This offense physically pains me.
The Buccaneers are currently ahead by 2, and I can honestly and confidently say they are playing worse than the Falcons. Stats can truly be misleading as it might suggest the defense for the Bucs is also playing well to hold the Falcons to ten points. Well, they haven’t outside two plays. All they have to do is stand around and Ridder will either find a wide open receiver or drop the football at his feet.
The Falcons are missing four starting linemen, and yet it seems like they have the 2020 Bucs o-line. This team has been getting absolutely no pressure. And because of that, Desmond Ridder looks like a competent QB. I’m going to break this gently. He fucking ain’t. This defense is leaving receivers wide open on pretty much every single play. How is it that these corners can still not play zone coverage to save their lives?
But the star of this horrendous shitshow is the offense. I gave some credit to Dave Canales before. Well, that has been thrown out the fucking window. If I ever see any team pitch it backwards on 3rd or 4th and short, my head will actually explode. I am currently headless because of Canales. Not only did he pitch it backwards on short yardage, he erected a neon sign for the Falcons defense to know which side the Bucs were going to run it. Chris Godwin has one catch. Mike Evans has one target. He needs to figure his shit out.
I can’t believe I am writing this, but if the Falcons had current Matt Ryan, they would probably be winning. This game is not so much the Bucs have done anything to win it. It is more the Falcons don’t want to win. A real QB would be dicing this defense up and would probably have another perfect passer rating. Maybe they’ll shape up. But probably not.
