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

[Redrum]

With how they play the Saints I wouldn't want to see them in the playoffs.

[Capsaicin]

Might need to put a call in to Edelman

[ATrain]

Brady needs to prove he's the MVP tonight. Show it.

He still has plenty of weapons.

[Cheb]

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

There are other options, we just choose not to use them.

Run Scotty Miller deep and have a race to the end zone against their third best cornerback (and likely with no safety help). Put Brate on a choice route versus some linebacker. Get the ball to OJ on a tight end screen. Have Leonard Fournette throw a goddamn jump pass to Gronkowski on a delay if it makes you happy.

There are literally an infinite number of options with these offensive options. We just want to use a handful of them.

[ATrain]

And he needs to rip out his headset and ignore Leftwich and call the plays himself.

[Digital_Damage]

Ataint melting down yet?

[Snake]

I really wasn’t into the number rule changes but 7 coming out of the backfield is kinda sexy.

[uscbucsfan]

Not sure he caught that

[King Bootz]

Incomplete

[13F11B]

We give up another sack. My lord.

[TonyLip]

Scoreless….in the first half.
Wow

[Defense5599]

GODDAMIT GET RID OF THE FUCKING BALL!!!

[Redrum]

Is this offensive line full of pro bowlers? The Saints dline must be full of hall of famers.

[TonyLip]

Learn to stunt block, you morons!

[13F11B]

Time to get a big defensive play. Assume prayer stance.

[uscbucsfan]

Jensen fucked up

[ATrain]

Can someone explain why we never run shallow crossing routes?

[air-buc-pirate]

Guaranteed sack on 3rd

[Cheb]

We have no offensive balance. We are asking alot from our offensive line.

But you're not wrong. They are outplaying us up front.

[Cheb]

Can someone explain why we never run shallow crossing routes?

We did against the Bills in overtime and it won us the game. But outside of that, nope.

I have no idea why we don't do it more frequently. It's one of my favorite calls.

[Nano]

How the fuck are they pushing us back like that on a QB sneak. Like seriously

What the fuck.

[TonyLip]

It is what it is.

[13F11B]

Sigh. The defense just gets pushed. Damn.

[Snake]

@Cheb during your NFL cup of coffee, did you notice the average guys in the NFL just looked different than college players? Just sized and physiques.

I went to an SEC game this year and I couldn’t believe how big some of those guys were compared to G5 players.

[Heisenberg]

If our coaches are too dumb to adjust hopefully Brady will.

It's maddening. This team is so held back by philosophy and playcalling.

If Scotty just keeps running Brady gets the ball out of his hand and gets huge yac.

But no risk it no biscuit, right?

[13F11B]

Here is to hoping this team can pull its head out of its ass during the half.

[Snake]

There’s a rigidity to an Arians run team. I really believe that. The team takes on the coach’s personality and the lack of offensive flexibility shows it here.

[uscbucsfan]

Well atleast we are a bad 2nd half team, lol.

If we get Godwin back, I still think we'll win.

We would go 20-0 with the Patriots coaching staff

[uscbucsfan]

Again, Brady is equally the problem, he checks out of run plays often...or doesn't check into them.

The NFL is full of very big people. I am not a small man and at times I felt quite undersized. But there were big guys in college, too. As far as physiques, when it's your full-time job to be good at football and in shape, unsurprisingly the average person in said job is in very good shape. Most of these guys spend a TON of money and time and resources getting into shape, so it shouldn't be too shocking.

What is shocking, and what separates NFL talent from college imo, is that those very big people can move as well as people who are half their size. 1% of 1% of 1% type athletes.

Brady needs to throw his weight around then. Fuck Arians. He's a clean t. He contributes nothing. He doesn't even go to meetings

Pure arrogance and incompetence.

[Redrum]

Can we ever not get bullied by this team?

Fascinating. Thanks. I really respect DBs because the mass velocity equation is really working against them and they’re often asked to tackle just massive massive humans. Underrated.
