Bucs-Dolphins, Open Thread
August 16th, 2019
Comment all game long about this riveting preseason matchup in the comments section below.
It’s great fun! Play nice. No personal fouls. Of course, Joe will have plenty to type about after the Bucs face what might be the worst roster in the NFL.
Go Bucs!
August 16th, 2019 at 7:10 pm
Let’s see some positives this game… ahhhh f$&k it come on September
August 16th, 2019 at 7:14 pm
No lightning around so hopefully the sissies at the NFL won’t delay the game.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:17 pm
I really want to watch the 2nds and 3rds tonight. And please, no, no injuries to starters or possible starters. We need a healthy end to our preseason.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:17 pm
@TBBF……….Trip was pretty good ‘cept for gridlocks in KC and Chattanooga. The Georgia part of the trip was not exactly awesome and with this chitty rain we are getting this is starting off slow. Gonna be here for at least another week so we will see. 🙂
August 16th, 2019 at 7:32 pm
Just want to get out of here without more injuries. I’m not even going to flip out about Jay Miss tonight.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:35 pm
Looks like the number of fans in the stands are in mid season form….
August 16th, 2019 at 7:40 pm
If Ronald is returning kicks, it means they don’t see him as a starter anytime soon.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Man, what a nice play by Winston there getting out of pressure, he does that as good as anyone in the NFL.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Throw it away dummy. That is just like a turnover. We had 3 points. Net 10 yards after the punt.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:47 pm
Donovan Smith sucks
August 16th, 2019 at 7:47 pm
Back to back plays he gets thrown like a doll … overpaid garbage
August 16th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
So really bad blocking on that drive, they let Jameis get killed twice where he had no chance, and Winston turned one of those into a 1st down.
Also why wouldn’t Bruce kick a super long FG there, why not? It’s preseason, lets see this Gay kicker try a 60 yarder in the rain. If he misses it, who cares, if he makes it, wow.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
That was Dotson not bothering to block.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Blitz pickup was atrocious but I am loving the quicker releases to this offense.
This offense is going to help Winston elevate to the next level.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Pitt the nurses should’ve thrown you away
August 16th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Most of the o line sucks.
People like to sugarcoat it but all but one maybe 2 suck
August 16th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
live stream failed again!
August 16th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Lol Rod
August 16th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
I like how ppl are calling jameis dumb for not throwing it away but to be honest it’s hard to do anything when you have d linemen coming unblocked as soon as you hiked the ball
August 16th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
@Pittsshore.. If Winston throws that ball up for grabs and its picked we know you alt-right idiots would be carrying your ticky torches just like i charolettesiville
August 16th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Yeah our RT is old and slow. Geez sad.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
Rod Munch, I noticed a white guy playing left tackle on the first breakdown. Any idea who it was?
Smith was back in for the next couple plays. I didn’t see if he was out on the second breakdown.
If they are already substituting, then the dolphins are choosing then to blitz.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
On that first drive through Jameis looked great, was sharp, put the ball where it should be, under pressure he didn’t make any mistakes. Lets see what he can do on drive two, hopefully the line shows up.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
I hope the starters get one more series.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
Lol defense not hitting the line full speed … 4th down because the receiver can’t catch
August 16th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
Dotson is going to get someone hurt. Coach needs to do something NOW!!!
August 16th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
Bonzai – I was trying to see who was on the line in that series, but the feed is a little low res – or rain is on the lens because I couldn’t read the numbers.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
Everyone watch Donovan Smith … my gawd …. he is so overpaid
August 16th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
Let’s hope Apples McGoo gets another chance.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:53 pm
Rod Munch reguarding RoJo on kickoffs you might be thinking too much on that. It could just be a tool to help him get into the flow of the game.
I’m sure somebody will pick up on it and ask Bruce after game. Interested to hear what he says.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:53 pm
Rod Munch,
Jameis was “ok” not great. Missed a wide ass open Evans on the first play!
Took a sack and maybe could’ve gotten rid of it? Not his fault though. He shook the first guy and the second guy got him.
How are we the only team in the NFL to have 3 OL paid $10 million+ salaries and we can’t edging block?
August 16th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
One series?
Geez thanks.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Jesus Christ, one series…
I guess they don’t want Winston getting killed by the o-line.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:55 pm
OL in 2nd round sure would have been nice!
August 16th, 2019 at 7:55 pm
Pretty clear Donovan Smith resigning was a huge mistake. He gives up on a block so fast. That last sack he should have buried his guy, if he was any good.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:55 pm
Boooooo entire 1st team out.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:57 pm
Rod Munch, it was number 64. Cole Boozer. Smith only played 3-4 plays on the series. So Arians wasn’t joking about the starters barely playing, lol.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:57 pm
SteveK – First pass looked like Evans slipped to me, but maybe he missed it.
