Preseason Injury news got tired of the offseason and wanted to start early lol.
He was having too much fun with Savannah Bananas
David Bakhtiari-esque timing.
Yeah, red flag/alarms going off from my Bakh trauma telling me to be doubtful Wirfs plays much this year.
That injury he suffered in 2021 was really brutal for the teams repeat chances.
The Rams were all over Brady all game.
Godwin was out, AB was gone, Gronk was running on fumes.
All Brady had left was Evans.
Healthy; that 2021 Bucs passing attack was historic. They just weren’t healthy for many games.
Evans was hurt as well
Brutal game.
Lots of reasons to hate AB, but I really think we repeat if we had one functioning wide receiver who wasn’t a scrub
Evans is always playing hurt, though.
He still dusted Ramsey for the monster TD bomb that got the Bucs back in the game.
The 2020-21 Bucs full power offense was
With a great o-line. My personal opinion is that on paper this is the greatest 6-player offensive skill position group of all time, with the main competition I can think of being the 07 Pats, 04 Colts, and 11 Pats
Greatest show on turf rams have to be up there with Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Holt and Pace
A lot of guys past their best.
Probably a reason why they were all healthy for like 3 games
Closest thing to an NBA style superteam I can remember in the NFL
Yeah I guess it balances out because a bye for the 2-seed Saints in 2020 probably goes a long way against us, but man it really sucks to lose Wirfs in a game that would not have been played a couple years prior when we were the 2 seed in 2021.

Bucs were supposed to tank after Brady retired. Bucs not only refused to tank but won two division titles immediately after. So Roger goodell shot Tristan Wirfs in the leg. It’s true
Cool so my day is ruined. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet…..
Such fun things to find out at noon in the middle of the week.
That's very very bad news for the bucs
They play the Texans week 2. Playing the Texans pass rush with Wirfs is scary. Also the falcons pass rush might be good next year and that's week 1
Betting on the Falcons pass rush is like betting against Brady
I’m a degenerate who survives on hopium… as my flair would suggest. And I would never bet on the falcons pass rush
A true fan
Media: look out for this [player/position group]!
Weathered fan: I can assure you that you don’t need to look out for them
That is true, the rookies would also have to be good week 1 which is unlikely.
We were 2nd in the league in sacks after our bye week. And we just spent 2 firsts on pass rushers. So…maybe there’s hope.
Thankfully compared to last year our back-up got first team reps all off-season and our offense can prepare for it. Shouldn't be another Lions/Broncos situation.
Still a massive blow of course, but I do believe we can compensate to get a working offense out there.
They also play the jets week 3 and the eagles week 4. Thats 3 good DLs you dont wanna face without your Franchise tackle
I wish Wirfs nothing but health, but if he is out for that game it is a big deal as @Tampa is one of the games I think the Eagles are most likely to lose this upcoming season and that would swing things closer to the Eagles' favor.
the Bucs could be on all 3rd Stringers, the Eagles could have an undefeated tier squad, they're still the favorite against Philly. It's just tradition...
They've had our number ever since they closed down the Vet on us. 😭
The main issue to me? both the texans and eagles secondaries are plenty good enough to cover til their DLs get home. Baker may be running for his life
Yea but fuck that humidity, it always gets us. I hate playing in FL in September.
Yeah, I remember it was like 100 degrees for y'alls game last year
Big boys were sweating to death before the first series was over and we didn’t have AJB, Smitty or Lane.
Ah, i can see that. Haha florida is basically the same humidity as houston so its no different for us.
The Falcons pass rush will continue to be ass
At least one of the rookies has to be good. Right? Right?
Baker Mayfield’s internal clock is now permanently set to “panic.”
He has changed his pre-snap cadence to, "Green 22....sonofabitch! Omaha! Shitfuck!" ball is snapped
Completely out of left field for Bucs fans :( This fuckin sucks
To the medical team: #Holyfcknairball
Training camp hasn’t even started yet, this is cruel
Damn, he is the best player on that team. Big loss
Well that's wirf-case scenario
Bless them knees people
God dammit Dan Campbell bit his knee off
Shit, that's devastating. He's one of the best tackles in the league. Godspeed, Baker, may you survive until he returns.
Do I prefer to face the Bucs without him? Yes. But I still scared!
CJ a PT journalist now? /s
You know how players start their TV/radio/podcast career while still actively playing now? What if players started investigative reporting while playing. CJ Stroud randomly dropping Woj bombs.
That feels out of nowhere. Wishing him the best.
Ahh that sucks….
there is no off-season for "bless the knees" prayer. Good he's only missing a short time.
He hurt himself doing that stupid stunt with Bert Kreischer, didn't he...
This is the worst as a Bucs fan, I've gotta imagine we at best split between the Eagles and Texans. I had use going 12-5 or 11-6 before, I'm somewhat imagining around 10-7 and 11-6 now. Falcons, Texans, Jets, and Eagles are a fairly bad stretch of games without Wirfs. I hope Charlie Heck has been grinding his craft for us(or that we just get another Tackle).
Don't worry, he'll be 100% fine by week 4 for the Eagles game
Someone else said PUP is 4 games, but I don't know how that works when it starts preseason.
Preseason PUP is different IIRC, it basically just means the dude is hurt and can't participate in training camp until he gets cleared.
First 4 regular season games im afraid my friend.
They can be on active pup list before the preseason games and do everything but practice but they count against the 90 man preseason roster limit. If they get moved to reserve/pup during the preseason they won’t count against the roster spot, typically during cuts, and must miss the first four games
He fucking better be, I can't wait to watch that.
man, guy can't seem to stay healthy. bummer.
Why’s Cj stroud breaking news?
So it's illegal to have hobbies now?! /s
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, what the fuck?
Sadly not entirely unexpected to Bucs fans. He arrived with a gigantic brace to training camp.
bucs fan here. this was entirely unexpected.
bowles said he would be good to go by training camp.
This is the NFL. Everything is top secret. They would never opening say he's not playing unless a surgery happens
