Great games from Littell, Yandy, and J. Lowe. Shout out to Ramirez for the great throw to cut Merrifield down at the plate and to Caminero for extending the 9th and being solid. No confidence at all with the laughable bullpen, but at least the offense woke up again, barely

Another masterful effort from the pitching today....20 runs allowed over the series. Any slim chance at the division completely gone, and a great confidence boost against your likely wild card opponent as well...

As expected, the Bucs have been pretty much dominated on both sides of the ball. They're fortunate it's only 10-3, but I expect it will be ugly by game's end.

Mike Evans stinks out loud tonight. No new contract for him at this rate
Two critical drops in the 1st half that killed what would've been an early drive into Philly territory and a dropped TD that would've made it 7-3. I doubt Tampa wins that game regardless, but for a receiver wanting top 3 at their position money, those mistakes are inexcusable.

Mayfield was late on one of the throws and allowed the defender to get his hand on it. So only one drop and one great catch on the TD drive.

While Mayfield may have been late on the td throw, it hit Evans fine. The defender made a good play to get a hand on it, but if you want 27 million a year, you make that play. The TD late was fine, but the game was over. His earlier blunders changed possible momentum considerably.

I agree Evans dropped some balls but to focus primarily on that is ignoring much bigger problems. Both the O and D lines got dominated all game. The Bucs D got run over and their O still can't run the ball. If Hurts had played reasonably well the Eagles would have won by 25 points. Baker played just Ok and that's him benefiting from Canales calling a very conservative game especially in the 1st half.
Bucs fans got their hopes way to high after they were lucky to beat the Vikings and looked good against an awful Bears team. They are going to have a real challenge to beat the Saints this week.

In 2010 the Bucs went 10-6 beating all of the losing teams on their schedule and losing to all of the winning teams, with several of their wins coming on fluke last minute wins. You kind of had the feeling they weren't as good as their 10-6 record seemed to indicate, and of course the very next season they went 4-12 which was the start of eight losing seasons over their next nine.

This Bucs team, though early, reminds me of that team. 2-0 start against crappy teams and the first winning team we face we looked horrible. Canales is a young OC so it will be another season or two before we really know what we have with him, but Bowles needs to go and the Glazers really need to sell the team. Man U hates them as owners and Bucs fans should as well. Outside of Brady coming here to save their asses for a couple of seasons, this team has done nothing but lose for 15-20 years now. Malcom was a good owner, his children are not and it's obvious. Until they sell this franchise will continue to be a disaster.

I literally began my support for Liverpool FC because of this

I'll never get tired beating the Saints. 3-1 going into the bye week this team is fun to watch. It sucks to lose Evans to a hamstring injury but hopefully it isn't long term.

Bucs could be 5-2 after 7, as Atlanta is a winnable game and then hope to split between Detroit and Buffalo. Impressive win today though. Great defensive effort and Mayfield and the offense did well against a solid Saints defense.

MLB needs better seeding. The stupid ass Astros get a bye but hey the Rays won 9 more games. I love how strong divisions get punished in every sport. I'm happy about a 99 win season but this team has been so rocked by injuries that any kind of win may as well be celebrated


Also proud of the Bucs today. I normally hate early bye weeks but they're banged up too and need it
