Tampa looked good in week 1. Especially their pass O. Need the rush to show up. I think it'll be closer than the 7.5 line.

 

[gotime909]

Need to pressure Baker early and often. I was critical of Hutch not getting home last week vs 3rd string tackles, but it seems like PFF gave him a record grade so maybe I was too hard on him.

 

[biggunsbob]

No pressure.

 

[biggunsbob]

Such a weak call.

 

[Monster]

That PI was initiated by the WR

 

[gotime909]

When will they fix the pass interference yardage bs. No way should that little bit of contact be a 41 yard penalty

 

[Monster]

Hutch!

 

[mhughes0021]

Attaboy Hutch. I thought bakers deeper drops and tb's longer routes would give him a chance today.

 

[biggunsbob]

That is a penalty.

 

[Monster]

Looks like the refs are bucs fans today

 

[biggunsbob]

Well shit. The league is against us I guess.

 

[gotime909]

Wow, big time PI!!! Jamo needs to keep running after contact tho.

 

[Monster]

They wanted sacks and Aidan is feeding them!

 

[biggunsbob]

3rd 22 you play that defense.

Stop the pressure on 3rd and Long.

55 yarder.

 

[gotime909]

That 3rd down d cost us 3 pts. Glenn just gets worked over on 3rd downs.

 

[Monster]

Jamo!

 

[biggunsbob]

Drops a dime ! 5o yards

 

[gotime909]

Goff has a pea brain since signing that deal
