New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official Game Day Thread- Sunday Night Football Edition: Sponsored by Kleenex*

[uscbucsfan]

We have been playing the game for over 20 minutes and have yet to throw a pass towards the best receiver in franchise history.

You've gotta be kidding me.

We just did, but to pretend he's not the 2nd or 3rd option when AB is out there is crazy.

[Snake]

I’m sitting Godwin. Team needs to figure it out without him imo.

[accidentw8ing2happen]

This is the type of game Succup misses

[King Bootz]

Don't wanna get into 3rd & long against this defense.

[Heisenberg]

Jfc

[Nano]

Wirfs having the worst game of his career

[13F11B]

The Buccaneers are just snake bit against the Saints. Wow, just wow.

[Defense5599]

Nice going there SucDICK!!! Thanks to you, the best drive came out to nothing, jackweed!!!

[TonyLip]

Infuriating

[uscbucsfan]

I’m sitting Godwin. Team needs to figure it out without him imo.

He's our best WR without AB. Sucks.

Evans is great at what he does, but it's almost always a much lower % play than AB, Godwin, even Gronknor LF.

[13F11B]

I’m sitting Godwin. Team needs to figure it out without him imo.

I would want to get a scan of that leg before letting him out there more. Then again I am not a doctor so who knows what they can see without an MRI.

No one is forcing our team to call 19 passes and 4 runs.

These things are self-inflicted.

Wirfs having the worst game of his career

Gave up 1 sack.

Cappa gave up the other.

[ATrain]

Saints want the game more. Plain and simple.

Was hoping to finally watch us best this Saints team but it's just the same story playing back out.

No surprise because this team is incapable of strategy or adjusting.

The whole team reverts back to alarm clock days.

What a shame.

[King Bootz]

It's as if we've learned nothing from the previous matchups against this team. We won't beat them throwing it all over the field. Their pass rush is too good. They cover well and mix up their coverages well.

The teams that have beat the Saints have worn their defense down by running it and not worrying about the yards

[Doooshnzl]

Our defense should be hunting knees after that hit on Godwin.

Not how the game should be played. This is not 1970s hockey you goon.

This pretty much covers it. There looking for revenge for White getting flagged for the tackle on Winston when he hurt his knee.

A Lachman test can accurately predict a torn ACL about 90% of the time. It’s highly likely his important ligaments are intact. He passed that test on the field and sideline. But a scan will show other things.

I don't disagree with @Nano. Wirfs has given up some pressure tonight and has looked confused by their twists up front.

WTF are you talking about? That wasn't a dirty or bad play.

Lucky for them, if they score again we'll probably go in panic mode and have like 2 rushes the rest of the game.

We'll need a new coaching staff in you want stuff like learning from mistakes or adjusting playcalling.

I guess winning the game isn't a good enough biscuit for Arians.

I said it talking about the game last week. We can't just stubbornly stick to "our offense" with the Saints. They are designed to beat that.

[13F11B]

Defense holds. Now it is time for a 2:00 minute offense for the Buccaneers. Put the 7 up and then get the ball to start the second half.

[uscbucsfan]

Bad pass. SMB was beat

[King Bootz]

Dumb decision by Darden

My 9 year old just said that, lol.

[BJJ34]

We could make it really hard for these guys to make the playoffs and we’re not.

We keep losing guys too. JFC.

[Nano]

Mike Evans is doubtful to return with hamstring injury

[King Bootz]

Your 9 year old is a smart one lol. The risk is way greater than the 2 extra yards he got fielding that ball.

[Snake]

Mike Evans is doubtful to return with hamstring injury

The annual ME hammy injury. Saved it for the end of the season again too.

[13F11B]

Mike Evans is doubtful to return with hamstring injury

Damn. I missed that. Ouch.

[King Bootz]

Mike Evans is doubtful to return with hamstring injury

Last time he hurt his hamstring this late in the year he was done for the season.

[King Bootz]

Honestly, Evans and Godwin being out might be a blessing in disguise. It'll force us to run the ball.

5 yards on 1st down.

[13F11B]

Big time catch by the Polish stallion.

[Snake]

Brady has won with Jacoby Meyers and the corpse of 5’9 Julian Edelman. We can do this.
