COMMENT ALL GAME LONG below on your favorite starters and backups!
Be nice. Go Bucs!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:06 pm
Ridiculous we’re going to be subjected to noodle armed Bridgewater with the starters.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:08 pm
Go Get It Shiloh
August 16th, 2025 at 7:08 pm
ughh what a way to start up the gut for 1 yd and penalty on the sub
August 16th, 2025 at 7:08 pm
Put Trask in for the second series and watch the board go crazy.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:08 pm
good throw, too bad he wasn’t getting protection.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:09 pm
Oline. ugh.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:09 pm
That series was hot garbage.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:09 pm
There’s the Teddy we know, 3rd and long and he throws well short of the sticks to help his competition percentage stat.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:09 pm
Uggh Get him out! Who had this idea….OUT!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:10 pm
Wow, talk about killing all the good vibes coming out of last week and the scrimmage.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:10 pm
Nice defense.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:10 pm
how bad is trask for the bucs to take someone off his couch last week to be the backup?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:10 pm
wow.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
I’m willing to bet Teddy would of started last week if he knew the playbook better.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
Great play by Zyon.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
Uh, oh… #77 is getting beat like a drum. Not a good start. If he can’t handle second stringers we’re in trouble.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
Bridgewater is a joke, great play on the ball Zyon
August 16th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
Looks like defense wants to show up at least.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
Yeah that was a bad penalty on Heck.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
Pro Bowl for Zyon!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:13 pm
Ints in 2 straight games. I’ll take it
August 16th, 2025 at 7:13 pm
Bowles likes his hair.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:13 pm
o line is getting stoned
August 16th, 2025 at 7:14 pm
Why is Trask not playing?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:14 pm
3 runs up the middle in 4 plays! YES! Bowles BALL is BACK!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:15 pm
Aw crap,. Injury already. I knew that was going to be bad for McMillan
August 16th, 2025 at 7:15 pm
geez concussion
August 16th, 2025 at 7:15 pm
Nice hospital ball you idiot Bridgewater.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:15 pm
Threw right sopt to get reciever killed.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:16 pm
I mean you gotta be kidding…
August 16th, 2025 at 7:16 pm
Great the starters out with this scrub Bridgewater out there.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:16 pm
right on his head and neck. let’s just get all of our starters killed right before the season starts. SMH.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:16 pm
A-hole type tackle by Porter.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:16 pm
Wow
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Jalen’s season just ended.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm

