NFL Network: Rivers = Playoffs
March 17th, 2020
Philip Rivers fan.
If NFL quarterback Philip Rivers, old man that he is in NFL years, had been on the Bucs last season even though Rivers appeared to be on the doorstep of retirement, the Bucs would have been a playoff team.
That’s the analysis from spreadsheeter Cynthia Frelund of NFL Network. And that’s why Frelund believes Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht should throw s cold water on Bucco Bruce Arians and get him to wise up and agree to have the Bucs sign Rivers.
In the video presenation below, Frelund thinks Rivers would have given the Bucs 3.6 more wins. Joe rounded that off to four.
The Bucs finished 7-9. Four wins would have given the Bucs 11 wins. That would have been enough to bounce the Vikings (10-6) out of the playoffs last season.
You can watch Frelund’s takes below.

Gm nut huggers Mariota gets signed before Winston lol 😂
March 17th, 2020 at 5:18 am
Mariota also sighed before brees, Brady, Bridgewater, and rivers. None of the qb’s that are looking for starting jobs have signed yet
March 17th, 2020 at 5:29 am
Because mariota will play for free. Lmao!!!!
Dummies cant help themselves. dont worry the season will be cancelled anyway and bruce will be lucky to survive. The president just made it IMPOSSIBLE for the nfl to do business until August. AT BEST!! Give brady a HUGE bonus and he never plays a down. The BUC WAY!! Hahahahahaaaaaa!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 5:34 am
If my child cant go to school until next fall the NFL is DONE.
NOW does it make sense? Football has become irrelevant. Only cte sufferers and jock sniffers care about free agency when a season will be cancelled.

Winsnone will get the next backup job.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:40 am
She’s cute and smart, but I respectfully disagree. Rivers would have done just as well as Jameis or maybe even worse last season. Now if we are talking Brady, I have no doubt we would have had at least 4 more wins, if not more if (huge if) he played all 16 games.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:42 am
I for one can’t wait to see the Bucs “upgrade” from a QB who throws 30 INTs a year to one who throws 20.
What big games has Rivers proven he can win in his illustrious career?
March 17th, 2020 at 5:57 am
I bet she shags like a mynx
Dont discredit Freelund. She knows her stuff.
Approaches everything thru statistics / numbers/ simulations
You should go to for draft kings etc for her knowledge
I remember one year …she had almost a perfect NCAA march madness bracket after the 1st 2 days. Missed on only one game if i remember
March 17th, 2020 at 5:59 am
I know everyone hates Jameis these days but he was pressured and sacked pretty much more than any QB…
Phillip wouldn’t have done much better; he’s a pocket statue/sack magnet…can he kick field goals? There’s your 3 extra wins right there
March 17th, 2020 at 6:02 am
Does Rivers kick field goals?
If so, that’s two wins right there. If not, please list the 3.6 wins––especially the 6/10th of a win. I once had 60% of a dog. He didn’t run very well …
March 17th, 2020 at 6:07 am
Can Rivers play Saftey? Then get the f outta here with that..
March 17th, 2020 at 6:16 am
build through the draft and fill in with FA and trades. And fill in does not mean primary pieces. you build from the top down. Top management, coaches, trainers then players. We have had an organization that uses the approach of let’s try this and see if it works. It didn’t, it doesn’t and the proof is in our results. You start your picks with the trenches and fill from there on both sides.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:16 am
Is QB/K a new position? What a great fantasy pick that would be!
March 17th, 2020 at 6:19 am
I am not surprised that Jay-Miss’ name isn’t linked to one team out there apart from the Bucs. It’s laughable the apologists are out there with the excuse making.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:20 am
Call me crazy but I take Jameis over Rivers at this point.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:24 am
Leighroy- Far more than any QB wearing a Bucs uniform in this decade! That’s for sure.
Rivers may not be the answer. I assure you though, his accomplishments far outweigh that of Winston.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:47 am
If no teams are calling Jameis…..or there are only calls for lower salary backup positions…..his price to stay with the Bucs will certainly come down….
