People are picking the Bucs because "games are won in the trenches".
It's like they didn't watch the Patriots over the last 10 years, flipping the ball to undersized WR's and RB's in less than 2 seconds while blanketing the field with DB's and rushing 3.
It's like they haven't watched the Chiefs all year, moving the ball at will regardless of who plays OL.
The modern NFL is about matchups, especially individual player matchups. The whole "trenches" argument died years ago.
The stupid thing about this is basing Sunday on the history of pressure from statues like Brady and Manning.
Patrick is mobile and special.
It’s like they didn’t watch the SB last year. [Reply]

Douchey host: SO IT DOESN'T MATTER!?!
:-) I had no opinion on that guy before watching that clip, but now I fucking hate him.
Yeah that's good old "Dumbo ears" Siciliano [Reply]

They are risking everything on these banged up guys and tbh I'm fine with that. We'll see if all of them finish the game on Sunday.
Brown's knee issues remain and he's questionable whilst one of Brady's main guys, Cameron Brate, MISSED practice today with a back injury he sustained yesterday and he's questionable too.
The Bucs would have a steep hill to climb even at full strength... having all these key guys banged up does not bode well for them. [Reply]
My Super Hot Take is we're going to see "weirdness" , and the Buccs will fold under the pressure . Their STs will have a totally shitty game surrendering TDs on KR and PR units. The Tampa offense will be turning it over like crazy and it won't necessarily be all Tom's fault but his teammates will be fumbling the ball or won't make clutch catches and is tipped to Chiefs defender(s) [Reply]

And we let him hit 100 yards in the first game. [Reply]
