Garbage grounding call.

It's amazing how a team that looks so good in other weeks can just utterly collapse like a pro wrestling table any time they face a physical defense that can frustrate them and force them to face some adversity. We aren't taking the next step if we can't at least look like we belong in the building against physical, talented defenses.

Yeah, let's cool it on the Super Bowl talk. This looks like the 49er games from last year.

We called timeout there why exactly?

Pretty alarming to have 2 weeks to prepare for this game and come in with this bad of a game plan on both sides.

This is a "been reading too many of their own press clippings" type game.

After one quarter, the Bucs are on pace to score zero points. On pace for 44 now.... A-Rodg not donating 14 points a quarter would be helpful.

The defense has played fairly well today, but Mike Pettine still sucks.

Well, at least Gary finally got his name called.

Kind of have felt a poor game coming with the "this team is headed for the Super Bowl" chest thumping since Week 4.

Terrible throw.

Looked like the rear hit in bounds at the same time as out which would cause the play to stand. But obviously not if he didn't catch it, which I didn't see.

Well that sucked.

Really thought the Bucs would go for that 4th with this field position and down/distance. Ariens has been pretty aggressive in those situations.

Me to. If that was giving up then that was a late hit. Good point. You can't say he gave himself up and then say that wasn't a late hit. At the end of the day I guess it would have made about 2 inches of field position difference, but it seems like 2 different interpretations of that play.

How was he giving himself up? Couldn't you just as easily say he was diving for the goal line?

I don't even know why they're reviewing this. Do they think it's a college football game?

Buck, shut up about the knee, he wasn't touched before the knee.

Jenkins has been having a rough stretch the last couple games.

Tough to cut any of those guys. I guess if I had to cut one, it would be Chark. I'd be starting Godwin and Robby for sure. Then any of Brown, Crowder or Woods would be a good 3rd.

This is just my opinion, but to me any talk about who should or shouldn't be good or will be good is pointless. The talent of all 32 teams is close enough together where most teams stand a reasonable chance of winning any game. I dont think Miami is really 25 points better than the 49ers and I don't think the Vikings win in the Superdome more than 2 out of 10 times but one of those two was last January and that was the only one that mattered that day. Most teams are somewhere between 6-10 and 10-6 depending on the bounces they get in a season. There are a few teams below that gray area and a few teams above it. I'd like to think we are one of the teams above it and we certainly have a chance to go to the Super Bowl but it's obviously not a given. How well or how poorly you match up against a specific team is definitely something I believe in more now than in the past and it does seem that the numerous injuries on the 49ers this year may keep them out of the playoffs and help us avoid that bad matchup.

A grocery store "promotes contact." Your Utopia sounds like a breeding ground for depression. It sounds like you are content to lock yourself inside for an unlimited amount of time. Sounds a bit more insane to me than people who think that's a bit of overkill. Look, it shouldn't surprise anyone that a guy in his 50s thinks Trick or Treat isn't necessary. I on the other hand think that 8 months into this, it's time to get on with life. Cancelling ToT isn't going to make Covid go away. All these measures at this point are like ants scrambling with granules of sand to stop some kid with a garden hose. It's time to live again. It's probably not the right year for drunken costume parties (which will also happen anyway) but ToT can be done safely and like most of the exaggerations throughout this thing, will probably go off just fine. Sorry I just think the idea is a joke. Bars are open everyday and most kids are playing football but we're going to ax ToT and save lives? We are not going to distance and mask this thing away. We had our shot and blew it half a year ago. How many things that make life worth living are we just going to keep kicking down the road until things magically get better? We need a vaccine. It's the only out at this point. I agree with all these points. At some point, you have to start weighing saving lives against quality of life. If your life expectancy is 25 more years, and you spend 22 of them hunkered down avoiding any sort of unnecessary contact with civilization to increase your survival chances by a miniscule amount, what sort of life is that? I realize that timeline is probably an exaggeration, but the point is the same. My grandmother died at 94 this month, she had 5 children. All were at her bedside -- except one, her only son. He's 70, and despite being in good physical health for his age with no underlying conditions, he refused to travel to be with her because of COVID-19. This was his mother. He was not there when she passed, and he was not at the funeral. I respect his decision, but I hope for his sake he does not regret it some day. I can't make these decisions for everyone, but I was there at the funeral. I am 38, so I have ...maybe 50 years remaining? I'm not going to spend them in hiding. I do wear masks, I do take precautions, and I do stay home more than I used to. I do try to find "fun" activities that are also "safe". And I do weigh all my social decisions on whether the risk is worth the experience, but I'm not going to put my life on hold. Coronavirus is bad, but this also isn't the bubonic plague, and shouldn't be treated as such. COVID or no COVID, none of us is getting off this earth alive.

JuJu has been a huge disappointment. Washington and Ebron are just guys. Conner gets his like most bell cow RBs. I don't know if Claypool will be a disappointment but I don't think if he is it's because there's not enough touches to go around. It certainly worked out fine for Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell there simultaneously.

I'd sit JuJu.

I agree with this, however, once the individual fails, society/law/mandate has to step in. I don't expect $10 an hour employees to confront and deal with the selfish idiots, but by placing those signs on the door, those that do act on the greater good should feel like that store is a safe place to visit. I'm assuming there is always a manager on site of every KT, it should be their job to ask the people coming in with no mask to wear a mask, or kindly leave. Had this been done from the beginning, like Menards, the issue would no longer be there. Menards did it right, KT and many other places have done it wrong from day one, and now it is too late to go back. Those that don't wear masks there, will never wear masks there based on previous experience. Staging a manager (not a regular retail employee) outside the entrance to simply state a mask is required for entry is probably going to solve 95% of non-compliance at businesses. However, said extra employee is going to cost extra money, so unless the government is supplementing that extra salary I wouldn't expect stores to do this.
