Don’t look now, but Tom Brady is currently 3rd in the NFL in passing yards and has just one interception on the season. So much for being washed up. 🤷♂️
Don’t let Todd Bowles cowardly 4th & 2 surrender distract you from the fact that the Bucs had 20 minutes to score once to burry the Browns and they couldn’t.
The problem is what it always was.
Don't look now, but
#GoBucs
rookie DT Calijah Kancey has just 1.0 less sack than Jalen Carter with 2 more TFL's this season. Kancey has played two fewer full games.
How good is Mike Evans? With 13+ receiving touchdowns this season he would move into the top 15 in
#NFL
history, passing guys like Megatron, Steve Smith, Antonio Brown and Reggie Wayne.
Evans turns 29 next month.
#GoBucs
In the 7 games after Jameis came back after the Cincinnati game:
13 TDs
4 INT (2 on hail Mary)
5 multi TD games
3 games of 300+ yards
3 games of 70%+ accuracy
Dont be fooled by people who don't watch him, Jameis Winston is a damn good QB.
Carlton Davis
Sean Murphy Bunting
Jamel Dean
Jordan Whitehead
These are the core group of guys for the Bucs secondary moving forward. There is certainly talent, but it needs development. We have seen that this year and will hopefully continue to see them grow this year.
Been seeing a lot of talk about the Bucs going back to the creamsicle jersey. I’m all for modernizing it a bit and rolling with it. I’d still change the numbers, but I like something like this a lot.
A few more names I expect the Bucs to cut soon:
William Gholston
Bryan Anger
Demar Dotson
Beau Allen
Mitch Unrine
Evan Smith
DJax and McCoy potentially traded or cut down the line.
So many things to be excited about for
#Bucs
fans.
- Brady was great
- OL played extremely well
- so happy for guys like David and Evans.
- putting up 31 points vs that defense is impressive
- Devin White is back next week
- PLAYOFF WIN BABY!!!!!
I pity Vita Vea. The way some Bucs fans talk about McCoy, this kid is never gonna get a fair shake in Tampa. Then with the Derwin Jameis stuff on top of that, it almost doesn’t even matter what Vea does. He’ll never win over a large part of this fan base.
Bruce Arians cracks me up sometimes with how blunt he is.
Reporter: "what did you like from your offense this half?"
BA: "Not a damn thing. This should be a 35 point game right now. I ain't happy about shit."
BR just predicted the Lions to go 3-13. The Lions who have a top 10 QB, a strong front seven, a running that showed flashed last year and solid pass catchers.
For The Bucs
Breakout guy: Chris Godwin
Comeback kid: Jameis Winston
Rising Star: OJ Howard
Don't forget about: Peyton Barber
Needs to rebound: Justin Evans
Darkhorse MVP: Levonte David
Under the Radar: Alex Cappa
Bowles says part of not calling a time out late was that Brady could have thrown an interception. Brady has two picks in 470 passes this year. Guarding against a 0.4 percent possibility.
Fun fact: Ronde Barber has just 3 fewer career tackles for loss than fellow HOF finalist DT/DE Richard Seymour.
TFL wasn't even a tracked stat for the first two years of Barber's career.
#GoBucs
If I'm the Bucs then I'm on the phone with the Giants about Landon Collins right now. The fire sale is on and based on the Harrison trade players can be had for well under value.
Gonna call out Jameis for working with his person trainer, but Andy Dalton throws footballs into a hockey net with his kids and all of a sudden the Bengals shouldn't draft a franchise quarterback? 🤨
Got a minute, so I’m ranking the top 10 QBs going into 2019.
1) Aaron Rodgers
2) Patrick Mahomes
3) Andrew Luck
4) Drew Brees
5) Tom Brady
6) Russell Wilson
7) Matt Ryan
8) Phillip Rivers
9) Big Ben
10) Matthew Stafford
Honorable mention: Wentz, Watson and Goff.
Bit on personal news.

@NealDriscoll
This is a bad take, man. You don't have to minimize what the other rookie QBs have done to make Tua look better. Tua has been good so far, even with the bad almost INT. The other rookies have been better, but that's 100% okay because Tua has only played two games.
There are two kinds of quarterbacks. A guy you can win with and a guy you will win because of. There are only two QBs in this class that a team will win because of.
Kyler Murray and Drew Lock.
No Chris Godwin.
Antonio Brown quits mid game.
Mike Evans playing hurt.
Tom Brady: 410 yards and 3 TDs, including the game winner with 15 seconds left.
Amazing.

