I would really love to see a game in which we are competitive

Update: ATL RB Michael Turner
is ACTIVE for today’s game.
Cannons... fire them.

Im curious to see our linemen running in the new/old system,

(Trying to keep my evil hand from reaching out and putting Bernard Scott
in my fantasy lineup over Steven Jackson…. not…. gonna…. do it!)

I've got them both on my team.
Tough Sunday morning waiting to hear if Benson or Scott would get the majority of carries and waiting on S-Jax to see if he was going.

MBIII barely got me double digits as a RB2.
A meh day… I have a feeling BScott will give better production against the Browns and burn me on that choice. That being said… I couldn’t afford to wait til Sunday to see if Benson was sitting, so I had to roll with MBIII.
Gotta go with SJax today as RB1.

I'm worried
…if Matt Ryan can hit the soft spot between Talib and Piscitelli, the Piscitelli will need to make the tackle.
He has some poor technique and usually misses on the ‘one-on-ones’
They're pounding Turner, but good gap responsibility
these past 2 plays.

Was that a blitz?

AS long as Hovan and Sims arnt in there, im happy.
I want to see the new guys on this line, and Ryan is hurt

1 TFL today for Sims

Not that this defense compares to our hey day
and it does help we are playing against Redman, a hobbled Turner and a patchwork OL, but why on Earth did anyone think it was a good idea to take our personnel and go to a different D?
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
I'm serious
I would really like to know the thought process. It makes no sense
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
True...But I'll take any sign of life I can get..
Plus lets not forget that the reason Redman is in and the OL is patchwork is because of the bucs today…Also Turner was hobbled coming into today, but the T-Jack Ruud combo helped quantify that.

I think (hope) they were making due
until Bates could get his guys in there…but then the FO realized his particular shade of 2-gap scheme is crap and decided to roll with what they know. I’m not the biggest Bates guy, but the guy wasn’t given a full chance, fair or not fair. That said, am I secretly glad we’re going back to the Tampa 2? Yes.

ITs never been in front of a live rush, but I can honestly say I can punt farther than him and kick better than Nugent.
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
I can honestly say he punts like me.
Short without any kind of skill.
Hey the earlier question....
I readon PR that Morris was planning (hoping, was told) bates would create a hyrid Bates/Tampa 2 system, but instead, it turned out to be more of a Bates type system….
Whos fault? no one knows at this point.
Viva la Bucco Bruce 1976-1996 (reincarnated 2009)
If Bates didnt do what he was supposed to, than he should be fired
but Morris also shouldve stepped up and said, hey, do what I said to do
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
Yep, I concur wholeheartedly.
That’s what I was saying in a different thread. IF Bates didn’t do what he was supposed to do, and if he was approached about changing it, but was insubordinate or otherwise refused to make the changes, then he should’ve gotten what happened to him.
Cannons... fire them.

But OBVIOUSLY it was a mistake.

So it has nothing to do with us being behind as to why we pass so much

Whether we lose this or not
That was the best punt fielding ever
Stovall didnt quite tip it far enough, but he gave good effort
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
BW, does it matter if Cox touched the goal line ??
Viva la Bucco Bruce 1976-1996 (reincarnated 2009)
It does if he touches the goal line and then the ball UNLESS he re-establishes himself in the field of play
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
Yes, it does.
Even if ball isn’t over line, if you touch it while on line, it’s a TB. Stupid rule.
Cannons... fire them.
www.BucEm.com - SBNation's home for discussion of all things regarding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I don't think it does.
Only if he was touching the ball as his foot was on the line, it would be a touchback (i think)
Impossible to tell if ball crossed goal line in the air...
… the question hinges on whether Economou’s foot touched the line when he “snapped” the ball back to the 1-yd line.
Cannons... fire them.
www.BucEm.com - SBNation's home for discussion of all things regarding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I know IF Economos did, it would, but I dont think he did,
But Cox did touch the line, then downed it first.
Viva la Bucco Bruce 1976-1996 (reincarnated 2009)
If Cox touched the goal line and then got both feet back "in play" (reestablishing himself) then hes fine. If he didnt reestablish himself, its a touchback
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow

and dirk can throw the ball and move ar ound back there pretty good for a punter

I dont like it at all.
With the lead and a defense thats playing well? Why give the Falcons a short field?

Disagree completely.
For one, you make it that much easier for them to move down the field and take the lead. You also don’t want to give a lifeless, lethargic opponent a spark of life. Stick with being smart and punt the football.

A bunch of those runs came when they were expecting run though. We were 23 passes to 11 runs at one point (with the lead)

Back to the drawing board. There were some good things today, but some bad things as well.
Our run blocking is still garbage and we continue to go away from the hot hand.

Yes, agreed. run blocking not good, and go away from Caddy too fast.

You know you're a crappy team
when you keep losing to crappy teams…and memo to Rah: We want to play like a “grown up team” like the NY Giants? The Giants suck Rah…please aim higher
So frustrated with the GD Bucs right now….F^&*^%$#$%^%^%$$!
Fake punt when you have great field position
and go for a long field goal when you should punt it, once again for field position.
You got it
we have a cheerleader instead of a HC
Also...
If we are going to run Chuckie’s Offense I would rather have Chuckie running it.
This West Coast dink and dunk crap with our players does not work….s^%$#^*^%%$#!
And yes I concur with everyone saying our punter blows…go get a new one please!
Dink & dunk wasn't exaclty what happened...Just me watching I saw 4+ plays completed at 20+

Nice to see all the negatives storm the field
After we lose a close game which we played competitively in.
Guys, it wasnt play calling....
we just lost a close game, to a better team.
We didnt think we were better than Atlanta before this game started, so no reason to think that now.
We ran the ball for 2.8 yards per play. You cant want to run the ball more when thats all you get running the ball, or we would be saying PASS THE BALL more.
you cant say it was play calling just because the playcalling didnt work.
The fake punt was ballsy., but if we make it, we say its a great call.
Punting the ball doesnt guarantee we down it at the ten, it can easily go in the end zone, in that case, we gain a whole 18 yards. We did not lose the game because of that fake punt.
We played a better team very good, on the road.
The defense gives us a lot to look fwd too.
Josh Freeman is getting better and better, no INTS today.

I disagree on one thing.
I say we were the better team today. Just need to replace Dirk and give Trueblood pills. Also, they need to give Freeman security drills.
The playcalling early on was what let us score
We mixed pass and run much better. Then we got pass heavy in the 3rd quarter and didnt do much and got run heavy in the 4th quarter. Olsen mixed it up fine in the first half which let us go play action and move the chains. Its also when Caddy ran well. Once we went onesided, we got stagnant.

I agree...I see some serious positives coming out of this game..Within 3 more games I can see our D coming around nicely.
I can also see Freeman continuing to grow and giving us one helluva QB!
