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.

And I liken it to like if you have a dad who walks around beating guys up and like if he turns down a fight, you're like, Dad, wait, that's not who you are. Right. I feel like every time Dan stares.
