Bucs got the best rush defense in the league, a really good pass rush and a suspect secondary. We've got a suspect line so Justin is going to have to get in on the quick passing game if we're going to have a shot.

This isn't his strength just yet but it's a good gauge at how he's progressed since the Browns game.

Rumor is that the Dolphins are trading for Watson with this tweet being the latest part:

Tua to the WFT and the Texans stocking up on draft picks.

Not sure how to read Houston’s response to rejecting Tua, but vote of confidence for Davis Mills. He's been solid, and is pretty much on par with the QBs taken above him.

JF stats aren’t sexy right now but the tools accuracy intangibles and toughness are there. He needs to get used to NFL defenses and game speed. I personally expect a diff JF and Bears offensive by week 7-8.

That was a good signing for the Bills. Just surround him with good talent and a solid O-line, and let the other teams speculate for themselves. He's probably never going to be an above average QB, but someone is going to bite.

No chance with Quinn out wth COVID.

offense does well, win turnover battle by at least 2 (including a pick 6 or strip sack deep in TB territory)?

tall order

Gonna need Brady to forget what Down it is again to have a shot to take it lol

his additional focus against a much inferior team this season will be the price for the win last season

Bears are going to get slaughtered today I'm afraid. Plus the Bucs will want revenge for last season.

Pro tip--Brady has all the bears defensive tricks--they are gonna win big.

My nephew works at Dunkin and showed me a receipt for a "Tom B" with 12 item order- I will post it as proof later when I figure where I can upload

There where 12 items (1 item for each offensive player and 1 for the ball deflater guy--and I also found out Tom is a 5 pump pumpkin spice type of guy--I mean who else could it be?)

Anyway--add it up--it can only mean they broke into Desai's house and stole everything--just like the old Pats days.

A grim anniversary. I remember watching this game as a kid, and not really getting the gravity of what was unfolding:

50 years ago, Detroit Lions’ Chuck Hughes died of heart attack during game

Bears are ravaged by COVID. 5th string tackle today, Hicks, Quinn and Gipson are all out.

Even Gipson. Well. Not much to say about this. The Bears should still run the ball, and not get Justin killed in a lost cause

Dresden · Post #1176 » by **Dresden** » Sun Oct 24, 2021 6:45 pm

TN beating KC 27-0. Mahomes has a QBR of 33. That team is just not the same this year.

Eh, TB has the best running defense in the NFL, they're not going to be able to get anything going on the ground and would play into TBs hands by having 2nd/3rd & long. If Justin can play the quick hitting passing game, we're going to be able to move the ball.

Good opportunity for development here. Also, I'm pretty sure that there's going to be a good chunk of Bears fans in Tampa. Cleveland was rowdy, Tampa won't be as bad.

Tampa is without AB/Gronk. Brown has been their best WR thus far this year but they still have Evans, Godwin, Scotty Miller and OJ Howard.

Good call on second down. No max pro. Has to be Nagy again

Susan · Post #1179 » by **Susan** » Sun Oct 24, 2021 8:48 pm

This is gunna be a long one.

Dresden · Post #1180 » by **Dresden** » Sun Oct 24, 2021 8:49 pm

He had Arob open there, just overthrew him. Must have been a Nagy play....
