re: Tampa Bay 19 New England 17 Final. Bucs lucky. Jones impressive.

They’ve had some bad breaks but they’ll be a completely different team as they progress. Just a lot of new guys figuring out what to do. The defense is top 5 even without Gilmore. Hopefully this makes them go all in on a no huddle spread going forward and they won’t be out the playoff picture for long

I mean this offense is a good bit off of consistently competing with good teams. Offensive Line is a mess, no true number one receiver, and the two top 5 paid tight ends look washed as hell. Mac is good at short and intermediate throws but the offense still hasn’t had a pass play longer than 32 yards. I’m not trying to hate but I feel like the offense has a lot of significant flaws. This Bucs D is not good. They’ve given up 29 points a game and 338 passing yards a game. Mac individually looked decent but it wasn’t a good overall team effort at all offensively IMO.

Like I said, they will progress. You can see the growth. Long season ahead. Belicheck whole philosophy is that you don’t know who you are as a team until atleast November

Getting Trent Brown back completely changes the trajectory of the offensive line