Nothing wrong with the defender there, that’s a terrible pass by Teddy, put it in a place that if the receiver catches it they’re getting hurt.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Why in the world are we playing this bum? His rainbow just got McMillan about paralyzed
Why all the sudden Trask is 3rd team? This is stupid
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Smh…
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Geez they need to put all third and fourth stringers in now.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
TEDDY THREW A HOSPITAL BALL WTF
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Bowles is an idiot. Bring Kyle in now.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Porter is one pf the players I hate most. He’s a #ucker. Steelers have always been dirty.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Sometimes we do such idiotic crap. WTF is Bridgewater in the game with the 1s? He just injured if not KILLED or CRIPPLED one of the best young receivers.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
So with Teddy we come out running and fall behind, with trask we come out throwing,…teddy 3 and out, trask drove…yeah now overthrow MCMILLAN and possibly injured him…..def see enough….
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Just got the air knocked out of him. He will be okay.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Bridgewater is a curse
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
Kyle would of never
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
If that doesn’t warn you to take out Bucky before something happens, idk what will…
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
Steelers take pride in injuring people. They are a murder team.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
Get the goddamn starters out of these meaningless games
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
You don’t put a scrub player like Bridgewater out there with starters when he sucks, and doesn’t even know the playbook. There’s zero reason for Teddy to be on that field right now.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
Anybody thinkin Bridgewater is a backup needs rehab
August 16th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
Ouch, Hope McMillan is ok!
Was that a bad throw by the QB that led to the WR being open to getting smashed?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:19 pm
Personally I hope a couple of Steelers seasons end tonight.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:19 pm
Otten. WTF? LoL. Its only pre season.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
agreed Rod, he is going to get the receivers killed.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
Man did Bowles just completely kill the good vibes of this preseason with this idiotic move.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
Okay well clearly Cade needs to stay out there another series haha. He might be a guy that needs to get an early catch under his belt every game so he doesn’t start dropping when it matters.
Our TEs are going to have a lot of dropsies this year, aren’t they?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:21 pm
Otton better tighten up. Culp is playing his behind off!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:21 pm
Trask should ask for a trade after this insult.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:21 pm
They’re still trying to make Otton a thing? This team needs a legit TE
August 16th, 2025 at 7:21 pm
Stay healthy, Bucs.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
77 is great. The DE walked around him.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
BOOM
August 16th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
Get all the starters out of there, Hospital Ball Bridgewater is going to get more people killed.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
Nice. FIRE THE CANNONS!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
Okay there, Bucky is ready, now take him out
August 16th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
The run blocking….where is it
August 16th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
Why no penalty for hitting defenseless receiver he was in the air
August 16th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
Bucs have-to get another LT.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
There’s not much to do to stop dirty play. #17 for the Steelers…(SMH)
August 16th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
Nice!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
Nice catch by Bucky! That’s the same play we kept reading about in practice notes that were getting caught by Bucky for big yards.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
Knew Steelers would target Chase’s leg
August 16th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
We need to run a play to the Steller sideline and target their head coaches knees.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
Bucky must have done 1000 jugs per day because he has become a heck of a receiver !!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
We still gon fuss about Teddy and Todd and Grizz
August 16th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
will trask win the #3 qb spot?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
Corner fade to Bucky lol that was awesome.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:25 pm
As you can see, I hate the Steelers more than any other team in the league.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:25 pm
Are they trying to injure our players? That undercut on McMillan then running into the kicker’s plant leg? Sheesh.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:25 pm
Yes I will still fuss…only got a 2nd chance cause of penalty on kicker….2 glove teddy sucks….
August 16th, 2025 at 7:26 pm
On radio they say McMillan sounds like he’s OK, so Teddy won’t be charge with getting him murdered. Good to know.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:27 pm
j mac looks ok
August 16th, 2025 at 7:27 pm
You want to know why Bridgewater is out there? Bowles likes him…personally. Hes probably giving him a chance to get some tape out there. If he gets someone hurt I am going to be so pissed off.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:27 pm
Longseason says: “As you can see, I hate the Steelers more than any other team in the league.”
Yes, but do you hate them as much as Rod Munch hates Teddy Bridgewater? 🙂
August 16th, 2025 at 7:28 pm
Shutup with the whining about the Steelers hitting people. If you’re angry at the Steelers playing football, then go watch the WNBA, that’s probably more your speed.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:29 pm
Suprised teddy got the start
August 16th, 2025 at 7:29 pm
Okay guys. ame our pro bowler this year!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:29 pm
Yep this is Bowles guy. he likes his style.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:29 pm
It’s one catch Atl calm down!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Virtual measurement
Whoop-di-doo
August 16th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Reddick in coverage again
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
tez
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
reddick dropped back in coverage on 3rd and 8
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
I hope they’re calling run plays they suck at cuz man that was rough drive running the ball
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
I thought the stupid virtual crap was supposed to be fast.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
There’s Tez
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
tez looked slow? just me?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
The Tezmanian Devil. I coined it.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
It would be nice if Tez could lock up the PR/KR job. We’ve been missing that guy for a long time.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
Tez just made the team, see ya later Palmer.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
tez almost broke it.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
Okay Tez, not bad
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
Was that a Tampa Bay punt returner who runs north and south?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
We finally have a returner!!! First since Spurlock!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
Tez!