On the sack he had the guy holding his foot and another guy coming in – if he tries to force the ball there and something happens, then he’s an idiot. Even if nothing happens it’s a flag for intentional grounding. There’s nothing he can do on that play.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:58 pm
Johnny u
Man you are one dumb mother fuc ker.
What a terrible reference.
You are as smart as a wet paper bag full of sh it.
You smell like food stamps and unemployment
Stupid fu ck.
I’d like to smack you right in your di ck suc ker.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:58 pm
Coach Arians said they would not play because they worked with Miami all week in practice. I don’t blame him why would I work my starters in a pre-season rain game?
August 16th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
What the what! Are they trying to hide something. I would think a brand new office would take a little work to implement.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
JimmyJack – I don’t know of any current teams that are having a guy they see as their top back returning kicks. I mean perhaps, but I don’t really see that. I think Barber is still solidly the top guy – which is fine for now.
August 16th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
Line looks solid. Winston needs to check slide protections and get rid of the ball faster. Glad rosen isnt our qb…
August 16th, 2019 at 8:00 pm
Steve K Winston had a guy immediatly in his face on 1st play. Over throwing a sideline route was the safe choice and not enough time to do anything much more.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:01 pm
SteveK,
Mike Evans reaction seemed to indicate he did something wrong on that play. He was even hitting himself on the head.
On the sack, I don’t think Jameis really had time to get rid of the ball. They were hitting him quickly. Sometimes taking the sack is the safe thing to do.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:01 pm
I see it as a 1a 1b situation with Barber & Jones.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:03 pm
Personal foul for hitting the guy too hard? Bunch of wimps.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:03 pm
Defense is flying.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:04 pm
Yeah rod that buchanon shot was a horrible call
August 16th, 2019 at 8:04 pm
JimmyJack – Yeah, I don’t disagree on 1a and 1b, I just mean I don’t think they see Ron as the top guy, meaning he’s not going to be getting a big workload. If they’re splitting carries, that would be the case.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:05 pm
Live steam on app is a piece of s–t
August 16th, 2019 at 8:05 pm
I agree Barber is the solid starter, barring preseason injury.
How long that lasts is the question. We might see a change by mid season, because the Bucs won’t be able to pay Barber next year if he does well.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:06 pm
Arians needs to give a bionic elbow to these trash referees.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:07 pm
Whitehead & Gholston showing up nicely today!!
Give this defense one more series. They need it. We need it.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:07 pm
Bucs got lucky that the Dolphin receivers have butter fingers, but a stop is a stop. The defense is playing very vanilla, not a lot of blitzes or pressure, but again, I think it’s just because they’re not mixing it up much.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:08 pm
Damn app stream is terrible!! Ridiculous
August 16th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
JimmyJack, I don’t think Gholston will be a starter in the regular season.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
I sure Bowles’ blitzes work in the regular season… we haven’t made a single play in the backfield… Miami was in jameis’ face almost every drop back.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
Wow first team offense looked average. I’m sensing another losing season on the way. I just want this guy Licht out of the picture.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
Bonzai. I agree with that sack play. Ronde said he should of got rid of it but I didn’t see that. Just didn’t have nearly the time to react to that sack.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:10 pm
Im liking Dare!!!!!
August 16th, 2019 at 8:11 pm
You guys think Rojo is hurt
August 16th, 2019 at 8:11 pm
No Gholsyon won’t be a starter but he will be a rotational player and will be on the field and have a chance to make an impact.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:11 pm

August 16th, 2019 at 8:12 pm
@tony
Yes 6 wins max.
Defense is barely NFL level regardless of coach.
And offensive line is comprised of lazy slow old or backups
So yea don’t expect much.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:13 pm
Ouch, Bobo with the drop, yikes, that play might get him cut. I think he fills that Hump role perfectly, but man, that’s a bad drop.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:14 pm
Nasty blitz by minter, holding on defense? That was lame, there wasnt enough time for a hold…
August 16th, 2019 at 8:15 pm
The lack of meaningful replays by this God awful production team at WFLA is embarrassing.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:15 pm
Bobo the dumbo sucks as s.
Only FSU fans thinks he’s any good.
Practice squad player at best.
Dude is straight trash. And there’s no debate about it.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:16 pm
1st Teamers out………..Gash run given up & then spash play nullified by pentalty. I’m paying close attention to those pentalties tonight. I wanna see improvement from last week’s atrocity
August 16th, 2019 at 8:17 pm
This game fee is horrible, wtsp is pure trash, half the time there is no sound and showing wierd camera shots of nothing. Idk how many times it has gone black?
