    The Bucs are the first Wild Card team to not only play the Super Bowl in their home stadium but also win it as underdogs..

    Where have ya seen that before Nipper?

    Nowhere because obviously if this was the first time for a team to ever play the SB in their home stadium.....any qualifiers beyond that would be the first also.  Win or lose it would have been the first.  Overdog or underdog it would have been the first.

    Play off Lennie as he's referred to around here.

    AB,, Gronk,  Ryan Succop.. All huge understated contributors..

    But the biggest un noticed contributor of all?

    Tristen Wirfs.. Dude has been a monster all year as a rookie..

    And no one knows who he is. 😁

    Actually, almost anyone who is a regular here knew about him:    Recall that the Browns biggest need in the draft this past year was a Left Tackle.  Wirfs was one of  3-4 people we were all looking at, along with Wills, whom we chose.  Andrew Thomas, and Becton.   So, yea, we were pretty well aware of him.  He did a great job as a rookie.

    You invited a response.  If you didn't want one, why didn't you STFU.

    This may have been the best part of the game. Kevin Harlan with the Radio play by play...  🙂

    And Evans set them all up with his defense clearing downfield threat. Plus a hellofa dive on the PI to get the call. Just a nice little touch to the heel and down he went.  LOL!

    Is the game over already ?   😕

    Yep, this game has to be one of the pieces of evidence supporting the need for a good OL before anything else..

    Doesn't matter how many Extreme Doritos Playmakrzz you have if every play your QB is running for his life and the backup OL is called for holding or false start.

    The game looked like flag football when KC's offense was on the field.. 360 degree pivots, brutal shots on the QB and a young Fran Tarkenton.

    Not coincidentally, Tarkenton made several but won zero super bowls.

    Shouldn't see any doubts about the importance of OL play moving forward.  We will, but we shouldn't.

    Interesting to see Bucs switch up the 2:1 coverage and do something they didn't in game 1 -- shut down Hill. Will that be the book for next season?

    It was bad. Regardless of how old you are

    Speaks to the need of having a LB or S capable of being able to bang around down low, run with and be hands on with TE's like Kelce.    KC was happy to put White or David on him and bracket Tyreek.

    Another year, another simple understanding of how teams win super bowls

    -above average at worst, to elite level play at the QB

    -A relentless ability to get to the QB

    -A OL that keeps your QB upright.

    Candidly, we have two of the three. Offseason and draft needs to focus heavily on improving pass rush.

  • U Unsympathetic wrote on last edited by

    David was a round2, white was a round1.. also speaks to the need to invest at LB because not enough bodies to double oppo #1wr, watch the TE with a S, and play the run..

    I saw speed on defense. A lot of speed.

    I saw tackles being exposed which is why I picked the Bucs last week. I hear a lot of complaints regarding the Refs but 75 could have been called for holding twice a Quarter. 
     

    And it didn’t stop Tampa from bringing an extra guy or two even though it has been pounded into our heads that you can’t blitz Mahomes.  True sometimes...but you can’t play back and let his WRs run circles in your secondary...you saw timing being disrupted (even when Mahomes evaded pressure).  
     

    The chiefs offense was controlled by the Bucs Front 4 AND the excellent coverage downfield. When they brought an extra the coverage married the blitz concept.  It wasn’t play off and allow a check down to a speedy or crafty Chiefs WR for a catch and run.

    Yep.  You win upfront.  If your front 4 can’t get there you need to make the adjustment and bring an extra man or two.  
     

    Im leaning toward first round DT or DE...bringing in another pass rusher via FA.  I don’t like Woods but I see what he needs in his passive scheme.

    It was not that at all. 

    I had not really seen or heard of Bruno Mars before the 2014 SB and he and the show were fantastic. 

    This show was plagued by horrible sound quality,  low energy,  and guys wearing jock straps on their heads. 

    While I had not really heard of this guy before, it seemed like he may have had some nice songs......but nothing about them grabbed you and told you:  "You are being entertained".  I would perhaps have to hear his studio renderings to get a better feel for his music, which, like I said, didn't seem bad.

    So, maybe a lot more of the "blame" for this disaster should fall on the show's producers than on the artist.

    By that you mean you would want to count only  the points scored before halftime? Or, perhaps you would have wanted to end the season and declare a Champion after only 8 games?
