How the hell do the Bucs leave Kupp, the triple crown receiver, with single coverage by a safety on that last play? How? That DC should be fired on the spot.

How is Kupp allowed to make 2 plays of that magnitude?

Well done by Staffard Kupp and the Rams though.

Kupp juked one defender off his feet and left him in the dirt
NFL is a handful of stars on each team and then its a lot of mediocre players who move from team to team.
I guess the cap does that. Most OL are barely able to block anymore

Good play design by McVay to get the matchup he wanted against the blitz look. Not sure why TB blitzed there given the situation though.

Wow! I know Kupp won’t win it and Al Michaels kept saying he should be in the top 5 of MVP voting, but he should be a legit candidate to win the award. And finally, @WhiteBus - Are you not entertained?! 😂

That's a cool little x's & o's. Got it up quick too.

What is 54 doing there? Given that situation, if he's going to be a floater I'd rather have him down field.

0 stars on both rating services. Only offer was Eastern Washington, where he played. Never heard of the guy before this game, but don't really follow the NFL except the playoffs.
He was a rare unanimous All-Pro (harder to make than Pro Bowl) this year. He led all WRs in receptions and yards and TDs

Shocked that Brady willed the Bucs back into this game. Crazy. Now we need Mahomes to lose and all elite QBs are gone! That would be a refreshing change for once.
You will not get your wish. If the game goes the way you want it to, there will be an elite QB left - Josh Allen.

This was the worst defensive job I have ever seen at the end of a game.

Both Bucs and Rams made terrible mistakes.
How could Rams allow a long TD pass and then a running TD on a 4th down? All of this while Tampa had no timeouts left.
How could Tampa allow a FG when Rams got the ball with only 42 seconds left?

Both questions are easily answerable:

1) Rams were selling out to stop the expected QB sneak. When Fournette broke it outside, he had a one-on-one with the LB and he won it. Once he did, he could walk in.

2) Bucs got caught in a blitz. If you want to question why they were blitzing, that is fair. They had just given up a 20 yard chunk and could not afford to concede another. I guess they thought they could force a quick dumpoff. They were wrong.

Welp Allen and Burrows are probably in the discussion at this point. Moreso Allen but Burrows has his foot in the door.

Add Stafford, now that he's away from the Lions.he might show it was Detroit that held him back from being considered an elite QB .
