But we've had 15 years of mediocrity since then and it hurts. Understandable. The only thing is I hope the last 15 years won't prevent everyone to enjoy this ride. This team is legit and it starts with the Qb. He is no Freeman and this team is loaded with talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a RB as good as he is. Quizz showed some wiggle and Barber got some tough yards. But Martin is both, and better at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree with you. We're in for a good season. I'm just glad to be around for the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc Ball Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 7 minutes ago, indifference said: Defense balled out. I thought the pass rush was good throughout the game. Offense has room to grow though and will improve with more time. The Bears used the quick game a lot, so it's hard to tell how effective the pass rush really was. We got young guys live reps, we didn't run anything too exotic defensively, gave everyone looks on offense and our kicker was consistent (even if he did miss an XP). This was as good a performance to open a season as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the special teams were great, sans one missed XP. It's really hard to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucs ran them out of the stadium with a rather pedestrian offense. And I know the offense won't be this average in too many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really had been almost a month since our starters played a meaningful snap. And we had the obvious questions regarding Irma. We were all over the country a few days ago (even in Canada!!! lol). And there's so much going on outside football. It was awesome to see our guys go out and get it. And keep getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I completely agree. I'll take Barber running the ball over Sims catching it all day, e'ry day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Love the mentality. I'm honestly surprised he didn't get the big C over David. I mean, David deserves it with his play. But the effect Ayers has had in the locker room can't be understated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 And he still had seven catches and a TD. Man. If Jameis could only connect on those deep balls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Would explain why he didn't get more carries. Dude needs to get his arse in shape. This is the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really caught me off guard. You'd expect a skill player to be in tip top shape. Especially a guy in an open competition to take over the starting spot and be a big contributor going forward.
