A little too much is being made of the Bucs’ 34-23 loss to the Saints. Yes, Tom Brady had two picks and one was returned for a touchdown. Also, yes, Jameis Winston did that all the time and that’s why he’s now a backup in New Orleans.
But the Tampa defense was actually pretty annoying for Drew Brees and Brady – despite the now-constant age reminders – didn’t show any lack of arm strength.
Make quick judgments on the Bucs at your own peril. They have the Panthers this week. If they aren’t 1-1 after that one, then we can talk. (5)
