Well then hopefully he learns from the film and WHY he didn't get enough on the throws.  A fadeaway jump pass once in awhile out of necessity is fine, but doing it regularly is going to be a problem.

Believe he was outside the pocket both times, could have thrown the ball into bench as long as it crossed the LOS.

Probably the most subdued Good Better Best I’ve seen (understandably). One game ball (Jaylon), no stanky leg, no smiles and celebration during the chant.  Again understandable, just interesting to see

This feels like a loss but horsefeathers it. Good teams win games like this. 

Hopefully Burden returns after the bye

Mononga should be back

Stevenson should be back.

I thought the first one he was still in the pocket, I could be wrong though.  I figured that’s why he had to throw it in the direction of someone. Obviously should have put more on it though.

Malik Muhammad too and hopefully another deadline acquisition.

Has Trapilo still been getting snaps at LT?

[gflore34]

The Bucs have a bye and then at Detroit, these a-holes better not roll over for the Lions.

Last week no, today I didn't notice, but he wasn't looking great after his return so he probably needs time to build up.

Not sure but something they should definitely be doing after the bye. The left side of the line was pretty bad tonight, particularly Theo (who was playing hurt but still)

They won’t. Honestly I think they are one of the better 3-6 teams you’ll ever see. 

 

5th overall in DVOA despite starting an undrafted rookie at QB for multiple games. Really don’t consider the Bucs a bad team despite their record

[Brian707]

Yeah Tampa should win that horsefeathers division and get the #4 seed. Probably don't want to see them on the road if the Bears don't win the North

That’s the way it should be this game

The Bucs have played CHGO/Minn/GB all tough, losing by one score each game. I believe they will play the Lions tough. 

[gflore34]

Honestly, despite all going wrong and, the Bucs good defense, I was pretty confident Caleb would put the Bears in position to kick attempt a GW FG.

Ben confirmed concussion for Burden.

In both, I’m not sure he was out of the pocket. Only other option in that moment it so throw 1yard past scrimmage deep out of bounds. If he thinks he is in the pocket still, throwing near a wr is a must

He can always take the sack but yeah he's gotta read it quicker and get out of the box. 

[gflore34]

Also, the last INT, DPI?  Appeared Burden' arms were grabbed before the ball got to him.

That was a really empty win.

I’ve never understood this kind of feeling. The only thing that matters is the win-loss column (well, in very rare edge cases your point differential can matter), so I’ve literally never regretted a win (and only rarely find any solace in a noble loss). 
 

There’s real value in figuring out how to gut out a win when the football gods are deciding against you. They did that. Other than that they keep stacking dubs and keeping pace in the North. That’s all good in my book.
