Bucs benching their starters with like 7 minutes to go

Mook80 : 11/23/2021 9:03 am
Perhaps I'm just not remembering this happening before, but I cant remember the last time I saw a team basically play the 2nd string on offense and defense with 7 minutes left in a 20 point game.

That should embarrass John Mara more than anything. The Bucs would have won that game by 50 if not for their own errors and simply calling off the dogs.
we punted with like 5 minutes to go..

that was a wave of the white flag. Judge has no marbles.

The Giants are “competitive” remember? And i really hope Mara doesn’t applaud Judge not losing the locker room.
I felt like we were damn lucky to only be down

7 at the half. TB left a lot of points on the field, and our TD was really dumb luck, as Evans forgot how to catch a ball. This was an ass whooping, plain and simple, and not even as close as the final score. An utter embarrassment that should shake the organization.

There are players, like Golladay, who have checked out.
They could have benched them at halftime

The Giants weren't going to score.
This was why Bruce Arians was so pissed when that

ball that bounced off Evans. He knows his team could win this game by just lining up each drive and not doing anything out of the ordinary. Same thing happened in the Rams and Dallas games.

The good competition in the NFL is kind of just going thru the motions with the Giants.

sad...
The Giants

got lucky with a stupid bounce off Evans equipment (largely because he was lazy with his hands) inside the Bucs 20 to even get a TD.

Bucs took it easy on offense after mid 3rd quarter.

Pathetic, but we're used to it

Can Mara sing Fly Eagles Fly because that's what'll be playing at Met Life on Sunday. I can't wait until January 10th so this is over and we can enjoy the BS from the reporters in the off season. If anyone on this site says something about the Giants being "scary" they need to be suspended if not banned. Well, at least the Giants will be the talk of the draft.

This is a poor reflection of his 'we are going to put a product on the field that the fans want to see'. Its just a different take on the playing heavy handed football. tiresome and impossible to watch. my Sundays are now free.

IMO Judge is just following orders from above. That's why they brought him in. He has no resume and cannot make demands. He's a good solder fro DG and Mara.

They don't want to showcase the shit show of talent they have on national TV anymore than they absolutely have to. But Jones and crew did it anyway. They were hoping for a close game loss/moral victory like last season's game. This is a win according to the organization. This is all we have to root for.

Pathetic, but not all Judge's fault.
I wouldn’t call it benching,  
Simms11 : 11/23/2021 10:12 am : link
I’d call it resting their starters! Benching has a negative connotation to it!

I despise this signing even more than the Leonard Williams fiasco. At least I've seen Williams try.

i had the bucs under 30.5 points. sometimes you're just lucky. any other team forces brady to at leas score 3 more. haha
What is the point of the thread?  
EricJ : 11/24/2021 6:30 am : link
to say that John Mara was not embarrassed about his team until the 7 minute mark of the last game?

I am sure John has been embarrassed for the past 5 years. The problem is he thinks that HE is part of the solution to fix it.
It does seem to be a thing with this management

That ugly performances on national TV sting a bit more than run of the mill Sunday losses

WR FAs are usually a total waste of cap money. Guys like him at e aroma a dozen these days in the draft.
