That last play...

They say that no one single play determines the outcome of a game.

But last night, the last play could have overcome all the mistakes and missed opportunities that came before.

I'm probably not alone in having the feeling that we were gonna pull this game out of the dumpster fire, as we moved down the field, into the red zone, and inside the 5.  Story book ending.

Arians and his DC gave us a gift-wrapped present with their monumental time-mgmt goof, calling 2 TO's consecutively.  What a coaching 101 idiot move that was.  Should have been the goat horns on them .. but no.

Despite the advantage we gained from turning a 4th and 1 1/2, into a 4th and 1/2 yard, we blew the chance.

Some say they didn't mind the play call. It had worked last game. (but that is precisely why it shouldn't have been called this time.  You think TB didn't study tape from the Rams' game?)

Far better calls, with greater chances of success, would have been to bring in Armah, and let either him, or Cam take it over the top.  Talk about plays that have worked before!  Good for 1/2 yard?   Duh.

Or roll Cam to the right, away from the strength of the Bucs' DL, with the option of running through a gap, or tossing a 5yd TD to Olsen, crossing behind the D from the left.

It coulda been candy and nuts...

Yes, it should have either been a FB dive with Armah, a QB Power with Cam or an I formation, HB dive with a FB lead, but we got none of those.  Instead we get bullshit Wildcat, mis-direction crap, where CMC has to run 10 yards to try and pick up a foot.  It was pathetic, and a fitting end to a pathetic 5 days of football.

Was a soft play call. We used to be a hard nosed team but that’s no longer the case.

I think all that went away the moment our star QB starts wearing a goddamn bonnet to his post game pressers.  His Bougie Granny look does not scream hard nosed football guy to me.

Brady, Brees, Rodgers...hell even Dak and Mahomes would have made that throw to Samuels for winning TD!!!  Even with defenders in the face!  Why?!  Because that is nothing new to quarterbacks!!!  Defenders are always gunning for you and getting in your face!!!  Still should have connected with that pass!  I did love Cam and rooted hard for him early on, but he is NOT the same Cam anymore, people change or get ruined by the moronic coaching staff!

LOL...He is gay.  Nothing against gay folks.....he is just simply gay.  Before you all start screaming he got kids and all....you all know men who have kids only to come out gay later in life!  But that isn't the point......point is.....Cam got soft, period.

What baffled me more than the playcall itself....

 

was that after the double TO, we gave them THE EXACT SAME GODDAMN LOOK AND FORMATION as we were initially going to run on the 4th and 1.5.

 

I embarrassed myself in front of the ATL Riot folks when I bolted out of my chair and screamed at the TV.

Should’ve won this game before that last drive. One last play shouldn’t determine the outcome. We kicked 4 fgs

There is this, but not about the FG's.

Go watch 2nd and 10 from the 11.  Cam has two wide open receivers, DJ around the 6 and Samuel in the end zone.

It's kinda hard to see, but as the ball is released the defender on DJ here has a hand on the ground trying to turn and run with DJ.  A good throw and DJ scores.

But that's not the sickening one.  Look at Curtis here:

That last play was never the problem.  This game was won.  Right here on 2nd and 10.  Great play design with the over / under concept, isolating your two best receivers such that their defenders had no help and honestly no hope.  All Cam has to do is pick ONE of these guys to score the winning touchdown.

And he failed with ball skying over DJ and falling at Curtis' feet.

I knew right when Cam motioned that it wasn't going to work lol Lol Cam ran one time the whole game (in which he fumbled), and Norv thinks motioning him out is going to garner attention. Like what? We went for the homerun swing when all we needed was a SAC bunt. The fact they didn't run a play that is almost automatic (Cam sneak) makes me think Cam is A LOT MORE hurt than they are letting on...................or they're just fuggin dumbasses, which is what I'm going with.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
