NFL GDT: 2021 NFC Wild Card Round: (4) Washington Football Team vs (5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - TB wins 31-23

As a Bills fan all I can say is , feels good.

hoping we can snag schoen as gm. He know Rivera and from what i seen from Rivera a synergestic relationship is important to him

Washington is a competitive quarterback away from being a contender.

Even though it wasn't enough in the end you gotta respect what Heinecke was doing out there, gutsy game by Washington in a tough spot...not sure you're ever gonna see a Ron Rivera team just roll over when they have adversity and they didn't here, definitely not. Tampa, they have all-star team syndrome. Remember what happened to Chip Kelly's Eagles when they brought all those guys in? Chemistry is at least as important as talent. These guys have so much talent it might not matter yet but it will surely matter at some point if they can't get everybody on the same page. Big game by Fournette though with Jones out, that's nice to see.

Hardest position to find.

need at least 2 wr lb help and secondary help. another TE wouldnt hurt Thomas had a sick year but can he sustain it?

True but then again, Washington is doing a throwback to the Joe Gibbs era...build a good team and get a steady QB at the helm.

Im shocked Brown hasn't derailed the team, his career yet..

Bring in Fitz till they develop someone.

Mad props, you've been a soldier for your teams for so long from Bulgaria IIRC. You are a diehard and as much as I don't like you rooting against my team I understand.

Thanks bro and GO CANES.

Its already 7 in the morning in Bulgaria, its time to go to the bed

Tampa might be getting some reinforcements for next week

Of all the awesome guys on this team (and also AB) I think my favourite guy of all is this guy Devin White, man can he fly out there. Love to see a linebacker with wheels like that on the Bucs, this kid could have a future in the Department of Player Safety or whatever they call it down there, if you know what I mean.

 

[John Price]

For a team nobody gave much of a chance they fought damn hard.

Proud of this team.

 

[DueDiligence]

Brady looks nervous on the bench.

Pissed off yes; but Brady is never nervous.

Brown listens to very few people but it seems like he does listen to and respect Brady.

I think people are getting ahead of themselves with comments like "Washington is a QB away from being a contender". It's one game. Their defense would've given up at least 40 if not for TB's drops. And the QB had one great game. One.

If Trubisky balls out today and beats New Orleans, are the Bears now SB contenders? Not imo. Should they still re-sign him? He'll no.

Getting caught up in a very small sample size is very risky for an organization to make. See the 2019 Falcons. Out of the playoff race. But win a few meaningless games. Enough to bring back the incompetent coaching staff. Result? 2020 season over within the first month.

Arians said it best. Their defensive performance would = a loss against a team like the Saints.

A win is a win. You take it.

But I usually look big picture. And unless Brady is Superman, TB isn't getting to a SB.

Still great season though. I know Brady means all in but our young aces are still developing, let's be honest. Not to mention Vea is out. We rely on two rookies in Winfield and Wirfs to be the difference. I don't think is failure if they don't win it, Brady or not.

Brady is still good enough. With better D, we have a shot next year.

Washington is not a QB away (people say that if they traded for Watson they'd become a SB contender) but that being said they are on the step to relevance again. This was pretty big for them to go through what they went through this year, and give it their all in the playoffs. This team will improve on that and hopefully be better next year. The future is looking pretty bright for this team.

Problem is what is the future at QB in Tampa? Brady will be 44 next year.

Would Tampa still take him back? Or are they looking to draft a guy for the future.

I like Arians. But I feel like the ceiling to his coaching isn't good enough.

I don't know. I feel like they are a team that will always be held back by their owner. Toxic.

I think they draft QB and develop him as a backup to Brady. Mahomes situation. Obviously not same caliber prospect.

I thought that they had a good setup with Rosen as the 3rd string guy. He came in right at the start of the season so really no chance for him to be ready to be the backup. Similar to Brady in being a pocket passer, not a mobile guy, so the transition would be more seamless.

But, Rosen got plucked by SF. Not sure how practice squad works, but if Rosen had a choice, I am surprised he signed with SF rather than return to TB next season to compete for the backup role. He's still guaranteed his rookie contract, so he's got money in the bank. Unless Rosen feels like the SF opportunity is better for him, which it might be if they part with Jimmy.

Looking at around pick 26 or later this draft.
