we ultimately got bailed out by the refs

The officiating was poor all day. They missed and blew calls on both sides, but it was definitely advantage Tampa today.

Nice for the calls to go Tampa’s way for once.

You could see on several plays in that game why there is a problem with Tykee Smith.  He's not playing safety, he's playing something like freelancing LBer

The new Devin White

Happy to get the win but that last drive the panthers scored on annoyed the hell out of me. Happens like that way too often.

That is some sloppy football. 

 

Yes I know the conditions were rough, but the offense did nothing after the 1st quarter

 

 

did you see the rushing stats? Their rush offense do nothing all game.

pass defense didn’t do much besides that second to last drive that resulted in a td.

kudos to the defense sans that awful long catch allowed by smith.

weather certainly played a big factor as well.

we didnt get bailed out by the refs lol

 

Say whatever about the defense but un this game they held the Panthers to less than 20 yards rushing, made them 1 dimensional.  Created 3 turnovers?

yeah defense played well. Gave up 14 points which included a baker short field brain dead throw gifted 7 points 

sucks we can’t rely on the defense because let’s face it, we were all worried with 20 seconds to go

If the Bucs had better ST and 2 minute situational clock management this team would easily be over .500.  Defense and offense have their own issues but ST and clock mismanagement are too big to ignore.

I mean if baker had just 1 throw back the last 3 games, we are likely sitting at 11-6

That is a fair point but the defense had their mis steps too. But I think special teams and clock mismanagement was an issue even during the winning streak of 6-2.

Let's be honest. It's been a collective effort of suckage this year. Not a consistent team and I always point that to the leaders of the team. Preparation goes back to the leaders of the team. Yea we had injuries but we won a ton of games with injuries too. All you had to do was win 1 more game and were definitely in. 7 other tries to do that and the closest we get is now down to the falcons and whether they give a shit or not tomorrow. For it to get to this place is a joke. I'm happy we win today but wow has it been a journey..

We probably have 3 more wins if we fixed our special teams by firing our shit coordinator to send a message.

But instead he is still employed and still shitting the bed

People just can’t give Bowles credit for winning a big game, led by the defense. Adam Slivon’s article was bullshit

Yeah that 6-2 should have been 8-0 but like you said if your aunt had wheels she should be a race car.
