Another Word On Raheem’s Job Security
November 20th, 2011
Joe gets that the Bucs have underachieved this season and that today’s loss is merely a ray of hope that the Bucs can salvage a decent 2011 campaign.
With all the chatter about Raheem Morris’ job security last week, Joe wrote a post a couple of hours ago saying today’s game helped his cause. But Joe sees the bile in the comments section and reads what’s in his inbox, so Joe wants to clarify for those reading far too deep into Joe’s post.
So here’s the damn clarification.
Look, Joe has no opinion on Raheem’s ultimate job security because Joe believes the jury is out on this season. It’s a body of work hardly finished. Yeah, if the Bucs were 2-8, Joe would be shopping for pitchforks, but that’s not the case. Joe was simply stating that today’s loss actually helped Raheem’s cause, if only for a week. If Team Glazer has a secret chalkboard in their cone of silence, this one goes in the “Keep Raheem” column.
Ultimately, as every Bucs fan knows, Raheem will be judged on the final results for 2011. You want Joe to put a win total out there? No problem. Given what’s transpired to date season, Joe can’t imagine Raheem returns if he only wins two more.
So that’s where Joe sits on Nov. 20.

Did I make myself clear?

Dude! Don’t go all Raheem on us.

To the Glazers:
It’s time to go on a Fisher(ing) trip!
HINT…HINT….HINT

Geez, what got into you Joe??? “Why so serious…”
November 20th, 2011 at 8:33 pm
If the Bucs don’t go 4-2 the rest of the way, I believe Raheem’s job is not guaranteed. The remaining teams, except the Falcons, are the weakest we’ve played all year (excluding the Colts who we barely beat). Most teams in this league can get fired up to play the champs who are undefeated (i.e. the Packers), but how they play against the remaining foes will tell the real story.
This is year 3 and there is no such thing as a moral victory. In the first 2 years of rebuilding, yes, moral victories counted. No longer. It’s just another disappointing loss that didn’t need to be, except with a slightly tighter margin of loss this time. Whoopee. If anyone is excited about a 9-point loss then your standards are so low you might as well quit watching the NFL and switch to Arena League ball, because that’s one lame ass standard.

Raheem’s job is safe. Despite what you lame, whinny lil girls wanna cry about. The team us ran by intelligent people. Not subject the the pitful moaning of the ignorant.
November 20th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Joe here,
@Architek — No worries, dude. Joe’s just firing back. Joe hates when his words are misrepresented.
November 20th, 2011 at 8:42 pm
LMAO @ Joe for recognizing he had lost all credibility or being nothing but a shill for Raheem Morris with that earlier blurb about this LOSS saving Raheem’s job!
November 20th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Joe here,
@jb — Go read that post again, bozo. Joe didn’t shill for anyone or make claims clowns like you assumed are there. Joe can’t be responsible for poor reading comprehension.
November 20th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
You guys are delusional…seriously.

And judging by that horribly written excuse for a sentence, some of the fans on this board “us NOT ran by intelligent people”.
November 20th, 2011 at 9:24 pm
The team is run by more intelligent people than yourself FLBoy. People that have forgotten as much football as you know. Way to pick on a guys spelling error, stay classy over in Dallas.
November 20th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Class and Dallas don’t belong in the same sentence, sorry for that.
November 20th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
games like today should be the expectation every week, not the exception. so far, for the most part under raheem, these well played games have been the exception. if they can play like this, and keep raheem away from special teams, i’ll be a believer.
November 20th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
they listened to the dumb fans got rid of gruden and hired this jackwagon…

@Capt. Tim
“Raheem’s job is safe.”
How are you so sure? Really, this teams performance this year has been horrible.
You’re still in favor of them returning definitely next year? Hell, it seems like you’ve been criticizing them more frequently on here lately.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Joe,
The problem is half of these bozos made their mind up a long time ago, and half are over-emotional little girls whose opinions change with the wind. They don’t understand the simple concept of letting the season play out. If they ran the team, we would average 2 coaches per season
November 20th, 2011 at 10:31 pm
Joe..thanks for fishing the turd out of the punchbowl and clarifying your previous post. Haha
It wasnt an unreasonable analysis. Ultimately he’ll be judged at the end of the season, unless there is a complete collapse between now and then.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Pruritis Ani:
As eye-RAH Kaufman pointed out, if the team had tanked on Raheem again or threw in the towel for the season, Raheem’s in dire straits.
The team probably gave it’s best effort today, without GMC, without Tanard Jackson and had the world champs on the ropes in their own house with the temperature hovering near freezing.
No, the Bucs did not win. But they gave their best effort and probably played their best game of the seson. Joe understands this is not kindergarten but it was a sign that Raheem did not lose his locker room.

