Yeah I mean, I don’t ever want to bury a team Week 1 (except the Jets, because they always deserve it). But maybe time for some to pump the breaks on the Super Bowl talk.

all hype

 

[Alsacs]

Niners-Cards better than Saints-Bucs.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Bullock really missed that field goal?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I didn’t think Tom had that kind of distance anymore. Nice throw

 

[creatorsgam]

all hype

Certainly looking like it early. I do hope they can be competitive over the season. Brady taking them into the playoffs would make for some good postseason excitement.

 

[Alsacs]

Arizona goes into SF and wins.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Give me Dick Enberg all day.

One less word and that's a WHOLE different sentiment.

Tampa is going to make the playoffs.
Expecting them to slide right into 12-4 was a lot to ask.
They could still go 12-4 but I expect them to go 10-6 and be a wild card.

 

[creatorsgam]

Weak penalty. What was he supposed to do?

 

[Cusefan0307]

The Saints D line was the difference in this game.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Why go for 2 there. Doesn't matter.

 

[Briancuse]

What's the point of going for 2 there?

 

[Alsacs]

Troy Aikman trolling Tom Brady wasn’t something I was expecting.
Also arians WTH are you going for 2 down 11. Kick the XP what was that.

 

[Cusefan0307]

 

[CuseFaninVT]

saints trying to rub it in now

 

[Alsacs]

The O/U in Tampa-New Orleans is 47.5.

That go for 2 kept the number under 47.
If you bet on that you need the saints to score here.

Going for two is the right call.

Final score obviously isn’t good but Tampa was pretty good today outside of the continuing special teams curse and the two Brady picks. They lost to one of the best teams in the league and were competitive despite shooting them selves in the foot numerous times. Might not win the division but they look like they should be a playoff team to me.

Going for 2 down 11 is stupid.
If you succeed you are down 9 and still need 2 scores to win.
If you want to win the game go for 2 down 1.

Missing that 2 means they have to convert the 2 point conversion.
I get going for 2 down 8.
Not down 11.

It's almost time for everyone's favorite show "No this is really the Cowboys year. I mean it this time. We're going to the Super Bowl. Not kidding this time"

And here's your host Briancuse !

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were saying they were down 11 and scored and then went for 2. Yeah I can’t explain trying to cut the deficit to 9 lol.

Ok I was wondering about the math on that one. I'm not one of those analytics guru but it didn't seem like the right move.

It was just stupid.
I was reading that the Bucs logic was they were trying to get some goal line action going because they didn’t have preseason or joint practices.

It was just pointless to go for 2 since they still needed 2 scores to win and the miss put more stress on their comeback.

Arians is gonna Arians.

 

[OrangeDW]

Is that new Rams stadium a dome? And if so, why? What elements are they protecting people from? LA seems as ideal of a city for outdoor football that you will find?

 

[Alsacs]

Arians publicly blamed Brady for both INTs in his post game PC. Can’t wait for Brady’s reaction to that.

 

[Alsacs]

Trishton Jackson is inactive for the Rams but his entire salary for the season vested by making the opening day week 1 roster good for that kid.
