Bruce Arians Still Irked By Self-Inflicted Penalties
October 19th, 2021
Cleaning up mistakes.
Last year the Bucs traveled to Chicago and got humbled by the Bears, in part because the Bucs played with their heads up their tailpipes.
It got so bad that salad-bar-hating, park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking, tequila-shooting, smartphone-phobic, waffle-grilling, trophy-throwing, roller coaster-scared, numbers-rules-peeved, helmet-tossing, football-punting, Bucs-Super-Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady — he himself guilty of a mental mistake sin — lashed out at his offensive line on the sideline.
Well, that continued Thursday in Philadelphia, Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians said today. Difference is, the Bucs won and didn’t mentally pass gas as much as last year in Chicago.
Still, Arians is concerned that if this isn’t corrected soon, it will cost the Bucs a win.
“Was not pleased with the number of mental errors we had in that game on the road again,” Arians said. “Three critical penalties, things we have to correct before it costs us a game.”
Arians believes these penalties are correctable. He said the causes are rooted in simple fundamentals.
“We have to eliminate those major penalties,” Arians said. “They are all fundamentals. Those two pass interference penalties, that holding penalty, we have to eliminate those kind of penalties when it is fundamdnetal errors and not give [an opponent] two touchdowns on penalties.”
As for Arians, his message to the team to help correct this issue is a knockoff of his favorite phrase from two years ago, “Bucs beating Bucs.”
Arians said he told his team, “Don’t beat us.”
#GoBucs back at it today. Arians isn’t gonna tolerate the penalties they’re making. Too early to tell about Gronk. #Bears week! pic.twitter.com/47ClgJmVEt

We have to clean up those penalties. Against better teams, we may not fare as well if we keep gifting 100’s of yards at a time.

Bruce is Nostradamus for once. Get it cleaned up or we’re a Wild Card team again.

Bucs have to have flawless technique. Lord knows the refs ain’t giving them any benefit of the doubt.

IT’S ALMOST LIKE THE REF’S ARE OUT TO GET THE BUCS JUST AS MUCH AS THEIR OPPONENTS THIS YEAR !! OUR D-LINE IS HELD ON ALMOST EVERY PLAY , AND THE P.I. CALL’S AGAINST US HAVE BEEN MOSTLY NO CALL’S IF IT WAS ANY OTHER TEAM !! IT STARTED IN WEEK 1 AND I REMEMBER JERRY JONES SAYING HE WOULD DO ANYTHING IT TOOK TO GET THE 🐄 BOYS TO THE SUPER BOWL. MAYBE A LITTLE EXTRA POCKET CHANGE FROM J.J. IS ONE OF HIS WAY’S TO “TRY” … GO BUCS

Thanks Rock! Chicago is always a hostile place for us to play at.
Their fans are gonna be on the warpath after Aaron Rodgers Trolled them after the game, and said “I Own You” to them, LOL

20 percent of this article is a paragraph on Tom brady titles? I guess? Does anyone think that shtick is funny. I know the writer clearly does. Prolly slapped his own shoulders red after that verse. I legit can not stand this writer lol.

Geez. Another nickname whiner.

The problem is players tune out the coach. What turned things around last year was Brady yelling at the OL for senseless penalties. Sure enough next game and for the rest of the season penalties were not an issue.

Zack, one of the Joes pads his posts with superfluous modifiers. The other Joe is a good writer. When I encounter the fat-prose
Joe, I skip to the comments. It’s that or read on while crushing beer cans on my forehead. Not that my forehead can’t take it. (I’m running out of cans.) Does anyone have a spare hammer? Got to be less painful than reading that Brady paragraph!

Good! He should be. The number of penalties per game is ridiculous

I do hope lazy ass Smith is hearing this.
