[@DavidArbuckle-sc8zc]

Baker runs likes a LBer. He has no fear. It takes guts too, because he knows he is vulnerable. So happy for him and the whole team. A great team victory.

[@onthebrink1111]

That is why he has fumbled 11 times on his scrambles this year. He needs to keep the ferocity w/o losing the ball.

[@johnnymcduffie2214]

[@onthebrink1111]

@@johnnymcduffie2214 Turnover worthy plays are bad even if they are not turnovers. Sports fans might be the least logical people on the planet especially ones that simp for a single player. He lost the Cowboys game by scrambling. Josh Allen has scrambled almost 70 more times this season and has fumbled one time. Scrambling is a good thing. Fumbling is a bad thing. Baker has had a fantastic season. He has fumbled too much and has thrown 16 picks. Those are bad stats. Multiple things can be true at the same time.

As a life long Texas fan I couldn't help but hate Baker in college... but after how he was treated in Cleveland, and how he has rebounded and turned his career and life around has made me a fan of his. I don't expect much in the postseason from my Packers, I just think we're too young and make too many mistakes. If Bucs are still in it after us I'll be rooting just for his sake, dude deserves a shot at a ring at least.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

You never know. The Packers have played well this year and like everyone else, have injuries to overcome. Philadelphia is beatable if no mistakes are made and you hold on to the ball with sustained drives. I have hopes for both the Bucs and the Packers as they both have a chance to do something.

[@socialx-fe9mn]

I don't think his heart is in this job tbh with you. He's not going to be doing this anywhere close to that 10 year contract that he signed with Fox. He's going to go in another direction and one of them is being heavily involved with the las Vegas raiders organization

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

The two players who have managed to make this team competitive for five years straight with great play at quarterback, and good support from the surrounding team. It is the most successful stretch in franchise history since the Bucs started in 1976 losing every game of the season. It is a long way from the terrible beginnings and terrible Huge Culverhouse ownership to the much more successful franchise it is today. Those of us who have watched this team go now from where it came from is a beautiful thing.

[@closetofcardboard6032]

Im just a normal dude whos good at video games haha but back in 2019-2021 I would play Xbox with Baker a few times a week. Was such a surreal time of my life when this dude would invite me to games or join my party chat wanting to play/win. I never really talked to him about football because I felt xbox was his getaway and respected that. But the point of this is just to say this dude is a dog and a leader at everything he does. I was always a Seahawk fan but after that im a fan of Baker and whatever team he plays for. Such a humble hungry dude in all aspects of life. Clearly this was one of the highlights of my life hahaha cause here I am telling everyone.

W/o the defense shutting the Saints down in the second half they would have lost the game as well.

[@heyAQTx]

@ yes that is how football works, but nobody on the defense played lights out when you compare it to baker extending drives with his legs the entire game.

[@onthebrink1111]

@@heyAQTx The defense has not given up a single TD in the second half of a game since Dec 1. W/o the defense Baker has no chance to win this game. Baker did not play lights out. He played well enough to win. Weird that you don't give the same concession to a defense with backups on every level. Baker fans are the worst version of Brady fans. Never won anything ever all while blaming every other person for a loss. 16 picks and 14 fumbles on the season. Jamies Winston like. Baker has been great but you scummers blame everyone else when he makes bad plays.

[@ggomez4573]

Brady helped cement the winning culture that was being created. I feel like the front office understands what it takes to WIN. Like patriots, packers, 49ers, steelers. We in it for the long run because players WILL WANT to come to tampa just like MR. Brady wanted to go there becasue they know we got a chance to compete.

[@DJBain-b4z]

Agree 🎯 Jason has been the best GM in the NFL since he talked Bruce out of retirement. Then, all the dominos fell perfectly, and here we are. Imagine if Godwin wasn't lost for the year ! This team would have at least 3 more wins, at LEAST

Tom had a unique chance to congratulate Mike Evans with special speech and the LFG award … in my point of view as a ex Mike teammate he waste big time this opportunity which separate him of any other commentator

[@DJBain-b4z]

He's not really allowed to have favorites. He has to stay neutral when he's calling a game. I'm sure he talked to Mike personally
