N/S Bucs lose WR Chris Godwin for the season (1 Viewer)

This and the Evans injury makes the south much more wide open

Like Galloway, Godwin is a Saints killer. Respect him tremendously, and feel bad for him. It being a huge loss for the dirty playing Bucs, no sympathy.

Not saying it will happen, but looking at the Falcons and Bucs schedules, I see a few more losses before Nov. 10th.

I wish I could find the article where Mike Detillier said that when a team loses their C in game they lose 70% of the time and yet we still had the lead with 2 min to go then 3 DB's run into each other , We didn't go full simple in the ATL game , it was a border line DPI call or we win

The Atlanta game should’ve never come down to a last drive. We spotted them easy points

Yeah, that game bothers me more than all the others put together.

If I made a list of all the things I hated about that game, it would break the internet.

Yep. I have seen that stat too but can’t for the life of me find it anywhere. Losing a center is DEVASTATING statistically.

I’ve said it many times it’s the third most important position on the field, and that’s especially the case when you have a great one both physically and mentally.

So underrated and under-appreciated. They are responsible for so much that goes on, and the drop off from a great starter type to a backup is monumental; the whole operation gets compromised and your entire line breaks down.

The very second McCoy left the Philly game, it was like we couldn’t play offense anymore.

Threads like this are why I visit this site so often even as an opposing team fan. Totally get the competitive "no sympathy" comments. It's big time football, none to be had.

But the class and respect for a good man going down shows what Who Dat Nation is about. Chris is one of one in terms of understated leadership and performance on the Bucs, and an excellent dude all around. While Mike is our star, Chris is our heart.

Much appreciated

Well, Philly has a brand new center, who at that point, still not progressed where he needed to be. They were having issues with him leading up to our game. Thats why their tush push wasn’t effective in TC or the opportunities that they had in games. Not the same as losing a guy in game, but nevertheless, that wasn’t Jason Kelce under center.

Yeah man. I love those types of players who just puts their heads down and work. Dude leaves it all out there on the field and he is the kind of guy, who you want to be by your side, in battle. Just an absolute fun guy to watch on the field, even if he’s killing our team. Can’t hate on the man for that. He’s just doing his job, no shenanigans, no taunting, just balling. Love that in a player. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate showboating players, but they are nothing like the ones who let their actions do the talking.

Their new center Cam Jurgens is a second round pick (like McCoy) in his third season, and they had this entire offseason to prepare him as the bonafide, sure-fire starter at center, after he was a starting guard for them a year ago…this is a wildly false equivalence.

Not an equivalence. Just saying that he is still essentially brand new to being a center. He has had issues, it was reported. So, everything that they had, as a safety cushion, with Kelce, is vastly different with him. Doesn’t matter how long he has been in their system, or how long he had to prepare, players can still struggle with a new position.
