" before the ground knocked the ball out....and he was already down but it's similarish in that Hock made a diving catch and when the football hit the ground NY claimed that was a lack of control.

I'm also salty AF

The hock play had to stand as called, whichever way it went,

Seems strange to say but after just 6 weeks the 4-1-1 Packers are now the 1 seed in the NFC.

Seems strange to say but after just 6 weeks the 4-1-1 Packers are now the 1 seed in the NFC.

And the 6-1 Colts are the #1 seed in the AFC. It's early but that would be 2 of the smalllest market NFL teams in a SB in a while.

Forward down the field,
A charging team that will not yield.
And when the Blue and Silver wave,
Stand and cheer the brave.
Rah, Rah, Rah.
Go hard, win the game.
With honor you will keep your fame.
Down the field and gain,
A Lion victory!

Could Evans have hurt his collarbone on whatever side the shoulder is hurt?
Just asking

I asked about this in the moment last night
Sad that Evans is lost for the season, broken collarbone, he knew it last night when it happened

I don't know that it would be a season ender. Isn't that like a 6 week recovery?

Definitely not a doctor, but It sounds like this was a particularly bad break and he needs surgery, so maybe that's the reason?

I feel like when I see QBs diagnosed with this, they typically are gone for the season.
I'm a Bucs fan, I'm rooting for Mikey but I'm just being realistic, we are in Week 8 and the FF season is set to end in about 4-6 weeks for some, maybe extends a couple weeks beyond for others
Could Evans return in January for perhaps a Playoffs appearance for the Bucs? 10-12 weeks? If he needs surgery, hard to think of him playing again even in the Playoffs

I don't have him on any teams, and if I did I might wait 24 hours or so to hear the exact diagnosis. But yeah, if it's what they're reporting he's absolutely droppable in redraft, especially if you have to put in waiver claims tonight and need the spot
