Be a shame if he didn't play in the opener...

Well the last time we played this team they needed a win to make the playoffs and were given a gift and now it's payback time. Right before the half, with no time-outs, Brady completed a pass to midfield and there was not enough time for him to kill the clock. So, the clock operator in Tampa stops the clock at 1 second, which was not reviewed.  In the following 50+ yard throw to the endzone the refs honor Brady with a phantom defensive PI, which is never called, NEVER called. 

Right now I wouldn't care if their flight to Minneapolis gets diverted to Bermuda.

I'm sure Evans will play and I hope he does. I want to see how our new corners hold up against he and a healthy Chris Godwin before we march into Philly four days later

He'll play....unless he's traded. Personally, I think the Bucs are ripe for a tear down.

I remember that.  The Vikings literally pushed Tampa Bay ALL over the field in the first half.   Didn't our kicker miss like 4 or 5 kicks and PATS?

Could be, and if that's the case I hope we call on some of their players on defense

I think I heard ESPN radio say today there is $35mm from Brady on the Bucs books this year. 

Evans is grossly under-paid relative to his peers. Heard his agent gave the Bucs till next Saturday to get a deal done or shelve it for the year. 

You watch, the Bucs will want one of those top 2 or 3 qb's next draft. Evans would be a good security blanket for a rook, but I dont think thats how he sees his career sunsetting.

Agree. I could see a trade and tank. Lavonte David will be 34 by end of year, Barrett will be 31. Evans himself is 30. Their offensive line is in shambles. They're still paying for Brady and have no one at QB or anyone in the pipeline.

He was out last season too, he had 3 knee ligaments & his meniscus damaged. Not sure what role the team played in the decision to try & rehab during last season w/o surgery. But only using platelet rich plasma therapy, to come back & play in a losing wild card game hardly seems worth it. He may be done…

Indefensible. But I'm in agreement with one of the responses to the tweet: "nah, we good."

No one at QB?  What about Baker Mayfield, is he just no one?!  
 :p 

Well I guess the question answers itself.  At least he can sweep out the stadium after the game.
