NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2022 NFL Playoff Monday - Wild Card Round - Cow Patties vs the Avocados

No, and I find your post immature.

Running the ball takes commitment and toughness, the Bucs had none. They ran all over Dallas in week one and stopped running. Running when teams know you need a short down is a recipe for low production.

Tampa Bay's running game was historically bad this season. By totals or by averages, on 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th down, in the first and second halves, before and after contact, red zone, low red zone, etc. Just REALLY bad.

I’m not arguing it, it simply is. Arians led the entire NFL in passing yards and TD’s with Jameis Winston the year before Brady arrived. The only reason the team was bad was because Winston put up a historic turnover total, really…. historically bad.

Any decent QB could have joined the team and looked good, adding the most efficient QB in the NFL was a bonus. The Bucs ran the ball in the playoffs because they were losing games earlier in the season by being one dimensional. The fact they reverted back to that pass happy team once Tom got Arians fired tells me who fixed that imbalance back in 2020… and it wasn’t Leftwich or Tom.

Coaching matters, I don’t know how a supposed Patriot’s fan could watch the abomination that was the Matt Patricia offense this year, or watch the Giants or Jags massive improvement and take a stance that coaching is irrelevant. Total fanboy nonsense…

I've never said coaching is irrelevant. Just the players are more important. Especially the quarterback.

The Bucs run/pass ratio was similar in 2022 than 2021. 67.8 to 66.5, both tops in the league. In 2021, one of the league's best offenses; in 2022, one of the worst.

Wasn't Brady supposed to coach them up?

It was cute watching the Bucs try to run the ball all season long with that terrible O-line and pedestrian RB's. Chris Godwin played his way out of a contract (or at least should). Mike Evans shows up when he feels like it. No TE's. Defense sucks. I hope Tom goes somewhere else or better yet, just retires.

That's worked out really well for the GOAT HC.

That's not a fact at all until you show me the video to confirm it.

But you're comparing HCs: BA to Bowles, Urban to Pederson, Judge to Daboll. Why pivot to Patricia? Bill was the HC in '21 and '22. Is Bill declining?

Then why do you care?

Well, in essence I suppose I don't really, or maybe for me, because it is an NFC Game Day Thread that was played last Monday.

Then stop preaching dude. You come across as soft.

A poor assessment.

I'm glad. Carry on.

You're still here?

Really hope this thread gets locked soon.

I will always have the good manners to reply to someone who addresses me, other than that, no. Carry on.

Well, you sound like a gentleman. Either that or a guy that has to have the last word.

Funny, I was thinking the very same thing about you, the last word part I mean, lol

You can have it, as a gentleman. Go ahead reply to this and I'll stop. I yield the floor.
