Our reign in the south is over. This team just sucks right now and who knows when our injured players will return. We suffer yet another injury to a starter and it happens every week. I thought BM was good, but boy was I wrong. He's terrible right now. I don't think he's 100%.
Once we get embarrassed on SNF next week there isn't a single game I can say with confidence that we win. We still have to play the Panthers twice and they have not even had their bye yet. We'll probably lose both games to them and give up our crown while we sit at home watching them in the playoffs.
Watching Buffalo shred the defense like that has happened too many times to count over the past several years. TB needs a defensive coordinator because he's not getting the job done. If a team needs a 1st down on 3rd and 16, no problem. If a team is third and 5, no problem, lets back up and give a 10 yard cushion. I'm never confident we'll get off the field no matter how much yardage a team needs. Sick of it.
The offense never puts a team away when we get ahead. They just sputter and leave it up to the defense and that rarely works in our favor. This team has no killer instinct whatsoever. Buffalo was ripe for the taking and we spoiled a great opportunity. Great job! lol
I wouldn't say that the season is over, but the excitement of the hot start is way far away in the rear view mirror. The season will end in a pool of mediocrity. The Rams will dominate and continue to expose the Bucs for what they are. 6-5. Then a 4-2 finish to end up 10-7. 5-1 start, 5-6 finish. Yep, that's about right. And then one and done playoff game at home to end it.
One other thing. If Bowles doesn't fire his ST coach this week, it's another gutless move for a HC without killer instinct.