@minakimes
David has been every bit as productive as a guy like Brian Urlacher, but has flown under the radar his entire career. He’s one of the best to ever do it.
Cowboys are finalizing a trade to send WR Amari Cooper and a sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick, per league sources.
Good morning to everyone but the people whose team just cut one of the greatest players in franchise history to save money and then spent 80% of that money on a lesser guy who plays the same position and does all the things you didn’t like about the guy you used to have.
Sunday is a measuring stick game for the Bucs offense. The giants don't have a good pass rush; they don't have a good secondary. We have to get Mike Evans and OJ Howard on track. The Offensive line has to dominate this week. Scoring less than 3 touchdowns would be concerning.
You want to know why attendance is down? Because schools are charging hundreds of dollars for tickets when their target demographic is in tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt and have no income. But sure, let's blame these young people and their phones, you pathetic clown.

The
#Bucs
are hosting a pair of top defensive prospects today, as
#Clemson
DT Dexter Lawrence and
#Houston
DL Ed Oliver are in town for 30 visits, sources say. Tampa Bay picks No. 5.
Sounds like the Bucs pass rush is having their way with the Dolphins in practice. If Miami has a strength on offense, it's probably OL. Encouraging to see.
I learned things today about Dolphins fans.
1) they think their WRs are really good.
2) they think their RBs are really good.
3) many of them think Tunsil is the best LT in football and would start on every team in the NFL.
Just imagine what I'll learn tomorrow. 🤔
This is a beautiful play by the
#Bucs
offense. OJ in motion and running to space where Evans is vacating. That’s what u look for. Utilizing space properly. Get ur best weapon the ball in favorable matchups. Which is OJ vs any LB in the league.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft being charged with soliciting prostitution related to what FL police say is a massage parlor where women - who were told they were coming to US for legit jobs - were in fact held as virtual prisoners/sex workers.
I don't understand how Jameis Winston and Cam Newton are free agents if you're open to replacing Trubisky. This is a fireable offense if the Bears miss the playoffs.
@JBaileyNFL
Don't agree with the orders, but i pretty much agree with all the teams. Two questions though.
1) why so high on the Eagles?
2) why so low on the Ravens?
Oh really? Let’s check in with what the Bucs WRs are on pace for...
Mike Evans - 1702 and 12 TDs
DeSean Jackson - 1696 and 12 TDs
Chris Godwin - 772 and 12 TDs
Golden Tate on pace for:
105 REC, 1379 REC YARDS, 9 TD
Kenny Golladay on pace for:
86 REC, 1369 REC YARDS, 9 TD
Marvin Jones on pace for:
51 REC, 771 REC YARDS, 9 TD
The best WR core in the league.
Listening to Jason Licht’s press conference, he sounds like he knows what’s at stake this offseason. Know what the team needs. I’m confident he’ll go get it.
The NFL Network has a mock draft going that has Marcus Davenport going in the top five above Bradley Chubb....is this the worst take of
#NFLDraft
season?
It’s amazing. This time last week many believed the Bucs were one of the best teams in the NFL. Today many of those same people are calling for coaching change because they’re one of the worst teams in the NFL. Like, how are y’all that big of a prisoner to the moment?
Since people are doing this lately, here are some of “my guys”.

. Denver lost Ja'Wuan James after he opted out on Monday.
Michigan LB Devin Bush is visiting the Bengals today, per source. Bush then is visiting the Bucs after Cincinnati - two teams linked to both him and LSU LB Devin White.
If watching film is not the primary part of your evaluation process then you are doing something wrong. Don’t look at stats. Don’t look at wins. Don’t look at where a guy comes from.
#NFLDraft
I predicted two UDFAs would make the Bucs roster this year in CB Parnell Motley and OLB Cam Gill.
Both have officially been told they've made the team.
#GoBucs
So 10 teams are interested with contracts ranging up to $11 mil and the Bucs could get nothing for him via trade?
This is nothing short of a failure by Licht, the front office, Arians and the entire Bucs organization. Smh.
Gerald McCoy has been overwhelmed by the amount of interest he’s received. Ten teams are involved with offers as high as $11-million per year. Glazers could’ve dragged this process out but his release by the Bucs is appreciated by McCoy. He will visit the Browns Fri.
