TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Quote Now that the Bucs’ 2022 season has come to a close following Tampa Bay’s 31-14 loss to Dallas in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, Pewter Report is reporting that the team is expected to fire offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. This move has been anticipated by Pewter Report for some time. The Bucs offense generated 386 yards against Dallas, but only ran the ball for 52 yards as Tampa Bay fell behind early and trailed 18-0 at halftime. More importantly, the Bucs offense produced only 14 points after trailing Dallas, 24-0 in the third quarter. Tampa Bay won the NFC South despite averaging just 18.4 points per game in the regular season, which was the lowest in the division. Todd Bowles, who will return as the Bucs’ head coach in 2023, inherited Bruce Arians’ coaching staff when he stepped down on March 30 and named Tampa Bay’s defensive coordinator as his replacement. Now, Bowles will have the chance to make a change at play-caller after the Bucs’ offense ranked 25th in the NFL in scoring this year. https://www.pewterreport.com/leftwich-expected-to-be-fired-by-bucs/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably both are just lackluster. They can't run the ball, and maybe that's just the players which falls on the acquisition of talent/i.e. Bowles. And I know Brady has graded at worst decent by most metrics out there, but the eye-test shows that he's just had zero chemistry with his receivers all season long. He's certainly not good enough to carry a pack of scrubs anymore. And it's not like the Bucs have scrubs as pass-catchers.

Xmad Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Offensive line issues, surprise coaching change, (Arians doing that in march?) losses in the offseason, o-line injuries torpedoed the team. Not Brady's fault by any means when you have literally nothing from the running game it's all him. Brady can't carry a team anymore, but he can win with the right one.

If they want a scapegoat they could just blame Brady. Leftwich just really sucked. I'm sure Arians was the man behind the scenes on offense before this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Leftwich went from being viewed as a shoe in to get a head coaching job to getting fired in a year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingram Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Leftwich was an awful OC. The play-calling was predictable as hell and soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
