Pardon My Take
Chris Long Talking Divisional Round, Adam Schefter On Coaching Carousel, Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest

Having a dominant backer in the middle of the field, like imagine if you have like, I'm not comparing Anzalone, but to illustrate the importance of the position, Fred Warner changes the entire game. Right. And I think for the Bills, when we get to that game, one thing we'll talk about is they were down three backers in that first game.

So it matters, not just having the green dot, but having good players in the middle field.

It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. It didn't work. I don't know why Todd Bowles did a lot of things he did down the stretch. I was really disappointed in that Bucs team. You know when you pick a team to win the division, you kind of get married to them and you fall in love with them and you justify all their mistakes and

You're like, well, that wasn't that bad with what they did in Dallas with the season on the line. Like, they're better than that. But in the biggest game, they kind of pissed down their leg with procedural stuff. And the point I want to make is the Commanders, they've won a lot of close games this year, including that game. I mean, when they beat Chicago, Stevenson was being an idiot.

When they beat Atlanta... There was bad clock management by Raheem Morris. And then last week, the Bucs, with the third and inches, with the jet sweep that they drop on the ground, there's a lot of teams that have been fucking it up, not taking anything away from the commanders in close games. Detroit doesn't do that. They're as well coached on both sides of the ball as any team in the league.

Dude, I think it's twofold. Like, number one, the schematic part of it, which is like the plays they're calling on fourth down are working. Even when they don't execute it, the plays were there last year in those big moments against San Francisco. It's like Shane Steichen last year with the division on the line giving the ball to Gardner Minshew and throwing the ball in the flat. Right.

And everybody second guesses the call, but it's the execution of the call. So the right calls are being made. And I think also you listen to his players. After that game, their faith in his way of doing things was unwavering. And so like that's a big part of it.
