Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Minnesota Vikings Official Game Day Thread: Season Opener Edition

[Bootz]

Trey Palmer!

[Buc2]

If we had an OL…

[Bucsfan83]

Licht drafted well?

Well considering one was undrafted and the other was a 6th rounder... I dont know if you can say that technically.

[wesmon]

12 carries for 31 yards? Another year with no running game

[Phantom]

It’s been a while since we score more than 24 points..

17 as right now

[wesmon]

Hell yeah. Mike who? we have Palmer

[Babeinbucland]

Seems being predictable is a good thing afterall?

2 min offenses befuddle me. Teams *seem* to move the ball easier in those situations, or maybe I have selective memory.

Same. I find myself thinking this almost weekly.

[Grahamburn]

Trey Palmer for 6

Smooth offense. 9 minute drive, control TOP, good mix of run and pass. Keep the defense rested so they can play aggressive.

This is the Canales offense I expected.

Concerned how many free rushers there have been. But, Baker getting it off.

Catch the ball, Mike.

[wmgravytrain]

Love that our rookies are bringing it. Still a lot of game left. Let’s step it up again D!

We don't block edge defenders on those boot actions and they don't respect our run game, so they just crash into Baker unblocked. As they should, honestly.

I could do without all the smoke screens and tricks. Just run the ball and keep it simple with Mayfield. Trust your receivers in open space.

[Snake]

@Doctor somewhere

[Babeinbucland]

I swear to God a lot of our tackles have looked like horsecollars but no call so…

[Selmon Rules]

That was the offense I had hoped for

[TonyLip]

Somebody stay home, ffs

[Cheb]

The Vikings just strolling down the field at their leisure.

[Phantom]

Yaya

[Cheb]

Anthony Nelson sighting. Good sack.

[Babeinbucland]

The Vikings just strolling down the field at their leisure.

RIGHT??? WTF?

[TonyLip]

Nelson can shed a blocker!!

[Bucsfan83]

BS spot, challenge that

[Bootz]

Nelson!!

[IronDog]

Man, it just ain't fair all the noise the stands are making when our guys have the ball.


Crimony, took me minutes to type that crap out.

[Cheb]

Of note, Todd Bowles is not calling defensive plays. Larry Foote is, so seeing some different types of calls is to be somewhat expected.

[Cheb]

Communication issues on defense, lots of talk after big offensive gains sorting out responsibilities.

[Snake]

How’s Barrett looking?

[Buc2]

Defense needs to stop this soft coverage shit. Seems like a never ending theme of Bowles defenses.

[Cheb]

How’s Barrett looking?

This is just first blush watching him live, but I'd say he looks competent but he's not flashing anything special.

[Snake]

Defense needs to stop this soft coverage shit. Seems like a never ending theme of Bowles defenses.

I remembered Cheb’s breakdown of bowles’s doing this. Its just weird.

[acmillis]

7 point lead to start the 4th… not sure how many times we’re gonna be able to say that this season. Enjoy the ensuing heartbreak

[Bucsfan83]

Man, white just threw cousins to the ground violently

[Bucsfan83]

What happened to LvD?

[13F11B]

What happened to David?

[Babeinbucland]

Nooooo LVD

[Bucsfan83]

All I heard was it was friendly fire and we are taking a commercial break. The crowd reacted with "Ohhhh...."
