The Bucks lost big when Mike Evans caught a 25-yard touchdown, his 100th touchdown, I believe, in the NFL.

Uh, he joins an elite class of players.

Unfortunately, he also aggravated the hamstring injury he was struggling with.

Um, he was struggling to get there this week.

He definitely again, I looked like he was so upset afterwards.

So brutal that they lose him and then the big loss here, everyone is reporting that it's possibly a sprained ankle that would probably end Chris Godwin's season.

It was a tough year at wide, there were some of the best wide receiver picks you could make this year, and stuff like fantasy, who cares?

But it's been a tough year for some of these great wide receiver picks, but the Godman thing in particular does.

Absolutely.

I mean, this just cracks me up, man.

This guy is a great player, a great person.

Uh and yeah, again one of my favorite receivers in the league for a long time.

I mean, the Bucks will have to rely on Mike Emmons being out here for several weeks.

Sterling Shepard, Jalen Mcmillan has eight targets in this one.

Shepherd scored a two-point conversion.

I mean, I love Sterling Shepard, but Sterling Shepard can't be our best wide receiver and he could be the best wide receiver on the Bucks and he has a long injury history.

So, um, it'll be interesting to watch a guy like Jalen Mcmillan, you know, Trey Palmer is another player that gave him some snaps last year.

But man, I mean, this Bucks offense goes from Baker Mayfield possibly leading the NFL in touchdown passes by the end of the year and throwing for 40-plus over the course of the season to being a pretty troubling unit.

Um, the best thing the Bucks did not only on offense, but the best thing the Bucks did was Baker Mayfield confidently ran a well-designed offense and got the ball to two great wide receivers.

Early in the game you could feel the air going out of Mike Evans' passing offense, and then you really felt like the life of the entire unit was draining away when Chris Godwin, er, left again with his devastating knee injury, totally torn up about it .
