Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Man, I'm torn. I love both teams. Who to pick?
Lions?? Bucs?

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
The final 8 QBs are very intriguing in regards to how they differ.
The AFC, you basically have 4 guys who if you said these are the 4 best QBs in football it would be hard to argue. 3(soon to be 4) MVPs between Mahomes & Jackson. Allen has always been a media favorite. Stroud looks like the next big thing and will win ROTY.
The NFC you have 4 guys who have a chip on their shoulders because all you hear is how they don't belong and how their teams need to replace them. Purdy is "a product of the system". Love has to hear about the Aaron Rodgers comparisons and even the Packers werent sure. Goff & Baker are former 1st overall picks cast out by their original teams now playing some damn good ball. They've found a home that embraces them and a team that loves them.
Gonna be a very interested final month.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
I think it comes down to which QB plays good, and which QB plays like dog shit. Both QBs have equal opportunity to do both of those things, so we'll just have to hope for the best.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
We need to tackle as well as we tackled last night. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, and Sam LaPorta aren't going down with arm tackles and diving attempts.

Best football weekend of the year.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
HOpefully no blowout
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Browsing the Lions forums. The fans seem to feel pretty confident that the Bucs will get slapped around in Detroit since Lions handled Bucs quite comfortably in wk5 in Tampa. If I were a Lions fan, I'd feel the same. Baker was terrible that game and so was Bowles' defense.
I feel good that we lost to them in regular season. Bowles has shown a tendency to adapt against teams that have abused his defense before and that is what is making me hopeful about this matchup. Also Kancey, Yaya, JTS and the D-line were having a lot of fun yesterday. This game will be entirely on them, because Lions have one of the best defenses in the league and deepest WR corps in the league. We'd have to bring pressure without overburdening our secondary.
Lions D is solid, but not impressive at all levels. Lions fans also seem to think their secondary is the only area that Bucs could take advantage of.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Nah...I think Thanksgiving is better. This is prolly in a tie for second-best with New Year's weekend and opening week of college/NFL. And with college football playoffs starting next year, the first round of that will be up there in the convo, too.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
I hope Lions drinking their own kool aid. Bucs coming in angry.
All these showdowns should be better than last week blowout fest.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Besides the Bucs obviously, another Chiefs vs Bills playoffs game sounds exciting. For some reason I can’t get too hype about the Saturday matchups.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Did any players from the Bucs get injured? I can't remember.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
I really think the Bucs can beat the Lions if they play they way they played against Philly. Especially if they clean up the drops.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
I think if Baker and the Bucs proved anything this season, it's that they thrive best with an underdog mentality and become complacent when they start reading their own press.
Let us be underdogs going into Detroit. I welcome it, and so should any Bucs fan.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
And those are the Lions that scare me... We have "stars" on the Bucs. But you just named four Lions that can really fuck us up. I'm not as worried about Goff as I am these guys.
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Lions are a good team that play real tough. It's the playoffs. There's no path but through good teams.
We got to bring our A game.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
That and nobody giving us any credit for last night. It's all what the Eagles didn't do.

Eagles quit. How Nick Sirianni still has a job today is beside me.GreatTimes wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 5:42 pmThe Eagles brought their F- game, especially their DB's.
Kudos to the Bucs for taking advantage. But those big holes down the middle of the field won’t be there vs Detroit. This will be a much tougher game. We need to put pressure on Goff or St. Brown will kill us again. Defense is huge next week.

You sure they didnt injure the players out of contention
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
If our defense can put pressure on Goff like they did Hurts, and if our offense can operate like yesterday but with fewer drops.. its winnable
Re: Divisional Round Discussion
Also I just have this feeling that both the Ravens and 49ers choke.
Can see Bills Chiefs coming down to a positive call on the behalf of the Chiefs

It's kind of comical..I could be wrong, but I think the only mention of the bucs is the vid title.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 4:36 pmThat and nobody giving us any credit for last night. It's all what the Eagles didn't do.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
We embrace it. We only won because the Eagles are such a mess. No chance against the lions.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
McCollum was delivering hits that were missing all year - I hope it continues and others join in like a landslide.

Re: Divisional Round Discussion
If that were true it would be the Chiefs so they could capitalize on Taylor Swift. For read.
