TAMPA, Fla. -- When Bruce Arians was hired as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he brought with him a coaching staff that had won together before. But three quarters into the season, his experienced coaches are still making mistakes as if it’s Week 1.
Those issues bubbled up again in last Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs didn't make effective adjustments to what they were seeing from the Saints' defense, there was questionable playcalling on offense and there was confusion on some assignments -- all of which have been reoccurring themes all year.