August 16th, 2019 at 8:20 pm
Kenny Stills sighting? LOL
August 16th, 2019 at 8:20 pm
Figures you are the joke as a fan.
Your statements are ignorant at best. Always have been too.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:22 pm
Holy Jesus, Ryan Smith made a play.
Oh wait, on the replay the WR just dropped the ball, never mind.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:24 pm

Dude is straight trash. And there’s no debate about it.
Couldn’t care or less if Bobo is here or not but I find it funny that you rip Jameis for accuracy, which is complete crap, yet blame Bobo when the ball was clearly behind him and he would have run for days if the ball was out in front of him. Bias much?

Secondary looks pretty good, but second string D-line is what we thought it was- weak.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:27 pm
Why would you want to watch Tim McGraw at 2pm in early Sept when you could be watching football?
It’s the dumbest promotion I’ve ever seen. It’s going to be 115 degrees or it’s going to be raining, and in any case it’s the first weekend of the season.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:28 pm
This looks like every home preseason game in the rain.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:29 pm
I didn’t blame BOBO for anything I just stated that the dude sucks.
@jimmyjack
What did I say that hurt your feelings snowflake?
The o line sucks.
Bobo sucks.
6 wins.
What about that is ignorant?
August 16th, 2019 at 8:29 pm
That o line….ugly!
August 16th, 2019 at 8:31 pm
I’m streaming through the Spectrum app, channel 8. No issues at all.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:31 pm
Chris Meyers could be the lamest white guy on earth.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:32 pm
Shaq Barret is playing
August 16th, 2019 at 8:33 pm
@ndog
@jimmyjack
I guarantee you both at the end of the season I’ll say “I told you so” about the win total.
And then both of you in all your glory WILL eat crow. Anyone with any common sense can tell this team is 6-7 win team. But both of you arm chair experts think you’re soooo smart but you’ll both end up looking like a couple of dumb shi ts.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:34 pm
Rod Munch, don’t worry. That game will be moved to San Fran because we’ll be under threat of a hurricane 😉
Billy Ray Cyrus has afree concert coming up at a beach…Bucs sponsored…as well.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:35 pm
Lmao I struck a nerve with FSU hom os.
Lmao bunch of morons.
They didn’t like the bobo sucks reference. Lmao.
The IQ doesn’t run high with FSU fans. Nothing worse than someone thinking they’re smart but doesn’t realize how stupid they actually are.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:36 pm
Figure, we all know if you are wrong you won’t come around to eat crow anyway, lol.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:36 pm
Bonzai – I don’t think we’ll get a hurricane this year, it’s been a very very slow season. But then again the media loves their fake news and loves to scare the hell out of people, so I could see a tropical depression form and the media play it up like a CAT4 hurricane and the NFL panicking like they do in the preseason when it’s lightning in Orlando and they delay the game in Tampa by 45 mins.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:37 pm
Bobo is fast zoom zoom
August 16th, 2019 at 8:38 pm
Figures – Do the world a favor and hook up with your life partner TJmaxx and take a drive to the top of the Sky Way, then hold each others hands and take the leap. The world needs less miserable boring pricks in it.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:38 pm
Man gabbert is horrible.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:40 pm
Tanner Hudson with a nice move there, that guy has to make the team.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:40 pm
Rojo must be a lock for the #2 spot. They’re not putting him back in.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:41 pm
Man, that offensive line is terrible.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:41 pm
Tanner hudson is great depth. Need to trade brate and Peyton barber to dallas for zeke
August 16th, 2019 at 8:41 pm
What was that??? Lol.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:42 pm
Bonzai – Oh yeah, Ronnie is #2 or 1a/1b – but I wonder if Ellington is a lock as #3 after that fumble earlier. That Ogg guy has looked solid, if he can catch, he might get that spot.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:42 pm
Santos time.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:42 pm
Omg. Can’t believe I’m so happy to see a FG.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:42 pm
Justin Watson is trash Blaine gabbert just sack himself
August 16th, 2019 at 8:43 pm
StonedBuc – If Dallas would take that trade, you make it in a second. Would need to cut JPP to make cap space, but he’s not playing this season anyways.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:43 pm
That was a Gay kick.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:43 pm
Get Ryan Griffen in the game. Very unimpressed by Gabberet. Honestly think Griffen is a better QB.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:44 pm
@rod
Go cuddle with your boyfriend and STFU.
No one was talking to you.
