August 23rd, 2024 at 7:26 pm
If they come out flat, I’m gonna be a little annoyed. Yes, it’s preseason, but coming out flat has been an issue with this team.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:26 pm
Kevin King gets burned for a TD. It’s nice to know some things never change.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:27 pm
What do y’all think? Baker Mayfield/Mike Evans/Levante David going to want us to super bowl this year?
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:29 pm

Where can I get one of the sweet, sweet Buccaneers lapel pins that Chris and Ronde are wearing?
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:33 pm
You guys know you don’t need cable or streaming to watch this… just plug the old rabbit ears into your TV and it will pick it right up.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:34 pm
Looks like one is a Dolphins feed and the other is a Bucs feed.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:35 pm
Started reading the comments…..hmm. Stepping back from the ledge is recommended.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:36 pm

Cause he’s Mike Evans, a future HOFer, and doesn’t need to play. He’s fine.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:43 pm
First team offense on point.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:43 pm
What a change of pace with all the starters! Looks like football!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:43 pm
JM is a monster!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:45 pm
Man does McMillin look like Godwin.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:45 pm
Love the throw to McMillan, great grab. But the big thing is getting the PUSH on 3rd and 1 early in the drive. I feel like we got stopped SO often. Also, TD OPENING DRIVE. Let’s GO!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
YES PERFECT OPENING DRIVE, SPECTACULAR PLAY CALLING, PERFECT RUNNINGBACK AND QUARTERBACK PLAY! GET ON THE BANDWAGON NOW, SUPER BOWL IS INCOMING!!!!
#TEAMPOSITIVE!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
We are going to be so good!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
Offensive line looks so much better
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
We can pull the starters on offense I seen enough. Get them read for the commanders
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
Barton moving bodies.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
Wow a opening drive td
Holy crap
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
What’s this, an opening drive touch down good mixture of run and pass and play action. I dig it
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:46 pm
Is Miami playing their starters, are was that opening drive just due to going against a bunch of scrubs?
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:47 pm
Barton Ballin on opening drive
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:47 pm
Probably wont see the first team offense again ☹️
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:47 pm
It’s gonna be a great season.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:48 pm
Barton Ballin, White running the ball better thus far
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:48 pm
Coaches should have a pregame agreement to match first team against first team. The drive was great, but against no Miami starters on defense.
Hard to make a rational judge against backups.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:48 pm
So much different with Barton in there. Get him and mauch out in space for screen plays
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:48 pm
Oh… looking at the tackle numbers… these were 2nd and 3rd stringers.
Still, better to look good vs the scrubs than not look good, but doesn’t tell us much.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:49 pm
@Rod, yeah it’s the backups on Miami D.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:49 pm
@joe….. RW1 looks great right now! So we should count him out?
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:49 pm
Playing against backups or not, that was a solid opening drive
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:50 pm
Great D
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:51 pm
#37 we saw enough of him last week
Get him out
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:52 pm
Ughh here comes boring kyle trask 😒
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:52 pm
My got Vea trucked that guy
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:52 pm
And no Tua or starting Miami offense. Damn.
Just pull our starters and stay healthy.
This game is meaningless personified … unless you’re trying to make one of the teams, that is.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:52 pm
Wow, are they joking – that’s it for the starters already? Can you imagine buying tickets for this game after being told the starters would play – and you get one series vs backups.
Unbelievable.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:53 pm
Give the starters one more drive each and pull em
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:53 pm
Vita! OMG LOL!!!!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:53 pm
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Bucs score in the first drive. Go Bucs!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:53 pm
starters rolled em, sit em and bring on the commies!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:54 pm
Barton and Mauch pushed those dudes around like bulldozers! D cleaned up! Goood job starters, see you game 1!
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:54 pm
Rod munch your either always complaining or being a sarcastic troll. Give it a rest already. Why risk any possible injury if we don’t need to. Opening drive looked good, scored a td. Let’s be happy about it
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:54 pm
Rod Munch, was thinking the same thing.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:55 pm
Umm Vita forklift the & $#! Out of that guy. So did Logan, wow he is stronger.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:56 pm
Munch—
Those tickets go for $5 outside.
You’d go far broker buying a beer.
However, the parsimonious crowd is demanding their money back as we speak.
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:57 pm
Cut trask
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:57 pm
If something happends too trask at least will see baker again as wolford is out for the game
August 23rd, 2024 at 7:58 pm
Man trask is a dud

August 23rd, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Banks has a neck like Mike Glennon.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Banks got a pop to him.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:01 pm
Oh get up your dramaqueen. You can always tell the players on the bubble, they’re the ones that stay down after big hits so they can at least get an injury settlement instead of getting cut with no payoff.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:02 pm
Who just layed that guy out lmao what a play
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:03 pm
Well, at least we finally know for sure about Trask.
I’m out…tuned in to see starters and they yanked them after a single series. May as well have let them be with their families and have the night off.
Bowles lost points with me tonight. I would have understood a quarter, but not a series. Ball-less Bowles.
Later!!!!

