What I saw today was two teams that were able to contain a ground game, play extra men in coverage and frustrate two future, hall of fame QB's. The difference was Tampa Bay was able to generate consistent pressure with their front four, where Green Bay could not. It's that simple, win the trenches, win the game!

Certainly it doesn't help when you have a bonehead HC not going for it down 8 late in the game inside the 10 nor a CB who has no understanding of time getting beat beat at the end of the half.

I don't want to hear people complain when the team doesn't make the exciting, wow pick at 10 this year and takes another offensive lineman or defensive lineman in rd 1 and a two down run DT in rd two. Someone said recently, can you name the starting secondary for the Washington Football Team? Not many can and they are one of the best defenses in the entire league due to their front 4.

Yep, this has always been the case and is still the case even in this pass happy league. If you put pressure on the QB and protect you’re own QB you’re going to win a lot of games.

Agree. When we all talk about fixing the defense, it has to start with the Defensive Line.

On the offensive side of the football, team cannot be held hostage with Tyron's health any longer. He is slowly becoming the Sean Lee of the offense. We don't even know the severity of Collins injured hip at this point. It's time to add another quality Tackle to the mix.

Both QB's had bad games, cause they had to pass against extra men in coverage.


Yea but it's not like green bays defense did nothing. They helped force 3 interceptions...that should have been enough but the offense failed to put up points there. Overall tampa was just better.

I'm ok with OL at 10 but I think the OL is ok. It's clearly the defense that needs talent. At 10 there is options to help the defense and will be BPA

The era's Quarterback for the Ages switches to an NFL footnote franchise, leads them to the Super Bowl immediately, and the conclusion we should draw from that is about the importance of the trenches?

Green Bay did well on defense, just didn't pressure Brady enough in the passing game as Tampa did against Rodgers.

This fanbase wants Surtain lol. Dont get me wrong, if he was jalen Ramsey sure, but he's not.

Outside of Winfield Jr., nobody even knows the names in Tampa's secondary. The same thing can be said about the Chiefs and the Honey Badger.