March 17th, 2020 at 6:50 am
Winston was pressured because he holds on to the ball TOO LONG….still doesn’t know HOW to throw the ball away, can’t READ defenses.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:55 am
Lol yeah ok Buczilla. Would you “respectfully disagree” if she wasn’t hot AF? No, if it was a dude you’d call him a retard pudding head or something. Guys are simps, sex sells. Always. You should see Joy Taylor and charissa Thompson’s Instagram page. So hot most men would cheat on their wives if given the chance, but what’s hilarious is these broads are still resorting to posting risqué shots of themselves 80 percent of the time, selling their looks to promote their brand. They wanna be “respected journalists” though. But then you got the hypocrite libs screaming tOxIc MaSuLiNiTy or white privilege (or something) whenever you call that out. Yeah so anyway saying Rivers would equal 3.6 more wins or some stupid crap when he threw 20 interceptions himself is galaxy brained and dumb. Have a great day
March 17th, 2020 at 7:06 am
We need to sign Winston please
March 17th, 2020 at 7:11 am
you people need a life, posting on here non stop it pathetic and sad
March 17th, 2020 at 7:19 am
Smith is the only offensive tackle on the team. Whos going to come here. Arians said he was getting his tackles from the xfl. Enough said.
March 17th, 2020 at 7:22 am
Although I’m still trying to “process” the very strange year the Bucs had in 2019…the good, bad and the ugly…it’s a bit of a stretch to say the Bucs would have won 3-4 more with Rivers. Maybe the Chargers would have won 3-4 more with Winston? What did the Chargers win with Rivers…a whopping 5 games.
Going for the face…I see you going your own way. And I approve…
March 17th, 2020 at 7:26 am
Mariota is not better than Jameis. His biggest attribute is his mobility and once that’s gone, he’s done.
March 17th, 2020 at 7:27 am
Dave you are a loser you need a life jerk
March 17th, 2020 at 7:45 am
Mariota has a job…..LOL…..
March 17th, 2020 at 7:49 am
Note: none of the starting QBs have announced, with exception of Tannehill, likely waiting on Brady which is probably what the league wants to keep those eyeballs on the league. Some deals are probably already done, but they want us to keep watching and the shows to keep talking, because once these QBs sign, it’s hush season until the draft.
March 17th, 2020 at 8:10 am
I will say this again, but disappointed the Bucs didn’t add a top CB, Safety, or DT yesterday with all this supposed money they have to spend. Today they better show me and others that they are going to find replacements for Suh and others. Yes a QB would be nice and hope this saga doesn’t drag on because tired of hearing about it !! It’s win now and BA and this putrid organization need to show this fan base something. Like I said yesterday Conklin would have been great and they whiffed? Our O line isn’t very good and struggle to protect and open lanes, so they need to address it fast or it’s going to be another disappointing year !! I’m hoping for the best, but the other teams that start with Bs made big time moves yesterday and we tagged Shaq and signed JPP. I just want to see this franchise win because 4 stadium club seats isn’t cheap!!! Please do something!!!
Sincerely
Season ticket holder since 2000
March 17th, 2020 at 8:19 am
I will take Jameis over Rivers at this point.
March 17th, 2020 at 8:24 am
Gofortheface30 though I agree with the 20 interception remark Why don’t you leave you political and sexist views off a football forum……they don’t belong
March 17th, 2020 at 8:54 am
JW is a bust!!!….lol…
GO BUCS!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 9:38 am
Onebuc55- Jameis still has a majority support among but fans. It’s just doesn’t seem like it on JBF commit board because the anti Jameis crowd need lots of attention and love to repeat themselves.
March 17th, 2020 at 10:12 am
@Gofortheface30
Guilty as charged. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a cute face. Besides, I think that the only person that I have said mean things about on this site is Peter King because he deserv.. Nevermind, there’s enough going on in the world, that making fun of Peter King isn’t even worth it.
March 17th, 2020 at 11:08 am
She’s probably right just given the 10 fewer picks but Rivers still looked like an older and somewhat wiser version of Jameis last year.
If we’re going to put the franchise and fanbase through a QB change let’s target Brady (LA is only flight away, Giselle looks great in red) and if that doesn’t work Bridgewater or Dalton. Of course, none of these 3 “fit” the deep vertical Arians offense but he and Leftwich will tweak as necessary. Just don’t pay whoever the QB is so much that you have to hollow out the roster to afford him.
