I'd just like to say something about this team
No matter what happens in the following few weeks, I'd just like to say that I'm enormously proud of the way our guys have fought all season long.
We've lost players to IR or for weeks at a time and they never stopped fighting, especially on defense. And I know that during the live chat I sometimes get a bit too over critical, but that's because I care so much about the team. We are in the playoffs for the first time since 2013! What do analysts say wins in January? A strong run game and a good defense, we have both. Payton, Allen and especially Jeff Ireland have all done an outstanding job. Merry Christmas to all and let's finish the season by winning at Tampa and taking the division. |

Well said.
Tampa won't be an easy out at all. This will be their Superbowl. They definitely have enough talent to beat us if we're looking ahead. |

Re: I'd just like to say something about this team
Not many would have thought we would have this scenario at the start of the year.
Even fewer after week 2. This has been a gutsy, ballsy team. Sure they've made mistakes but they've kept it together - thick and thin. Did you see the Jag-offs implode today? I can't see this team doing anything like that. Even our rookies seem more, I don't know... mature. |

Re: I'd just like to say something about this team
Depends on if Tampa wants to keep their top 5 pick. Are they really going to give up a potential 3 for bragging rights and drop to maybe 6? I do not think so.

Re: I'd just like to say something about this team
Agree
Need to take it seriously but i can see them doing wjat they did a few years back and playing tough first half before falling away to keep the pick |

Re: I'd just like to say something about this team
Tampa always plays us tough. Like the Falcons they start two LSU LBers. Unnnggghjh!!!! So aggravating! Last year Kwon Alexander ran down Mike Thomas from 30 yds back. He can fly. Alexander, Kendall Beckwith and LeVontae David(absolute stud if u didnt know) give the Bucs an elite LB core. Their secondary is atrocious though. Theoretically, their D is a bad matchup for us. We lack elite WRs. If our outside guys don't produce vs the Bucs, it could be a long day. I predict a big game for Mike Thomas.

Re: I'd just like to say something about this team
Watching the highlights this morning wanted to give credit to Coleman. That was some pursuit to drag Jones down just short of the goaline setting up the stand and fumble

It's nice to have a good group of coaches who've done well.
