    PUSSY!

    5,4,3,2,1….

    If me literally embarrassing you enough to make you change your name, hide on the Poliboard and pretend not to be yourself isn't bad enough, the fact that one of your Poliboard buddies had to come over here to save you from the war you started is just the icing on the cake! ?

    Not to interrupt you and Princess -  I think you're right that our Pretty in Pink keyboard Warrior all of a sudden has been PMing a bunch of people because he never stands up to you.  I doubt he's in his 70s - that's more of a extra protective shield when he's online with his tough guy bullshit.  Nobody worth a shit would act like that in their 70s...

     It's the same way with Baker.  It's the same way with Shedeur.   

     Neither QB can lose, in the mind of their cult members,  and you see the parallels.  

    If they win ---> it's their individual greatness. 

    If they lose ----> coaches fault, others players fault, not enough talent around them.  

    Pay close attention to the examples, friends.

    Missed 3rd down conversion.  

    TB2.thumb.jpg.08532658a5ce876a706c8a95fc4439b8.jpg

    Bailing early from a clean pocket.    Look familiar, huh?

    Screenshot2025-10-21120321.png.fd45859ea32bbda3e4ea9b2cada000b2.png

    Coaches tell Baker he missed the earlier 3rd down conversion above.  So let's set a rub route and give him a wide open, easy conversion with YAC just like before.   

    He didn't take this throw and this wasn't a conversion.

    TB6.thumb.jpg.d76db07cbd11059d26f98d49fd3a6226.jpg

    4th down, down two scores.  We're going to setup X follow, it's an in to out read, 1 to 2.   Gotta have it. 

    Does Baker deliver?  Negative.  Does he see it? absolutely.

    TB1.thumb.jpg.bb6796e9804ff9c5903edd94f3276f7d.jpg

    Late 4th down, safety Voids the middle of the field on a post-wheel.  Baker locks into the wheel route and misses a WIDE OPEN post for a TD.

    TB4.thumb.jpg.67512e37d7e6af31b25baae31bbe7a73.jpg

    Coaches tell him "Baker, you missed it. They're playing middle field open, throw the damn post" and they go right back to a similar concept.  

    Instead of stepping into the throw and just taking the contact, he fades back and gator arms this into a safety coming late out of the low hole....

    TB3.thumb.jpg.6a6f270e85acd818884379468729d221.jpg

    That's a 27 yard throw he short armed still.   He was late and it was underthrown, the TD was there.  

    At worst the outlet option on 2nd and 8 was there.

    Things I had said previously to remember.   

    @tiamat63 said:

     Baker was leading the entire NFL in turnover worthy throws before playing Philly.   But that's Baker in a nutshell.  He'll rip it and you'll live with the consequences, be it good or bad.   Sometimes it's great, other times he digs an early hole and fights to get out, or makes the hole even deeper. 

    @tiamat63 said:

     NOBODY on this board hates Baker. Saying dumb shit like this has always been a pathetic attempt to dismiss legitimate criticism of his play

    @tiamat63 said:

      Just like anyone or anything else. Your favorite football player? He does no wrong.   Your favorite politician?  Sinless.    Your favorite musician? The best to ever do it.  The first rule of any cult is to believe that anyone and everyone else is lying to you when reasonable question and critique is brought up re: the cult diety.   

         At least Axe has the modest reason to be able to come back and go "yeah, we played like shit".  I have to give him that respect.  No excuses, no whataboutisms.    

     Culty Cal will swamp this board with Facebook links from FootballFucks.org, things from the most obscure parts of the internet, in anyway to make sure he doesn't have to admit that Baker can do no wrong and that it was everyone else who failed his deity.   Another example of manic behavior.  

    No Steve trolling, doubt you'll see him this week.

     Remember, had the Baker Bros not started this thread, there would be no responses to it.  There would be nobody else that would have created a thread to a QB who hasn't been with CLE for 3.5 seasons just to trash him. Hasn't been so far, to my knowledge.    What you're seeing here isn't "hate"... it's annoyed fatigue.

    edit: And for those who think this is "cherry picking"

    3 missed 3rd downs would be almost 20% of the 3rd down attempts.   

    2 of the 5 4th downs is 40%.  

    Both of those are statistically relevant and impactful when measured in percentages.

    Well today by pure luck we walked into Bath Abbey and watched a free concert this woman keyboarding 4 sets of hand keyboards and two sets of footboards on the very deep and resonant organ. It was like watching Van Cliburn on piano, but a lot more intricate. Sliding back and forth to reach all the base footboards while fingers were up and down all the aboveboards was truly wonderful. Absolutely speelbinding and nothing to hate at all. So gifted.

    You really want to witness an amazing Pianist.. Checkout Yuja Wang... Her point/counterpoint melody skills are off the charts.. Her interpretations of Rachmaninoff are completely stunning... Shes not only technically gifted.. She is very dynamic with emotion... It's amazing to watch and take in...

  • oh, boo hoo, boy who is afraid to play fantasy football, and won't talk about being, or not being, a "very tight end" in an lgbqlomnp college, and only bitches about Baker's bad game, after the whole offense imploded. Bitchers/haters gonna bitch and hate. Have a nice day somewhere you won't be disagreed with Tiam. Evans was the only hope, and he ended up with a broken collarbone.

