One of the problems was the offensive play calling got really conservative in the 4th quarter. I didn't like that at all.

and we let him run wide open on a bunch of his catches. He was their only receiving threat, so what the heck were we thinking?

2 TD lead, and I think we all wanted them to start running it. TB is stout against the run. I guess they could have kept passing but we would all be up in arms about that.

That third down quick snap toss to Sproles was dumb. First down and game is over. Could have called a ton of better plays than that.

We've been having clean pockets all game. I'm not sure why you don't go a play action pass their or put Lance in motion and hit him on a out route or something.

I'm tired of the offense letting up.

It seemed like the D was on the field the whole second half.

Play to your freaking strengths dammit.

I don't think this D even knows what the corner looks like. They still look like they're standing around on the sidewalk watching the cars go by.

Yeah they had the ball 8 more minutes than us, we lost that TOP stat yet again. Less yards, less time of possession, more turnovers, statistically we keep getting outgunned this season.

Didn't we allow 500 yds of offense? I'd say no

Have we had a 'goal line stand' like today in recent memory? 4 downs inside the 5 and held? i was impressed, were you not?

For 3 straight games now this defense has allowed 7 points in each second half. I'll take that.

Definitely THIS! I wonder if Vitt makes any difference in this area?
Nice post O Rly...this is for you

The D has been very good in the second half since the KC game (and even in the KC game they only allowed 27 points while our offense shite the bed)

The one thing I can say is that the past 3 games they have made half time and in game adjustments, which are actually working. Now we have to figure out how to start games better on defense, we aren't preparing well enough in the week leading up to the game apparently.

Tampa had the ball for almost 21 mins in the second half. Seems like they had it forever. I think the play calling got really conservative too. That didn't hep. We need to go for the dagger when we get up 14.

If people can't see that we've definitely been better over the last 2-3 weeks they're just being nega-saints douches.

goal line stand against a great running team when previously allowing 200 yards a game. if it wasn't for that absolute bullshite penalty on harper would have held them to 21.

If it wasn't for that absolute bullshite "call stands" on Harper's interception they wouldn't have scored on that drive either.

Doesn't matter, the fewest points they've given up all year is 24 points. That puts entirely too much pressure on the O.
