Bigger Problem: Offense or Defense?

Youre up by 8 with 50 seconds left. Apparently its too much to ask of the D to hold em. Apparently its too much to ask them to get a stop in OT. Lol. They didnt even need to kick a FG.

Offense is averaging less than 14 pts per game. You realize that is nearly as bad as the dreadful Clausen year.

Offense in anemic.

Defense is allowing 18 pts a game. They are doing their part.

Don't you know that the defense does not get paid? The Special teams does not get paid either.

But when asked who is most responsible for the win against the Redskins...we get Charles Johnson or Luke...lol

The defense. They have much lower expectations hence them quitting or feeling like its a "bonus" to protect leads and close games. Our team is built to win predicated on our O putting up 30 every game which isnt realistic. Even when our D plays their best they still need our O to post 30 points. Other teams dont rely on their O for everything like we do. Their D's can actually go out and win games.

Bullpoo.

Since Luke has taken over....the D has only needed and asked the O to score a measly 20 pts and we walk away with several wins.

We aren't relying on our O....we are asking them not to be below average.

Bigger problem is the offense. Not even a question.

The defense is worn out by game's end because the offense can't stay on the field.

Offense right now is as bad as 2010. Who knows? By season's end they could be even worse.

Other than one or two games, our schedule lightens up over the final six weeks. Here's hoping they can accomplish something down the final stretch.

stop picking on Cameron Newton, people with vaginas are very sensitive.

I am not picking on Can. I personally think the issues with the offense is probably 70% coaching and 30% player execution.

They are not helping him with this scheme. But he has also not helped himself with his execution.

The offense, and more specifically Cam's horrible accuracy and the subpar offensive line performance.

That call on TD at the end though was the dagger. TB was 2nd & 10 on their own 20, and after that play it would've been 3rd & 10. Instead the Bucs get the ball on the Panthers' 47 and a new set of downs.

Officials have regularly fuged us this season. Just like in MMA, if you leave it close enough for the judge's decide then your fate is no longer in your own hands.

Except Sunday of course? We scored a measly 21, it wasnt enough. 20 points vs the Bears wasnt enough. 20 against Atlanta wasnt enough. 20 wasnt enough against the Saints. It doesnt matter how much we score, when our opponent buckles down and puts pressure on our D late, they wilt.

We still lean on our O for everything, defense has proven they arent capable of winning games. Theyre a supporting cast who arent very supportive despite having their standards lowered.

i know you're not, but some people are defending the offense for Cam's sake. Do you think anyone would possibly defend the offense if Anderson was playing QB and we had the same numbers?

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
