Bucs @ Saints Second Half Game Thread: Bucs trail Saints 17-3
by Sander on Nov 6, 2011 2:45 PM EST

PrintAnother week, another horrible first half. What else is knew. Gerald McCoy is out for the game with an arm injury, which really hurts the Bucs' pass rush. Drew Brees has had plenty of time, mostly because the Saints have focused on protection keeping in extra blockers, and because the Bucs are getting no inside pass rush going.
Meanwhile on offense, nothing appears to be working. Except running the ball with Legarrette Blount, but the Bucs don't seem awfully committed to doing that.
The positives: Preston Parker still looks good, and the Bucs haven't had any turnovers. Yet.
Can the Bucs get it together in the second half as they have done so often, or will they continue to suck? It seems like I have to write that sentence every week.

Are you allowed to run the ball?

Our defensive scheme is awful.

Two runs in a row. Wow

aw that one coming. Nice on Ronde!

Now dont give it back. Run the ball. Knock it in there
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Ronde has played better this year than last.
I suppose it helps having experience over the top and a bit quicker of a pass rush.

it sucks when the qb throws the ball right at your hands like that...

Morris needs to focus more on coaching, not defense.

I'm sure if Morris wanted a DC he would have one.
Fact is he won’t humble himself enough to say that he needs one.

Notice Morris gives it to Blount, but coddles Talib

True, but LGB is younger and will listen.
Talib is a lost hope as far as attitude. But he has and will coddle him too much.

Hey Sander
Now you see why you do draft running backs in the higher rounds.
because your not just drafting for talent your drafting for mental stability and high character guys.
punching a guy for no reason in the red zone, shows why Legarrette Blount wasnt drafted and why we were able to get him for nothing.
We need talent but we also need guys who can think at critical situations.
Door knobs with helmets.
Josh Freeman will be better than Matt Ryan, Cam Newton cant compete with FreeFive. Not so sure about Drew Brees.
I completely disagree.
Running backs are a dime a dozen. Unless there is a once a generation talent, you can get system guys off the street.

I second this.
Look at first round running backs Daniel Thomas, Mark Ingram, Knowshon Moreno… They are sure bets by any means. For every Adrian Peterson you have a handful of guys who do nothing…
Am I going MAD, or did the word "think" escape your lips?
So by this logic all first round draftees are intelligent?

excuse me
hardly a consistent problem? he has been televised punching 3 seperate opponents in the face.

First of all I said higher rounds not first round
Secondly i agree to an extent with your point, but when you take guys off the scrap heap there are often reasons why they are there.
Josh Freeman will be better than Matt Ryan, Cam Newton cant compete with FreeFive. Not so sure about Drew Brees.
Entirely true
But that doesn’t mean you have to draft them in the first round. Saints are doing fine with Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory.
Hold up a minute blount has not had that many personal fouls lets not get carried away

Our defense should be embarrassed

They've approached us differently.
One key thing, they are making sure Clayborn doesn’t get to Brees.
We'll go pass heavy, punt, stop them, and then score to get it closer

Missing McCoy hurts really badly
Especially so with Okam out. Only two defensive tackles playing right now: Price and Miller.

Freeman high/long again
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
I'm dangerously thinking that Raheem has to go.
because he’s not teaching disipline , he’s not inspiring the team to step up.
and i’m really concerned that this laid back approach is going to set us back two years.
Why not run it twice if youre going for it. Its 3 yards
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Stop going to K2 he is not explosive anymore
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
I hate Olson. Run that on goal to go from the 2, not the 7
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Williams didnt even try
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Why didnt we run the effing ball? goal to go from the 7 and we throw it twice with a QB draw
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
FG makes sense, about 10 plays ago
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Right The FG was fine, but if youre going for it on 4th eearlier, why not then?
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
That's ridiculous
It’s the fourth quarter, and we’re down by 18 points on the 7 yard line. Go for it on fourth down.
and what kills me more
is that we killed more clock than the saints did on a GF drive.
yeah, i’m back on the Raheem and staff (including Dominik) now has to go.
yes , he is part of the problem
Dominik’s ego , and not stepping up in tell raheem what needs to be corrected is a major flaw with this team.
It almost as bad as the Bruce Allen/ Jon Gruden relationship.
you may not like the opinion, but there is something clearly wrong here.
just like how i don’t agree with some of your opinions i don’t go out of my way to belittle them.
On which facts do you base that opinion then?
How do you know what he is and isn’t telling Raheem Morris? Or how it compares to Gruden/Allen?
We got a lot of young good players whose talent is being wasted with shitty coaches

is running for almost 7 yards a pop and we pass it 6-7 times in the redzone and dont run it ONCE with goal to go

.........
I was thinkin the same thing. Raheem has to take control of the situation. Olson should be fired though. I can’t believe we have Blount and the ball inside the 7 and don’t have ONE run play with him. Stupid. Just out right DUMB. I don’t get it.
Now we go into all pass mode

Umm Sander
Thats how Freeman is supposed to get the ball to Winslow over a zone defense.
See it IS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO THROW THE BALL OVER A DEFENDER
Again: I was talking about a specific play there
Not in general.
Also, Winslow was wide open there because of the play design.
It was a linebacker underneath.
But i just want you to see what my point was and not make it as a one instance situation. I will drop it though at this point. Just wanted you to see what my gist was.
Youve beenc omplaining about him throwing too high, and now you are saying he needs to throw high
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
You throw high when its necessary.
Like in that instance. But majority he throws high and too far ahead.
Defense has to step up here
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.

I would guess so
Though I think with Hayes off the field the Bucs linebacking corps really lacks speed.
One more first down and its over.
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Well, it give the team a little more time, but it's kind of negligible
Timeout at 2:30→first down run→2:00→second down run→timeout at 1:50→third down run→ timeout at 1:40→punt
versus
first down to 2:00→first down run→timeout at 1:50→second down run→timeout at 1:40→third down run→timeout at 1:30→ punt
Ten second difference or so
"Timeout at 2:30→first down run→2:00"
Call all three before the 2 minute warning. It doesn’t take 30 seconds to run 1 play.
How do you have Watson chasing Sproles from an impossible spot on the field
there was no way he was gonna help on that double team. and he leaves a void in the middle of the defense.
Fail Raheem!
