That was really great.. God, I've missed it! Dak looked so good. Brady looked great as ever

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 5:10am

over 100 passes attempted, 800 yards, 7TDs, a last second game winning FG. Yes, fair to say that was an eventful 3 hours.

Xavi6 · 10-09-2021 6:36am

A lot of that loss falls on Greg Zuerlein, unacceptable shank from 31.

Well the bucs won but I may have been a tad bit overly confident about how much the bucs would win by. I’ve to rewatch what I didn’t see(which is everything after 7-7) but it appears the concerns over Dak and his shoulder were misplaced although Michelle Tafoya did say that he’ll have an MRI every two weeks I think it was so while it’s good to go, there’s a concern there.

How is Brady better at 44 than he was at 24 or 34? It's absurd and defies everything we've previously known about athletes. He looks like he could play until 50 at this rate if he wanted to.

his unbelievable to be honest. The man should really be studied for future generations .That was your prototypical Mike McCarty game, lean on your QB to get it done, go away from the run game, big plays given up by the defence, special team errors and bad time management at the end.

Drugs?

Lots of athletes take drugs, they still don't manage that. Whether he is or not the drugs don't seem to be the main ingredient.

Leroy42 · 10-09-2021 1:13pm

So what is the consensus after that? Is the Bucs defense not up to the job? Are Dallas far better than everyone thought?

With Zach Martin out, the Bucs really didn't seem to be able to put too much pressure on Dak (I only saw the highlights so maybe they did).

Brady certainly seemed on song, making some big plays downfield and of course the usual (for him anyway) last scoring drive.

Christy42 · 10-09-2021 1:25pm

I think Martin mostly hurt them in the run game. Dallas seemed to go straight for any cb who isn't a starter and make hay so there is room on the outside to bear the Buccs but I think Dallas are a really really quality outfit as well and unless you can win at the perimeter with multiple wide receivers you will struggle to break them down.

I don't think anyone was questioning Dallas' offense but their defense may have issues. We will see as it was a tough test vs the Buccs but I reckon they are stíl vulnerable.

Serious zip on Brady's throws and he is obviously more comfortable in the offense than he was at the start of last season.

Dallas's OL is elite and did well against the Bucs DL. That meant Dak had enough time to attack their secondary, who were banged up.

Foxtrol · 10-09-2021 8:58pm

Enjoyable game last night but both defenses raised flags if that is how they are going to perform for the rest of the season.

Happy with my Brady MVP shout - the Buccs weapons are incredible and he can make the most out of them. Dak was good but Cowboys season will hinge on whether his arm improves with more time since the injury or regresses further from wear and tear (I fear the latter). Zeke was up against a top run stuffing DL but was poor every time he had an opportunity - his pass protection was superb but not what you want from a guy getting that much money.

If it wasn't the Cowboys I'd feel bad for them on the non-OPI call. Like DPI, it is so frustrating how inconsistently it is called. We'll have OPIs called on Sunday that weren't close to as bad as that one (I'm still bitter about the Super Bowl call on Kittle).

And Sunday has finally arrived and it’s week one in bulk as they say. Hopefully gamepass doesn’t do what it did last year at the start and hopefully the blackouts are still not enforced.

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 5:54pm

Well let’s do it then. The eagles can’t be much worse than last season so any improvement will be welcome. A win against Atlanta and a good performance will be a nice start.

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 6:04pm

That was a really well done video and singing of the anthem.

TheDoctor · 12-09-2021 6:08pm

Redzone not on SS Mix

Edit: started late

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 6:14pm

Like a hot knife through butter from the falcons offense against the eagles defence.

ya what the hell is going on its just the nfl network feed?

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 6:26pm

TD eagles hurts to smith. Okay this is positive stuff and the defense did hold the falcons to a FG on their first drive.

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 6:27pm

And the sky game isn’t blocked on gamepass again this season.

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 6:42pm

End of 1Q eagles 7 falcons 3.

Mr. Guappa · 12-09-2021 7:13pm

The Falcons field still looks terrrible on TV.

TheDoctor · 12-09-2021 7:39pm

Colts one also weird on TV

Itssoeasy · 12-09-2021 7:46pm

15-6 eagles at HT. some issues on the O line but Jalen hurts has been doing some good stuff. A generally positive first half.

martingriff · 12-09-2021 8:09pm

Who is the lady on SKY

MileHighGuy · 12-09-2021 8:18pm

Big turnaround in the Chargers v WFT game. Is that all down to the switch to Heinke i wonder ?

MileHighGuy · 12-09-2021 8:26pm

awful throw by Herbert. Not sure what he saw there.
