Okay. So let me get this straight. The defense is ass. But we try a fake punt because the defense is ass, and now Rhule is trash? God almighty the Huddle is special. 

Yeah because just line up and go for it. Why the hell have your punter out there trying to pick up 5 yards when 11 guys know what’s coming.

I can't blame them for the fake, might as well, we know the defense will just grab their ankles and bite the pillow anyway.

Our secondary is the worst in the league

I can't hate on them for trying the fake

I literally called it from my couch... fake punt incoming... they have over utilized it any team that uses their film room knows to watch out for them.

[Shocker]

I appreciate doing fakes to try to get back in the game but that was poorly conceived and executed.  We have a long way to go here.

The other 3 worked, no? The one against the Chiefs was a large reason that was a 2 point loss and not a 2 score loss, against arguably the best team in the league.

He sucks as a coach. Don’t you know?

I don't have any issues with calling fake punts, but when you do it as much as he has it becomes predictable and results in plays like that. In a season like this I'm completely cool with Rhule experimenting with those things, but calling this many fake punts in a season where the stakes are higher could be a problem.

[Carl Spackler]

You have to take chances and Rhule takes chances. Last week, they were smart bc they worked out and this week they haven’t.

That’s OK because when you have the Teddy Bridgewater of defensive coordinators and the Phil Snow of quarterbacks, you have to take chances

Idk what game you're watching, but Brady has had all day. Sitting front row. 

I don't know what game YOU are watching.  We pressured Brady at times in the first half and he'd avoid the rush and complete it.  For example, the Godwin throw on their first drive of the game.

Pressure doesn't make a difference.  It's why Brian Burns has low sack numbers.  Our DBs can't cover.  

[Peon Awesome]

Why not go for it if you're Tampa? What's the probability of converting? 90%? 95%?

By baby jesus, we actually got a third down stop?!?!

To be fair the Bucs stopped themselves. If they go for it, they will make it

Ya, they literally had their backs in a coverage this one though. TB practiced for exactly that. Cant do it back to back to back or the opponents are going to start burning you on it.

Meh. I like the aggressiveness. Especially compared to the old regime.