———-
Hopefully he’s ready to go since the likelihood of Baker being healthy for two seasons in a row is pretty unlikely. Not rooting against him at all, just the reality of his career says he’s going to get hurt at some point.
For Trask, when you’re gameplanning and playing with Evans and Godwin, and the starting offensive line, it’s a different game. I wouldn’t take much from preseason for anyone.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:08 pm
There’s a Sack for Braswell. Hope that eases Joe up some
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:10 pm
And if a starter got injured y’all would be roasting Todd’a nuts. Guy can’t win
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:10 pm
Trash is on fire.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:11 pm

August 23rd, 2024 at 8:12 pm

August 23rd, 2024 at 8:12 pm
Bucs 95 you ever offer substance or just Trask hatred?
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:14 pm
Miss tackle #37
Big gain
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:14 pm
Dammit I totally missed the start of the game! (Still at work)
Did we score on our 1st drive?
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:15 pm
Biggest takeaway from this thread so far is that the starters looked good, in synch!
And that Rod Munch really needs attention.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:15 pm
Baker Boi(s) want every QB that isn’t Baker off the roster because they view everyone as a threat to take his job. It’s very odd that they’re so scared of that while at the same time telling everyone how Baker is better at this point of his career than Brady or Brees, yet they’re worried about a guy who played like one half of football in 3 years.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:16 pm

First drive was amazing, opened with running it up the middle three times in a row.
Actually, it was great, they moved right down the field – but it was against the Dolphins backups so its hard to take much from it, but they moved the ball at ease.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:16 pm
Nevermind I read the comments. Cool!
Guessing it was only 1 drive for the starters?
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:16 pm
Trask a threat 🤣😂
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:17 pm
#37? Again.? He stunk up the secondary last week in Jax.
Bless him
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:17 pm
Oh Dolphins didn’t play any starters at all?
Meh.
Alright well still good to have the starters take a couple hits before real football starts. We’ll see how effective Camp Cupcake was I guess in a few weeks…
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:17 pm
Man, I need yours to carry over for Bucky, kid’s on to something!
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:18 pm

Yep, one 3-minute drive is all the starters need to get ready for the season, according to Todd Bowles.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:21 pm
Bucky is so quick with those cuts. Again, wish we’d see him vs non-scrubs, but I think his skills will translate. Vision plus quickness is an excellent combo for RBs.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Bucs score in the first drive. Go Bucs
At least score a TD on the first drive. Last first drive TD was Preseason Game 3. Mayfield took them down on 6 of 6 passing and threw a touchdown.
Game 1 when he had to put on his big boy pants first 5 drives were 3 three and outs, 1 four play drive and a punt, 1 four play drive for zero yards after defense gave them the ball in Viking territory.for a Field goal.
I have seen nothing different than 2023 yet. Three weeks and week two I’ll know.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:25 pm
Nice drive Kyle given the scrubs you’re playing with! Next drive TD!
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:27 pm
Fanofthesouth, false unfortunately. You saw an opening drive TD. When did you see that in 2023?
lol it’s preseason, I know 😘
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:28 pm
Kick coverage looks grim today..
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:28 pm
In the regular season, just kick it through the end zone. This new kickoff rule has no benefits for the kicking team.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:29 pm
Braswell would picked that
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:30 pm
So Baker plays with the starters and throws two dink and dunks and one to the sideline and that’s it? LMAO
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:30 pm
Backups are looking better today.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:31 pm
Hell yeah D, I don’t care if it’s against scrubs
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:31 pm
BS
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:32 pm
Wuuuuuutttt, that’s some BS
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:32 pm
That QB pulled the ball down and it was stripped
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:32 pm
Tuck rule?
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:32 pm
WHAT the F?! That’s not a pass.
Refs in regular season form.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:32 pm
His arm was going foward
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:33 pm
THAT was a fumble!
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:33 pm
Bowles was laughing, he really doesn’t care.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:33 pm
Laughing at the call
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:34 pm
Still great play.
Good to see these youngsters getting after it.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:38 pm
Trask staring down a receiver almost got sacked
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:38 pm
Why on 4th and inches are they in shotgun?
Come out in goalline and QB sneak it or run it, or playaction. I hate shotgun on 4th and really short, takes away the run.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:40 pm
Trask!
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:41 pm
Ryan Miller, K. Johnson and C. Thompson are making it a tough contest.

