How is Porter getting away with all this PI? Every time Hopkins runs a route down the sideline Porter just blocks him from blowing past him. He's not even being subtle. He's got both arms spread out preventing Hopkins from running the route. All the ticky tack stuff called PI these days and Porter is just out here commiting the most blatant PI and they're not calling it.

The problem with evaluating Beane like that is we haven't played against the Bengals with the roster he built. Last year we were missing Jones, Hyde, and Von while Josh, Poyer, and Phillips were all held together with duct tape and Tre was barely himself. This year we're missing Jones, Tre, and Milano while Josh is again battling an injury to his throwing arm and Von is where Tre was last year. People can miss me with the "everyone deals with injuries" stuff too. No other team in the NFL has lost even close to the amount of talent to injury as we have the past two years. We've seen them at full strength and they're a powerhouse. That's what Beane should be judged by. These key acquisitions to plug holes are just another indicator of his talents.

All our defenders just falling down in the end zone for no reason. Lucky Godwin didn't look up a half second earlier. The Bills should have won this game by 20+. What a disappointment.

Stop paying Neal please. That would have been downed at the 1 by any player off the street.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking right now. The Bucs are in this game when it should have been a blowout. A lot of stupid mistakes.

Jordan Phillips is massive. Baker Mayfield is not. Just tackle him. I know it's a difficult concept for these guys, but I assure you it's possible.

Man Jordan Phillips is bad this year. This QB is half your size and you need to grab his facemask to get him down?

Baker has made a few nice throws to the outside tonight that his receivers have just dropped.

It's bad when he thinks the defense is going to get an offside penalty so he takes a sack and then realizes they didn't throw a flag.

Relax, killer. The other poster asked what a "free play" was.

They try to draw the defender offside and take a shot down field because it doesn't matter if there's a sack or interception because we'd get 5 yards for the penalty regardless. Problem is, Josh has a history of taking chances when the defender jumps but the refs don't throw the flag. So he gets sacked or intercepted and it's bad.

Certainly looked like it. Josh clearly thought so.

Haha bread and burger. That's funny.

Yeah because he's awesome. Still made a mistake though. Someday you'll grow up and realize that both things can be possible.

Based on the bogus PI call in the first half, I wouldn't put any call past them.

Okay we're getting some mojo back now! Just play clean football and put this team away.

The turnover where he threw the ball right at a defender isn't the one? Which one would you pick?

The Bucs have 1 TD than they only got because we turned the ball over on our own 25 yard line. They really have to clean up the missed tackles, but they haven't been our biggest problem recently.

Give me a break. The defender was right in front of him. Throw it the other direction, take the sack, or try to evade the rusher. Don't throw it right at him. Josh isn't perfect, guys. He does make mistakes.

It got tipped by the defender he threw the ball directly at. What are you talking about? He also failed to identify the free rusher there. So two mistakes by Josh on that one play. That's not just bad luck.

He missed several assignments last week that led to big plays for New England. Dodson won't make the big plays, but he can at least limit them for the other team.

Longevity and fit.

This is the NFL. There is always a small margin between domination and suck. One or two bad play calls or execution misfires can make the difference. That's why we need Dorsey to get his head out of his ass on the goal line and Josh to not throw the ball right at defenders.

It wasn't bad luck. It was Josh being careless and throwing the ball into danger yet again.

Wtf Josh. Can you stop giving the ball away for like ONE GAME
