Buccaneers-Patriots Thursday Night GDT

[Al Bundy]

I don't feel good about this game.. I think Brady is going to carve up the Buccaneers defense.

It was a TERRIBLE display of QBing. He had a QBR of 27.

Alex Smith has had games like that and he deservedly got crucified for it.

Alex Smith has had plenty of games like that an I've crucified him for it. Where he was average in the 4th quarter and relied on his defense to come up with a big turnover. Jameis had a very very good 4th quarter. He scored 7 but he should have had up to 17, and that's including miraculously getting the ball to the 20 with less than a minute and no timeouts. When you manage the game then do your job in the 4th quarter, I'll give credit where credit is due. That was good enough to win the game. It doesn't excuse being bad for 3 quarters but it doesn't make it a bad game by any stretch.
