BUT...this game shows what every reasonable person knows...the problem is COACHING. The Bucs figured Troy out...and we got fvcked. It is what it is. I dont blame Troy. He tried and did what he could. Game planning and play calling sucks.
Troy WAS NOT figured out. The worst rush defense in the NFL held Gore to 23 yds on 12 carries!
Are you kidding? The Bucs had 8 sacks all year and they got 6 sacks today. They contained Troy in the pocket and when he rolled out he got sacked a couple times as well.
Sorry to disappoint.
23 yards...23 yards...against the worst run defense in the NFL. That's all I have to say.
seven-man fronts all day, playing against a zone secondary -- nobody was open so he had to scramble
23 yards against the worst run defense playing a seven-man front...unbelievable!
Dude cmon..I'm so sick of this double standard. I'm not even blaming Troy Smith...all I'm saying is he IS NOT who we thought he was. At the end of the day he has 2 wins to Alex's 1 win...so I'm not trying to start a "Smith vs Smith" thing or bash Troy.
My point is...it doesn't matter who the QB is...our lack of making adjustments and planning is what kills this team every week. We get outcoached 90% of the time. And I think we can all agree, Troy's last two games had a LITTLE bit of luck. It's not to bash the guy...just saying it like it is.
I still think Troy should start vs the Cards but honestly..we HAVE to do a better job planning. Ridiculous to get shut out at home for the first time in 33 years with the talent we have. Did VD even get the ball today?
