North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
1. If Daks return can’t inspire nikkas to get ONE stop. Nothing will.

2. it would be easy to bash the secondary, but the defensive line cost them. Aside from that Tank fumble, the defensive line was ass. Urban shouldn’t even be on the 53. Ugly Baby kept taking himself out of plays. Everybody else is doo doo on passing downs. Parsons shouldn’t have been used as a pass rusher that much.


Even without a running game, the offense controlled the clock and scored points. The defense simply gave up too many scores in a short period of time.


Anthony Brown needs to be cut. He’s a veteran corner, the most veteran on the team, being outplayed by a second year player. Where the pride?

Only issue I had with Dak is the pass he threw to Zeke that lead him out of bounds. Those are the kinda throws that win/lose games. Just lead him to the end zone and its a different game. Instead his inconsistent football placement got the best of him.

And lol at Dan Quinn. Gio fukking Bernard is in the game. Of course they are going to open up with a dumpoff to him to start the drive.

We didnt play plenty of teams tonight we played the defending champs. They were 3 for 3 on td’s in the redzone. So yea, when the other team is doing that you do have to convert turnovers to touchdowns.

We played the defending champs to a 1 possession game in the last 1:24 weauxdie

With a missed PAT, a missed FG, and no run game (meaning no clock control at all whatsoever)

Pat Mahomes put up NINE POINTS on this defense dawg

Dak put up 29!!!!! And it should have been 32!

Like literally we should have won this game if not for a missed 31 yard FG

I dont understand how you look past the secondary getting cooked, the interior offensive line falling apart late, and the abysmal special teams play and say "we should have just scored more points"

This is what im saying bro like...this shyt needs context

@BlueHeffner it's like y'all are indirectly asking Dak to be perfect. Brady missed throws tonight, he threw some Ill advised passes, and the fact is, he was a little more timely.

But how many 3 and outs did Tampa have? Did they capitalize on our t/os? Not especially
Why should Dak above criticism?


Zeke was criticized for not making Adams miss on that play where Jarwin whiffed, but Dak cant be criticized for throwing to Zeke late the play before, negating a TD pass?

Ceedee was critcized for his “3” drops and nikkas will say hes a disappointment, even though he came up huge in the clutch

I mean he played a helluva game for someone with no preseason/real training camp/coming off injury :ehh:

Just as a fan of Dak he's gotta start closing some of these games. Before he would win, but didnt really give you high productivity. Now he's got the numbers, but knowing Brady is on the other side you HAVE to score TDs.

I want Dak to be on that level. However, he's gotta start winning these games against good teams. And he was great today, but now he's valued too high to miss out on wide open TDs. No one wants Kirk Cousins like success.

Dak played like a top 5 QB. I have no complaints with him tonight. McCarthy is on the hot seat. We should be at least a 11 or 12 win team this year with our schedule.

Honestly I wish we'd just fire McCarthy and let Moore be the head coach and see how he does. Because we have a top 5 offense this year, easily.

Hate being a downer on Dak after such a great game. However, I really hope that injury didnt take away his burst/speed. That redzone keeper would have been a TD a couple years ago. If thats no longer part of his game then he's gotta be pinpoint in the redzone.

In order to make that throw he wouldn’t needed to stop and set his feet. He had a free defender running at him full speed. Wasn’t going to happen.

That's nice on paper but in the real world teams don't always do that. You know what would be funny though ? If they actually weren't 3 for 3 on td's in the redzone :ohhh: What if...what if our defense held them to a field goal:ohhh: Your playing the defending chanps, the defense can't just be giving up touchdowns on EVERY REDZONE possession :ohhh:
Man stop with this goofy shyt. The onus was on the offense to create some distance on the scoreboard and they didnt do it. We got an interception at their 20 and settled for a FG instead of getting 6. Zurlein missed a 31 yard field goal and a PAT. We should have been up 3 at halftime with the ball first in the second half. 3rd quarter marched all the way down the field and Schultz completely whiffed on a block at the goal line and we again settle for 3.

See post above. Nobody looking past the defense, the fact is the offense left too many points out there.

coaching ain’t the problem. It’s lack of talent.

jaylon smith, Anthony brown… they shouldn’t be starting or getting meaningful snaps at all.

randy Gregory and LVE are too inconsistent.


Then you have a bunch of no names being rotated on the defensive line that get zero push up front.


Lewis is a dumb player. That INT he had was a prime example. Instead of staying in the end zone he runs it out. Why? To pad his stat line. To play hero ball.


And Zeke is threw. He’s not good enough to run behind a meh offensive line. He’s not garbage, but his career was initially propped up by a great offensive line. And it seems like it was just a few years ago “feed Zeke” was a thing to say.
