It's going to be amazing after pats end up punting, Tampa gets in FG range, and he misses again.

For how much TB has fucked up in this game I'm surprised they have a shot. NE has really fallen off this year.

Even if New England gets better as the season goes on, Brady has taken more sacks in 5 games than all of last year. That's gonna add up quick for a 40 year old.

Tampa Bay seems poorly coached after watching that game.

No kidding. A shame for someone with Winston's talent.

The Bucs have a lot of talent for being this bad. It wasn't just this game - they nearly lost to NYG last week. Its a Bucs Life, I guess?

Same kicker missed 2 FG's and an XP in that game as well (although he did make the game winning FG). Point being though, can't be leaving that many points out there b/c of kicking problems and expect to win much.

Don't disagree, but I think this team should be scoring a lot better given their offensive weapons to just blame the kicker. Either Jameis isn't that good of a QB, or our offensive playcalling is just bad or predictable.

Edit: I'm still convinced Jameis is an average to good QB, with a chance to be great, but I think its mostly the coaching staff that isn't elevating him through good coaching or good playcalling.

I didn't get to watch the first 3 quarters last night (was out seeing Blade Runner) so my opinion is skewed. 4th quarter was literally Winston throwing it down the field and only kicker/Brate's drops/penalties preventing them from scoring on 4 straight drives.

FWIW, given the Week 1 cancellation, Tampa's numbers sorta match up with rest of the league (aside from Pats) having played 4 games now. Winston is 3rd in passing yards, behind only Brady (5 games) and Carson Palmer (+29 attempts). 7 TD's to 3 Int's (all of which came against Vikings' pretty good D). You'd want his completion % to come up some, but he's played a couple good D, and really should have a couple more throwing TD that his tight ends have dropped.

I think Winston is a good to very good QB, which a chance to be great. Need to watch more of their games to see what the play calling is like.
