Also, I was screaming throughout the game why aren't we running more.  The run game didn't not come to play, they weren't given the opportunity to play.  In the second half while we still had the lead it looked like Foreman was finally starting to get going with a few decent runs and then we just kept passing more than throwing.  Maddening.

You know what?   You're right.   Foreman did have a couple of good runs in the 2nd half but for some reason we went away from what got us here. 

The whole point of the running attack was to keep that Botox-looking motherf--ker off the field while scoring points.

I don't think that we got manhandled on the O-line. Was Darnold even sacked today? I know that he was pressured, but it wasn't all bad. We must remember that Tampa has a pretty good D-line. 

Now our D-line just wasn't at all effective, and it's really not surprising to me, as our DEs aren't as big and strong as necessary to push steady O-lines around on a consistent basis. The finesse game may be good enough against mediocre competition, but will only take you so far.

Was he sacked? Are you kidding?

also throw in that dumb wild cat play and read options that resulted in negative plays. just line up and run the ball with Foreman who will at worst get you 1-2 positive yards

I was at a New Year's celebration. I couldn't pay 100 percent attention on every play.. Even still, two sacks is nothing. Sam had time, and but for one ill-advised force along with a couple of possible under throws, he was slinging the rock enough for us to get a victory. O-lines are never perfect.

So...what happened to the dline and the oline?  Brady had all day to throw which is not good for a good secondary not to mention the scrubs we had playing.   These players want to play hard for Wilks but you could not see it on the field.  Got manhandled up front on both sides of the ball.  That surprised me.

We have been hiding the obvious problems with the oline by scheme all season.  By running down the throat of the defense.  Like I've said for weeks that is always going to be an inconsistent strategy against good teams.  They stacked the box.  Once they got a lead and we were in obvious passing situations our oline couldnt pass protect nearly as well.  Our oline is great at run blocking and average to slightly below average on obvious passing plays.  As far as the D line, they just cant get off blocks.  Once the o lineman gets hands on them they totally give up the rush and stand up.  That's why we never get any late pressure.   We either get through quick or not at all.  Holcomb relying on the front 4 to generate all pressure compared to Snow and his blitzing scheme has exposed them even more.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
