Sorry.  Arizona and Tampa would both have to lose this weekend for that to happen.  

Rams too.

Seconded. For those who say we are playing with house money, losing isn’t a big deal in this spot.  But to pull off a win… that would be glorious.

Brady dropped less than 300 with Godwin and AB earlier this year so who knows

I think I would prefer the Rams over the Buccaneers only because Stafford is prone to more mistakes. We know Brady is 95% going to play a great game. Only negative is Stafford can extend the play a little bit while Brady is a statue. If you get to him, you're going to bring him down. But yeah, I slightly prefer LA. They're not as physical as Tampa either, so maybe our physicality (at least on offense) could be more effective in that matchup.

I'm sure this news will be taken well.

Meh, we need to draft some defensive players anyway.

Sounds like he will try  suing them

ABs melt down probably just cost them a chance at repeating , loss of Godwin and him , too much to over come , but he needed to be cut .

we will see. It's likely we dont covet any of the QB's in this years draft. It's also likely we push one of those 1st rounders to next year. 

While having another year with Hurts limiting what you can do offensively will only stunt the growth of our skill players, I can see how they might want to ride it out till 2023 draft.  Not my ideal, but this is what happens when you dont have an elite QB. They are tough to get.

I mean he didn't pick the best place to sit. 

I would be willing to venture a bet that photographers sit in places like that constantly at the end of NFL games.  He wasn't in a bad spot by any means, if the stadium weren't a dilapidated crap hole.  

Something about the Rams makes me think theyd destroy us, theyre hitting they're stride right now. Theyre a solid team and expecting Stafford to basically hand us the game would not be realistic as hes getting healthier.

Id love to see Tampa.  Theres some familiarity which tends to level the playing field, and they seem to be an old, battered team just limping to the finish line.   More straight forward matchup for our defense and as many have mentioned, theyre really banged up.

20 minutes ago, vikas83 said:

Honestly, they may be the best matchup. They haven't beaten anyone other than us and the Chargers very early in the season. Zeke done, Dak struggling and Gallup now out. Plus, they are professional choke artists.

No.  They've had our number lately.  Especially in Jerry World. 

And this sums up the issue with Hurts. He's a stop gap.

Bring on TB. Our DL can get pressure up the middle and that is Brady's issue. They have lost weapons and are coming apart whereas last season they were building momentum at this time.

Several have suggested Tampa but we all know Brady will hang 30+ on us, even with high school receivers. Plus, we know we have to run to win and the Bucs have a great DL.

I kinda prefer the Rams.
