Jeez I turned it off after Cousins threw that pick with two minutes left. Can anyone summarize how they hell they tied it up to go to OT?

Refs missed a facemask by a Falcons defender which would have offset a holding penalty. Instead Bucs lose 10 yards and a chance for a FG. Falcons managed to spike the ball with 1 second left to set up a 52 yard FG after they got penalized for delay of game
Yeah. And OUR old uniforms as well.
JFC the purple fade on white roadies are f***ing hideous
That’s one game. Come on man

We haven't really played against much yet. The one solid D we did play kicked the shit out of us. Let's wait and see.

They’ve been easing Coleman in slowly. I think he was up to around ~ 46% snaps last week. Lucas has played the majority of snaps at LT so far - so, let’s see how Coleman progresses over the season. If he becomes the long term solution, then AP is a genius for finding him in the 3rd.
The Browns D with Myles Garrett & co. will be a good test for the OL on Sunday. As well as JD and the whole offense. Fortunately, given Watson’s ongoing implosion, we might only have to score ~ 24 to win.

Shotgun formation w a QB who can tuck and run when the first read isnt there is the biggest reason vs skill set imo.
Im enjoying the moment

Not seeing a ton of one read and run plays myself. Coleman has been very good.
The line as a unit has been much better so far…

We are seeing 100% shotgun formation
We are seeing JD drop back, survey, not throw the ball then run .. half the drop backs turn into QB runs but they are all gains and so smooth .. its great to see bc I thought the O line would handicap our offense
Im just saying .. Andrew Wylie is still Andrew Wylie and if JD goes under center, the LE is going to speed turn that corner before JD completes his drop back
--------------------
Long term plans havent changed imo.
Get a stud LT, move Coleman to RT ... lets go

I guess we’ll see. I think they’ve solved the LT question until a clear upgrade practically falls in their laps.

A little overselling on some of the stats there. There was at least 1 highlight play from last week under center. (Notable because I thought, "hey, he's under center there.")
And the half his dropbacks turning into runs is wildly hyperbolic. Week 1, yes, week 2, less so, but he was also under fire from a fearsome front from NYG. Weeks 3 and 4, he's dropped back to pass with a couple of unscheduled scrambles, but vast majority being throws (and 82.5% of those throws being completions.)
I agree that we need to invest more in the OL going forward, but we shouldn't understate the job they've done so far, especially in the last 2 weeks.
The first 2 weeks looked like a clear breaking-in/adjustment period -- which makes sense, given the starting O played almost no snaps together in the pre-season. Since then, they seem to have jelled as an entire unit with blocking schemes understood and executed, resulting in the machine we're enjoying.
The next 2 weeks are going to tell us a lot about the whole unit, but especially the OL. Are they as good as they looked against AZ? Probably not. Are they as bad as they looked against NYG? Probably not. If the OL shows well there, then maybe we can start dreaming about a draft pick in the 20s, and the ability to use it on BPA and not BLTA.

He was good but he was also lucky. TB managed the clock terribly and for some reason played a soft zone for most of the game, with tackling that looked like a WFT game film.Where’s the Cousins adoration?

Another one that needs to come back for good instead of the trend toward unis that look like they came from an XFL estate sale.
