    Look at the bright side Kes. You don't have to freeze to death at Metropolitan anymore.

    The purple colors are awesome still and OH MY, the "viking" clothes choices fans have is endless.

    Me, I still like the "horn" blow after every TD.

    Still waiting on the Superbowl ring though!

    Count me as someone surprised by what Todd has done

    He is the epitome of a guy growing into a position. Bucs are legit.

    So far, so good… this year. But the year is young. I hope he keeps it up.

    It is early, but the Bucs do look good. I'm starting to rethink the whole Baker Mayfield thing... Tampa just might work out for him.

    He's an elite Defensive and secondary guy. Working under Arians really gave him a great second chance at head coach. I was skeptical at first but now I'm beginning to believe too.

    He's made great personnel decisions at OC which has allowed Baker to thrive ( but hey he also has Evans and Godwin who lived up to his name yesterday). What the Bucs are doing on defense is impressive considering the injuries. I really hope VV is ok.

    Mayfield is playing pretty well but that means Trask's days as a starter are rapidly declining. Wished he would get a chance somewhere else.

    That's too bad. You miss some great times with Tom Brady. When the bucks decided to cheap out on head coaches after the first super bowl and fired gruden, I kind of checked out. Same thing with Winston. But each time I've come back.

    This is a really interesting time because the NFC South has been so bad and the box have not been very good yet have won it each year. This year will certainly be more interesting with the saints seeming resurgence.

    They're actually fun to watch. It really takes the edge off to have another team to root for aside from the Gators lol.

    Any owner that would draft Winston isn’t getting my time.

    At some point, Mayfield gonna Mayfield. Credit to him, he recognizes that Evans is gold and relies on him. If he can sustain his play over the entire year, he'll convince me he's turned the corner.

    With his role, he’ll be set for life and still be able to walk when he’s 60.
