Did the Bucs scout us @ IMG?

I know I'm probably going to catch hell for this, but am I the only person wondering if the Bucs scouted us a little @ IMG?

It was a lackluster performance yesterday, but there were more than a few plays on offense where it seemed like the Bucs were in the huddle with us...

You've gotta figure that IMG is crawling with employees that are Bucs fans, wonder if any of them were spying on us and sharing info with the Bucs?

Possible, but as Dpanhterman says, anything is... I'm sure this has been discussed ad naseum in other threads that I'm not even gonna open, but it looked to me like their game plan was simply superior to ours and they had a lot more fire going into the game.

Of course, due to the dumbasses at Fox we here in Wilmington missed the entire first quarter watching every last fuging second of the NO - WSH game... so I can't say what the start of the game looked like.

I didn't wonder this until you said it but, I was saying during the chat yesterday that it just seemed ridiculous, like they knew what we were going to run before we ran it.

Just seemed too easy for them, and Chud even tried stuff we didn't run a lot last year. I remember they had the double screen perfectly defended and everytime we tried to run the option they killed it. And Schiano seems like a dirtbag, so it wouldn't surprise me. It's not like they shut down all of IMG just because we were staying there.

Still goes on Rivera, IMO.

The difference was this...

We claim to run an attacking-style offense and defense that dictates the action rather than react to it. Well, yesterday, the Bucs proved they were better at executing that style of play than we were, and that is what is so troubling considering they have a 1st year coach who has mostly worked in college.

Yeah, even if they did scout us the coaching staff failed to make enough adjustments.

Dear Cat Man72,

Yeah, IMG may be crawling with Bucs fans and employees of our team, and certainly, they may have recording devices like that which is available on a typical android smartphone which would generate an audio or video file depending on which program you use.

I can assure you, I authorized no recording of our practices, even if my mentor is the Patriots head coach, Bill whom is notorious for filming everything to include his preparation of TV dinners.

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