Y’all all mad cause I said your boy bobo sucks which is true in any universe.
I said the o line sucks which is true in every way.
And I said 6-7 wins which again is spot on.
So go ride a banana and S……T…….F……..UP…….
August 16th, 2019 at 8:44 pm
Gay grabbed his knee after the kick. Did anyone see that. Hopefully its nothing.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:45 pm
Is it just me, or does anyone else prefer Griffin over Gabbert? Or someone entirely new?
August 16th, 2019 at 8:45 pm
@bonzai
Oh don’t worry I won’t be wrong so no worries homeboy.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:46 pm
Figures shut up Geez bunch of grown men on the internet is crying and name calling I can tell you’re a punk in real life.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:46 pm
Matt Gay kicked off, so he can still kick. He did look like he was limping though.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:48 pm
I don’t have faith in Griffin or Gabbert, if anything happens to Winston the season is over and this is a 2 win team, mainly because I think so little of those two.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:48 pm
Griffin is sooooooo much better than Gabbert. It’s not even close.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:48 pm
Figures, that’s homer boy, not home boy 🙂 And proud of it.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:48 pm
Yeah, I saw Gay grab his kicking leg knee also and after the kick off he was slightly limping but he did not look to be in too much pain.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:48 pm
The air is half out of the whoopee cushion
August 16th, 2019 at 8:48 pm
Figures – LOL! Triggered.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:49 pm
Even for preseason games this just set a new ‘boring record’. The first team showed me absolutely zero to start the game, and Gabbert & friends has taken it downhill from there. Hard to believe that these guys are actually fighting for jobs.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:49 pm
@walkorgodeep
Well first of all I didn’t say a word to any of these idiots.
They started on me cause I struck a nerve saying bobo sucks.
So if you wanna start blaming someone don’t look at me fool.
Don’t trash talk me and then tell me to stop when I come back on you.
So you can stfu up too.
Oh and I promise I’m no punk in real life. I’m a big man boy.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:50 pm
Bucs have to wrap up on these tackles.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:51 pm
DEAN,……AHHHH! Tht shouldve been an easy INT!
August 16th, 2019 at 8:51 pm
Rod
Haha haha I’m not triggered banana man.
You were obviously to say something to me when I wasn’t even talking to you.
Btw: bobo sucks
August 16th, 2019 at 8:53 pm
Boozer should be cut right after this game. He is awful.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:53 pm
Griffen led us to a clutch FG in this same spot last week. Gabberet has just show us nothing all preseason.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:53 pm
Boozer is awful.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:54 pm
God help us if we have to rely on 2nds/3rds on the O line!
August 16th, 2019 at 8:54 pm
Damn how do you drop that pick. Gabbert is not an nfl qb, id much rather have landry jones or just about anyone. What happenes to nick Fitzgerald?
August 16th, 2019 at 8:54 pm
Please put Griffin back in. He’s your number 2 wanko.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:55 pm
Figures – OMG, you’re sooo triggered. I said something loving to you, something beautiful, something meaningful and you responded with hate.
I love you, I want you to be happy, I think you’d be happiest deep under water.
God bless.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:56 pm
StonedBuc – Nick Fitz is still hurt last I heard.
At this point I’d rather they sign Testaverde back – he can’t be worse than Gabbert.
And either Testerverder, the kid or his dad, I’d take Vinny at 55 years old over Gabbert.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:56 pm
Boozer is at LT cause Benechot couldn’t handle it last week. Looks like it’s time for PlanC.
Something worth following this week. Who is taking snaps at LT on second team. Looks like we gotta make a move there.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:56 pm
@Defense Rules:
Exackalackally!
The good news is that after watching the Raiders last night, the Bucs can probably beat Arizona, which looks like the worst team in the league.
Does anyone know the exact Arians’ quote? Did he say he was ready to cut down to 60 players, or that he could cut 60 players right now? LOL
tickrdr
August 16th, 2019 at 8:57 pm
@rod
Yea I bet I know where your happy place is.
Definitely somewhere deep. And definitely with your boyfriend
August 16th, 2019 at 8:57 pm
Figures your calling yourself a “big man boy”
August 16th, 2019 at 8:58 pm
Griffen over Gabbert all day long.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:58 pm
I had high hopes for Boozer just because he has an awesome jersey. The dream is dying before my eyes.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:58 pm
Figures – Man, that’s a good comeback, are you a professional comedian or sumptin’?
August 16th, 2019 at 8:58 pm
Big man, boy. Are you illiterate?
