It’s hilarious that not even Darren will use #birdcity

The Tampa org really stretched themselves for #gobucs

Hard disagree here. What is the evidence? That Colt McCoy had a 70.42% completion percentage and 86.4 passer rating in the games that he started and finished? That's where you're going to point to?

Weird take.

The primary problem with the offense this year is probably the offensive line. Two-fifths of it were AT LEAST ambivalent about playing football this year, and four-fifths of it have not played since Week 8 (WILD). There isn't a lot you can do to scheme through only having one starting-quality offensive lineman for the majority of your games.

The secondary problem with the offense was probably Kyler Murray. Conner, Ertz, Hollywood, and A.J. Green are probably sufficient pieces for an adequate offense. Kyler Murray couldn't deliver that.

Third problem is probably Kliff as head coach and playcaller. Inability to stop presnap penalties and just look functional in situational football is completely mystifying. We've been close enough in these games that an edge would at least give us a chance. One-score game results are essentially random, but we've played eight games where the margin was 8-10 points. We've lost seven of them.

See I don’t think there’s rankings. I see kyler and kliff as being equally culpable. Kyler because his play was clearly subpar, even before injuries mounted to the team. And kliff because, again the team was putrid from the beginning of the season, so who cares what happened beginning week 8? This team was unprepared to start the season and didn’t play any significant players in the preseason and routinely started games woefully unprepared. Those are coaching related. And the. There’s the mountain of other kliff issues discussed to death on the board.

Terrible organization, mediocre coach, QB had a terrible year and regressed, then, and only after all that, am I willing to point to injuries.

I’ll give you Hollywood & even 2022 Ertz, but Conner & AJ? BLEH.

Right? AJ is hot garbage and Conner is a nice complimentary power back.

McSorley, Morgan & Blough sounds more like a criminal defense team than a QB lineup.

A bad defense team

I never thought I would say this… there doesn’t need to be this much football. 17 game seasons are too long. The season is over and there’s STILL 2 more games AFTER this one.

And I’m not saying this just because we suck. Felt too long last year when we actually had a good record.

No one who still gambles would say this.

I’m a massive football junkie and I never thought I’d say it.

Cardinals place CB Byron Murphy on IR, make other moves for Week 16

Murphy's season ends with a back injury. The Cardinals signed DL Michael Dogbe and elevated WR Pharoh Cooper and CB Nate Hairston.

Bucs under pressure now with Carolina winning. The TB moneyline is the safest bet in the world.

Game 17 is when you win all your money back

I feel like there's so much you could do with that whole buccaneer / pirate theme too.
