ravishingone Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bills were 9-13 on 3rd down. So the players on the field were good enough to get the Bills in plenty of 3rd and longs, but somehow become complete garbage on 3rd down? Im not buying complete lack of talent on that side of the ball. make tgat 10-16 for the game, still garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 As a potential comparison, Sean Payton is on his 5th DC. Granted, a winning Super Bowl coach will get a longer leash. Going to be a very interesting Monday to see what happebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Shorty Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Speaking of Sean Payton. Saints are the class of the NFC South. Who would of thought that, even more so after the first 2 weeks. This division really is up for grabs if we can just get this D together. FYI we are 2nd to the Pats in total offense with just under 400 yards a game and we are 30th in total defense with giving up just over 400 yards a game.

Our offense couldn't do a lick against New England, Minnesota and Arizona. Our offense got some garbage time stats and fitz led 30 points in the second half. Our defense sucks but let's not say our offense has been stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Shorty Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ward now Baker. Baker runs his mouth but this still isn't good. Bodes bad for Mike Smith as it's obvious he's not putting the D in position to be successful. Bodes bad for Licht who signed these guys. And lastly, in order, it bodes bad for Koetter who could lose this team if things don't change NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically just saying that we are putting up 400 yards of offense, garbage time or not (figures in to everyone's stats), and are still giving up more yards on defense. D is the clear #1 problem.

The fact that we talk about players turning on coaches and quitting makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The 9ers are winless and all they talked about during the broadcast was how much the players were still buying into the system and loved the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has a chance to implode quickly. I m not sure what Licht will do or not do, but this will be his crossroads moment as GM. He can rightfully claim he got the Qb, which he did. As a long time Bucs, trust me this offense is light years ahead of anything put on the field previously. Now the defense is historically bad, your move Mr. Licht.

Lil' Shorty Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Unless the ENTIRE team just quits and implodes, which I don't see happening, Koetter will be back for another season. We can't keep firing coaches after every 2 seasons. However, I'd be shocked if the defensive side of the ball didn't see a coaching overhaul. Also, I could see the owners letting Licht walk and bring in a new GM that runs the show and puts Koetter on a leash. Honestly, I think that's what's most likely at this point. We need better drafting, personnel decisions, and defensive coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Last week he gave up 4/4 for 50 yards. It was his second best game of the season. Week one he gave up 4/6 for like 45 yards. He HAS to play closer to the LOS in the slot. Hopefully we keep him there and he continues to play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBucs15 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 While execution is partly to blame, Smith isn't on the field missing tackles or forgetting their assignment, however, Smith seems to be the typical DC that says this is my system and forces the players into his scheme. To me, those days are long gone. You need that DC that can actually evaluate a defense and see what are their strengths and make a scheme to fit those. Use Spence as a SLB and DE, Put Vernon in Man to Man because he is not a zone DB, Put both Ward and Evans out there at S as they are easily the 2 best safeties on the team.
