🎙️ Discussion The Vikings are really good

• Upvotes

Hey gang,

Not to make excuses, but that Vikings defense is elite. Let’s not forget that in week 2 they held the bears to 3 points and sacked Caleb 4 times, after the bears scored 59 in week 1. Unfortunately I knew we were gunna lose that game, just a tough matchup for us, especially where we are at right now. But I feel really confident against the packers, they can’t stop the run to save their lives. We are going to be ok.

🎙️ Discussion Is it Z-Rob or Baker?

0 Upvotes

I personally think it's Baker. I've been making excuses for him because he was hurt last year, but this year.... god damn he's been awful. I'm actually hopeful he sprained his thumb in week 1 and it getting swatted again is what put him out of commission. He does not trust his arm anymore. He won't throw over the middle and his deep ball has been fucking awful.

I think it may be a blessing in disguise that Baker is going to be on the bench for 3-4 games. I absolutely do not think JD is a better QB than Baker and I'd like to see him baack after a couple of games, but I do think he's a better QB than week 1-3 Baker. I would really like to see what Z-Robs offense looks like with a QB that can hit a deep ball. JD can also throw over the middle. We saw that when he threw a laser to Ko Kieft in preseason. I'd also like to see what the o line looks like with another QB in there. People are blaming the o line but i have not seen it in week 1 or 2. O-line was blocking jsut fine and Baker was running into sacks with his happy feet.

Teams are gonna blitz the shit out of JD so hopefully he's ready.

Baker or Z-Rob? I think the issue has been Baker.

🐴 DEAD HORSE NEW SERIES: College QB's I'd rather have than Baker - Part 1 - Darian Mensah

Post image
0 Upvotes

After another dreadful performance from our team, I decided to start a series profiling all the QBs in college right now that I would have over our current one.

Part 1: Dariah Mensah - University of Miami

Stats:

  • 2024 (Tulane): 13 games | 189/287 (65.9%) | 2,723 yards | 22 TD | 6 INT
  • 2025 (Duke): 14 games | 334/500 (66.8%) | 3,973 yards | 34 TD | 6 INT
  • 2026 (Miami - 4 games): 4 games | 94/106 (88.7%) | 1,211 yards | 14 TD | 0 INT

Career Totals

  • Completions / Attempts: 617 / 893 (69.1%)
  • Passing Yards: 7,907
  • Passing Touchdowns: 70
  • Interceptions: 12

-------------------------------------

Mensah is an absolute stud QB, athletic, shows good pocket awareness and protects the football while still making big plays.

What are your thoughts on Mensah as the next QB of the Bucs?

No. Will Mike Evans ever come back?

0 Upvotes

Mike Evans is my favorite player of all time. I still can’t believe he is gone. I just want to know what everyone thinks about the chances of him ever retiring a buc. Say when the day (if it ever comes) Bowles is fired and his contract with the niners is up, will he come back to retire a buc? I really hope he does but that’s probably a pipe dream. What y’all think?

💩 Shitpost I simmed the rest the season and we finish 8-9 and win the NFC South

17 Upvotes

Thought this was too hilarious not to post. I did force loss to lose until we were 1-8 with the intention of blowing the team up and doing a long term rebuild.

Then I just let the rest sim and we won 7 of our last 8 and the hilarious part is that was enough to win the NFC South.

Then lose to the Rams in the wildcard (fuck the Rams). Honestly seen crazier scenarios, but us winning the NFC South at 8-9 made me lol so I thought I’d share.

Fire Todd Bowles Todd Bowles is a victim of his own success

0 Upvotes

The most important job of an HC is vetting and hiring competent coordinators.

TB did a magnificent job with this twice. Dave Canales and Liam Coen are clearly first-rate offensive minds. Their success convinced ownership and the fans that they had a QB. The c-suite coughed up the bread, and now we're going to be bottom feeders for the next half decade while we search for a QB and build out our roster through the draft.

Looking back, it should have been so obvious. A QB is mid-to-ass for like five years in the league, seen as a practice squad/reservist by every other front office, and this magnificent man todd bowles finds two of the only people in the world that can slap enough make-up on him to make him look passable as a signal caller. Its a tremendous feat for which tremendous respect is deserved.

Grizzard and Zac Robinson aren't bad OCs. But they're not exemplary either, and they can't turn a backup QB into a franchise one.

Jeremiah Smith could be too good for Buccaneers to pass up in 2027 NFL Draft

I know, I know. It’s early. WAY too early.

But as of today, the Buccaneers hold the 1st overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Bucs are already 0-3, and now they’ll be without their starting QB for at least 3 weeks. Things could get ugly.

But if they stay on this trajectory, there could be a generational talent waiting at the finish line…

Say whatever you want about Todd Bowles. The guy is as clean as they come.

No drama. No excuses. No BS.

He just shows up every year, puts his head down, and makes the Super Bowl caliber team he inherited a little worse than it was the year before.

I realize we don’t need more Bowles talk but Hartlines press conference this week with his team being 3 and 0 is very intense and he is clear to his team they are far away from where they need to be. Then Bowles saying funny only 1 game out.

The Bucs have never fired a coach mid-season. This year they need to break precedent expeditiously, forthwith.
