That's exactly the kind of weak, conservative strategy that I'd expect from Fox. His logic is skewed. It was a one score game, and one mishap could've put the Bucs back in it. Making it a two score game was the right thing to do.

just a note... i bet if you asked all the coaches in the NFL what they would do in that situation, every single one of them, except for MAYBE Gruden, which I even doubt, would say that they would want their player to take a knee at the one so the Bucs don't have a chance to win... it's not just Fox, so don't jump on the guy saying how bad he is... you're 10-3... he's obviously not that bad...

I really doubt it was a "scolding".

Williams even admitted falling down would have been better in the big picture.

No one turns down points tho ;)

Williams realized that he should have gone down AFTER he scored the touchdown. You make it seem like chose to score over falling down when really the thought hadn't crossed his mind

sorry, but i highly doubt the thought hadn't crossed his mind... they go over game scenarios like that every single week in practice I'm sure, but I'm sure he just got caught up in the moment and didn't want Stewart to finish the night with more touchdowns than him lol. It's really not a big deal... it's just something that happens with the team and the writer knew it would make a good story so he made it into more than it was...

Seriously can you not read ?

*sigh*

He said in the article taking a knee would be a better option.

I made ZERO reference to when he realized that, just that he said it.

So NO I didn't make it seem like that.:Yawn:

Did I say he was a bad coach? No, I didn't, so don't put words in my mouth.

He takes a knee at the 1, we get a new set of downs, eat up as much of the clock as possible, kick the FG to put ups up by 2 scores anyway and then give them the ball back with a minute and change and no TOs. But I'm not complaining. At all.

He could have taken a knee at the one. However, with the way we were pounding on TB, he would have scored a TD on the very next play (run up the gut).

I bet Fox would have really given him an earful if DWill would have sat on it and on the next play we get a bad snap or fumble, Tampa picks it up, runs it for a touchdown, gets the 2 point conversion, does an on-sides kick, gets the ball back and kicks a field goal to win the game.

but thats just my opinion

Just as likely. Or Dwill sat down someone cheap shots him cause the games over and he is out for the season and we lose all SB and playoff hopes. Its the Bucs fault for not catching him not Dwills for scoring.

This thread shows why there is a huge disconnect between the fans and coaches. And why most fans just don't think things through.

Putting your foot on someone's throat means pinning them down and not giving them a chance to get up. Scoring the TD and giving the ball back LETS THEM UP AND GIVES THEM A CHANCE - RUNNING THE CLOCK OUT GIVES THEM ZERO CHANCE.

Yeah scoring TDs is great, but there's a little thing called strategy that coaches like to use sometimes. It's such a trivial thing anyway, either way we would've won. But no one can argue that going down would have been the best thing to do strategically.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
