Interesting discussion, my thoughts:
a.) It's all up front with the state of offensive lines league wide. Every game I watch now...the pass rush is getting to QB's constantly. With guys like Josh Allen who can move around or Mahomes who can make off platform throws...it looks OK. But try other teams...the QB is under constant assault and needs to move around in the pocket to just even get their feet set.
b.) Aggressive play calling is a part of it too. If the Bucs kicked figgies yesterday...they would have been down 7-3...then 14-6...still within a score early in the 4th. Instead they went for it on 4th down when the Panthers were up 7-0...and again when the Panthers were up 14-3. Could have been 14-9...then allowing a figgie to the Panthers...and be driving to tie the game at the end....
c.) A lot of deep passes are being attempted on 3rd/4th and short.....just run the damn ball or do a QB sneak...
d.) A lot of players aren't just throwing away the ball...I mean Jimmy G took an ugly safety yesterday. Many QB's are taking sacks for losses when they could have just run out of the pocket and tossed the ball OOB.
