SNF

Post by Orangesteel » Sat Dec 26, 2020 6:10 pm

Tampa running the offense I want the Steelers to run. Decent running game setting up chunk plays and shots downfield.

Nope, instead we get the most boring, one dimensional offense we have seen from this team in 20 years.

Edit: Gronk hauls in a beauty from Brady.

Brady dropping dimes. Has been given the keys to the Ferrari by Cousin Brucie.

Godwin with a nasty TD catch. I think Brady just put the ball way out there almost as a throw away but close enough to give the kid a shot at a diving play.

Look at that, Tampa up 27-0 and still keeping the foot on the gas. Going for it on 4th down up 27.
We will never see that from our current franchise.

Brady has 348 yards. At halftime.

I think Tampa is a very tough out in the NFC.

I vaguely remember the Steelers running a similar offense...might’ve even won a Super Bowl back then. But unfortunately, that OC decided to retire, and a new OC was brought in to control their HoF QB and put him in his place. I remember a lot of SteelerFury high five-ing over that hire. Been downhill ever since...

Personal foul was complete bullshit. maybe the refs thought Brady was still in the game.

Stink brought up an interesting point during the broadcast about Arians system being almost all based on post snap reads and Brady having come from NE which was mostly determined pre-snap by using all the motion and formations to have the defense declare early. (I am paraphrasing)

Did you see the clip of Arians presser a week or so ago?

When asked about the offense, he said something like :
"We can do whatever we want. "
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

That is just part of his bravado. McAfee talks about how he could Bruce to go for it on 4th and short when he was subbing in for Pagano. They would be at 4th and 1 and he would ask Arians on the sidelines "What? You can't get a yard?" and coach would fire back with a "You're damn right we can" and they would go for it.

We need a RB like Josh Jacob’s. Not the clown show we have now.

Ben has spent 16 years in the league and been to 3 Super Bowls to morph into Tua Tagliovialiovalaiovialoa. Brilliant.

Phins defense is nasty. Credit Flores he’s a great defensive mind.
