Flag On The Post: Week 1 Postgame Edition
Some have already jumped off the ship. Or rather, some never expected anything to begin with.
Either way, it’s kinda funny.
“The Office” + The BUCS = Perfection…no matter the situation.
The two most talked about individuals after Week 1.
One of them hdd a terrible 1st half.
The other had a bad game by his standards.
The reactions to both are vastly different.
You had to know it was coming.
This bitter subset of BUCS stalkers have been waiting for 6 months for a QB in Tampa to have a bad game.
The fact that a QB had the same kind of bad game as the former starting QB in Tampa was just the thing they needed to feel validated.
All the while, the idol they follow mostly due to his stats, was standing on the sideline playing Flappy Bird on his Microsoft Surface tablet.
……………………..
I was 18.
Spending my first year away from home in college.
In Mendota Heights, MN.
Listening to Juvenile’s “400 Degrees” in 45 degree weather for the first time.
Somebody, somewhere is thinking this for real.
And they’re probably old enough to vote.
Scary as hell…ain’t it?!
You have to laugh. You most certainly can’t get upset about it.
People have wanted to see the downfall of these guys FOREVER.
Every chance they look less than invincible, it’s gonna draw attention.
For better or worse.
Another parallel many will try to make all season long: Arians VS Belichick
Just who really is a “QB Whisperer” ??
Different coaching styles emote different responses.
Let’s see how Brady handles what seems like open and constructive criticism. And how much does Arians, who’s had a tendency to coddle his QBs, pull back from openly critiquing his latest “pupil”.
Genius.
It’s the “same old Bucs” trauma. If you’ve been a BUCS fan for a while, you’ve probably seen this many times.
The same old BUCS find creative ways to lose games.
The same old BUCS throw away opportunities.
The same old BUCS can’t get out of their own way.
We saw all three pop up in Week 1. However, it still feels so completely different.
Like, that was worst-case-scenario -and- it’s- unlikely- we’ll -see- that- often- if -at- all different.
At least, not all in the same game.
Serious business.
Context: The killer of narratives.
There’s usually a bright side if you’re looking for one.
Word.
There’s a long road ahead.
Arians' said “You’re not winning the Super Bowl this week..” and no one has.
Many of the mistakes can be corrected.
Some were just inexcusable.
Address them all and raise the bar going forward.
Hmmmmm……Interesting.
