Bucs Sing Familiar Song
December 29th, 2013If there was a sure bet in the National Football League this season, then it would have been the Bucs’ inevitable second half disappearing job on offense.
Joe’s never seen such a thing. It was almost as bad as the first-quarter disappearing act routinely seen during the Raheem Morris administration, when points in the first 15 minutes were as common as Joe ordering an appletini at Hooters.
Today was no exception, when the Bucs put up just one field goal on the Saints after two first-half touchdowns. There were drops and bad play calls and just good old fashioned ineptitude. It was especially scary considering the Bucs’ offensive line actually showed up today and played well against the NFL’s fourth-ranked defense.
Why? How could such a routine collapse not be coaching?
Greg Schiano freely says he has a strong hand in all phases of the team. The Bucs simply couldn’t find a solution to playing effective offense in the final 30 minutes of games. And Joe surely saw no excuse today.
The demise of the second-half offense surely will doom offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan. How could it not?
Will it doom Schiano, as well?

what they should do is fire Dom, and have Schiano be the GM. He seems like he’d be better suited for that kind of work. then fire both OC and DC.

How about Shiano for president?

Time to clean house. Fire the GM and the coaches. Only keep the college scout guy who has been doing pretty good in the draft for the team. I wish the Glazers would get fired too.

As usual, Schiano embarrasses Buc fans again. Fire Him Now

Schiano has had ample time to stop these constant stupid undisciplined penalties. Yeah, injuries and other problems are excuses for a lousy season. There seems to be no excuse for a supposed Schiano return.

In a perfect world the glazers sell the team and new owners clean house but that’s a pipe dream just like Shiano going to penn state.

Schiano is unwilling to change. Constantly, doing the same thing and looking for different results. He does not adjust. Part of being a successful coach is adjusting. I hope they have dungy on the phone to offer him the pres and GM position. Have him go get a coach and handpick talent.

Most teams play to win and compete for the post season, we play for the draft every year!

I always thought Schiano should get a third year. I’ve changed my mind, as long as Dom gets the boot also. We’ve had 5 years of rebuilding and an entire draft class no longer with the team which is totally unacceptable.
Glazers, it’s time to make the tough decision and give Dom his walking papers.
Dom said we should build through the draft and failed. So he did a 180 and said he needs to bring in free agents which was another fail. Nicks has played in 10 games in 2 years, Wright let him off the hook for that horrible contract. I’m not going to go on any longer.
Only keep the guy that came over from Seattle.

Funny I predicted 5-11 season and the reasons why and all the homers ripped me a new one haha

Clowney, you’re absolutely right, two meaningless wins has probably cost us a shot at OT, QB or DE. If we had only won 3 games overall, at least we would have been able to get someone that could help the team. This team is so screwed up it can’t even help itself get better–pathetic!

If you keep on doing what you are doing, you keep on getting what you are getting

Tbh I think the difference is the qb. Throughout Freeman’s entire career he was always better in the second half. Glennon this year is always better in the first half. Some guys have the ability to get better as the game goes on, and others can’t handle the pressure of the 4th quarter (or second half). What we need is a qb who can play all 4 freaking quarters.
