Smart move by the defense to give up a quick TD so we can have our future hall of fame kicker to win it.
Plus side is we're trending for a top 10 pick, which puts us in top 3 pass rusher or Derwin (is he still good?) territory.
There isn't a safety in the NFL that's worth a shit. Everyone sucks. I'd rather dudes from FSU went elsewhere so I don't have to yell at them.
Good point. That just means Licht will draft him though. Because he'll think he's out smarting everyone.
I disagree, though I see why it would be a bad pick since we would need to draft defense which is the more important need.
And it's not like they didn't give Doug the ball. Bills do have a decent D though, despite the pts we put up today
Derwin’s an amazing player he’s just never had a good coach in his life. He played at a terrible high school instead of transferring because he didn’t want to leave his long time teammates. He committed to FSU as a sophomore and never looked at another school before signing. Then had played his entire career (one and a half years) coached by Charles Kelly. He still relys mainly on talent and athleticism as it seems that’s all he’s coached to do. He’ll be much better in the NFL if he plays for a competent defensive staff. Which Tampa doesn’t have obv.
Waiting for the blame jameis crowd to come out this morning. Tampa Bay times slid him in as a reason they lost yesterday
So Hargreaves is so trash now that he's been relegated to second string? Saw a great stat last night: Jags had 10 sacks yesterday. Bucs have had 7 all year. Woof.
Fuck FSU guys are so sensitive about Jameis. Just because he's a big factor in a lot of our losses doesn't mean he's the reason for all of them.
I think it's the comically bad takes that people find obnoxious. In the 3 losses where he played the whole game Jameis is averaging 349 ypg (Brady leads the NFL at 315 ypg) on 8.1 ypa (4th in the NFL) and is completing 66.2% of his passes. Saying he's the reason we're losing is asinine on a level that's difficult to comprehend.
I just looked at that MN box score again to see how bad keenum torched us (25-33 for 369). I didn't realize that we had 8 rushing attempts
Going into this week the bucs had by far the lowest amount of rushing attempts of any team in the league. They're probably still last but they ran a decent amount so I'm sure it's closer
a part of the loss, but also with our defense depleted especially at the LB position during those games made a difference.
Right. But when you throw three picks, two in the end zone you shoulder responsibility. When you don't convert on a 3rd down until the fourth quarter, you shoulder responsibility. He has put up good yardage numbers in those games but really failed to show up when needed in those losses.
New England was a bad 1st half but he threw for 220 in the 2nd and had a rushing TD negated by a backside hands to the face and TD pass bounce off of Brate's chest (1 of 4 bad drops on the night). Add to that 3 missed FGs by Folk and Winston did more than enough to get the win. Hell, had Folk hit the 31 yarder we would have been in position to kick a game winning FG at the end after he droves us into NE territory on the final drive. He didn't have his best game but he did more than enough to win it on a night we chose to give Martin 13 carries and rushed for <100 yards.
