I don't know what the eff Dave Canales was thinking

[TD alt]

He took the pedal off the gas at exactly the wrong time during the drive. Why in the holy fvck would you call to weak-ass runs and not give an earnest attempt to move chains for first downs? I mean, you saw it didn't work one time, and then you call another one. That's just weak. The season is on the line, well-above the two minute warning, and he's calling plays like we're playing for a game-winning field goal. Weakness eptiomized! It's not fitting of a first-class head coach in the NFL.

This isn't a pass first offense and when we try that it turns ugly. Bryce Young had the chance to convert an easy first down to his hot route and he immediately bailed on the pocket putting himself in an awkward position which is what the Bucs wanted.

What I disagree with is running Rico. There were actually holes there and I think Chuba has a couple big gains there.

Canales has his flaws but overall all things considered he’s done more good than bad and I could see him continuing to improve and being a long term answer here. Bryce and Evero (both who Tepper made him keep) are hamstringing him though.

What he's done for the locker room culture is incalculable and will have an impact on the franchise for years to come, and I thank him so much and give him full credit for that.

But I still think he's beyond terrible as a game planning and play calling coach, and if you suck at both of those, you really shouldn't be an NFL HC.  He's not a Dan Campbell, there are very few HC's who can be successful as rah rah guys, I don't think Canales can be one.

He almost lost us the damned game. At the very least, he put the game in a perilous situation when it didn't have to be. Instead of taking the game by the throat, he puts it back in the hands of Baker and the Bucs.

People make me laugh. If we had thrown the ball again when we were in FG range, we are a tipped ball or miscommunication away from having a chance to win.

Jesus we are one win away from the playoffs, a solid year ahead of schedule easily in this rebuild, and Canales deserves a big part of the credit. 
 

Hindsight you can nitpick any play call or possession.

I don’t agree with every call he makes of course but good lord this ain’t Madden.

[WarHeel]

Rico looked lethargic today. Not sure what the deal was as he started relatively hot. 

[Daeavorn]

Canales has done an excellent job of rebuilding the culture and the morale of the team. 

 For that I give him an A+. 

 

But he's like a C- on game day

[countryboi]

It feels like he throws when he should pass and pass when he should throw

Ask Baker how that can go.

Kind of like the Bucs did. Their last pass cost them the game.
