(By Charles Chandler, [email protected]) It all came down to the red zone on Carolina's end of the field, a precious expanse of territory starting at the 20-yard line and leading to the goal line. p/ On every other part of the field, Tampa Bay rookie quarterback Josh Freeman played like a marvel Sunday at Bank of America Stadium, but once he got near the red zone, his most important passes were caught by Panthers.

pretty much, Tom Brady is not going to just get into the end zone and get only FGs or throw picks, and neither will Brees or Favre. It seems like we are going to let them march down the field and hope they make mistakes.

Oh, but haven't you heard? If Fox will remove the chain of oppression that is schackled to Matt Moore's right arm we will readily score 49 points + a game. No need to have a D.

This is why I am sick and tired of Fox Ball. His style of play depends on the defense HAVING TO get turnovers in order to win. They cant win a game unless they get a bunch of turnovers. This just keep it close and win in the 4th Qtr crap sucks. I am sooooo hoping this franchise moves on and brings in a new HC.

And this quote pisses me off.....

They either had to kick field goals or we caused turnovers," said defensive tackle Damione Lewis. "That's what I've been talking about (needing to do) all year. "That's what this defense is designed for."

I got a better idea..... how about running a defense who's philosphy is to NOT give up any yards and make a team punt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a novel idea! someone should run that by fox and see what he thinks!!!

nah, depending on interceptions at the goal line of poorly thrown balls by a rookie quarterback makes for a much more exciting win!

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By strato · Posted

      I expect Young to play better and the team to play better.  Week one is something I refuse to give much weight to, going back to when we had 4 preseason games.    All kinds of unpredictable outcomes happen week one. Seen it too many times to discount that. Since the 17 game schedule, I don’t pay much mind to results and how the units look until week 3. The units just need time to get the teamwork and timing together under real conditions. Not a series at 90% in preseason. That won’t do it. And it is hard to get around it.  But Frank is right when he points to the difference in how the offense looks with an NFL level arm behind center. Seattle in 2023, Vegas in 2024, were just liberating for the passing game.    This Bryce ball is no fun to watch unless he is having a day where  everything is clicking. Which I think we saw one time. Out of 29. Meh.

      Doesn't help that Coen beat up on Evero's defense pretty good last season both times. Looks (and sounds, according to TLaw) like he has the scheme figured out. 😮

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Yeah, it’s not complicated. is a seam route a hospital ball? No. can a seam route be a hospital ball ? Yes.   if you are throwing seam routes do you need to make sure you don’t hang your TE/WR out to dry? Yes.  Because of injury.  as a former NFL QB explained….Bryce was late with the throw (common issue with Bryce) and  threw it too far up field.  So a seam route became a hospital ball. result? An incompletion that got his WR banged up  honestly have no clue what Bryce defenders are doing at this point.   I’m out on talking about all his bad throws from Sunday.