August 16th, 2019 at 8:59 pm
I don’t get the game on TV I can’t seem to get it on my computer I can’t even get the audio. I’m watching NFL game Center this sucks so bad. What the hell is wrong with Gabbert ? Somehow our defense is about to let these guys score a touchdown I hope BA unloads on our team
August 16th, 2019 at 8:59 pm
Rod
Don’t worry I’m not going anywhere.
I’ll be here all season to point out how wrong you morons are.
Btw: bobo sucks.
6-7 wins.
August 16th, 2019 at 8:59 pm
Bucs have to sign some offensive lineman once teams start cutting guys – or better, go trade for a swing tackle. Give up a 5th, you should get someone for that.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:00 pm
Shaq almost got 3 sacks
August 16th, 2019 at 9:00 pm
Gotchya, amd damn gabbert is painful to watch.
On another note our ends/olbs are looking fast but rosen has a good/quick release.
Our corners aremt really pressing, giving them to many clean releases. (As i type this bond gets the sack) speeeed

August 16th, 2019 at 9:04 pm
Gay was just limping heavily into the locker room, or he got a pimp walk cause he knows the job is his?
August 16th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
With Griffin in we should score a couple TDs.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
Figures has gone full blown troll and now all comments are not about football at all.
It’s painfully obvisous he came here just to get into a namecalling fight with us. Started by saying a few things bad about our team to get the ball rolling & now getting the exact results he wanted and getting to insult people on the internet.
In other news this game is showcasing how garbage preseason football is. S moth of games and we will see 1st team offense for roughly 2 quarters. Yuck
August 16th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
Vita has quite the gut on him. I know he’s a big boy, maybe not a big man boy, but still, I thought he had trimmed down just a little.
If it doesn’t impact his play, then who cares, but Sapp continues to say you can’t be that big and fat and play in FL.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
google livetotal and figure it out from there….cant say much here
August 16th, 2019 at 9:06 pm
Vita Vea looked healthy to me.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:09 pm

“Sapp continues to say you can’t be that big and fat and play in FL.”
Wasn’t Fridge Perry a big guy? In fact, the names escape me right now, but I seem to recall there have been several elite DL players who were very big.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:11 pm
JimmyJack, I still like four preseason games. I like watch depth play when it doesn’t count.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:14 pm
Greedy so far looks better than any of the DB we drafted… Greedy would have made that pick!
August 16th, 2019 at 9:14 pm
Lmao “our team” like I’m not a Bucs fan.
Haven’t missed one single game since 1987 lol.
Half of you probably weren’t even born yet.
But I choose to live in the land of reality unlike you daydreamers.
I used to be like you. Always hopeful always thinking this year they will turn the corner this year they’ll be good again just to be let down pissed off with the same ol same ol.
So until it actually changes I’m not gonna pretend like you all.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:14 pm
Did we just watch Glain Babberett throw for less then 20 yard for nearly a entire half of football?
When did the 1990 Buc return? And who forgot to tell me?
August 16th, 2019 at 9:17 pm
Btw
Bobo sucks. (Talking football)
O line sucks. (Football again)
6-7 wins. (Yet again football)
So wrong you are.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:17 pm
So you used to not be somebody who came to websites with the intention of insulting people on the internet……..Strange, usually thats something you grow out of and not into.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:19 pm
Bonzai – Sapp was saying because of the heat and humidity in FL, you just can’t be that big and heavy, you’re going to get hurt, get gassed, etc. He said that last offseason, and so far he’s been right about injury. We shall see how he does, but two training camps in a row he’s out.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:20 pm
You know in fairness to Vita, they showed him again from another angle and his gut didn’t look nearly as big. Maybe it was just a bad angle earlier.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:20 pm
Jimmyjack
If you go back and look at the comments I didn’t call you or rod or whoever else a name until y’all started in on me. I was stating obvious facts about the team. (Didn’t say a word about Winston) not his fault the o line getting him killed but I digress.
I did call out that johnnyu guy though. Guilty there.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:22 pm
Less pentalties tonight so far but two of them have been extremely costly.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:23 pm
Poor Fitz playing with the 3rd teamers. Not sure why the Dolphins would be playing Fitz at this point, they know what he is.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:23 pm
The special teams sans kicking have been a joke.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:24 pm
J.C. go to bed children.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:26 pm
If RB OGG gets any type of space, he makes yards, he’s gonna be a tough cut.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:26 pm
should we fire the ST coordinator now
August 16th, 2019 at 9:26 pm
Figures my troll fighting days are mostly behind me. There’s still a few battles I will involve myself in and none of what you say are any of them……….Go find other posters who wamt to get into a namecalling contest with you(won’t be hard). I am not interested.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:30 pm
What the F was that, there was no hold there. F-ing piece of s refs in regular season form.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:31 pm
Still less pentalties but now 3 have nullified huge plays.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:32 pm
Hopefully these guys are better insurance salesmen than they are football players.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:33 pm
Heh. Bruce Arians is calling those refs out! Lol
August 16th, 2019 at 9:33 pm
The refs killed that drive on a complete BS call, awful job. Hopefully Arians doesn’t end up in the hospital on a preseason game.