They’re saying on TV that Johnson is made the team.
For Cody, I guess he’ll make the team, but I don’t really get it. Sure, he’s good vs the scrubs, but the guy has been around for 6 years, has one catch. I don’t see a breakout at that age, and I can’t believe anyone would take him off the Bucs if he was on the practice squad. But we shall see, not rooting against him, but I just see a guy who looks good vs future FedEx employees, not someone who is going to get open on Sundays.

PASSER RATINGS
Kyle Trask 115.2
Baker Mayfield 118.8
_________________
Given that Mayfield played with the starters and Trask is playing with backups, Trask is the better quarterback so far today.

We’re keeping 7wrs
They have plans for Johnson. Kid needs a new number
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:44 pm
Buc95. It doesn’t matter what Trask does it will never be good enough to you Baker fan boys lol 🤣🤣. Baker was a one read quarterback all last year but he’s a hall of famer in your eyes 👀 lol 🤣🤣!! I can’t wait until the season starts only 2 more weeks.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:44 pm
Probably try to squeeze them on the PS but they’ll be snatched up. We can’t keep that many receivers. They are good though!

That’s a fair point – we’ll have to wait for the QBR to be calculated to know for sure on who to keep.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:47 pm
I agree about the fact we’re playing backups, but we looked very well coached.

So far
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:48 pm
You girls are seeing why Mayfield refused to rest in game 17 last season when he was injured. He knows what Trask will do with the starting offensive line and Evans and Godwin running wild.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:49 pm
It still bothers me that Will Gholston, a guy who’s been a Buc since Schiano is being treated like camp meat in these preseason games
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:50 pm
Just remember it’s preseason folks. The scores and stats mean nothing mostly.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:53 pm

Then why don’t you support your favorite team’s backup QB who has been playing well and very well may be needed this season? I’ll tell you why. Because either you’re just a Baker Boi from Oklahoma or you’re an FSU fan who can’t stand anything and everything from U Florida. 100%.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:53 pm

I saw more this week from Gholston, just sounds like he really wants the snaps vs different players – doesn’t sound like he’s on the bubble or anything. Sounds like if he wasn’t insisting on playing, they’d sit him – hopefully that’s all it is.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:54 pm
Shelly just praying for the downfall of baker lol. Trask is doing his work with second and third stringers, can’t take anything from it, just like you can’t take anything from baker playing against the 2nd stringers. Why can’t you just accept the fact that trask can be a very serviceable back up qb to baker and cheer for both guys? And baker didn’t sit because it’s who he is to his own detriment. He’s a baller and wants to be on the field.

Onielbuc, back with the baker hate. Why can’t I like baker starting and like trask as a back up qb. We look really decent at the majority of positions on the field. Season starts and you get to see baker do work and trask hand baker the water bottle after scoring a touchdown.
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:56 pm
I think trask is a good back up qb. But there are numb nuts in here that literally want to see baker get hurt. Let’s just cheer for the team no matter who’s out there
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:56 pm
I was on board with trask 2021 2022 ive seen enough hes not it i thought he killed it his senoir year at florida and make kyle pitts who he is
August 23rd, 2024 at 8:56 pm
The issue is that the Trask cult didnt support Baker for all of last season,
Archives are available, shelly

Don’t get me wrong I like seeing good tape being made, but the real deal is when Trask gets his shot if and when that happens.

August 23rd, 2024 at 8:59 pm
I don’t know why some of y’all can’t root for Kyle Trask when he’s playing like do Baker Mayfield?? Baker is the starter we all know it so you don’t have to be afraid when Trask plays good. Bowles will rather lose with Baker than win with Trask . Bowles didn’t draft Kyle Trask so we went with Baker even though Trask was better last year with the starters. If Baker plays bad he will be the starter as long as Bowles is the HC . Now if Bowles get fired I can promise you the next coach ain’t keeping Baker Mayfield as his long term answer. He’s going to draft his own quarterback he’s not going to be link to Baker Mayfield just like Bowles done Trask .
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:00 pm
Munch i could say the same thing with you and mayfiled you dont support him you just do too troll lol

August 23rd, 2024 at 9:00 pm
Are the Dolphins okay? There have been like 8 of them who have gone down today. Camp Creampuff seems to have helped keep the Bucs upright at least.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:03 pm
Chad. Every one on here supported Baker Mayfield last year just like I will support him this year. But I will never put on rose color glasses for him or any other player on the team.

