Official Tampa Bay Game Day Thread

[Brohm]

He can add in: "I promoted Campen and Slocum when they were not ready to coach in the NFL"

[g4orce]

Packers are 0 for 24 scoring TDs on opening second-half possession since start of '08 season.

what changed in 08?

[Bretsky]

Special Teams

So much for all the talk on how improving our specials has been a focus of the last two drafts.

[Scott Campbell]

another bye week this week; terrible weather, if it is, will benefit the team with very limited talent IMO

GB wins this one by at least 14 if they play below average

I should have guaranteed a loss as soon as I read this. I was having Odell Thurman and Robert Meacham flashbacks the entire game.


The curse of Bretsky strikes again.

these were mentioned by Michaels so of course I had to dog them up:

Very interesting take by Pelissero... he says he normally errs on side of calm. He says it's time for overreacting and admits this is not a playoff team. These are the kind of games that people get fired over.

ANyone know why McCarthy would think rotating o-linemen today would be a good thing ?

Sparkey, if you'll notice, this is what MM does week after week,

month after month, shifting the O-line around, playing musical chairs.

He hasn't figured out yet that having good solid players playing the same

other good players week to week is the answer -

Some of this is not all his fault, others enter into it, I'm sure you know...

Tauscher reinjured his knee so Barbre had to come in and I think Clifton had to come out for a couple plays as well.

Wow, this chat is epic. Very brutal of the coaching staff. Good, entertaining read.

I kindo like ta run da ball on evry down to run the clock and win da game - then when we fall behind I kindo like to go to seven step drop passes so my weak line can expose my QB ta more hits. What ya gotta gainst that stragedy?

Fox 6 has the post game show..

Brandon, as I said it's all cylical and in my opinion a lot of it has to do without having sustained drives. When they do move the ball, it's too fast. Seems weird to think about it being a problem but I feel like the D is always gassed.

10 plus minutes on TOP. How much longer would you like to hold onto the ball? I would prefer to score more often.

See I didn't know that. I feel like the D is always gassed. Do you agree? They always look like they're sucking wind.

Hard to say in Tampa when everyone is sucking wind with the heat. If pressed,I would say it was weather and not playing time. The offense contributes to this perception because of the number of times they take a sack or penalty early and it kills the drive right away. So everyone remembers the short drives and calculates a TOP problem in their head.

FYI, Tauscher told someone at JSO that he should be fine after a knee sprain.
