it was a hell of a call, Bryce knew what was up as soon as the house came after him, 1v1 on the outside.  As I said, glad they didnt, but there was no reason for the bucs to not run prevent there, anything in the field and half is over, running man coverage and sellout blitz is just asking for bryce to take a shot in the endzone.

But that’s why I’m proud of them, bc the Bucs ran that bc of how we have historically played with Bryce.  They didn’t think we would look deep or take a shot at all, so if they pressured us, they could take us out of FG range with a sack waiting for something to develop underneath.  That’s what I and most of Bryce’s detractors have been waiting for.  Those shots are there, and teams play us so aggressively bc they knew in the past Bryce wouldn’t even look for it.  Not only did he look for it, but he made the line adjustment presnap when he saw the pressure coming and then took the shot.  Like you said, if you know it’s 1 on 1, give your guy a shot.  We gotta keep that same energy going.  If we can count on that element consistently, we are an excellent team.

Its not as crazy as you think..... they didn't think brycey would throw it

I think they were playing all out for the sack, which I can appreciate the gamble. 
 

Sack = end of half. Try to throw it away with pressure in his face = pick 6 or grounding. Roughing the passer wouldn’t have been a big deal with such little time on the clock. Panthers hit a TD maybe 3 times out of 10 with that play.

That was bizzare by the Bucs. One on one with no safety help knowing that we would take a shot. Bryce couldn’t have handed it to him better. TMac made it look easy. Just beautiful 

They have been looking back and being blind to TMac all game while reaching out and grabbing at TMac to slow him down because they know Bryce is throwing to a spot. TMac set the DB up and swung out of reach from the DB knowing he wouldn't look. That's how they're getting away with PI.

As soon as the DBs have to start playing TMac instead of playing the QB with PI, it's over because they can't single him while keeping the safeties focused on the run and routes over the middle. They will have to play TMac and not look at the QB or they will need to put a safety deep over the top of TMac. That will open up space for Rico, TEs and crossing receivers. Great adjustment by Canales.

Let's see if the DBs keep playing blind with PI on TMac

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
