[Hot Sauce Guy]

Suspended one game per Adam Schefter tweet:

Lucky it wasn’t longer since he’s been ejected for this exact same thing in the past.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Evans was the gutless one who shoved a guy not looking.

Yes he was. I don’t see anyone defending Evans here.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

For me, I would prefer offsetting penalties with no ejections and certainly no suspensions, but I understand that in today's NFL this type of behavior often results in harsher discipline.

Yeah - the dual ejections was a little extreme.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

I can’t imagine how Evens has been in the league this long, with this much success, and still let a mouthy knucklehead like Lattimore get into his head to the point of getting ejected.

He was having a pretty good game until then. Then Lattimore baited him, he swallowed it hook, line & sinker, and got hisself ejected.

Crazy.

It is crazy. But it's also a combo of: 1) history between these guys, 2) Lattimore covers Evans well and sort of shuts him down, 3) Lattimore is annoying with constant talking and chirping, 4) the refs let Lattimore get away with mauling Evans on the field constantly, 5) refs let these two guys go at it over and over without stepping in. In the NBA, both these guys would have gotten T'd up earlier in the game -- but NFL refs are pansies. They don't do a great job of controlling the game.

Presumably Lattimore is NOT suspended then. If so, that's BS.

Agreed - which is exactly why it should have been off-setting penalties and no ejection/suspension.

The Refs allowed it to escalate to that point.

I’m defending Evans. Talk **** get hit.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Looking at this matchup with these two defenses, I could see a 10-7 game this weekend. Total of 46 seems way high to me, but there's a reason I gave up NFL gambling many years ago.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Is there any appeal process?

 

[Capella]

Is there any appeal process?

Yes he is appealing it.


Hearing the appeal……Derrick Brooks lol

(I expect it to stand)

Like a real life version of "**** around and find out"

 

[cdclopper]

It's the NoFunLeague for sure. Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a big deal? 15 yard penalty would be enough in my opinion.

I mean, they pause the match to let hockey players punch each other in the face.

 

[Sunday Gravy]

Can't think of a duo I'd like to get into it with less than Evans and Fournette.

It's pretty crazy they suspended a guy for a hard shove. I'm with you.

Myles Garrett and any other Browns player.

 

[skinsrule05]

I dont feel like it is enough to warrant a suspension. However, the fact that Latimore didn’t get suspended too is ridiculous. The refs at the game felt they were both at fault and kicked them out.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter​

Sources confirmed the Mike Evans appeal will be heard today. James Thrash is the appeals officer. He is jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA.

Agree. I'll be shocked if he doesn't win the appeal.

 

[Grahamburn]

Repeat offender targeting the same player. Evan’s is suspended because he came from the sidelines to intervene. Stupid act and deserved suspension. Lattimore has owned him and is clearly living rent free upstairs.

Agreed...the fact it is Lattimore and their history will probably carry a ton of weight...fascinated that it is James Thrash hearing this...talk about a name from the past.

 

[Shawnky]

For talking smack? So Brady should be suspended then. 90% of the league should be suspended next week based on that take.

In the eyes of Bucs fans and Brady fanboys. It's impossible to make some people see reality.

The irony is that Evans was having one of his best games against Lattimore prior to the suspension.

Odd way to look at it. Which one do you consider "talking smack", when he shoved fournette or when he tackled Evans in retaliation?

Well, I'm neither and deflecting isn't a great way to get out of admitting that you were wrong.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

As I have posted a few times, Brady played a role in the fight taken place and his star WR being suspended Week 3. You can slice it or dice it however you want but General Thomas Brady saw an opportunity in a 3-3 ball game late to spark the team and ensure victory.
Much like a Baseball Manager sometimes has to get tossed to spark the dugout, same thing IMHO.

I'm not saying Brady should have been suspended but he knew what was happening on the field.

@Moniker and @Shawnky
It can be a little of both here and I hope you all understand the circle(360) argument I like to bring up from time to time. Whether you are at the top of the circle or the bottom of the circle, it's equal distance into the middle so there's room for both POV here I believe.

But I don't think Brady was without fault, he wasn't calming things down IMHO.

Im all for Brady being perceived as playing 3D chess, but thats not what happened here. He was pissed, Lattimore was taunting him and he took the bait. Naturally his team came to his side at that point. There's probably a near zero chance he thought anything out like you are portraying.

I wasn't defending anyone. I think Evans should be suspended and Lattimore and Fournette shouldn't. I was only calling out the all Lattimore did was 'talk smack' comment. He pushed Founette in the face. That's a bit more than 'talking smack'.

At this point you're either blind or trolling. Lattimore pushed Fournette in the face. That isn't talking smack.

I hate Tom Brady and not a Bucs fan. Lattimore threw a punch at Fournette and pushed Tom Brady. I'm not sure what game you were watching.

