Wade Phillips Calling the Defensive Plays, Was that the Difference?

[Kilyin]

I think it was. We held a high powered Bucs offense to zero touchdowns...

Stewart is frickin' clueless. Please fire this guy, and don't look back.

Sure some of it was the players being fired up, but what a dramatic difference... you can't just brush that under the rug. Stewart sucks.

Read all the articles you want, but today is the first time I've EVER seen Phillips with a playsheet in his hand. Coincidence? Maybe, but I don't think so.

I don't think Wade was calling ALL of the defensive scemes, but I deffiently think he had a say in what happened today.

What the hell is with our DB's playing 10-15yds of the line??????????

Our defense won the game.

Let the Chicken littles figure out who is to blame for that.....

We were much more aggressive on third downs today, have to give Wade credit regardless.

This wasn't the defense we saw against the Rams or even Arizona. This was a defense that wins championships (Tampa Bay is still one of the top rated offenses in the league, with nobody at tailback)

Wade didn't call anything different than Stewart would, the only difference was that the defense executed today.

I gotta disagree, I used to be of the thinking that coaching wasn't so important, but I've since changed my mind. We're in for a defensive chess match next week. Good ole Wade vs. Steve Spagnuolo. If the players do what Wade tells them, I smell turnovers and lots of them.

Book it.

For all of you people calling for Wade's head you can't have it both ways. Tha man called the plays today. The defense played good. If he gets the blame when they play bad he should get credit when they play good. especially if you know he called the plays.