——–
I hated the stupid Trask Tools as well a few years ago when those morons were talking about him being better than Brady – just like I hate the idiot Baker Boi(s) who talk about him being better than Brady.
I just have a general hatred for all stupid people, no matter what they’re being stupid about.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:07 pm
Rod nobody said Trask was better than Brady. Let’s not be ridiculous.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:07 pm

Are the Dolphins okay? There have been like 8 of them who have gone down today. Camp Creampuff seems to have helped keep the Bucs upright at least.
——–
The Dolphins are such cupcakes they didn’t even play their starters tonight – so that’s a bad argument for being soft.
But why are they all going down? It’s called injury settlement. If you can stay down for a minute or two, you can claim injury and get a settlement, as opposed to just getting cut with no settlement. I’m sure we’ll see future Wendy’s employees on the Bucs doing that as well in the 2nd half.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:08 pm
I can tell you one thing i dont think mayfield is better then brady 🤣
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:09 pm
Baker is better than the 2022 version of Brady thats a fact
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:11 pm
Rod, nobody in the history of internet comments has ever said Baker is better than Tom Brady, anytime you see that they are referring to Bradys washed year at age 45.

I was here, I remember arguing with those idiots, and yes, there were tons of them mad when Brady unretired and said the Bucs needed to move on and play Trask because he’s better, etc.
Trask had spend 2 years learning how to thrown an NFL football as his soft rainbow passes he threw in college were never going to work in the NFL.
With that said, Trask has improved greatly in terms of throwing the football. I think if Baker gets hurt and he has a full week to prepare for a game that he’ll do OK. Also I think he’s going to play for a long time in the NFL, probably never be a star or anything, but will just stick around sort of like Mike Glennon who lasted 8 years.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:16 pm
Rod, Baker was 100% an upgrade from a washed Tom Brady in 2022.
That doesnt mean that Baker is a better quarterback than Brady cause Brady is literally the greatest QB of all time.
Dont play dumb, every great QB has a washed year like Drew Brees and Peyton Manning did

You literally just said Baker is better than Brady… literally, just one post before. You can read that yourself.
Also, even if you’re talking about 2022 Brady vs 2023 Baker, you’re still wrong.
Brady, QBR 2022 – 54.6
Baker, QBR 2023 – 54.3
Oh wait, but QBR skews to the running QB so that must by why Baker lose the matchup…
There’s literally nothing Baker has ever done that should ever be compared to Brady, and this is why the Baker Boi(s) bring on so much hatred for themselves. Never ever ever should you mention a player like Baker in the same sentence as the best to ever play the game.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:18 pm
Rod, you litterally can’t comprehend basic sentences.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:19 pm
Is Baker Mayfield better than 2022 Brady? Yes
Is he better than a prime Brady? No cause no person who has ever picked up a a football is.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:21 pm
And yeah Brady racking up all those garbage time stats in 2022 was super impressive
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:24 pm
That’s a pick but I don’t expect them to overturn it.

LOL! He wasn’t better.
Brady, 4694 yards, 25 TDs, 9 INTs, 54.6 QBR
Baker, 4044 yards, 28 TDs, 10 INTs, 54.4 QBR
Brady had to play with Leftwich, who is literally out of the NFL he’s so terrible, while Baker had Canales, who was a huge upgrade, and is now a head coach – and even with that Baker STILL lost the head to head matchup.
And again, there’s no reason to ever ever mention a Baker in the same sentence as Brady. Baker was middling last year, nothing special, and you’re talking about him being superior to the greatest to ever play the game.
Again, this is why the Baker Boi(s) bring so much hatred on themselves.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:25 pm
Rod I also watched baker win a playoff game last season and seen Brady lose a playoff game the season before. I mean are we just looking up qbr only to determine who was better a washed up Brady or a determined baker looking to prove himself. Tom brady is the greatest, baker will never be the better qb for their careers. I mean Brady’s kryptonite is Eli manning though. But other than that Brady is just phenomenal
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:26 pm
Man, some terrible tackling tonight. But that’s what you get when you’re not tackling in practice.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:28 pm
Gonna be hard to Cut Cody Thompson or Ryan Miller.
Whos our 6 WRs?
Evans, Godwin, McMillan,
The whos the Other 3?
Keon Johnson, Cody Thompson, Ryan Miller?

