IMHO, this team sucks because there is virtually no pass rush, zero. If you look at the two losses, by not having a four man pass rush, the dominoes start to fall. DB's get highly exposed, SS/FS get burnt and the LB's can't cover squat. No 3 and out's is what is killing us, 3rd down percentage for the opposing team sustains drives, eats the clock and tires the defense.The offense comes in and McCown forces the ball, makes dumb mistakes and throws three killer interceptions. Blocked punts and field goals is just inexcusable. Lovie gets conservative because he wants to keep it close, so no creativity on offense, Lovie hopes he can steal a win if McCown or someone else(Stocker not blocking) doesn't screw up and throw the ball away or get the kick blocked. The Bucs have lost two games by a total of seven points, which is remarkable with the way they have played. If the Dline can get a consistent rush, all of those dominoes that I mentioned don't fall and I think the complexion of the team changes dramatically. Thoughts?
