Liam Coen is so much better than Canales it isn't even funny, just lmao

Yeah, we so badly chose the wrong Bucs OC...

Only good news is that with the bucs winning the division, they will keep Bowles most likely

Our overall record is just an anomaly. The offense is overall bad. The rushing offense is pretty good but the passing offense is abysmal. The defense is about average. That combination should have you solidly in the top 10 of the draft but we've caught enough breaks here and there that the overall W-L record has a lot of fans thinking that we're better than we are when in reality we've found ways to win several games we probably should've lost.

I can't really fairly judge Canales right now. I have my issues with him but overall I think he's doing a pretty decent job of playing the cards he's holding which at the end of the day that's the coach's job. This is the hand, now play the cards as best you can. The whole has been greater than the sum of the parts.

He’s a young head coach. Neither he nor this team are really ready for this yet. We have overachieved this season. I expect some of this inconsistency to turn around next year. 

I tend to land there, but that was a 3-10 team today not a playoff opponent. 
I still have to stick with you can’t fairly evaluate any coach with Bryce running his offense.

Defensive HC takes that FG 100% of the time to go up 2 scores and we win

Offensive HC yea I can get that 1 yard and risk it ...

It isn’t Canales. It’s Bryce. It’s our draft strategy. To adequately utilize the receivers we drafted, you need a Joe Burrow style of QB, not Bryce. Bryce would thrive with a room like the Chiefs have. They even called him mini-Mahomes when he was drafted yet refuse to build the same style of offensive personnel.

I would have gone for it too. You don’t take the kick when you don’t have confidence in your kicker.

He is just too stupid.  Tries to force Hubbard early when Dowdle is hot, forces Dowdle today when Hubbard looks stronger, etc.

He is WAY too late to adjust to his team and who is hot at the time.  Also, forces passes when running is working.  We need wholesale changes ASAP, or this will get ugly.

I honestly do think it is an intelligence thing. The whole Rico debacle opened my eyes. Rico was hot. Two 200+ games in a row, complete dominance. Dave was not smart enough to play Rico instead of putting in an injured Hubbard (Hubbard even said he came back injured. I'm sorry, that isn't low intelligence, that is an IQ of a 5 year old and I still think a 5 year old makes the right decision. Injured guy, or not injured guy killing it? Think about how low of intelligence you have to make that decision. That is mid season firing decision. So much so that investigation into fixing a game should happen.

Its like Dave can't make decisions during the game. Like he is handed a gameplan and not allowed to change it. Its that obvious. There are only 3 scenarios. Dave is given the gameplan before the game and not allowed to deviate, he is fixing games, or he is incredibly stupid. I think it is one of the first two, I dont think he is that stupid.

I'm truly amazed how it seems like this team is just completely unprepared for their opponent week after week. I still think like 80% of our wins this year have happened in spite of DC being our coach - it's our defense/Evero somehow holding opposing teams to like 16 points or less or random games where Rico runs for like 200 yards.

At the end of the day, Bryce and DC should both be gone after this year. Sadly, neither will probably happen. I still want to see 1 game where DC calls nothing but deep shots 3/4 of the game so I can at least figure out if Bryce is good at throwing deep balls or if the 1 time we call it per game surprises opponents.

They’re to determined to look like a genius by forcing TMac to make plays he’s not ready to make that Coker makes all day long! Got to make sure we go to our 1st rounder and not a undrafted free agent 

[MechaZain]

The lack of misdirection in the playbook isn't helping Bryce. If the run game is contained he has to pinpoint dink and dunk us to victory and basically can't turnover. Canales atleast humors the idea of this system and that's why he's doing better than Reich but it's the same issue. You can mitigate this with more play action, bootlegs, letting Bryce move around in the backfield but they're just not doing anything creative with him to try open up the limited area of the field he can work in. 

I like the routes on our passing downs, that's about it.

Were you just like hanging out at The touchdown club or something 

saying you’ve been here since two years before the first game is weird