This isn't true though. This was after an offensive play and were "walking off" the field.

Hi CJ, I think what you posted is close to what I described.

The NFL upheld Mike Evans’ one-game suspension for hitting Saints’ CB Marshon Lattimore. Evans is now officially out for Sunday’s game vs. the Green Bay Packers.

BREAKING NEWS: Mike Evans receives LIFETIME BAN.

 

[Faust]

Mike Evans caught 8-of-10 targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Tampa Bay's Week 4 loss to Kansas City.​

One of the incompletions was essentially a Hail Mary. With two more end zone targets - one wiped out by an unnecessary roughness penalty - it could have been even better for Evans. As it is, Evans dunked on Jamel Dean on a fade and took a big hit over the middle in a zone post for his first score. Chris Godwin's target hogging clouds the picture as long as he is healthy, but Evans remains the easy layup for Tampa in the red zone and should easily remain on the WR1/WR2 borderline.
Oct 2, 2022, 11:33 PM ET

 

[The Frankman]

Mike Evans caught 4-of-4 targets for 42 yards in the Bucs' Week 6 loss to the Steelers.​

It was a disappointing day against a banged up Steelers secondary, especially since Tom Brady attempted 40 passes. The Bucs bafflingly passed on taking shots down the field. Evans has exceeded four catches only two times all year and reached 100 yards just once. He does have three scores in five games. Evans will be on the road against the Panthers in Week 7.

[The Frankman]

Mike Evans caught 9-of-15 targets for 96 yards in Tampa's Week 7 loss to Carolina.​

Evans was wide open for a score on Tampa's first drive, but ham-handed the ball off his knee in a way that accurately portended how the rest of this game would look for Tampa. Another would-be 30-yard gain was just slightly thrown over his hands. Evans did seem to be working open essentially any time Tampa tried to go downfield, but it was an unfortunate -- albeit still fantasy-useful -- outcome on the whole. He also dealt with dings to his elbow and ankle that didn't seem to cost him many real snaps. Evans will remain a WR1 on Thursday night against the Ravens.
- NBCSportsEDGE

 

[Kevrunner]

Can’t believe he dropped that long TD pass to open the game.

 

[Faust]

Mike Evans (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Ravens.​

Evans was listed as a DNP on Monday, but he returned to limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday before being left off the final injury report. He did not look 100 percent last week, but Evans played through his ankle and elbow injuries to record a 9-96 line. He is a must-start this week.
Oct 26, 2022, 8:05 PM ET

 

[Faust]

Mike Evans caught 6-of-11 targets for 123 yards in the Bucs' Week 8 loss to the Ravens.​

Fueled by a season-long 51-yard reception in the fourth quarter, Evans' 123 yards were his most of the year. That is where the good news stops, as Evans and Tom Brady continued to struggle to get on the same page. Brady missed Evans more than once in the red zone, and the duo could be scene debating, if not necessarily arguing, several times. Evans' huge gain came as he won in close quarters against Marlon Humphrey. Now up to 26 targets over his past two games, Evans is doing his best to step up for this in-crisis offense, but the Bucs have been truly horrendous in the red zone, leading to just three Evans scores. Jalen Ramsey's Rams secondary awaits for Week 9.
Oct 27, 2022, 11:43 PM ET

 

[Faust]

Mike Evans caught 5-of-6 targets for 54 yards in the Bucs' Week 10 win over the Seahawks.​

The Bucs got their ground game going versus Seattle, running 44 times for 161 yards. As a result, there wasn't much passing production to go around. Missing out on both of Tom Brady's touchdowns doomed Evans to a mediocre fantasy outing. Evans has held a massive role in the Tampa passing game this year, so one down performance will be counted as an anomaly. He will look to rebound coming out of the team's Week 11 bye.
Nov 13, 2022, 2:29 PM ET

 

[Faust]

Mike Evans caught all four targets for 59 yards in the Buccaneers' Week 13 win over the Saints.​

Evans has had to contend with multiple injuries and ineffective offensive line play over the previous month of play, keeping his box score production suppressed. While his health is likely to continue to improve, the poor pass blocking exhibited by the Buccaneers front is likely to continue to inhibit Evans' fantasy success moving forward.

[Drake Hater]

Hard for Brady to even look his way. Godwin is piling up yardage in the meantime. Probably won't see much against SF either.

 

[kface]

I traded for him and etienne...what a disaster

 

[Sunday Gravy]

Brady didn't look his way once on that final drive. Very frustrating.

 

[Pietaster2]

Brady didn't look his way once on that final drive. Very frustrating.

It cost me my critical matchup that I lost by 2 points. I would have gotten a bye if he got even one catch, but nope, Brady didn’t even look his way.

I will never forget that drive letting me down…