Just you.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
yeah tez was shifty but a little slow on the last cut.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
Buc’s have found their punt returner!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
The depth is so much better on this team
August 16th, 2025 at 7:32 pm
Tez just made the 53 man roster
August 16th, 2025 at 7:33 pm
Dirty football is not good, hard football. Idiots.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:33 pm
Ok Tez!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:33 pm
That wasn’t 4.5 speed
August 16th, 2025 at 7:34 pm
I think special teams is going to be much improved this year with the new punter and Tez at punt return
August 16th, 2025 at 7:34 pm
Guys! There’s no game-planning and the plays are very basic.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:34 pm
I’ve seen #5 drop in coverage more then rush. So damn dumb
August 16th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
The 4.5 speed thing for Tez is nonsense, he was clocked in a game last year at over 22mph, which when I did the numbers, I think worked out to be the 5th fastest play last year if it happened in the NFL.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
Bowles gonna get another starter hurt?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
Let’s go Tez
August 16th, 2025 at 7:35 pm

That’s what will put us over the top!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
Bucky is insane but why are we giving him receiving reps, when we have so many receivers? Why keep him on the field to take receptions?!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
Teddy is really inaccurate. The Bucs receivers are making some incredible plays to bail him out.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:36 pm
Yet they still scored grandpa. It’s preseason now I know where Jeff gets it from. Lol
August 16th, 2025 at 7:36 pm
Pfffft
August 16th, 2025 at 7:37 pm
Teddy missed Bucky underneath and to his left
August 16th, 2025 at 7:37 pm
They kept running up the left side and it kept getting blown up. Are they trying to test heck,?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:37 pm
Shep making the decision at WR difficult. Good.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:38 pm
WHAT A JOKE.
Can’t believe they didn’t give Trask a chance to player with the starting line.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:38 pm
Well the Bucs offense with a scrub QB and no Evans is still dramatically better than the Steelers 2nd team defense.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:38 pm
Time to take Bucky out after he scores
August 16th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
Emeka!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
OMG!!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
The new Plan 9 ROCKS!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
Sterling makes the roster . EE is great!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
We have the best WR group in the league
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Bridgewater haters in shambles LOL!
Just mad that the Bucs found an actual backup quarterback
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Heck looks OK so far.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
what a feeling to be able to trust your backup, must be a great relief for the players
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Wow, Double-E with a great catch, wow are these Bucs receivers playing well.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
That catch was ridiculous
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Buc’s found their backup QB!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Teddy is looking better than expected.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Teddy ballin
August 16th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Damn I hate it for Trask but man Teddy looks as good or maybe a little better in just two weeks?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
watching the diagram football on ESPN is Jalen Mcmillan ok?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Teddy just won the backup job unless trask goes off literally just signed with the team 2 weeks ago and drove the offense downfield two straight scoring drives like nothing
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Egbuka is the real deal.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Teddy is balling glad EE is getting targets
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Wouldnt take Rod Mushes QB evaluations too seriously….
The guy who Infamously hated the Mayfield signing and called him the “worst QB in the NFL”

