BY IRA KAUFMAN
Let the real season begin. The warmup season was a stinker.
A week after clinching a third consecutive playoff berth, the Bucs forgot to show up in the second half Sunday during a 30-17 setback at Atlanta. Tom Brady looked sharp in a tuneup stint and the best news is he’s healthy going into next week’s postseason opener against Dallas.
There wasn’t much else to celebrate as Brady closed out the first losing season of his incomparable career. He hit on 13-of-17 throws, highlighted by a TD pass to a ghost named Kyle Rudolph.
Buc Nation can’t wait to close the book on these 17 games. Not only did the Bucs stumble to an 8-9 finish, but Tampa Bay’s scoring differential (minus-45) is the worst in the league’s worst division.
Gulp. [read more]
For The Draft Crazies …
January 8th, 2023
GM Jason Licht
Even with the playoffs here, some Bucs fans can’t shake their obsession with the NFL Draft.
For them, Joe has soothing words. Since Jacksonville finished 9-8 yesterday and the Bucs concluded their season with a 8-9 record today, the Bucs would score the No. 19 overall pick in the draft if they were to lose their opening playoff game next weekend against Dallas.
Now go beat the Cowboys, Bucs, and shut down the draft chatter!
If the Bucs win next weekend, then their first-round pick would be later than all teams eliminated in the wild card round.
