Difference is Joe Torre has an all star, all pro team, while Grduen has 12 first year starters over the past 20 games. Was missing the luxury of having 6 #1 and 3#2 draft picks., and had zilch to spend without imploding the team and starting over. Torre has the pick of the litter every year. If Gruden had that each and every season I would be the first to fire him.
I don't think its fair for people t0 criticize those who are putting at least some of the blame on Gruden. He is the HC and OC. I live in north jersey 10 miles from NYC. This is Yankee country. You should see the papers since saturday night. Some want to drag Joe Torre through the streets and stone him. Did he play in the game? Did he swing a bat? Did he pitch the ball? No no and no. Its called accountability. We're 0-4 and people are pissed. Pissed at the players, the zebras and the coaches. That doesn't meen you are not a true fan. In my opinion you do not fire Gruden. But Gruden should begin now to work in some younger players on D and see what they have. This season is over. Let's take advantage of this oportunity to rebuild now...not next season. Offense looked great. Too bad if you minus out Joey the game most likely wouldn't have been as close as it was. That's another thing we need to work on. Joey won't last forever, maybe not even till 2007...
The team is certainly out of sorts at the moment. There appears to be little to be done by most fans as they turn to eat their own. Few see any bright side to this season and more than a few are exchanging comments about each other with no real thougt.Everyone had hopes the D could keep it together for one more year. Frankly, if the D line was half way satisfactory they likely would be able to reach that point. But just like the offense being unable to produce without better line play the D is in the same situation. How did it happen, well the O was so short of talent it was incredible, so they got the attention. But the killing loss of draft choices for players and a HC has reared its head and will likely continue to be an issue for a couple more years. The Cap constraints were killers of the FA market. And now just when it looked like the team could get through one more year injuries abound, and the Dline is an issue. So shoot the coach, hang the gm, and insult every player you can find. That will help. Oh, I forgot, you're just venting.So go ahead and keep wishing away the past. Bucs are 0-4, with two heartbreakers. Jump off the bandwagon when the feeling hits you.
Take away that TD from Deuce and the bucs probaly would have won.
You're kidding right?