August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Buka is going to be so good
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Can’t lie. He settled down after that first drive.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
IM SO READY FOR THIS SEASON
LFG!!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
not bad for just 1 quarter! lol!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:42 pm
I bet the kids from Teddys’ team are going crazy right now lol
August 16th, 2025 at 7:42 pm
Pull the starters now please.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:42 pm
Did Egbuka just do that
August 16th, 2025 at 7:42 pm
My only hope is that Bridgewater is in to keep Trask from getting injured. Still probably shouldn’t have the starters behind Teddy, but maybe they need more reps idk.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
DEAN LOL
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Dean is toast!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Dean in mid season form
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Egbuka is going to be good for us because he can win in single coverage in a lot of ways and bust zones
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Jamel Dean a liability. Half the time he just looks like a smoke screen
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Where is the pressure?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Jamel Dean absolutely sucks….
How long are we gonna keep trying this failed experiment??
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Dean….
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Tykee was lagging behind
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
This Steelers TD drive courtesy of Jamel Dean.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Damn Dean is looking bad on these back to back plays
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
D E A N
August 16th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Crazy, Trask rarely has played with the starters a couple times his whole career here and TB is here a week and gets to play with them. Yeah, they don’t believe in the guy. Period.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Dean is goona end up starting the season on the bench!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Damn Dean u still stuck
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Smh Dean, cmon man
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Dean making a case for not making team
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
That was not PI on Dean – that was hand fighting and the receiver hooked him first. Come on.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Heck of a start for Bridge. He has the ability to take us over troubled waters
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
earth to Dean
August 16th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Where tf are our safeties?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Theres that wonderful Super Todd Defense we’ve come to love so much…
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
D line and OLBs have nothing.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
lmao and he allowed the TD?!? I was kinda hoping honestly. Benjamin Morrison please heal yourself young man
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Dean was in his pocket, dude pinned his own arm
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Release Jamel Dean.
He’s absolutely terrible
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
DEAN AGAIN!!!!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Dean beat again
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Dean is the victim of all 3 plays that lead to the TD – as I said he is in mid season form – can we see Parrish?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
That was a terrible call
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA 35
August 16th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Defense got cooked by rudolph
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
Damnit… im trying to defend you bro lol
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
No pass rush
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
Ira may be in to something Dean played terrible that drive
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
Zone defense… YAY!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
like triple coverage. have they never heard of over under coverage? geez. CBs and Safeties just standing around. lol.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm

Not really, Vita got good penetration
August 16th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
Same buc defence
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Just a guess, but I think Trask is the for sure backup. Bowles is probably trying to help teddy out by having him put out good film with a good offense so he can hopefully pick up a backup job somewhere else.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Dean is trash
GO BUCS
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Only good note, the Steelers had their first team offensive line out there according to radio, so at least it wasn’t scrubs doing that.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Kancey is not good enough!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Trask in wit da scrubs
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Defense still trash!! Or should I say ok but streaky
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Alright Trask lovers, here you go…
August 16th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Starters had better be out, we’ve seen enough.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
Grizz is doing a good job , Todd not so much.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
Jamel Dean doing Jamel Dean things…
Didn’t the Steelers second string long to find the weak link.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
Well… easy answer
August 16th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
Gotta see better pass rush
GO BUCS
August 16th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
This has happened time and again last year. Dean getting beat at critical times. That’s why Todd has continue to say that Parrish is a starter and was an outside player
August 16th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
So there we go, Trask in with the scrubs.
Tucker can’t make the catch on the inaccurate throw – the same inaccurate type of pass that Teddy was making and getting bailed out by amazing catches by the receivers.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
WHY WOULD THEY PULL THE STARTING LINE WHEN THEY LET TRASK PLAY?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
Poor Trask… He gets “blessed” with the backup O-line all of the time. I honestly feel for him in that aspect.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
Damn trask is slow af

This has happened time and again last year. Dean getting beat at critical times.
——-
He wasn’t beat on the Scotty Miller play, was supposed to have safety help over the top, and Smith was late getting there.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
Trask has 0 escapability….we see Mayfield get out of those situations every game
August 16th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
Trask has still never had an opportunity to play with the starting line. UNREAL
August 16th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
O line got bull dozed.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
LOL Mayfield isn’t avoiding that sack. Entire line collapsed.

wide open.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
PI was a poor call, but Dean won’t be cut just yet—he’ll lose his starting job first. It’s the old tolerate him until a replacement is available. Unless/Until Parrish or Morrison prove they can step up, we’re unfortunately stuck with him….
August 16th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
He didn’t hold the ball too long, no one was open lol
August 16th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
Bowles set up Trask. Wonder where he will end up playing? He will walk on the Bucs.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:52 pm
No pass rush again
August 16th, 2025 at 7:52 pm
Scrubs all in on defense now.
So that was fun, we got to watch Bridgewater throw some hospital balls, get bailed out by receivers making amazing catches, and even got to see a big play by Scotty Miller!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:53 pm
Refs sound like they’re getting warmed up…….helping out Steelers. Still, ME13, CG14, and EE, what a trio!!!!! Go Bucs!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:53 pm
Trask may try to get cut.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:53 pm
Face it he just isn’t that good there’s a reason Teddy’s here and played with the 1’s
August 16th, 2025 at 7:53 pm
Idk why y’all are hating on Trask in this game. Not his fault. Would you be hating on Brady for going down in those situations too? Didn’t know you had to escape to be a good backup?

