Is it just me or does the football in the Bucs game look black instead of brown?

Bears, down 14 and not getting the ball after half, punt on 4th and 2 from midfield. Why even show up at all?

Just wait until PFF grades that Brady pick as a positive play vs Mac Jones making the wrong read and throwing the ball out of bounds.
Otoh, Burrow's INT was the exact kind of play PFF tries to correct for: perfectly thrown ball to an open Chase that should've been a 71-yard TD.

Offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich makes the playcalls. Question is is there time for the head coach to veto a call? Using a timeout, sure, but vetoes don't happen often, I think.
If Arians wants them to kneel it out, he has plenty of time to order it before the drive begins.

I'd love to hear that conversation between Ariens, Leftwich and Brady when they decide to try to get a field goal with 30 seconds left and only 2 timeouts from their own 2. How does Brady not just say fuck off and kneel it?

Yeah, Brady isn't running any play he doesn't want to run

See, my thought was that Brady probably pushed for going for it there. He's no longer shackled by Bill's shot calling and can let it fly if he wants.

That reminded me of the, what was it, 2nd quarter touchdown against the Seahawks in SB49?

What is Steratore talking about, they routinely award a first without re-measurement on reviews of failed fourth downs that end in an overturn.
