.... by a fanbase. Our Rookie QB played like a rookie QB, Mariotta played all-world, and Bucs fans are jumping off the skyway bridge. The Bucs coaching staff certainly deserves your outrage, as does the defense. But let the rookie be a rookie. He struggled, he threw a pick six. Hand picked Gruden boy, Brian Griese, used to throw them every week. But Mariotta's stellar performance overshadows that Winston also threw 2 TDs and should have had a third. If Brady had dropped 4 TD's on us yesterday, and Winston played like he played - people wouldn't be so down on him. It's because Mariotta was on the other side and did well, it's completely and instantly distorted your expectations. Some of you act like Mariotta is going to end the season with 50TDs and no interceptions. Defense was putrid and coaching / preparation has to be called into question. But jeezus some of you are overreacting.