That’s because they are still trying to support the Mayfield decision. Kyle is much better than Baker at pushing the ball down the field. I’ve grown to love Baker but Kyle is still a lot better passer. Baker brings the intangibles but our last two seasons have ended on Baker turnovers.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:54 pm

August 16th, 2025 at 7:54 pm
I think we’ll keep 3 QBs on the roster if we want to keep Teddy. We may feel like he needs some more time to learn the playbook just in case?
August 16th, 2025 at 7:54 pm
Im trask fan, but I would like he bucs to cut him….they treat him like crap….let him go..teddy thew 50% completion. I get it 2 TD….but with 1st team….now the practice squad is out there….I would do an AB move and.walk off with the peace sign…thx but no thx

I’m not trying to bash Baker but he had one of the worst pressure to sack rates of starting QB’s. Only Will Levis and Caleb Williams were worse

August 16th, 2025 at 7:56 pm
For the dopes complaining about Dean, as usual they have no idea what they’re watching.
On the long throw to Miller, Dean clearly was supposed to have help over the top and Smith wasn’t there, late to get back.
On the PI call, that was nonsense. The Steelers WR literally had Dean hooked, then let up and Dean returned the favor – and like always, the stupid refs only saw the back half of the play and called the bogus PI.
On the TD, the Bucs were in zone, not man to man. Hard to tell on that one from the TV view if Dean blew the coverage, it looked like he bit on a QB run – but again hard to tell, but it wasn’t him getting beat in man.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:57 pm
43!!!!! Somebody wants to hit the QB!!!
August 16th, 2025 at 7:57 pm
Braswell made a play – that’s got to make the Braswell haters upset. Not sure why they so badly want our 2nd round pick to fail.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:57 pm

I think a lot of people wanted to finally see Trask get at least a couple of drives with the starting line and some of the starting WRs and see what he could do. Bridgewater was throwing some really inaccurate balls and getting bailed out big time by the receivers – that’s what people want to see with Trask, does he get bailed out, does he fail – this was the time to finally see that, and instead we got Hospital Ball Bridgewater trying to get guys killed.
August 16th, 2025 at 7:59 pm
Defense waking up?
August 16th, 2025 at 8:00 pm
Dom, what you said is just not accurate. Mayfield is a known as one of the top escape artist in the league. You arent watching the games if you havent noticed that by now.
“In the 2024 NFL season, Baker Mayfield had a pressure-to-sack rate of 25.2%, according to PFF. This means that out of all the times he was pressured by the defense, he was sacked 25.2% of the time. While this rate placed him 13th among qualified quarterbacks, it’s worth noting that he also had a strong performance under pressure, ranking highly in other key stats“

Exactly Rod Munch. Its been 5 years now and a 2nd round pick can’t even get a couple series with the stating offensive line and some starting skill players in a meaningless pre season game. You already know what you have in Teddy

The Bucky catch was fantastic, and so was e2, so was the McMillan catch. Teddy got it close enough, but on nearly every other team in the NFL, those are not catches. But the hospital ball was terrible, hard to overcome that in my mind if you take out one of your top young WRs on a terribly overthrown ball.

August 16th, 2025 at 8:08 pm
@Tbbucs3
He absolutely can get away from sacks but that doesn’t take away that his pressures turn into sacks at a high rate. He also will run into and create unnecessary sacks. Reducing bad plays like sacks and INT’s, and being more accurate with his long ball are the improvements he will need to make to go from a B-B+ QB to an A QB

It can be a good throw and an amazing catch – they’re not mutually exclusive. Most RBs are not making that catch, regardless of the throw.

