The Birds must score a TD on their first drive 2nd half. This team is not built to comeback from large deficits. It's built to score first and grind it out. This isn't a quick hitting team where you can put the ball in the hands of the QB and expect large chunks of passing yards that don't eat clock. Tough hill to climb here.

On the INT, Goedert was open in the middle right after the snap. I dont understand what Jalen was doing backing up like that....almost looked like something you see when a screen play is called....and then not sure why he threw a line drive there to the corner of the front of the endzone...the throw should have been to the back corner of the endzone where only Devonte could have caught it

Tampa came into this game determined to put the game on Hurts.

He didn’t respond.

Needs to be way better to even have a chance.

Jalen Hurts is a 1st year starter playing in his 1st playoff game vs the SB champ and the GOAT QB.

That's a bit heady.

Bowles is probably the 1st or 2nd best DC in the NFL, he's got big, fast, aggressive personnel that constantly attacks.

Hurts just hasn't seen enough to not struggle some. He's trying to fight back. Give him some slack.

I'd start by putting DeVonta on short crossing routes while letting Goedert stay in the seam about 15+ yards upfield. that gives two good looks in the middle of the field.

How many 1st year starters even make the playoffs let alone have to face the SB champs.

I honestly don't know what sport you think you're looking at.

How are you supposed to be?

Hmmm.... I wouldn't bet on that.

I think he will be the starter but I think we’ll see them looking at Watson again.

I am trying to go easy on Jalen but we’ve already had Smith open on curls and crossers.

Tampa has continued to play Smith one on one with cushion. He has to be the first look until they stop that

Versus the Super Bowl champs.

How did Mac Jones look last night?

100%.

Eagles had 2 scoring chances...Siriani IMO ruined the first one and the INT closed out the last one. Problem is, Siriani is running when it is predictable and throwing when it is predictable...He is not having a good mix IMO, to throw them off. Right now, the Bucs are not crashing the line, becuase they know the pass is coming...need to get under center and show them both run and pass out of it
