Forums - Sports Discussion - The NFL Thread 2020: Tampa Bay Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV

Damn that was a pretty damn rough week. The risks predictions I took all backfired. I strongly underestimated JAX and WAS. Note to self. Never underestimate a team that has nothing to gain or lose unless they are the Jets, Bengals, and Browns.

EDIT

For now, put down the Bengals win over the Browns on Thursday night. I will predict the rest Saturday-ish

I considered switching my choice to the Browns for TNF, but a few developments made me stick to it. After watching film analysis; Baker Mayfield is a broken QB. All of his coaches the last 3 years are trying to force him to be a deep ball, gunslinger, when he is in-fact a short pass, play action whizz. He's not confident anymore, he stares down his first option, and panics if he looks to a second or third. I think the damage done to him is permanent. He will never be a great QB. Right now Joe Burrow is not only better than Mayfield, but he has this amazing ability to completely erase passed plays from his head, and have a clear mind when the next snap comes.

Second, The Browns kicked their kicker off the team after the Ravens game... guess who picked that kicker up! The Bengals. He is going to have revenge against the Browns.

The only prayer the Browns have is if they establish a run game -tight end attack early. Run that ball down the Bengals throat. Baker also needs to get OBJ out of his head and just ignore him as a third option. I wish they would trade OBJ already, I'm not saying he's the only problem, but Baker will play better without him. Addition by subtraction as they say. But the Browns are too dysfunctional to do all that at once.

Too many road wins by the coin this week, probably gonna do poorly. Though I guess home field is less effective now. I disagree with six of these but we will see.