August 16th, 2025 at 8:16 pm
Let’s face it. Bowles and Trask don’t see eye to eye. Bowles would rather give a well traveled HS school coach, with no playing time last year, a better chance to succeed than Trask. This is obviously personal. Love or hate Trask, he has not been given any chance to succeed under Bowles.
Bowles even keeps Mayfield in the game during blowout games, no matter who has the lead. He defies any logical explanation to not give Trask a chance, even in a game already decided.
This is petty, and one reason I’m not the biggest Bowles fan.
The players love Bowles! I don’t wanna hear that. I want players who respect their coach, despite the “nice guy” syndrome which Bowles exudes
Plenty of time to like your coach after retirement.

I realize someone at one Buc enjoys watching Dean chasing WRs from behind- but it’s really not conducive to winning.
Our running game looks like 2 years ago. One up the middle, 2 up the middle, then pass- punt!
I hope Grizzard is playing it close to the vest because it’s preseason.
Otherwise, We’ve seen this before. Send out applications.

August 16th, 2025 at 8:23 pm

In Madden 26, Gaines has a ridiculously high rating, like a 76 or something, meanwhile they give Kancey something like a 68 – the guy literally had 7 1/2 sacks in 12 games as a DT and they disrespect like that, while Gaines, who has done nothing, gets a much higher rating.

I would agree Trask has not looked great. But his left tackle has played football for a year and a half, and the rest of them aren’t stellar either. How did he not get reps in the first quarter with real OL?

Bridgewater was the backup QB, the minute they signed him.
They watched Kyle for one week- and ran to the phone to start calling old QBs!
No hard feeling Kyle- I wasn’t good enough to get signed to a contract.
The NFL for the very few. You made a boatload

Our rookies are playing well.
Braswell finally showing up, hope to see it again next week.

Number 83 does not want to get hit he’s worthless, backed away from fielding a punt and we lost ten yards. Slid down instead of getting hit after catching a pass from Trask.

Trask was really good last week, but is not having a good night tonight. Bridgewater got some amazing catches from his receivers, while Trask has gotten a couple of drops and some really bad offensive line play. That’s why people wanted to see Trask starting, instead of watching him throwing to scrubs.
But sounds like the writing is on the wall. Again, I’m not the biggest Trask fan, but I wanted to see the kid get a legit shot at least once in his time here. No idea why they resigned him.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:41 pm
Trask is playing with olineman who won’t be making the team as well as the receivers so yea that’s why he’s not playing as well as last week. You guys act like he’s not getting pressured every down and should still be throwing for 2 or 3 touchdowns lol… glad that the team don’t make decisions based off y’all’s opinion. More wish washy than a teenage girl
August 16th, 2025 at 8:41 pm
Dirty low class move by Bowles slapping Trask in the face. Of course greasy JBF is right there piling on. Disgusting and low class.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:41 pm
Trask resigned with the Bucs, which means the Jags, Panthers and Raiders passed on him. Three teams that in Coen, Canales and Brady that have been in practice with him. Last I checked coaches have a right to chose who they want if said player is available (Teddy is probably an Arians move)
August 16th, 2025 at 8:41 pm
bartow, it looked to me like he was trying to kill the clock for the timeout.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:41 pm
Typical preseason. Highlights: our punter, Vildor (sp?), and EE proving why he was drafted #1.

Teddy was playing with first stringers. They started flat, but turned it around. Trask is playing with second stringers and having an off night, so far. Baker would have a great game and suck on another. It’s called football.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:43 pm
whichever QB has real offensive linemen is gonna look better than the one that doesn’t, obviously
August 16th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
So, Trask is stuck with backups yet again. Stick Bridgewater with them, Bowles.