    Man up, Shirley Tiam, the bucs have the same win loss record as the Lions, it was just a bad matchup this game for the Bucs.

    The Bucs lead their division, the Lions don't.

    Pretty sissified to only bitch at length about Baker this one game, and play stupid all the other great games. Need to grow up, Shirley Tiam.

    If trying to change direction while being blocked, and seeing the offensive player moving from the spot is "sticking out his leg", sure....  You might want to watch in real speed rather than slow down, which is intentionally done in an effort to fit a narrative.

    Again, why FB is only a source for nonsense.  The only thing FB should be used as reference of information for is what your 3rd cousin twice removed is up to.

    Looks like a whole lotta bitching and hating by you. ?  Speaking of Fantasy football - have you told our audience that you needed to use Yahoo Auto Draft for both of your Fantasy Football Teams you bragged about last year?  Tia understands the game; while you paraphrase media columnists that type what you want/need to hear.  He played the game before getting paid to coach it and summarize film. He's not here to cause trouble like you want to do. He can also disagree like an adult.   With you and Gorka trolling as often as you can - are you inviting me and others to start trolling the Poli Board?   We haven't been doing that at all; but if you're inviting us to do this - I'm pretty sure you'll have Steve on double-secret speed dial again in no time.  Once a Tattle Cal always a Tattle Cal. 

    Back to your nonsense, here's the crappiest division in the NFC that only has 1 team with enough talent to compete for 1st place - and they aren't exactly running away with it just yet. If you pay particular attention to the points for (PF) and points against (PA) the Bucs have been outscored.  The 2nd place team also has less PF than PA as does the 3rd and 4th placed team.  While the AFC North hasn't looked much better, if any; some teams are about to get key players back from injury to change this with 10 games left...

  • well, I guess we will never know if it's true that Shirley Tiam was a "real tight end" at an lgbqlox college, he/she won't say. This article is one that explains the debacle of the Bucs' game, without Tiam's prissy, arrogant, cherry picked hate-mongering stupid crap.

    However, moving on:

    I simply said:

    "Well, Detroit has lost two games too, but I don't know how the hell they lost any. They dominated the Bucs, destroyed the Bucs run and pass game, Baker didn't have wr's get open until he nearly got hammered or did get hammered.... Injuries took their toll on the Bucs to be able to play much at all against the Lions. Baker just got his butt kicked most of the game,"

    https://www.si.com/nfl/buccaneers/news/the-good-bad-and-ugly-from-buccaneers-24-9-loss-to-lions

    "Give the Detroit Lions their due — they came into this matchup with the Bucs with guys coming off the street into the secondary. The defensive game plan Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard put together was so good that it didn't matter who was out there, as Tampa Bay’s offense was stagnant most of the night and failed to gain any consistent momentum. An unestablished run game, pass protection issues and an off night by Baker Mayfield all help lead to an inept offensive performance. "

    "Pass Protection 

    Baker Mayfield had a tough game himself, but he had no time in the pocket to let routes develop against a banged-up Detroit secondary.

    The Lions were down to backups and guys they signed off the street, yet the Bucs weren’t able to get sustained protection to let plays open up. Charlie Heck was abused most of the night and let up two sacks, including the strip sack. Alim McNeil made his return felt along the interior early, getting the best of Graham Barton as the Bucs' interior was buffeted all night long. No one was spared though, as even Tristan Wirfs was beat on an impressive spin move by Aidan Hutchinson. The Bucs tried to get things going in the screen game but had little success. "

    "Baker Mayfield 

    Mayfield was off on Monday night, and as I alluded to, the pass protection wasn’t exactly ideal to work with. The Lions had an excellent defensive game plan, mixing looks of zone and man coverage disguises to keep Mayfield guessing, and for the most part, it worked. Mayfield was under constant duress, and that led to him making some tough throws off platform, but he overthrew Egbuka and underthrew him on several throws. 

    He sailed a ball too high on one play and missed a wide-open Tez Johnson in the endzone on another. He had a tough interception right before halftime. His pass to Otton was late and behind him and was wrestled away by Arthur Maulett. Then, in the fourth quarter trying to put together a comeback, he had the ball punched out and the Bucs were lucky to recover.

    He finished the day going 28 of 50 for 228 yards, a touchdown, an interception and a fumble."

    Give the Detroit Lions their due — they came into this matchup with the Bucs with guys coming off the street into the secondary. The defensive game plan Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard put together was so good that it didn't matter who was out there, as Tampa Bay’s offense was stagnant most of the night and failed to gain any consistent momentum. An unestablished run game, pass protection issues and an off night by Baker Mayfield all help lead to an inept offensive performance. "

  • Cal, the Bucs beat Det in Detroit last yr. Why? They came to play..

     They laid their yearly predictable primetime egg Mon night and got their asses kicked.. Plain and simple.. Yes, there were some bad and no calls but phhht.. That's every NFL game anymore it seems.. They simply weren't ready and the Lions were loaded for Bear.. No pun intended

    Baker played like shit and he knows it..

    My biggest concern is the number of batted down passes suddenly.

    Go Browns!!

    Go Bucs!!
