Well three if you count the K who cost us the win.

CB opposite Diggs is a big problem. Brown was abused all night. Good teams will pick on him over and over. They may have to move Lewis outside or put Canady there or even try Wright.

The DL is a problem still. Forget the run game, this DL just can't generate any pressure. Brady rarely felt any real pressure. The DTs get little push. I have defended him in the past but at some point we may have to admit Lawrence isn't really that good of a pass rusher. I think he's a solid all around guy, defends the run well but he needs to be a terror on the edge and he is not.

The way this game went tonight is likely how many of our games against better teams will go. Dak and the O are going to have to score a lot of points this year.
 
Wonder if a certain loud mouth on here will want to continue pretending Brown is going to be good and hiding behind his Dan Quinn knows more than a fan schtick he pulled all week. We need a CB and we need one badly. When a guy has been proven to not be good it isn't likely to change. ow some fans can be so blind to what is right in front of their face is mind boggling

The nice thing is we do have options. But lets be fair. Brown was up against The GOAT and the SB Champions. We won't face passing games like that every week.
 
Don't overreact about our d...we faced a great offense on the road. We will get better bc we are young.

Bossman will start when he gets back..Brown is atrocious.

Gallimore will also help solidify the interior.

This is kind of a cop out. Brown was horrendous. And he's never shown himself to be a starting caliber CB. He's a good depth guy. Other QBs will pick on him and be quite successful at it. I suspect the Chargers and Herbert will go after him often and early.

If they can't find a solution there, this team is going to give up a lot of points.
 
The kicker didn’t lose the game, the terrible performance by the o-line did. They were awful.

We repeat this all the time though it seems when we get run and flaws get exposed. Oh, well that offense is really good and that QB is really good. It will get better. Etc, etc.

The DL is what it is. Gallimore is a nice player but he's not a gamechanger inside. And Lawrence isn't going to get any better it seems. He is a nice all around DE but not that terror from the edge this team needs. This DL is what it is, and what that sadly is, is just mediocre.

It'll matter if we make the playoffs. If the guy can't play decent against a legit playoff contender, then we need help.

To be honest , brown does that to diggs too. He can’t be covered. I saw hi. Abuse Ramsey in the playoffs.
 
There is a long list of cb's Antonio Brown has done that to. Add our Brown to it. Not that big of a deal.

Cooper and Lamb went 100+, I guess tampa should fire their backfield

Brown isn't very good. It's not like we haven't seen Brown get picked on in other years. It was a mistake thinking he could be a starting CB for us while the young guys developed.
 
Kelvin Joseph should and hopeful will get everu chance to make A. Brown a reserve. He has WAY more natural skills and ball skills.

He’s awful. What’s worse is, he runs 4.36. What a waste of speed.

If Brown plays poorly, we have 3 legitimate candidates to replace him by the end of this season.

Well Tampa did lose arguably the best CB early in the game.............

Brown is a bad CB. It's actually a pretty big deal because the better teams on our schedule will pick on him over and over. He's a problem.
