Godwin's Out: Tampa Bay Facing a Big Loss
Oh man, this is a tough one for the Bucs. Mike Evans isn't the only weapon Tom Brady needs, and with Chris Godwin out for the season, Tampa Bay is staring down a big, scary hole.
Godwin's knee injury, a torn ACL, came in Week 1 against the Cowboys, and it's a huge blow to a team hoping to make another run at the Super Bowl.
What This Means for Tampa Bay
The Bucs' offense already has a ton of pressure on them. With Godwin out, that pressure gets even bigger. They're going to need to find new ways to get the ball to their other receivers.
This is where the pressure on the Bucs' coaching staff really ramps up. Can they find a way to create opportunities for the remaining receivers, or is the offense going to stall?
The Big Question: Can Tampa Bay Stay Afloat?
We all know how much Tom Brady loves a challenge, right? This is definitely one of those times where he'll have to pull out all the stops. It's going to be tough to get through the season without Godwin.
But don't count these Bucs out just yet. They've got a ton of talent, and they're used to playing under pressure. It'll be interesting to see how they respond, and it'll be even more interesting to see how they adjust their game plan.
One thing's for sure: the Bucs' offense is going to need to be creative. They'll need to get the ball in the hands of their other playmakers, and they'll need to find a way to keep defenses on their toes.
This is a tough break for the Bucs, but they've got the heart of a champion. We'll see if they can overcome this obstacle and find a way to make a playoff run.