In any case Ogunbowale has looked good, they should keep him and cut Ellington.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:33 pm
At least it looks like less pentalties…….Rod cue up the stats. Ya know ya got em.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:34 pm
Looking for a vacuum to buy. Its between a Buccaneers brand or a Hoover. Which one has more sucking power.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:34 pm
NFL officiating is disgraceful. The league has too much money to,keep having lawyers as part time officials. Enough is enough.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:35 pm
I second the motion to cut Ellington and keep Ogunbowale
August 16th, 2019 at 9:35 pm
Rod Munch, I agree.
Btw, more rain coming.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:35 pm
Bucs are losing the penalty count 6-5…
But I’m sure the refs will take care of that shortly.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:37 pm
I’ll take Griffin over Gabbert going forward.
Gabbert is garbage.
Griffin looks like he might be able to play.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:37 pm
Yes Dare has earned a job over Ellington thus far. I will be upset if he should get snaps over Ellington next week. I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t…….Or maybe they will plan on keeping 4 RBs which then it won’t matter.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:37 pm
There we go, right on cue.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:38 pm
Rod you called it. Now that makes for the 4th pentalty to nullify a huge play.
Cannot win a NFL game that way.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:40 pm
Too many penalties on 3rd down plays…..needs to stop.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:40 pm
Hey Figures, if you haven’t done the honorable thing and ended yourself and you’re still here, I will agree with you on the uniforms being awful. I hope they change that next offseason. Hopefully they got back to something orange, just bring back the original look, but the current look is God awful, just more trash by Nike.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:42 pm
Man, the Dolphins need to get Fitz out of there. I’m not even a Fitz backer, but I feel bad for the guy. He’s 50 years old and they have him playing with third teamers, makes no sense.
August 16th, 2019 at 9:54 pm
Did everyone pass out from boredom?
August 16th, 2019 at 9:57 pm
Time to open up the playbook and give up a spark. Just one page.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:00 pm
That was a really nice job of Griffin just stepping up and letting everyone run by him and making a good throw.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:01 pm
I just got a crazy craving for ham.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:02 pm
Ogu trips on his own feet or he gets a TD…
Surprised the refs didn’t call that back.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:03 pm
Too many predictable runs up the middle, hopefully that’s just preseason dumbing down of the offense…
August 16th, 2019 at 10:04 pm
Jesus, three calls up the middle in a row…
Is Clyde Christensen back calling plays?
August 16th, 2019 at 10:06 pm
Who needs waterboarding when you have this game tape available?
August 16th, 2019 at 10:06 pm
I really hope this goes to OT.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:07 pm
Yeah not a fan of three straight gut runs there
August 16th, 2019 at 10:08 pm
They did three runs last week with a different RB. They must be trying to find the right guy in those situations.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:09 pm
Anyone bucs app not letting them watch game any of the links to watch game do nothing don’t even act like you hit the button. Tried on my iPad and iPhone. Sorry if someone already posted this just did t see anything about from scrolling through 193 comments
August 16th, 2019 at 10:10 pm
I think it was Dare last week too, but they were at the 3, not at the 6 – that’s a huge difference at the goal line area.
In any case not a fan of the call unless we’re getting Alstott out of retirement.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:12 pm
I wonder if we’ll see two series of the Bucs first teamers next week…
August 16th, 2019 at 10:14 pm
David kenney is faaaaast aroumd the corner. Our rushers are quick might end upmgetting burned on screens and draws… Also who ever thay dude 75 isnon the back up line he is a monster. Moving people.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:16 pm
Atta boy Dean!!!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:16 pm
Nice play by Dean!
Griffin can now take us down field for the winning drive, or we can go to OT!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:16 pm
There we go dean! Needs to squeeze the ball tho, almost dropped that one.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:18 pm
These player of the game choices lol if dean didnt just make that pick would he have been on the list? Any of our guys get multiple sacks?
