For those getting the Bucs telecast

[hardy97]

Sounds like the secondary is getting torched? Any thoughts? Am stuck watching Redzone channel.

Torched is mildly stating it

 

[riseboi]

You nailed it. Brees is picking them apart right now.

Is it because we aren't getting pressure?

 

[Phyrst1]

They suck. No coverage AT ALL. 3rd & 22 , no problem, Saints are rolling.

 

[riseboi]

Is it because we aren't getting pressure?

Yup. Secondary still playing subpar, like much of the year.

Well if any good news I think JW plays better when behind.

 

[CarlsbadNole]

Red zone sucks they tend to show one or two games mistlt

 

[riseboi]

Nice TD run by Martin, coupled with a few Saints penalties and @ 20 yd scramble by Winston. Bucs needed that score.

I swear they avoid the Bucs. All they showed was the TD. Not JW big run, etc.

 

[12Nole]

Hope they draft Jalen Ramsey

 

[Urban Cryer]

Redzone really sucks, they never seem to cover the Bucs

 

[ScottiePimpin]

Hope they draft Jalen Ramsey

They need to but I think the Bucs will pick closer to 10-12 and he may be gone. If either him or VH 0-for III is available when they draft they will grab them. Secondary is a glaring weak spot on this team.

 

[-Black]

Mackensie Alexander and Tre'Davious White have to be at the top of their board, since they might not be in position to select Ramsey or Hargreaves.

 

[nole96]

Drew Brees is basically throwing a perfect game. As for the Bucs offense, not sure what happened, but they can't do anything vs the worst defense in the NFL. Frustrating game to watch.

 

[doofy10]

The Bucs need to draft Jalen Ramsey. Problem solved.

Redzone didn't show one Play of that drive. They showed time outs of other games I instead. Unbelievable.

 

[Nolez4Life29]

Receivers running wide open all over the field.

#24 for the Saints is a giant dumb ass.

 

[NYNole40]

The Bucs need to draft Jalen Ramsey. Problem solved.

He will be off the board by the time they pick.

 

[nolemanb]

No pressure when we don't blitz and secondary isn't that great anyway; guys have been wide open. We've got to blitz.

 

[AndyDufresne]

Another problem, Mike Evans 1 target.

 

[ptznole]

No pressure on Brees at all..any secondary would look bad

 

[fsujlm]

Noticed this year about every 3 game the Bucs just take the day off and just aren't ready to play like professionals. Today is one of those days.

 

[skeeter67]

Brees is at about 85% passing. The Bucs secondary is a sieve and makes even average backup QBs look great. No accountability cause the same guys are out there every game making same mistakes. Too many DUMB penalties for this late in season. First play of game was 30+ yard pass play by Jameis and called back for holding. Had to kick, NO had short field = TD.

 

[nole96]

Terrible performance, at home, when you're in a Wildcard race. To play like this vs the worst defensive team in the NFL with nothing to play for.

 

[BRKRL5]

They're greatly missing Kwon Alexander, in my opinion

 

[sumnernole]

Winston needs some wide receivers who can catch the damn ball and actually play through injuries. They still are an average team but if they can get some defensive players and a playmaker at wide receiver, they can become good.

 

[nole96]

Back to within 7. See if they can finally get a stop on defense.

 

[Nolez4Life29]

5 mins to go down 7.

Let's do this Jameis.

 

[Nolez4Life29]

Wow

 

[sdumper]

Can't watch right now how's it looking for the Bucks?

 

[ptznole]

Not good. Saints have ball fist down, 2:39 left.

 

[OfficerNole]

Bucs receivers are trash. Hit him right in the hands.

 

[nole96]

There goes the Bucs playoff chances.

 

[noles934]

Evans is overrated

 

[bpicolo]

The Bucs need to draft Jalen Ramsey. Problem solved.

It would solve a problem, yes. Would it solve today's problem? No. The Bucs do have personnel issues to improve, but the problem today was wilting to their first play off pressure. New Orleans was out hitting them and they are played tight.

Direct TV is totally work the money to have Sunday Ticket, IMO. I don't miss a Bucs snap nor any snap I want to see. It's gr8.

Well, yes, the secondary didn't play well. It was no bigger issue than Brees having a ridiculously clean pocket. That said, the D rallied and only gave up 24. The Buc offense had chances to win the game. It was on them, IMO.

I wouldn't say the D rallied, they played a little better in the 2nd half, but still gave up critical 3rd downs, and penalties which eventually sealed the game. Offensively, Jackson is breaking down, every little injury is putting him on the sidelines. Evans, well, not sure if he can break the slump with the drops, and the rest of the receivers, they are practice squad/special teams material and they are forced into action.

Next years draft and free agency will let us all know if the Bucs are serious about winning or if the Glazers are as cheap as everyone says they are.

Good points. In addition Licht and Lovie need to demonstrate a nose for talent again this year in the draft, then again next year. They have some good pieces, but there are obvious holes.
