Game 14: Bucs @ Packers - Sunday, Dec. 17th 12 PM

Wow that's bad.

[adambr2]

Matt. See what's happening and call timeout. You took it from 3rd and 6 to 3rd and 11 and killed that drive. 

[yourout]

MLF needs to pay attention to the game clock

[young guns]

And now Reed looks hurt ugh. 

[adambr2]

Our 4th down fakeout game is so weak and never does anything.

It did fake out the announcer for a second lol

I think the idea is we do it enough and we can trick teams by actually snapping it. I don't know that it is a sound strategy though.

+1 show some weird formations and motion.

Have they ever actually done this? I don't recall them "faking" anyone out with a last second snap.

That one announcer was incredulous that we got called for another delay and I'm sitting there thinking "they were never going to snap the ball you buffoon."

Like when, in 2028?

[DuWayne Steurer]

The argument for this nonsense is always "there's nothing to lose" and "maybe they're setting up a fake three years from now".  There is something to lose. The three minutes of my life that I have to watch them stand there for 30 seconds, then they take the penalty, go to a commercial, come back,  punt anyways, and then go to another commercial, when they could have just punted in the first place.

Maybe I can petition the NFL to make clock violations on 4th down a 15 yard penalty and the Packers will stop doing this.

They have snapped it in that exact situation a couple of times recently. I can't remember but seems like it didn't work out.

[HarryDoyle]

Our two minute defense. SMDH.

[adambr2]

Looks like Joe sure learned some things from seeing his unit get shredded in their last 2 minute drill.

Prevent defense prevents you from winning. 

[OldHeidelberg]

Maybe we can cover Godwin? Geezus I hate watching when our defense on the field..

That 3rd down pass was the exact same play as earlier. And if course it had the same result.

[adambr2]

Lol was that ever predictable. Nice zone. 

[homer]

it's actually astounding how bad our pass defense is if we don't get pressure

[HarryDoyle]

 

[adambr2]

Well over 200 yards in the first half against Baker Mayfield.  Yet Joe will be right back up in the booth in Carolina next week.

Probably would also be helpful to have a #1 cornerback that is available to play games once in awhile. 

[Strike4]

How exactly do you give up 24 yard completion in a shell coverage?
 

I mean that basically the point of the coverage.

[DuWayne Steurer]

2nd and 29 and Godwin catches a 25 yard pass with his defender still 5 yards downfield from where he caught the ball.  I know you don't wanna give up a TD, but you also want to at least *try* to deny them field goal range.