August 16th, 2019 at 10:19 pm
Not much stuff out there on Kenney, he hadn’t played football since 2015 and made the preseason roster based on a tryout practice. Interesting, I had never heard of him and didn’t notice him last week.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:19 pm
We have an Olineman named Ruble? With that last name he has to be a destined 🌟
August 16th, 2019 at 10:21 pm
#83 with no catches this week – I thought they might try to get him more involved this week. I wonder if they’re going to try to hide him for the PS, but outside of his punt returns I haven’t noticed him tonight.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:26 pm
Watson is playing in the 4th quarter and that’s not a good sign. He has dropped two TDs in two weeks.
He is officially a bubble player at this point.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:26 pm
YES! PI review call!
Bucs will obviously lose this, because it’s the Bucs way to lose replay calls.
Although it is preseason, so they might give the Bucs a meaningless call.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:26 pm
Man justin watson is not good at 50/50 balls. Dude gets nerves and drops them damn things. That was not defensive PI… Catch the ball. Yoir 6 foot 3 230. Going up against a small corner. Out muscle him
August 16th, 2019 at 10:27 pm
JimmyJack – Yeah, I thought Watson was the solid #4.
If he’s not the #4, then who is?
August 16th, 2019 at 10:28 pm
Wow, really? I didn’t think that was PI. If that’s PI in the regular season, ugh.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:28 pm
That was an obvious offensive PI lol
August 16th, 2019 at 10:30 pm
Yes that’s a ugly ugly rule Rod……..And I don’t know who our #4 WR is but there’s no way Watson has that spot locked down. He looks bad.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:30 pm
My guy to watch last week, Tanner Hudson, with the TD! There’s just no way they don’t keep him, he just catches everything. From what I heard in camp they compare him to Brate, in that he’s limited physically, but just get the ball to him and he catches it even if a guy is hanging on him.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:32 pm
If thats PI we will see PIs at least double this year. And teams better start chucking the ball all day if they can get freebes like that.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:32 pm
StonedBuc – I’m like winning the call, but that looked like some offsetting PI to me. If they call that kind of stuff in the regular season, the Bucs are going to lose some games to it, and of course when it matters the Bucs won’t get any of those calls.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:34 pm
Dolphins are punting it here? Why? It’s preseason, go for it. Bucs will just run out the clock now. I wanted to see some OT play.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:34 pm
Yes Rod good call on Hudson. If the guy hasn’t earned himself a job it will be a basic endictment on our coaching staff/front office.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:38 pm
JimmyJack – I think they keep four TE’s, so I don’t think he’s in much danger of not making the team, but I’ve heard others insist they only keep 3 TEs. I don’t see it since they start a 2 TE set as their base, which means you need more TEs than most teams.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:38 pm
I like Hudson but man these refs like to throw the flags! Go Bucs!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:42 pm
The guys were celebrating the sack instead of getting back into position and weren’t set, gave the Dolphins an easy first down.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:43 pm
WINSTON = HALL OF FAME LOCK
August 16th, 2019 at 10:44 pm
At least these preseason games have had exciting endings.
By preseason standards anyways.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:45 pm
Alright, 34 seconds, get the ball to midfield and the Gay kicker hit a 65 yarder to win the game.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:47 pm
HAHAHAAHA thats Biuc football
August 16th, 2019 at 10:47 pm
Come on Griffin, you light it up against these 4th stringers…
August 16th, 2019 at 10:50 pm
Damn, Hudson Tanner with another catch, wow…
August 16th, 2019 at 10:50 pm
Tanner Hudson is freaking clutch………Clutch kicker to boot.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:51 pm
I THINK WE HAVE OURSELVES A KICKER!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:51 pm
Wow, Gay with the first game winning kick of his life!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:51 pm
God its so nice to finally have a kicker….and another great TE!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:52 pm
Buddy………Let me guess your gone now. Aren’t so funny for you now is it?
August 16th, 2019 at 10:53 pm
What, the p-word Dolphins take a knee to end the game? What cowards.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:54 pm
Hot damn Hudson, Gay we won a game!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:55 pm
Drop a WR…..keep an extra TE, Hudson!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:56 pm
Hudson has to make the final 53.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:56 pm
Overlooked will be that Ryan Griffen is our best candidate for backup QB……….3 clutch drives in two weeks. Glain Babberett had a chance run off some points to end the half and his offense went backwards.
And I don’t wanna hear about third stringers this or that. You cannot coach or teach clutch.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:57 pm
Wtf. We got a kicker. !!! Wow!! And we got a damn good backup tight end!
August 16th, 2019 at 10:57 pm
JimmyJack – I don’t disagree with you on Gabbert, he’s terrible – I’m not a big fan of Griffin because I don’t think he can do anything against a starting defense, but he’s better than Gabbert.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:58 pm
What more does Griffen have to prove? The only other way he can is as a backup. He has earned the chance.