Really, cause I saw Baker choke in the biggest moment of his career. Ask the Lions if they’d rather have faced Brady or Baker on that last drive.
BTW, the Eagles literally had a historic collapse. They were 1-6 in their final 7 games, with the only win vs the awful Redskins team.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:29 pm
Rod, maybe someday you’ll find out that 28 TDs is more than 25.
And literally the only reason Brady threw for more yards is cause the Bucs lead the league in pass attempts by a mile that year.
Every game Brady played in in 22 was a punt fest, most people with eyes can see that Baker was a clear upgrade from a old disinterested Brady
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:30 pm
Crazy in here this evening this fan base is all over the place. Go bucs
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:30 pm
And also Rod, maybe someday you’ll learn who the OC and play caller was when the Bucs won a superbowl in 2020

No you don’t cut Palmer.
Johnson was already told he’s made the team, according to TV.
I’d assume Jarrett has made the team as well, although perhaps I’m wrong.
As for Cody and Ryan Miller, just cut them both, neither is anything special and neither could get open on Sundays. In any case no one is picking them off the PS, so just put them there if you want to keep them.
The final spot should go to Shepard if he’s healthy. The guy can be a legit #3 and a real weapon as a #4 if he can stay healthy. It’s a big but, obviously.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:34 pm
Rod it’s cool to bring up baker making a big mistake in the lions game, why over look Brady barely throwing 50 percent against the cowboys with a qbr of 25.4. Brady threw the ball 66 times. I mean Brady didn’t play any better than baker did against the lions. But why can’t you just admit baker was better for the Bucs last season than Brady was for the Bucs the season before?
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:36 pm
“why can’t you just admit baker was better for the Bucs last season than Brady was for the Bucs the season before?”
Because the logical part of Rod Munchs brain is broken
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:36 pm
Capt. Tim. I agree trask looks pretty good. Definitely a good back up qb to have on the squad.

———-
The Cowboys defense was 6th in the NFL and 3rd in sacks in 2022 – and Brady had Leftwich calling the plays, which means the Cowboys knew every play that was called before the game even started.
The Lions meanwhile were what, 29th in pass defense? I mean there’s a reason that they traded for Davis afterall.
But, all I said was who do you think the Lions wanted to see on that field with the game on the line? I can tell you – they wanted to see Baker Mayfield, not Tom Brady, not even the Jan 2024 version of Brady who hadn’t played in a year.
Again, no one should ever never ever bring up a middling QB like Baker when talking about Tom Brady. This is what brings on the hatred. If people just said, hey Baker had a nice year last year, hopefully he can improve, there literally wouldn’t be any pushback to that. But it’s not, it’s ‘dunking’ on Brady, comparing Baker to Drew Brees, just stupid stuff like that.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:40 pm
The team was better in 23, by a little bit, regardless of your feelings about the QB.

According to every single thing I read – in practice Shepard looked amazing, was the 3rd best guy on the field, including being head of McMillan (which is expected as he’s a rookie – and Shepard was a really really good player).
Again, just a question of health, if he’s good to go or not. In any case, no one is wasting a roster spot to pick Cody or Ryan off the Bucs PS, so you just keep those guys there and hope, pray to Jesus, you never need to call them up. Certainly not Cody, who has had a very nice preseason, but he’s been around for 6 years, has 1 catch.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:44 pm
I’m not choosing receivers, but if you are hurt all the time, then you are washed up. Literally never heard that he was “amazing ” til just now. Highly unlikely.
August 23rd, 2024 at 9:45 pm
The offense improved in 23, the defense took a giant step back by replacing a very stout safety in Mike Edwards with future subway employee Ryan Neal.

Let me rephrase that, he was very very good early on, looked like he was on the way to a great career.
But I agree, if he’s hurt, then you cut him. I’m just saying if he’s ready to go, you keep him. The team practices so little, who knows what the real status is of anyone.
In any case you’re talking about a 6th WR, and hopefully that person never plays.

They vastly improved.
But I will agree, they’d have improved a lot more without that moron Neal single handedly giving up a bunch of long TDs.

Defense gave up a ton of yards, but were able to get a bunch of redzone stops, at least keeping opposing teams to FGs in any case.

