For the haters

Good for Baker.  Doesn't mean much to me though.

We need an intelligent adult in the ownership. And an adult in the room to replace depodesta.

But I think it goes deeper than that.

It's the Haslam Family & Friends Show.  That's what Stef & Berry have to contend with.

I guess, but the frustrated part of me believes the haslams etc hired stepanski because he would be a good sheep.

I have a feeling that this will be another catastrophic season with only 2-4 wins, and Stefanski will be canned at season’s end.

However, the real problem lies in the FO, but Haslam is too stupid to realize it.

Stefanski will be the sacrificial lamb…or an escape goat whichever you prefer.

"Let it go" - Rambo?

Yeah, the object should have been to ROOT for Baker instead of Josh Allen when Baker was a Cleveland Brown.  Looks like Rambo needed to stop taking his Prevagen to root for Baker.  I don't have the heart to tell the guy Tampa Bay isn't a suburb of Cleveland...

Bill Parcells said it best.  "If you want me to cook the meal - you should at least let me buy the groceries."

"

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing former Florida Gators 400+ pound defensive tackle Desmond Watson to their practice squad, a source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

Watson had worked out for the Bucs last week and the team was encouraged by what they saw in terms of his physical progress. Coach Todd Bowles emphasized that Watson wasn't being brought in simply because the team is playing the Philadelphia Eagles, with their noted tush push, this week."

Interesting - should be another great game to watch.

Can the Bucs Run on Philly? | Eagles-Bucs Tale of the Tape

The Buccaneers' rushing attack ranks seventh in the NFL through three games while the Eagles' run defense ranks 25th, but the presence of Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis could still make it difficult to gain yards between the tackles"

If memory serves me right Jordan Davis ran a 4.8 or 4.9 forty at the combines but you might want to fact check me on that.  When he blocked a FG then scooped it up and ran last Sunday vrs the Rams - he took it about 50 yards and pulled further away from all those chasing.

Kudos and credit to the Bucs, and Baker, with being 3-0 considering some of injury challenges they have faced.  

That said, they have need come backs in all three games against teams with a combined 1-8 record.

yep, they will miss Evans in the lineup - but Godwin and Wirfs may be back.

Eagles may be without their top two cb's.

btw, I think the Browns will shut down the run a lot vs Detroit, but

we'll see what else goes on.
