I don't care who it upsets, Bridgewater has GREAT games and AWFUL games, he is very sporadic. Sometimes it is the QB's fault. Sometimes it's the lines fault, sometimes the receivers aren't doing squat but that pick was a very bad throw and on no one other than Teddy. Lets hope he can redeem himself.

He was 100% open. And Teddy threw it right over his head and out of bounds. Another terrible throw

Yes I would be.....like I said, no QB is 100% interception proof. I stand by my statement. lol

Close games build character. It's a young team and really the play reflects a tied game. Let's see what they can do in the 2nd half. Red zone efficiency will be key.

Agreed. Jarius Wright was just about to break open on that play. TB chose the underneath guy like he always does. That cost the team. The kid has barely been in the league and he is already starting to become predictable.

We out played them stat wise. Just need to put points up if you want to win. You can't settle for field goals when you should be scoring TD's

Teddy Ponder

its a double meaning.....he ponders the situation too long, and he sucks as bad as Ponder

You DONT understand. EVERY play is the definitive representation of the sort of player Bridgewater will be. A forced pass to his best receiver is not an example of a Young QB going to his comfort zone. It is utter proof of a lifetime of sub par play that awaits him.

Aren't there usually games on CBS at this time? Didn't see any at noon last week either.

It's a tie game early in the 3rd quarter... it's not time to panic.

Glad Zim laid into them. Offense looks lazy. It's embarrassing.
