The Widows' Walk

Holy Jesus God.

No offense to anyone, just... SHEESH.

Not only did this game totally byte, but MAN... that freaking field goal attempt was just about the worst thing that could have happened.  Not only did kicker-boy MISS A FREAKING EASY FIELD GOAL, but he gave Himself (a.k.a. Travlin Bucs Fan) a lovely rock off of which to jump.

We missed it, and we lost.  Gruden should have been more ballsy, and gone for the TD.

Had we made it (the field goal), we would have likely gone into overtime.  Which would have been Gruden's fault, especially if we again lost.

Had we tried for a TD and missed it?  Gruden should have gone for the "sure" field goal.

Had we made the TD?  Gruden would be The Greatest Coach EVER.

Oy, my aching head.

  Hmmm... funny.  Back when the Bucs won the Stupor Bowl, it seemed to me that Chucky was the End all, Be all of coaches.  Then again, compared to Dungy, aka Killer of My Sex Life, that rating wasn't far off.
  
  Which AGAIN brings me to my point.  Jon isn't terrible.  I'll go with you on the "he screwed up on this game" aspect, but he isn't the sole reason we lost.  OFFICIATING ring a bell, dearheart?
  
  Just sayin'.

  Not even close.
  
  Gruden has NEVER been IMO, the "Greatest Coach Ever."  He's a stubborn ass.
  
  Had he gone for the TD on 4th and 2 when in the Bears Red Zone, he woulda continued as a "Coach with some balls."  Now, he's just another "also-ran."
  
  As I said on *my* blog .. I do not understand the Michey-Mouse play calling from a Coach that "apparently" had a pair.
