Thursday Night Football - Buccaneers vs Falcons

[nate dizzle]

We don't have fans like that. They were actually rooting for their team and excited to get that win and go 3 and 2. They have never even won 1 Super Bowl.

Your shtick is weird. You and the other 2-3 guys that obsess over fanhood. Weird.

Oh wow...the Falcons fans were excited because they had a huge overtime victory where their QB actually stepped up when his defense was getting shredded.

What. A. Shocker.

The stadium was full of their fans and they were rooting for their 2 and 2 team.

The running back fumbled the ball with 2:55 left

true, but what was the D doing the rest of the game when it mattered?
bottom line the O put thirty on the board
the D could not make that stand up

That final drive after Tampa was a huge mess. To go from 1st and 10 from Atlanta 28 with 1:44 left to punting 3 plays later with only 20 seconds left, is pathetic. Not only that, the punter boots it into the endzone for a touchback. This was right after the terrible drive after Tampa turned it over to Atlanta. Very fun game but very sloppy at times. Baker also missed a wide open Evans that would have easily scored on their final drive to seal the win. Baker looked locked into the screen from the start and didn't even attempt to look anywhere else. Defense seemed to think the same thing and keyed hard on the screen and let Evans run by.

Huge win by Atlanta to keep in that race. And a big loss for Tampa to go from a possible 4-1 to now 3-2, division loss and behind Atlanta in the standings. These types of games always come back into play at season's end since most divisions are decided in the final weeks.

As great a game as Baker played otherwise and it was that, in the most crucial moment he screwed up
story of his career

Agreed. If he could take it to the next level, and he's close, he could be considered very good. He did this at OU, too. Just couldn't get over the hump in the big games. That playoff game against Georgia comes to mind. Jumped out to a big lead and looked great. But fizzled out come the 2nd half and all they needed was just one play here or there but he failed to deliver. Remember this in that playoff game against the Chiefs when he was with Cleveland. Got the ball back twice with a chance to win that game but failed both times. Tampa's offense fizzled out that 2nd half. Evans didn't have one catch. Baker didn't do much.

I still think Baker's play for his pay makes him a good value. He isn't making top QB money but he will usually lead you a good offense.
