Four Down Territory: The Moss Wave

First Down Back at the beginning of the season I predicted that the Bucs were nothing more than the 2010 “Dream Team” Eagles. After two blowouts at the hands of the Saints I’d like to double up on that prediction. The total points scored between the two teams for the year is truly an LOLOLOLOLOLOL moment. https://twitter.com/ProFootballTalk/status/1325646908870840322 Sunday’s win is the first time in his entire career that Brady has been swept by a divisional opponent. Life sucks when you don’t get the Jets and Bills twice a year, huh? The only statement win this team can hang their hat on is the 38-10 beatdown they placed on Green Bay. It's very impressive but the Bucs may be getting a little too much hype for no reason. The combined record of Tampa Bay’s opponents is 31-33; that includes the Packers. Not that impressive, is it? Bruce Arians isn’t doing his 43 year old quarterback any favors. Brady has attempted 346 passes this year. That’s second to Matt Ryan. Meanwhile they’ve only called 209 rushes, which ranks 20th in the league. We knew going in that Arians going to push the ball downfield but you have a running back group that consists of Ronald Jones, Leonard Fournette, and LeSean McCoy. Establish the run and help out the old man. Luckily, for the Bucs, they can continue to be frauds. Outside of a matchup with Kansas City and the Rams they won’t play a team with a winning record until the playoffs. Seriously, no Super Bowl contender gets cooked by Taysom Hill. For real, look at this. https://twitter.com/ESPNNFL/status/1325625157663285248 https://twitter.com/thecheckdown/status/1325612172647395328?s=20 Bruce Arians, never one to bite his tongue, had some words for TB12. https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1325855876243091457 https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1325856349494804480 AND THE SAINTS HAD THE TIME TO RUB IT IN! https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1325804044905033735 *Let the record show that Arians called Jameis trash anytime he could last year. Dance all over them fools.* MORE SALT. https://twitter.com/Saints/status/1325653734219771904 This is only going to get better. And by better I mean more tension for those of us who enjoy Brady drama before he hits the switch and ends up winning another Lombardi because that's how this ends, right? Second Down The Washington Football Team is in a pickle that they really don't need to be in. Kyle Allen dislocated his ankle Sunday against the Giants. Don't worry, the video won't be posted because watching gruesome injuries is gross and I assume those of you who do watch them eat oatmeal raisin cookies. Monsters. Alex Smith entered and threw for 1 TD and 3 INTs. If only there was a QB Washington could turn to that could put them in a better position to win. After pushing him to the bottom of the depth chart it's time to give Dwayne Haskins a legit shot. Listen, he can't be any worse than Daniel Jones. It's got to be frustrating seeing a guy who almost had his leg amputated getting snaps over a perfectly healthy 23 year old first round pick. That's not going to happen, though. Washington has its eyes on one of the fancy new toys entering the draft in 2021. As it stands Washington would have a top-five pick. A pick they could use on what appears to be a decent quarterback class outside of Trevor Lawrence. It's no secret; Ron Rivera wants to pick his own guy and the irony is that Haskins replacement at Ohio State will probably be his replacement in the NFL. A raw deal in its purest form. Need proof? https://twitter.com/ProFootballTalk/status/1324298431809150983 That's coach speak for "I hope he rented instead of bought." If Haskins is lucky the Colts will find a way to get him to Indianapolis. This....is just pathetic. https://twitter.com/AdamLefkoe/status/1325545429270978561 Free Dwayne Haskins. Third Down The Chargers had the COLDEST uniforms on Sunday. https://twitter.com/espn/status/1325548164426977288 Too bad they were robbed at the end of the game. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1325593282697695239 I don't care what the refs say that's a catch. The Chargers were robbed and are being punished for having the best uniforms for decades. In all seriousness, how much bad luck can one team have? They're 2-6 and the highest margin of defeat has been seven points. This includes blowing a 24-3 lead to Denver in the second half to lose by one point. Another losing season on the horizon will probably cost Anthony Lynn his job. which is sad because he had to sit through three years of Phillip Rivers inventing new ways to hand the game over to their opponents. Now he finally has what appears to be a good quarterback and he won't be around to enjoy it. https://twitter.com/thecheckdown/status/1324127358324940800 https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1325576282759958529 Take comfort in this, Chargers fans. Mahomes is going to dominate for the next 5-7 years. Herbert should be entering his prime as Patrick starts to fade. Just have fun; it's not like there are any expectations right now. PICK TIME! Last week ya boy went 9-5 which brings the season total to 79-50-1 Picks are in red.
