Takeaways from the first drive: Heinicke might be alright! Needs help around him, but he will give the receivers opportunities that no other QB on the roster would have this season.

Washington went 3&out on the offense's first drive but Taylor Heinicke's first throw was a deep shot to Cam Sims. Hit him in the hands. Tough catch but one Sims has to make.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) January 10, 2021
Heinicke going deep on his first drop back of the game says a lot about the guy. #WashingtonFootball
Cam Sims has to catch this. Had a little stutter as he turned to track the ball, then tried to make up ground late. But the 2nd replay angle shows he has to catch it. Nice start from Heinicke and Turner for getting a shot schemed open early pic.twitter.com/UjVxPZ8DSw
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) January 10, 2021
Washington had two things happen on its first series that can't continue: It lost four yards on a first down run, thanks to poor blocking, and Cam Sims dropped a deep ball that would have given them possession inside the 50-yard line. In a game where... https://t.co/HTXUq7OxDO
— John Keim (@john_keim) January 10, 2021
There's been a lot of focus of how Washington is going to create pressure on Brady, and we just saw it on third and long. Looks like they sent five and disguised Bostic, but Holcomb blitzed instead. Brady got it out but incomplete.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) January 10, 2021
Excellent work by Kendall Fuller here. Has struggled on routes of that type of depth recently, but played this perfectly and broke up the pass to get off the field. pic.twitter.com/pNXDL5Cn7b

Taylor Heinicke's pass was batted at the line and intercepted off the deflection. Bad luck more than a bad play but still an advers situation for the young QB to respond to.

He's 2/5 for 41 yards with a deep-ball drop that could have gone for a big gainer. #WashingtonFootball

Taylor Heinicke was one of Washington's best players in the first quarter. That was ultra-impressive. The INT was bad luck on a batted ball. Hurt by a drop on a well thrown deep-shot.

Taylor Heinicke has only played two full quarters for Washington this season, but it's clear that he has a comfort level for this offense. He's not afraid to attack down the field and his legs have helped him make plays. Washington entered the game... https://t.co/Z0JhuZvVla

— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) January 10, 2021
Never a fan of that.
The onside kick backfires as the Bucs easily move down the field, and Tom Brady drops a dime into Chris Godwin's bucket for the touchdown.
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) January 10, 2021
TB going for 2
The Bucs turn that short field into a second Tom Brady TD pass. Chris Godwin with the goods from 27.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 10, 2021
They go for 2. Fournette stopped short.
Bucs 15-7.
Not a great time for Darby to have his worst game in Washington...
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) January 10, 2021
That's big. Washington stops Fournette on the two-point conversion to keep it a one-score game. Tampa 15, Washington 7
— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) January 10, 2021
Kam Curl came up with the stop on 2 point conv. attempt.
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) January 10, 2021
Ron Darby beat by Godwin and bad. https://t.co/gBNAKwodwt
The onside kick attempt suggests you don't believe your defense can get enough stops to keep you in the game. And the Washington pass rush simply has not been good enough so far. Tom Brady has been very comfortable in the pocket to this point.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) January 10, 2021
Heinicke sure likes Cam Sims.
— Washington Wire (@Washington_Wire) January 10, 2021
Steven Sims involved in the run game. You love to see it.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) January 10, 2021
Great run but you see how slow Antonio Gibson is running. That toe and/or knee is bothering him.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) January 10, 2021
I understand Isaiah Wright and Cam Sims aren't Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne, but damn, Taylor is hitting them in STRIDE tonight and they just aren't helping
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) January 10, 2021
Taylor Heinicke is doing his job distributing the ball, needs his receivers to help him out in a game like this
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) January 10, 2021
I blame Amari Cooper for these drops.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) January 10, 2021
It's clear: Heinicke is not the issue tonight. Quite the contrary.

Taylor Heinicke didn't catch any breaks on that drive.
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) January 10, 2021
The ball to Isaiah Wright was catchable.
Then they missed a call on DPI on Davis on third down.
This is DPI lmao, you can’t tackle a player who hasn’t touched the football. That’s the definition of “pass interference.”pic.twitter.com/w3zNyuAaES
— Matt Valdovinos (@MVScouting) January 10, 2021
Maybe the NFL should try making pass interference reviewable by instant replay. Has anyone ever thought of trying that?
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) January 10, 2021
They let Brady get in a zone. And they can't get him out of the zone if they don't get quick pressure.
— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) January 10, 2021
Even when they get close, WFT's rush still isn't affecting Brady. He's cool, calm and collected in the pocket.

In JDR's 10 games vs. Brady entering tonight: his D's allowed 25 TD, picked off one pass. went 1-9.

If Chase Young is gonna talk shit to Brady he better back it up. He ain’t so far

Chase Young’s mom needs to get ahold of him stat.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) January 10, 2021
Great defense sequence for Washington. Ronald Darby with the PBU working against Godwin on second down and Jon Bostic making the smart play to just push Gronkowski out of bounds to make the pass incomplete.
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) January 10, 2021
Bend don't break in the redzone. Field goal is good. WFT down, 18-7
Great stop from the D again. Needed that.
— Washington Wire (@Washington_Wire) January 10, 2021
Washington has now forced the Bucs to kick field goals from 23 and 29 yards. Those are wins for this defense. Bucs at up, 18-7, with 1:50 left in the first half. Washington has three timeouts, which means it has plenty of time to get points before the half.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) January 10, 2021
Sims drop. No the other one.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) January 10, 2021
Sims' biggest issue: Constantly taking eyes off the ball. Not the hands; it's the eyes.
— John Keim (@john_keim) January 10, 2021
And the bad drops continue by Washington's receivers. Heinicke delivers another good ball, and Steven Sims didn't make sure he had it in before looking upfield.
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) January 10, 2021
If the neighbors call the cops because of how loud i just cursed out Steve Sims, I wont be surprised....
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) January 10, 2021
What gloves are our players wearing, and can we find a new supplier at half time?
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) January 10, 2021
A couple play-killing drives to start that series. Heinicke sacked. Then Steven Sims dropped a pass to set up a 3rd and 16. (He's a maddening guy, btw).
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) January 10, 2021
Just a disaster of a series. 3 plays, 6 yards, 0:28 time elapsed.
Funny how it becomes so glaring with good quarterbacking.
— Ron Burgundy & Gold (@RBG_DMC73) January 10, 2021

Montez Sweat gets #WashingtonFootball's first sack of the half with 42 seconds to go in the 2nd quarter. Allen's interior pressure forced Brady to re-set in the pocket and allowed Sweat to chase him down from behind.

Steven Sims on punt coverage is a debacle in waiting. Rather than fair catching the ball he let it roll to knock time off the clock and make the drive longer for the offense.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) January 10, 2021
It's not even his fault anymore. He should not be back there.
Tom Brady was steamed at his own players after he was sacked for the 1st time today.