August 16th, 2019 at 10:59 pm
I will take Hudson over Auclair thank you very much. Auclair has never impressed me. He took back any blocking prowless he had last year with holding calls.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:02 pm
Rod yes Griffen has never been tested. But I personally would be willing to find out what Griffen could do against a real defense & could honestly believe it would be more then Blain which isn’t much.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:02 pm
Nobody knows what he can do against a starting defense dumb a@@!!! You must be a rocket scientist….
August 16th, 2019 at 11:03 pm
RYAN GRIFFIN as backup QB!!! VERY SIMPLE!!! Blaine Gabbert is garbage!!!!!
Griffin’s poise and accuracy in the pocket can not be matched!!!
Drop Gabbert!! Get Er Done BA!!!
August 16th, 2019 at 11:05 pm
Honestly I don’t see why Griffen can’t take Blain’s reps next week and work with the twos…….It won’t guage whether he can perform against starters but will guage whether he can do more then Blain.
And I get it if they wanna keep Blain because what he may bring to the lockerroom but the backup position is too important and if you gotta keep 3 to have Ryan be your backup that’s what you gotta do. QB is just too important of a position. Warrants a extra roster spot if needed.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:07 pm
Tom Brady had not been tested when he took over for Bledsoe. The rest is history.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:07 pm
Griffin lacks any zip on his balls, that’s why I don’t think he can play in a real game. I’ve seen tons of QB’s over the years that are accurate and can make plays against backups, but if you lack that zip on the ball, once you’re going against starters, that stuff is getting picked off or knocked down.
In any case hopefully Winston stays healthy because without him this is a 2-win team, at most.
But, again, I’d keep Griffin over Gabbert since he’s had plenty of chances to play and has always been awful and has zero upside.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:09 pm
On Auclair, said it last week, but he’s the blocking guy. Yes, I’d keep Hudson over him as well, but they really play different roles. I think the Bucs just keep both. Since you don’t need a FB or a TE/FB on this team for this offense, you have an extra spot, which should be for an extra TE. Also with OJ’s injury history, you need to prepare for the worst just in case.
But there’s no way Hudson hasn’t earned his way onto the team, I just can’t see trying to sneak him onto the practice squad.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:12 pm
Rod, we have the QB whisperer. If Griffin ever has to start, or if he gets the #2 nod, they will fix his faults.
Personally, I’d take him over Gabbert. If Arians really is holding a fair competition, he will let Griffin be the #2 next week.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:17 pm
Rod absolutely that the two players different roles and is what makes it a tough discussion.
The only problem would be if they only did wanna keep 3TEs and needed that blocker.
They are in a jam if that’s the case but finding a legit receiving TE is hard to do and very valuable. You can’t just let a guy like that go.
The Bucs must find a way to roster him & to me if that mean you gotta cut Auclair and sacrifice a blocking TE that’s what you gotta do. Auclair is just simply more easily replaced.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:19 pm
Wait is it Griffen with an I or Griffin with an E?……I usually don’t care about speeling but make a exception for player names.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:20 pm
Unless they are kickers
August 16th, 2019 at 11:26 pm
It’s Griffin with an I.
Bonzai – as I said, I agree with you on keeping him, I just don’t see the arm strength you need to be a starter. They see it in practice, so maybe it’s just me, but I’d certainly have him playing next week and sitting Gabbert – we already know what Gabbert is and he’s played in this offense, there’s no upside and the team isn’t going to win under him. With Griffin, he’s at least a wildcard, we don’t know what we have. Again, my opinion is what it is, but hopefully we don’t need to find out.
August 16th, 2019 at 11:34 pm
I really can’t see only keeping 3 tight ends. You would think 4 minimum. 2 tight end sets are a thing and what one guy gets injured and you suddenly don’t have anyone left on the bench?
August 16th, 2019 at 11:37 pm
Thanks Rod Minch
August 17th, 2019 at 2:06 am
Coburn – Yeah, exactly, with a team that starts two TE’s, that’s the base formation of this team, you’re going to keep 4 TEs, in particular with OJ’s history and Brate coming off an injury as well. Plus Tanner has too much tape out there, he’d be picked up by someone.
I think with #83, Schnell or whatever his name is, he might be getting less playing time after last week because they want him on the PS and don’t want him getting more tape out there. If a guy blows up in the 4th quarter of the 1st preseason game, even getting over 100 yards like he did, I still think it’s unlikely another team would take a chance and sign him, so just keep him out of the game, put him on the PS and see what comes of it.
August 17th, 2019 at 11:46 am
Ryan Griffin is a fricking superstar, other than that the Bucs drive me to drink