Ballzsacks college tape stinks, want to talk about an inaccurate QB. I don’t see how that guy even makes the practice squad, but it sounds like the Bucs are making him their 3rd QB. Baffling.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:54 pm
“Izien being out with an oblique injury is now the biggest news..“
Yup, shut him down.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:55 pm
I do wonder if Trask got hurt, those last two passes were pretty bad – very weak, no zip. That was not an issue last week.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:56 pm
Godwin was knocked out for the season cos Ravens D/Harbaugh deliberately illegally almost crippled him. Usual crap with Refs.
August 16th, 2025 at 8:56 pm
Now Jarrett catches that ball, clearly the team is conspiring against Trask!
August 16th, 2025 at 8:57 pm

August 16th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
Trask played very well last week with the first group of players. He made great throws to McMillan and EBUKA. EBUKA dropped a perfectly thrown TD pass from Trask.
The Trask led offense scored 13 points last week. A kicker missed the extra point.
I wouldn’t write Kyle Trask off yet.
Go Bucs 2025 !!
August 16th, 2025 at 9:02 pm
Bridgewater is going to be #2. Trask #3 or practice squad.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:02 pm
bazelak could have thrown picks on those two lollipop overthrows. slant looked good, otherwise, a bunch of clowns out there. miller just made a ST tackle, but juggled the slant. gotta keep shep. miller if we’re injured.

He threw those pretty well last week two, but man, his college tape is bad. So many passes where guys are wide open and he just repeatedly misses them – could be anywhere, short, medium or long. From Joe’s notes in practices, it sounded like he was still doing that. Maybe they’re working with him on those crossing routes to see if he can get those down, then will expand the playbook if he does. Personally, watching his college tape, I just don’t see an NFL talent, he’s way too wild, but obviously the Bucs think different since they signed him – I hope they’re right.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:04 pm

I’m not a UF fan, not since Spurrier coached there.
Also hated the draft pick, hated his college tape, he threw rainbow puffball garbage in college and that doesn’t translate to the NFL. But the Bucs basically retaught him how to throw the ball, and he has been getting a lot more zip on the ball the last couple of preseasons – and he looked really good last week. No idea why people root against him so hard, in the limited snaps were we see him, he’s generally looked quite good.

As much as I want him to make the team, if I take away bias, there’s no way on play alone that Tez has earned a position on this team.

Yeah Tez. NO.

@Rod Munch
1. Holy crap what kind of crap team employs Darden to this day?!
2. I’m well aware. Only hurts his chances.
3. I actually like Tez Johnson but the football IQ for returning has been one of the worst I’ve seen in a single game. And then you add the bad drop on a wide-open pass….
August 16th, 2025 at 9:14 pm
I’d take Greene over Tez for punt returns. He can go to the practice squad.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:15 pm
Rod Munch
Trask was a heisman finalist and his college tape was great and that’s why Tampa picked him. He’s a good throwing qb just got picked by the wrong team that won’t give him reps or a chance imo. He could be a backup in the nfl not a starter but they should definitely see in live game being they spent a second round pick on him. Teddys a injury probed guy who won’t win nothing we have already seen that
August 16th, 2025 at 9:16 pm
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I’m guessing the coaches chewed him out for letting a punt go earlier in the game and that maybe got in his head there. Not a good excuse by any means, but I’m reaching for hope.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:17 pm
Hunter Says:

——–
That absolutely was not a drop, he’s running full speed and the pass was literally directly above his head, he’d have had to make an amazing catch to snag that out of the air. Even Dave Moore on radio said that, and he’s pretty tough on receivers.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:19 pm

