Rapid Reactions Wild Card Weekend: Bucs blowout the Eagles

[Nano]

Bucs advance to the Divisional round

[Draftline]

Nice... just NICE

[King Bootz]

Get well ASAP Wirfs. We need him next week.

Great win. Eagles suck.

[Cheb]

Wirfs' injury sucks. Hope he gets better soon, as well as our cartload of wounded players.

The defense is still very, very good. Don't let them relaxing in the fourth quarter fool you. When the game was in contention, they were aces.

Great to get a win. Looking forward to next week, when hopefully we have a much healthier team.

Go Bucs.

[Xandtar]

And now we hope our offensive linemen get better for next week. Can't get Tom hit like that the whole offseason, he's gonna hurt tonight.

Defense did their thing and Jordan Whitehead is making a name for himself.

DBs gotta catch those picks.

[Bucsfan83]

I dont know, I know it was a blow out, but I got an uneasy feeling if we have to play GB.

[ATrain]

Give it a 6/10 win. Embarrassing 4th quarter defense and potentially season altering injuries really drive down the score.

Hopefully whichever elite offense we play next week decides to take the 4th quarter off.

[acacius]

Well, it was a blowout win in the playoffs, but they scored a couple of times after our team pretty much stopped trying. So it was pretty much a loss, right?

We could easily have had like 4 picks..

[Snake]

I’m pretty happy that the offensive line has stayed mostly healthy all season. Because it can get ugly pretty quickly otherwise.

[Xandtar]

I dont know, I know it was a blow out, but I got an uneasy feeling if we have to play GB.

There's a game between us and them. They could still lose in the divisional round and give us a home game in two weeks.

You never know.

We just have to take care of business and let the chips fall where they may.

Thats true.

[Buc2]

That was fun. Been a while since us Buc fans could relax a little and just watch our team beat the shit outta somebody.

Bummed about Wirfs and holding out hope it’s not something that keeps him out of the lineup going forward.

[King Bootz]

I hope we play Sunday to give everyone the extra day to rest. But I believe if Dallas wins, the Packers are guaranteed to play Sunday because they play the winner of the game tomorrow night.

You mean the team with the best record in NFC at their stadium??

Why feel uneasy about that?

I find it verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry hard to imagine a world where Wirfs plays again before the Super Bowl (and that is likely a stretch).

You don't come out of a game and put the few completely incapable snaps out there like he did without it being a grade 2 sprain minimum. I've probably had more grade 2 and grade 3 sprains than any human on the planet earth (20+ in 30 years). Those few snaps weren't the byproduct of a tweak to a grade 1. He has a legit injury. Folks need to brace themselves for the very likely reality that Wirfs (who, so far as I know, doesn't have the experience of playing on a bad wheel...and that experience makes a huge difference on your ability to adjust) is likely done for the postseason.

[Snake]

Brady can do what he did today another 5 years.

What you said feels right, but I’m gonna hold out hope you’re wrong for a change.

[Buc2]

Brady completed 29 of 37. 78.4%. Smh

The prospects of playing guys like Demarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory, Von Miller, Chandler Jones without him is scary. He was an All-Pro for a reason. But you are likely correct. He couldn't do anything.

Three or four drops by the receivers too.

Felt good to get that dominating win. I am excited to watch the Cowboys lose their game.

If that's true, then that's a really long way of saying our season is over, just a question of when.

Why feel uneasy about that?

We had the same record as them. Technically, we do now if you include playoff wins.

[Pirate Life]

I dont know, I know it was a blow out, but I got an uneasy feeling if we have to play GB.

Rodgers has a losing record against Tampa, a losing record against Brady and has never beaten a team with Bruce Arians as head coach.

And he has a horrible record in the NFC Championship game. I still feel uneasy though.

Quotes from our beat writers

[ATrain]

Wirfs health determines the fate of our season.

[Miller4Prez64]

Bucs now have the all time edge against the Eagles. 8-8 in regular season, 3-2 in playoffs for 11-10 overall.

Love it.

[Selmon Rules]

I hope we play Sunday to give everyone the extra day to rest. But I believe if Dallas wins, the Packers are guaranteed to play Sunday because they play the winner of the game tomorrow night.

If Niners win, when would that put us playing??? Like I need another reason to root against the Cowboys, lol

Niners win, they play Green Bay Saturday

[Crocaneers]

Good game, really didn't like seeing TB12 that far into the 4th. Go win the next one !

[Primeminister]

Good team win. Best defensive showing all season and it’s at the right time.

[Doctor]

And now we hope our offensive linemen get better for next week. Can't get Tom hit like that the whole offseason, he's gonna hurt tonight.

Nothing some avocado tequila can't fix
