Week Two: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) @ Detroit Lions (1-0)

[RandyMarsh]

Brian Branch is a freaking stud! Had 3 pass break ups last week, already has 1 this week and now gets a big pick. 

[TP_Fan]

Goff is just not seeing it.  It’s not coming out quick and he is missing. 

[TP_Fan]

All timeouts gone with 30 secs left still. Not ideal.  

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah weird usage of timeouts here especially for Campbell, normally he doesn't blow through them like this particularly the first 2. 

[Motown Bombers]

Jared Goff is basically Lamar Jackson.

Ineptitude in coaching

Coaching malfeasance by the lions today.  Campbell joins in the party with his amateur hour use of timeouts.  

[Jason_R]

Awful way to end. 

[RandyMarsh]

This is why you(and Campbell usually does) save that timeout at the end. Still though if not for terrible Special teams coaching they would've gotten atleast a FG attempt out of it. That ST coach is going to get an earful from Dan.

[Motown Bombers]

This is uncharacteristically bad coaching here. 

 

[Adullin]

What just happened 

[TP_Fan]

You needed to change up your coordinators after last season. Running back was such a mistake.

But man, those use of timeouts by Campbell were so bad.  Todd Bowles putting on a clinic.

This offense kinda sucks right now. Holy sh*t.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What a terrible half of football. Goff looked bad. The playcalling was subpar. LaPorta is a ghost. Montgomery isn't being used enough despite having a strong week last week. Arnold is getting clowned by Godwin and the Bucs receivers.

It’s no the ST coach. He was likely just following the sequence. That’s on Campbell for wasting the TO and on Goff for throwing it where he did.  Look, I know I get after coaches, but Jesus, this is other level amateur right now.

Ben Johnson is the OC. It’s to be expected.

They’re lacking an identity. They either can’t or are choosing not to rely on the offensive line and run game, and they’re not getting anything over the middle of the field. LaPorta has a goose egg.

Goff isn’t helping but this starts with coaching and preparation. It’s like they took the week off.

[TP_Fan]

These new uniforms have been a bad omen.  

[MichiganCardinal]

Whoever gave the field goal unit the go ahead needs to be relegated to coaching the water boys next week. Absolutely cost us three points, and in the NFL, you don’t do that without consequences.

They had time to spike the ball and the field goal didn’t even immediately go into fire drill. They left the sideline with six seconds left, they never would have gotten set in time.

Definitely fault Campbell for the TO sequences but the ST players running on the field is entirely on the ST coach, it is his responsibility to direct those guys, he let them run on the field when clearly the Lions were running up to spike the ball. Dan can't coach the game, direct the offense and keep tabs on the 11 special team players all at the same time. That is literally that coaches job and he screwed up. 

[RandyMarsh]

The first Campbell timeout was the most perplexing to me, it was just so unusual for him to use it after we picked up a 1st down in TB territory with over a minute left. There was obviously plenty of time left to score. Originally I thought maybe it was to give a player a breather or something but that didn't appear to be the case. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Credit to the defense. Put behind the eight-ball multiple times, only once have they blown it. And by they I’m looking directly at Amik “not a depth player” Robertson.

Lucky to be only down 7.

[Sports_Freak]

Use Montgomery!!!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Great end around fake there.