What a dime, Trask is a superior passer than Mayfield. If Mayfield comes out of a game due to an injury he ain’t ever going back in.

Trask 119.3

But for a guy with no starting experience he looks pretty good.
When given a chance he will do well.
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:07 pm
Still can’t cover
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:07 pm
Chad. When Baker played good I gave him his credit and when he played bad I said it . It’s to many people of his fans want to act like Baker was great and he wasn’t. Look take this year if he plays good I will say he played good and if he plays bad I’m going to say he played bad ain’t nothing wrong with that and that doesn’t mean I’m not a real bucs fan. Some of the people on here are only here for Baker Mayfield they don’t care nothing about the bucs. I’m a bucs fan I don’t care about the players more than I do the bucs.
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:11 pm
There’s a lot to like about Mayfield. But he’s not perfect. Can you win a Super Bowl with him? Let’s find out.

OK final minutes of the game… who is going to fake an injury to get the injury settlement.
Put your bets in now.

Jack Burton. That’s a good a point bro and I agree with you on that but I all I ask is just be honest on what you see . If he’s plays good give him his credit and when he plays bad just admit it go on it’s ok . You don’t have to put on blinders to be a real bucs fan. That’s been my whole point!!

The longest 5 minutes football – the final 5 minutes of the final preseason game as people fake injuries and they have to keep stopping the game.

O’Neil! I’m always honest but also always full of snark. Sadly not always right. Nah, I am always right.
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:20 pm
I think these guy pocket like an extra $5k or $10k for faking an injury – and they don’t make jack in the preseason, so that’s good money. I wouldn’t even doubt that some coaches pull guys they like to the side and tell them to lay down in the final minutes of the game since they’re never going to make it in the NFL and that’s the only pay day they’ll ever see.
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:20 pm

August 23rd, 2024 at 10:27 pm
Rod and Onielsucks love to throw out meaningless stats without any context.
Playing against bums like Will Levis, Justin Fields and Bryce Young last season brought the PPG down
The run defense fell off a cliff, pass rush and Shaq Barrett were non existent and they blew several games singlehandly bettween the Texans 39 point meltdown ,
Falcons and Colts game.

So asking the AI what players would get as part of an injury settlement, even if they’re an UDFA on a min wage contract … they’d get… $44k for each week. So if a groin injury was going to keep them out for 3 weeks of real football, even if they had no chance of making the team, they’d still pocket $132k.
Damn, for that, ouch my groin… and my head, and back, and hamstring… and liver!
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:41 pm
I’ve never looked into this before, but I did know teams don’t play guys for the preseason, so I was wondering how the camp meat even survive as I assume most don’t have any money, and they’re not making any income. However, the scrubs do get a per diem – which I thought might be like $50 or something for food, but it’s actually $2000/week. So they are making like $12k for 6 weeks of camp, that’s not too bad, considering the team is also giving them food and housing as well.
That is according to the AI, so it could be correct or the AI just made it up, no way of knowing.
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:53 pm
Gracias el fanatico Bucaneros de Jose! Football is life!
August 23rd, 2024 at 10:58 pm
Trask played well after a few bad decisions in the first few drives and has shown he can be a decent backup qb if Baker gets roughed up for a couple of weeks. I now feel better about the fact thatTrask should be able to hold it down for a few weeks.
August 23rd, 2024 at 11:09 pm
Munch, give your fingers a break!!!

August 24th, 2024 at 4:00 am
Everyone who is worried that our starters hardly played this preseason (undeniably they looked good when they were in) don’t forget who we play in week one. The commanders will provide us a nice opportunity to win our fourth preseason game except it will count as a win in the regular season standings! Then we’ll definitely be in regular season form ready to go! LFG BUCS!!!
August 24th, 2024 at 5:14 am
I am always late to the party!
It was a great game. Enjoyed watching Grier, Brown, Tucker, Bucky, Knue, Barton, White, and so many others. Loved seeing Evans, Godwin, Baker, Winfield, and others talking, smiling, and having fun. Coen is doing a great job. Trask did pretty well. All the interviews with Ronde’ and Chris were awesome. It’s all coming together! Go Bucs!!
August 24th, 2024 at 7:27 am
Shane Callahan Says: “the Traskers on this site say that Trask outplayed Baker”
Well, they both finished with very high passer ratings, Baker slightly higher than Kyle, however Baker did it playing only one series with the starters, whereas Kyle did it over essentially a full game playing with backups and camp meat, so that argument can be made.
