IF the HC for Tampa had put Fitzpatrick in sooner, the Bucs probably would have won.

I'm sticking with 7-9 no playoffs.

Don't agree. If you think this team has only 2 more victories in them, You haven't really been watching? We have struggles. Every team does. Once we get some guys back, we will start getting things rolling. We were rolling today pretty well, but we imploded enough to barely win. That stinks for sure. But we won and hopefully the teams builds on it. I respect your right to be negative, but I seriously think your calling the fate of this team to soon.

Imagine this....being chased by a man with a knife... And since you happen to be faster, you have like a 20-yard head start on the guy with a knife...Now since your gap is so comfortable, do you supposed to stop running?

Marvin Lewis is the type of giggling bastard that will stop to rest, or take baby steps because of the 20-yard gap and get his head sliced off because of being complacent.

There's some of the problem. Bucks were shanking our guys.  

I want the NFL to review this.

Yes it is. No clue why he does this? I wont say he does it on purpose. He does it with a trust that the offense is not going to go 3 & out.

Good post. Yes we do. We sucked a serious straw today when it came to the 3 & outs. Defense paid the price for having to run back out on the field consecutively. Not saying that was their demise, but it didn't help us at all. If anything, it just made for a tired D trying to stop an offense.
