1000 Yard Season is 59 Yards a Game & should no longer be milestones of exceptionalism like it used to be. The mark needs to be bumped up to 1200 Yards at 70-71 Yards a Game.

[@chriscole4538]

Do y’all even do any research or just spew the same national media narrative that Atlanta is so much better just because of an old injured QB! Cousins is 36 coming off an Achilles injury and he probably won’t be as good as he was but he couldn’t win win with a loaded Vikings team and Atlanta is nowhere as talented!

[@stephenzajonc4766]

You could tell he was special in college. He is consistent. About 10 touchdowns every year and over 1,000 yards as a receiver every year as a pro. He did it with mostly mediocre quarterback play and little other help from his other receivers throughout his career.

[@T2Golf]

Definitely a lock. I would want to have his career if I played. He doesn't get in trouble, gets paid crazy money, the media isn't in his business, but the commentators talk about you and say how unappreciated you are. You keep privacy while you dominate in the NFL and its on tape. The best of both worlds.

[@peterthomson1753]

I feel like he has the consistency, but not a HOF ceiling. We have never really thought Mike Evans was top 2/3/4/5 WR in the league. He's kinda always been in that 6-12 range, which is hella good but just not HOF worthy IMO

How many years in a row will the Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield be under-rated? It blows my mind that supposed "experts" simply ignore what Baker (a 'play-action" style QB) did last season with ZERO running attack, a very young O-line that was playing musical chairs, and minimal time to have built any chemistry with his targets. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE IMPROVED, and no one recognizes it. AMAZING!

What makes everyone and their mama think that the falcons are going to just outright win the division? Is it because Kirk Cousins? Tom Brady came to the Bucs in 2020, won a Super Bowl but guess what he didn’t win the division ands he’s considered the goat QB. The falcons have a new QB, new HC, new offensive and defensive scheme. It sounds and looks good on paper but it’s all gotta come together. I’m not saying it can’t or won’t. I’m just saying all this to give the Bucs the benefit of the doubt seeing that they brought all their key pieces back, drafted well and have continuity across all boards besides the offense/HC. Not as much to overcome compared to Atlanta 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@michaellaroche3418]

BINGO

[@jordansheffield6101]

They’re bringing their pieces back but they were a 9 win team. Falcons bring in two huge FA on defense (Judon is instantly the best pass rusher in the division) and double down on the most important position in sports. Falcons are probably the only team in division that can survive a qb injury

@@ghostme1635yep just wait til Penix gets this offense with London, Mooney, Pitts, and Atlanta gonna draft receivers. It’s gonna be really scary and hard to beat us with Bijan in the backfield too. Truly a terrifying offense.

[@ADUSN]

@@GodlyZOfficial Defense lost us the super bowl though. Offense is great but if you can't get stops, you can't win the big game. That's what I'm worried about.

As a Bucs fan, this is music to my ears. Brou said it best, baker plays his best with a chip on his shoulder. Well everyone is counting him and the Bucs out just like before, so you know they’re coming in hungry to prove we’ve got a legitimate team. And yes, he was paid, but he’s making less than Daniel effin jones. Not like he’s stacked

[@dylantynes8233]

I just don’t understand why the Bucs constantly get underrated.. like always man even when they had Tom Brady

When this Atlanta team jells, dangerous will be an understatement. This is not a Team you want to see playoff week one.

[@jdubbs0824]

Bucs been the best team in the south the past 5 years. Need to give us some respect. Baker about to cook and defense about to shut everybody up.

[@kevinmckay2483]

Thats cap 🤣🤣🤣 they only won the division 3 years ina row. 4 years ago they got blew out twice by the saints and the saints won the division… it took Bree’s to break 12 ribs for them to beat the saints in the playoffs. So Bucs weee the best team in the division for 3-4 years. They weren’t even the best team in the division last year tbh. Both them and the saints were 9-8 but saints won 4 out of their last 5 while Bucs finished 3-2. Saints were up 20-0 week 17 against the Bucs until they gave up some garbage time td’s Bucs won the division off a tie breaker stipulation not because they were the better team

[@chriscole4538]
