00:00No, I'm right there with you on that one and I'm just going to mentally put it this way.

00:07I convinced myself that if it wasn't for the Bucky Irving turnover, that once they got

00:11into the red zone, that was going to be Chris Godwin's touchdown.

00:14I just, I felt that in my soul.

00:16So technically it was in, it was there, it was meant to happen, Tom, and just, it was

00:20stripped away from us by the drop.

00:22But I don't want to give Irving any crap.

00:24He really felt that one when he got to the sideline.

00:26As for Mike Evans versus the Saints, well, maybe look at the yardage props there because

00:29he tends to take off no matter what the matchups are when it comes to that rivalry versus the

00:34Saints.

00:35But I'm right there with you.

00:36Also, to point this out, and then Adam Coffin mentioned it in the pregame show on Pro Football

00:40today.

00:41K-Dawn hitting 44 receiving yards through three receptions.

00:43He has been getting more involved.

00:45They are trusting him more.

00:46He's not dropping those passes.

00:47That was just kind of the wonky relationship that was taking place.

00:50But it's time for the confidence to kick in and it is finally showing.

00:53They were down to a lot of third string guys in defense.

00:55So hopefully the injury report next week comes out a little bit more favorable so that the

00:59Bucs can continue to compete.

01:00But overall, I mean, you couldn't ask for a better football game on a Thursday night,

01:04at least with the typical Thursday night football script has tended to be.

01:08Any final thoughts on this matchup, Tom?

01:10No.

01:11You know, the defense, you know, as much as we like to say a short week can impact things,

01:17you know, defense being down to third stringers, the offenses are fully healthy.

01:22Maybe that's something you just got to like key in on a little bit more.

01:25Oh, hey, the offenses are fully healthy.

01:27The defenses are not.

01:28We should be expecting more points than usual.

01:30So just something to kind of keep an eye on.

01:33Like if the offenses are ready to go, they can pick apart third string defenses, which

01:37is what we saw tonight.

01:39So just another mental note.

01:41Yeah, definitely something to keep.
