I don't do Instagram.

Can I just say no to Jameis?

One thing I've noticed is now when it looks like a defense is getting ready to blitz on BY I get excited. Seems like he absolutely thrives when blitzed.

Get the dirty players out of the league.

We were robbed of a win.

Refs saw it. They just chose not to give it to us. Fug the refs.

You guys will eat crow....and you'll like it.

Yes, it is nice. I just wouldn't expect it regardless of how we're doing. Id almost rather they didn't pay attention to us at all. That way when things come together and it all clicks (which it will), no one sees us coming.

Until recently we haven't seen him even throw many 20+ yard passes at all. And we doubted that he can. We trusted what we saw because that was all he was giving us. It made us believe that what we saw was all there was. We're seeing potential now we haven't seen since he was drafted. He's growing ever week showing that he's capable of much more. It may take the rest of this year for him to build into the kind of QB we hoped we were getting when we sold the farm for him. He may not be at the level we were hoping he'd be at by now, but he's getting there, imo. And the team is going to have to grow with him. I'm looking forward to seeing him grow more this year and excited about what we can see next year with the growth and confidence he abd this team will have because of what they are seeing in themselves now. They may not be winning now, but they are learning what they can do and the work they put in now together creates a culture that can win a lot of games.

That's great and all, but those of us who have been around a long time know not to put stock in or care what the national media and narrative is surrounding this team. There's going to be flashes where they love us and periods of time where they hate us and a lot of time where they completely ignore us. For the most part, none of it is due to actually knowing what is actually going on here. And the same is true for half the league. National media is fickle and they turn the narratives on a dime when they care to even pay attention. What you'll come to learn....maybe...is that the national media is always talking out of their ass. Good or bad narratives, they talk out of their ass. It's best not to care what they say. Trust your own eyes and don't look to the national narrative for validation.

Lot of people doing all they can to avoid it.

Who you got?

Well put. I do the same thing and I teach my daughters the same thing.....when something seems too difficult, don't feel like it has to be understood and completed right away. Step back, breathe, and view it from a little distance and you'll see it from a new perspective that will help it all click for you.

Last year was the worst possible situation a rookie QB could be in on every level and I think it messed him up. This year coming in, he put everything on himself but he was still fugged up from last year. He wasn't ready last year. He wasn't ready coming into this year. He needed to step back from it and watch a vet do it for a while. He needed an educated and mentored reboot for his brain and I think he got it. All this stuff was in him, he just had to have his brain reset to get him ready for the next level.

Won't be for long

He must be drinking from the same poison bottle those punk college kids were drinking from over the weekend. Too much of that junk going on and it needs to be shut down quickly and hard.

I doubt that's the kind of dawg we're looking for. Just give him the boot.

But he did and he looked damn good doing it. Apparently he is a QB who can do it. Receivers let him down today. Chuba let him down. Run defense let him down. But he played like a real NFL QB. I know this bothers you ge reality a lot of people in here try to live in. You'll get used to it, though.

It's a shame he'll never get better than he is right now. Cut him.

A rookie looking like a guy who has a lot of room to improve? The horror.

No, this is the kind of loss you want. I don't want any loss.

The problem hasn't been the play design or calling or QB play. It's been dropped balls and a struggling defense. Neither Canales or BY can catch the balls. They're doing everything they can to put players in a situation to get the ball caught and moved down the field. It's on the rest of the players to do their own job.

He's been getting better every week. It's exactly what we've been hoping to see. Will he keep getting better? He's giving us no reason to believe he won't be. Haters are going to keep hating but one by one they'll either just shut up or eat their crow like a big boy....or just keep finding ways to look ignorant.