Okay Joe…..Then why the need for this article to explain yourself? I’m just sick of all the HOMERS that call themselves BUCS fans making excuses for and defending the indefensible in the job Morris is doing with our team!
November 20th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
world champs on the ropes what game were you watching LOL
November 20th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
One could ask you the same fake John Lynch

Even though the Bucs didn’t win today, they had more players doing things right than they have all season. This was their best game of the season, even as a loss. I was happy with the way the played all in all and they had a shot. It sucks to lose but this was a drastic improvement, against the best team in the NFL, by far. Even Greg Olson halfway pulled his head out of his @$$, but he could have done better, Raheem too with that late punt.
November 21st, 2011 at 12:10 am
Oh and as a Homer, I go to every game, and have for some time. In other words, I put my money where my big mouth is, which is lot more than I can say for most of these armchair windbags in here. I support the team no matter who is the Coach or GM or whatever. If they spitcan Raheem today, I will support the new Coach tomorrow. I really don’t care, I just want to win and have a team that plays all out when they lose.

Well said BigMacAttack. Like i’ve said before, half the idiots that comment on this site don’t even know what they’re watching on Sunday, mostly because they’re watching the game on their grainy internet feed on their pirated website. Clowns. If you don’t make the effort to go cheer and yell in support of your team then you have no business commenting on their play. Unless you’re truely broke, I’m just speaking to the people who CHOOSE not to go.

Perfectly said BigMac!

Barring an extremely pathetic showing in the final several weeks of the season, Raheem will be back for at least 2012. This stretch of the schedule was very difficult. One could argue we played against three of the top five teams in the league…one of them twice! Not making excuses, but people really need to look at the whole picture here.
November 21st, 2011 at 8:18 am
Perfectly said (insert name)
Well said (insert name)
It is AMAZING how people ignore FACTS and circle the Homer wagons and throw out insults instead of FACTS to boost their misguided opinion(s).
FACT: The Bucs lost game #4 IN A ROW.
FACT: Josh Freeman had two (2) interceptions in this game
FACT: The Bucs missed on two (2) special teams plays that resulted in 14 Green Bay Points.
Unlike the Detroit Lions game in 2010 (which the Bucs did win but was robbed by the refs – see the apology letter to Bucs) there was no way the Bucs ‘should’ have won this game. Green Bay is the better team that was looking past the Bucs to this Thursday’s Thanksgiving showdown with the Detroit Lions.
In fact the Lions were looking past the Carolina Panthers as well but because the Lions are a good team they managed to befuddle Cam and won their game.
Stop the excuses people. Saying that this game proves Raheem hasn’t lost the lockerroom is like saying that the guy who has a habit of hitting his wife/girlfriend is ‘cured’ because of a really good date.
Tigers don’t change their stripes nor do leopards change their spots. The Bucs won’t make the playoffs with the current coaching staff in place. Staying a fan and chanting the party line only emboldens the ownership. If you wanted a bi=polar team then we should have kept Gruden – at least with his team(s) the Bucs appeared in the wild-card game every other year.
2011 Marks the fourth (4th) year the Bucs will spend January sitting in front of the TV watching real teams play football.
November 21st, 2011 at 9:21 am
What makes anyone thing the Glazer boys will invest the money to hire a new coach?
I see nothing whatsoever to indicate they would.
November 21st, 2011 at 9:57 am
I want to know why there was such a lack of effort in the previous games. And dont say because they are young. SF has shown how much a coaching change can influence whether a team wins and loses.

Yeah????????????
Well so do I!
Were you there for 0-26? I was!
Were you at One Buc Place waiting for the team after our very first win against the Saints in December 1977? I was!
Were you there when we won our first playoff game against the Eagles? I was!
Were you in San Diego at Qualcom Stadium in 2003 when we saw the culmination of all the hard work and heartache of the previous 26 years? I was!
Being a 35 year season ticket holder and being there throughout the team’s history while investing a large sum of money & time doing so has earned me the right to question what’s happening to the team I follow so passionately!
You don’t believe so? YOU’re the one with ISSUES, Not us!
You all would be making excuses for Phil Freaking Krueger if he were still here running things for Culverhouse.

THIS IS A RIDICULOUS POST. THE LAME STREAM LOCAL MEDIA IS ACTUALLY CELEBRATING THIS LOSS. “WE DID GOOD!” “THEY PLAYED WELL!” “A LOSS WHERE THEY PLAY HARD IS OK!” THIS DEMONSTRATES THE LOW CLASS, LOW RENT STYLE OF THE LAME TAMPA MEDIA. THERE IS A REASON THESE GUYS DONT WORK IN A BIG MARKET
November 21st, 2011 at 1:58 pm
John in an ACTUAL “big market” these guys are tame…Raheem wouldn’t even get a sniff in a world class market…