August 16th, 2025 at 9:19 pm
Darden didn’t play in 2023 and had 1 single catch last year
August 16th, 2025 at 9:20 pm
Rod…… if that’s not a bad drop, then there’s no such thing as a bad drop. The ball was there. Period.
If ANY WR has a catch radius that small, then they have no business sniffing the field in a uniform. That’s an absolutely absurd take.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:20 pm
if Baker goes down, we are not going very far with Trask or Bridgewater(injury prone) it will be essentially over if it is a serious injury
August 16th, 2025 at 9:20 pm
hunter thinking same thing. he calls for a fair catch, they say you should have run. he lets a dangerous ball land rather than catch the punt, and it takes a Steelers bounce and makes him look bad again. so they tell him he needs to be more aggressive. then he lets another ball hit the turf and realizes oh snap i’m supposed to be aggressive, so he runs after it and chokes. thrown in the dropped pass on a crosser (high pass though) and he’s deeper in his own head than he’s been since freshman year. if you’re gonna keep a guy like him, i’d rather it was greene. at least he can play QB in a pinch lol. tougher too it seems.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:21 pm
If Trask can’t play well in preseason games why should he get a chance in the real games?

——-
Talking about his college tape for an NFL player, he threw a bunch of soft serve crap that doesn’t work in the NFL, which is why they literally had to reteach him how to throw the ball – they’ve even said they had to do that.
Trask was basically a modern (but worse) Danny Wuerffel – except Trask is big enough that they could get him to whip his arm more to add velocity. He still doesn’t have good velocity, but it’s at least NFL capable now. I’ve been overall impressed with his improvement overall, which is why I wanted to see him out with the starters tonight.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:24 pm
Me too, Rod. Agree 100 about Trask.

Rod…… if that’s not a bad drop, then there’s no such thing as a bad drop. The ball was there. Period.

Can guys sometimes make that catch, sure, but the vast majority of the time, people are not reaching straight up, running full speed, and snagging the ball out of the air – there is no one that knows anything about football that labels that a drop, and certainly no one with any credibility would claim it’s a ‘bad drop’.
Again, if you ever listen to radio, you know Dave Moore is pretty tough on guys, and he said literally the same thing, that it’s not a drop, that Ballzsack has to lead him better.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:26 pm
The good news is that I think Tez played bad enough to not get stolen off the Practice Squad, which is where I’m guessing he’ll end up for sure now.
The #1 thing you need from a returner is 100% trust (that he won’t turn the ball over or do something stupid). Unfortunately he’ll never have that trust back. Not anytime soon, at least.
So then it comes down to his receiving ability. Def potential there, but that bad (and I do mean bad) drop was no bueno.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:27 pm
In the very limited snaps I’ve seen Greene, he’s really impressed. He needs to make the practice squad for sure – plus give him snaps at QB, would be a great gadget player down the road perhaps.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:27 pm
What was with the catch where Tez caught it and slid immediately?
August 16th, 2025 at 9:27 pm
I just want Trask to get some serious playing time with the 1st string Offense. No, I didn’t go to UF/FSU and have no dawg in that fight.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:29 pm
Kill the clock. They called a timeout immediately. There was what, 35 seconds left in the half at the time? Actually a smart move. Didn’t appear he was going to break out.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:30 pm
I hate the Gators, and I still believe in Trask as a serviceable backup. Not by any means infatuated with him, but he’s the kind of guy that would probably play better in a real game situation than what he’s shown so far.

Thanks Joe..
That was my guess too, but it might have been worth a second or two to try and yac. I mean we called time out immediately anyway.
Tex’s first return was nice, but after that, just not good. The whole team for that matter. We clearly don’t have the depth we thought we did. Maybe expectations can be tempered now and we can get to work.
Coaches too.
August 16th, 2025 at 9:34 pm
BTW, I looked it up and Darden was 5th in punt return yards last year – was upper middle pack in terms of yardage (hard to give a number since they don’t really filter out the guys who only have a couple of returns). Also averaged nearly 27-yards per kickoff return, which was pretty much middle of the pack.
People hated on Darden, but year in, year out, even with the Bucs he was a middle of the pack returner.

If Tez is gutless, why did he try picking up the ball and making a play? Wouldn’t a gutless player just run away and not want to be around the ball?
These anti-Tez idiots are just not very smart. The kid made a great play earlier, then made a bonehead play later. This is actually a good use for preseason. If he does that bonehead play again in the regular season, then that’s when you go nuts and act like a psycho.
