Ponder has been pretty bad, but I keep noticing this...our pass protection is dropping off more and more every week too.

Couldn't pick up the blitz on that 3rd down play.

Kluwe's been pretty disappointing this year IMO.

As expected, this looks like an ugly game.

Every Thursday game so far has been a #### show. This one will be no different.

To be fair, the Bucs had the numbers on that third down.

Because opposing teams realize they can bring pressure every snap, knowing they have NOTHING to fear from this quarterback.

You don't generally pull the starting QB on a 5-2 team, but if this stays ugly through the 1st half, Frazier has to consider it. We need to win this game with the tough schedule we have after the Bye week.

Yeah, it's time to call back-to-back runs and get something established.

Ponder 0-4 zero yards. Kick ####.
