3 turnovers at the half.

Same here. But you know this is what AB wanted all along. To be coddled by his QB. To be treated special. Once Juju came in and took away some of the spotlight and love, it was over for AB in Pittsburgh. And once the greatest QB of all time lobbied for AB, took him into his home, made him feel special again in his head, AB was sold.

Not to defend Brady but he has handled a lot of diva WR’s and I think he has the pedigree to handle these guys.

I also think he is at a level where guys want to play with him for obvious reasons.

And Tampa is still winning 21-16 at the break

it’s a MIRACLE !!!!!!!!!

No one said you couldn't win with so many turnovers. Just that the probabilities weren't good.

If they have 3 turnovers in the first half of every game, I think they won't win very often.

Although their offence looked pretty potent....and getting Brady and Gronk late in one of my FF leagues certainly paid off this week.

Those 2 offensive lines were excellent. Got the bow. Kept qb's clean. Very few hankies. Win in the trenches = success.

According to reports not a single Dallas DL made contact with Brady last night. That's not a recipe for a win.

It definitely helps when the kicker is missing chippies too.. lol.

Dallas looked way better than expected and had multiple chances to put TB away.

Brady has enjoyed protection like that most of his career it seems. So many times I see him stand flat-footed, surveying the field like he has not a worry in the world that someone will get to him.

[NJ-STEELER]

I don't want any of our QBs throwing 50 passes.

We'd obviously choose Ben at this point if we had to.

But it was pretty clear over the last few years that this isn't a recipe for success for our team.

you are going to see more and more of it with every team.

that’s the way the league is going.

I hope every team we play this year throws it > 50 times.

It probably means we're winning a lot. And that they'll make more mistakes than we do.

And I think you need a very good QB to make this a reasonable choice. And there just aren't that many of those.

Brady was saved on a few throws. That one to Fournette while falling down.. smh.

Dak also had a few that were so bad the DB was in position but didn’t locate the ball.

Dak was good but he had some ugly ducks throwing to his left in the red zone.

2.4 seconds, that's all he needs, it seems like he's waiting for a bus, but typically, he has released the ball within 2.4 seconds of taking the snap. That's why it seems he's never sacked, he makes a decision and then executes the decision whether it be good or bad, mostly good with him for a long, long time.

I think that was indicative in the past. Throw that many times and it’s because you’re way behind all game.
but Dallas was only behind 9 points max all game.
with one of the better RBs in the league , with a QB coming off a season ending leg injury and a throwing shoulder injury in camp…..and still threw 57 times

the bucs meanwhile were ahead for all but 2 minutes of the game and chucked it up 50 times

You see this happening more and more. This trend will continue to rise with the way they’ve stripped defenses of playing physical against the wrs and QBs

Dallas is 0-17 in last 2 yrs when scoring less than 30 pts. They have to pass cause they can't prevent scoring.

I think part of it was showcasing that Dak is back!

but it's also been their motto since they got Dak.

also, if you pay a QB a ton of money you aren't going to take the ball out of his hands.

all true.

but the Bucs defense is virtually impossible to run against also.

That's the key with him.

[hawaiiansteel]

That's the key with him.

brilliant insight.

that's the key for every QB.
