The bucs have played a gauntlet of some of the hardest qbs to sack in the game
The bucs sack numbers should shoot up after the Bye when we aren't playing Patrick Mahomes and lamar jackson every week, the bucs have been getting pressure they just haven't been bringing down the qb, but that's the story when you play mahomes, or jackson, nix has been elite at evading sacks, daniels has been great at avoiding sacks, Goff and cousins throw too quickly to be sacked purdy is also elite at evading sacks
I think a big issue is the bucs haven't invested a high draft pick in outside corner since 2019
Algorithm help… Go Bucs!!!
Skule pretty much kept bosa quiet… he got 1 good play
What about the defense? Baker had a great pass to get them down there?
At least they can't lose next sunday
Love your content I must say I think it is shameful that Jason light did nothing at the trade deadline to improve this team. Sure, Todd deserves some blame but not all of it. I’m not sure any coach in the planet could glue this thing together. Any better with the injuries that have occurred Jalen McMillan must go as I think he may be a pain flute.
We stink period
The Bucs are a draft away from being an upper tier contender. The expectations are unrealistic. They lack speed on offense to stretch the field to open running and passing lanes. The defense needs help at every level. And they lack team speed.
At this point who cares about the playoffs itll be the same scenario as our 8 and 9 year we dont deserve to be there and we need dradt capitol
Mikes getting doubled when he gets back
I said the same thing when we made the playoffs at 8 n 9 we didn't deserve to be there and its the same now
Jts only got that Sack bc nobody absolutely nobody touched him he walked in to the back field untouched that's the only reason he got that sack nobody blocked him and Purdy had his back to him.
Bucky was going off he did so good the team said hey you know what we should do take him out put him at wr and let's do some tricky stuff since just handing bucky the ball is too easy.
Then the bucs proceed to fumble the snap snap the ball to early baker throws to the floor to two wide open receivers cade makes a circle with his arms so the ball goes right thru on the one pass late that baker throws perfect.
Wirfs is almost out for the rest of the season. 4 out of 7 games.
I think the season is over
Ok the coach calling a soft defense and a soft offense because clamoring about ints. Not because they are all Bakers fault. Going through the arms of a receiver and being bumped up to a defender. I don't call Bakers fault
Now Baker nor any player on offense fubled or threw an interception. Baker took what was given and didn't force the ball into harms way. So dawned if you do dawned if you don't. Let's not forget all those face mask penalties called against but not capitalized on. Where was Bucky? IS this Bakers fault our best ground and pound back wasn't in there? Go ahead blame Baker on all you want. Our defense walking them down at the end lost it. Baker did his job and got the lead. More than once during this game again to let the defense give those leads and the game up. No other qbs have games with few yards and win right?
McMillan may not have been put in to let him further heal. That question is for who? Bowles. Isn't that what everything comes down to? Bowles Bowles Bowles.
How many sacks last year how many this year. How many pressures last year How many this year?
So 21 sacks this year vs 12 last year same numbers not the same number of sacks. Seems that part has improved. But far less blitzes called this year than last. Is our team not doing what it should or not doing what we have when successful? Who does that fall on? Bowles. So all our woes lead back to one person Bowles. Coen probably called offense this game a little soft because players available and to limit the possibility of ints. Again I'm not so concerned with ints if we are getting leads but the defense not holding that is another issue. Let's face it we scored 20 points when Brady was on the team we lost by far more than 20 and didn't even muster 14. So was Brady worse than Baker or does our defense not allow us to win?
Don't get me wrong I coached 20+ years boys and girls soccer baseball softball. At all levels of play i had undefeated seasons i had seasons we didn't win a game. Those seasons we played select we played u 16 though we were a u12 team. We did it because the u16 team we had folded. As a soccer commissioner and one of 7 who founded our select soccer club so my team took ita place. Best part is my players improved throughout the season. And at our lever we won the u13 level select and u13 boys and girls club we were undefeated. Yes my team played 3 leagues I was also commissioner of 2 leagues select and boys and girls club. I was also registrar for our select club. Point is my u13 team did a better job against u16 than the bucs are doing even though we lost every game. We got better as the season went on. The bucs are regressing as the season goes on. Hey let's coach with balls. Lets call low % plays offensively and defensively. More reward comes out of it. If we lose well we lose. It won't be because we didn't g I very it our all.
Me: Son if you work hard you can be the guy that straps the astronaut to his seat.
Or
Me: if you work hard you can be an astronaut.
Who would ask you kids to be?
Of course you never settle so why would you have this conversation ridiculous. What's better for the franchise really it's ALWAYS TO WIN PERIOD. !!!
Again skoule didn't do bad this game. But go to a two rb set use Bucky to do any leak blocking on skoules side. There are things we can do. One rb set with a team in back as the second rb to block skoules side. Many options you can do to compensate. Be creative do do business as usual if it shows to fail. Utilize your players to their strengths. This is another coaching failure in my eyes. Like in soccer you have many sets a 1343 a 1442 a 1 262 a 122612251 be creative give looks no one has ever seen you use keep it in formations that are legal but change things up to the teams advantage. Most coaches do this ours keeps going to the well. Who knows if you use a 2 back set always the defense may figure run more than pass and will open receivers up.
I think the issue with going pony package there is 2 minute office doesn’t usually have a set like that so timing is an issue…
Bucs have played the #1, 2,4,7,7, and 11th offenses so far…
Yall lost me on missing the playoffs… getting a certain draft pick isn’t going to help as much as being competitive and free agents wanting to come here. Kancey was pick 19. Looks like one of the best in that draft. Tj watt looks like THE best. I don’t see any benefit to picking higher. Winston and That damn corner from Florida are proof that it doesn’t matter. Go compete and try to win period.
I like Tod but I feel like he's never going to be better than a .500 HC.
JMac has suffered from the Wussies
he scared
we sign Godwin to a 4 year contract and we will save money because next year may be a get back in shape year 18 mil a year sounds cheap and fair
McMissing!!! 😂
I dunno you say the defense held them to 23 points well technically but only because they missed 3 fgs'. add those in and you're looking at another 31+ points game that they could not stop a last drive. what's that like? 3? 4? games they have lost with the defense on the field giving up points on the last drive for the loss. They still bled yards but I will give the defense credit for mostly keeping them out of the endzone. That was a key to possibly win the game. Baker was not "on" but at least he did not turn it over. You do have to credit the niners defense and lack of tools Baker had. The WR's they have, have to get more involved. McMillan has been just a guy on the bench lol. Mcmillan had a huge opportunity to make a name for himself and help us out. Blown.
it's not over but the Buc's are 1 game out last place in NFC South lol that's the facts.
The Playoffs are over, the Season is over !
F__cking injuries !! 😫😖
And we need a much better coach and couches why can't the 3-5 WRs get better ? ! 🤔
Todd wants the defense to win the games, they can’t stop anyone, so they lose
Defense is at fault again.
I know one thing with Wirfs out I would love to see them try Barton out at LT and start Hainsey at center to be at least creative and making up injury efficiently. Gotta play Tucker more and have White as our receiving threat. Aint nothing can be done about the defense.
Ur tripping
Yes, I am so confident they gonna make the playoff and half the division
The defense gave up 30+ points again without the missed field goals. Bowles is gone after this season thank the gods.
