Rapid response Buc’s lose to the Lions week 7

[Deja Entendu]

Absolutely gutted about Mike. He can’t go out like that.

[Central_Buc]

We never got to see, Meka, Evans, Godwin, McMillan, Tez on the field at the same time.

We never will.

Maybe next year if Evans comes back.

[Backside]

We thought EE was a luxury pick and he’s undisputed WR1 going forward before the halfway point

[BucsNBills]

Honestly with Mike getting fucked out of his 1k, I'm kind of checked out of the season now.

Injuries ruined what could've been been an amazing season.

Glad I enjoyed those first six weeks, was fun to have legit MVP talks.

[__Chef__]

Honestly I saw

a. Baker misses constantly
b. Turnovers, back to back
c. Otton missing by millimeters
d. Field Goal good off the post
e. Evans drop into injury

Yes there was bad but honestly shit just wasn’t going our way tonight. Regroup and move on

Speaking of, we played the Lions at the Lions last year, week 2. How do the schedule makers determine this rematch should be in their stadium again this year?

Extra ****ing salty considering we lost Mike due to their ****ty field.

This cannot be a serious question. It just can't.

Casual fan label accepted ... how is this determined?

I'm this close too ... only thing keeping some glimmer of hope is the rest of the receiving room showing signs of hope.

Good God.

As has been the case since the Texans got into the league in 2002 and realignment happened, opponents are determined YEARS in advance by certain formulas. In this instance, the formula is division winners. We faced the Lions on the road, the other division winner we faced is the Eagles at home. The Rams don't factor into this formula because we face the entire NFC West.

Kind of interesting to me that you had nothing to say about us playing the Eagles 3 years in a row in Tampa OR the 49ers 2 years in a row in Tampa. And guess what? We play the NFC North next year and we go back to Detroit because the last time we played their division they came here. It rotates.

They beat us in Tampa 3 years ago

[Bootz]

Oh BTW, we are now 4th in playoff standings. @Phantom you got a post for that?

[Bootz]

The NFC South is the only division in which every team has a negative point differential. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[Phantom]

The NFL will provide an update on the playoff standing after the Texans- Seahawks game, but I will still share the post regardless. I did this same thing last year...

[13F11B]

And... could be back in first place next week. Interesting that you bust on people for posting a graphic by doing the same bullshit you complained about.

Typical for you though.

Yes, now you see how stupid it is to start counting playoff seeding in October. That's the reason I posted that comment at him.

Way too early to give a damn at where you're currently seeded.

I get the opponent faced is determined years in advance, but how is the location determined?

I'm gonna ask you to defer to Google and namely the league website. I dont have time to explain something that's been in effect for the last 23 years and most who follow the league are fully aware of just because you want to raise some ridiculous conspiracy theory.

[Doctor]

Offense has 13 possessions? Could've fooled me. Kudos defense.

That's 3 posts and a lot of typing to avoid answering the question and deferring to "Google it".

If it were a legitimate question, I'd entertain you. You're asking something that, again, has been part of the leagues scheduling formula since 2002 and You're the only one .asking because we lost. I should've just bypassed your dumbass question.

[CantonJester]

Yeah. My takeaway (Evans withstanding) is that a more competently run offense would've put up 40 points on the Bucs tonight.

[Doctor]

Baker was very off today. Gotta shake that off and get back to the level he can play at. That's gonna be on Grizz. You want that HC job? Now is the time to show up.

Goff wasnt all that sharp tonight himself. That's what limited them. Gibbs was all-world and our defense had zero answers for him.

Lions D- 12 PBUs
Bucs D- 2 PBUs

[Pirate Life]

Considering the week 7 MNF last year and this one, if we get scheduled for one again next year Bucs need to consider forfeiting. Might be healthier.

Ironic that we lost Godwin for the season week 7 MNF and this year we lose Evans.

[__Chef__]

Lions D- 12 PBUs
Bucs D- 2 PBUs

Lions DC = future HC

That's what I was talking about earlier this offseason about our position coaches being lackluster and the need to find the next Raheem Morris, Mike Tomlin, DeMeco Ryans. Looks like the Lions found theirs with literal 3rd and 4th stringers, and we got ... well ... whatever that was.

They let their guys play man and be aggressive. Could afford to because of the pressure on the right side - that and Mayfield didn't hit the WRs when they did beat their guys. Their secondary was playing without pressure on them. If they gave up big plays, no one would blame them because no one but them believed in themselves. They were absolutely abysmal in zone last week against the Chiefs, rarely played zone tonight.

[__Chef__]

They had pressure across the board because they develop their guys. Our DL has been lackluster because they don't develop guys, and Bowles doesn't fire/replace anybody for "not good enough" performance.

They walked into this game like they walked into the offseason ... comfortable. And they just got punched in the face.

A competent 3Q by the DET offense and the game is over. I dunno. Total selfish bias here, but I felt like we hung around longer than we should've. Especially with a QB who I'm pretty sure didn't throw one good pass all game (some were OK, some were bad, some were W T F).

WTF? Yea it really does suck, but they have been doing it with out Mike and Godwin. Go to sleep, and re-think this. I guess you can go back to the Bills now.

Left side held up pretty well most of the game actually until the 4th quarter outside of a play or two. Looked bad because of how fast things broke down with the RG/RT - usually because of Hutchison. Our DL actually had a pretty good game, knocked Goff off of his game but he didn't miss the open throws like Mayfield did.

Lions were also jacked up over the game the prior week. The entire team had a Mayfield-sized chip on their shoulder between the perceived officiating issues against the Chiefs, what they felt was an unwarranted suspension for Branch and the return of their #2 DT. So was their crowd.

And I don't think we walked into the game comfortable, look at White's first run. He punished the guy who tried to tackle him. Next play was a pass, Heck got pushed back by Hutchison and Mayfield was seeing ghosts on his right side the rest of the night (granted, the ghost was usually Hutchison...)

Game absolutely sucked for us sure. Defensively, I'd put it on Bowles more than the position coaches. Had the secondary playing soft coverage a lot when everyone back there was healthy, didn't figure out how to counter the Lions running right where Vea would be when we pulled him out for a snap or two (that 78 yarder never happens if Vea's in imo).

He repeats this behavior every time the Bucs lose, and he always come back .

Your overall point is valid, but Branch absolutely deserved a suspension. That was a straight up cold-cock. You don't do that.
