Bernard had a good angle on the 3rd down - went high.  Bad technique there.

 

I'm ready for some new linebackers next year, not small soft players

Milano and Bernard are both a huge problem

Hard to tell when you also play half retired players like Poyer and Phillips.  The why do we suck question I think has many answers.

Wife just showed me a headline. Apparently there was a Tampa fan arrested before the game “armed threat.”

I've been banging the analysis stuff that shows we should win this, and next week, but holy shnikies does the eye test say something else 

 

A miracle return got us on the board, but everything looks like a struggle with this team.  I don't get why harriston isn't playing either.

Missed tackles. Untimely penalties. Lack of gap integrity. LITERALLY THE SAME 💩 EVERY GAME.

every single time

Bucs have like 3 receivers out. Why the hell are we terrified to play man coverage and call a blitz??

We are only halfway through the Jeff Fisher timeline

Has Hairston had a snap?

Two ints in two games so we sit him

Why can’t we run plays like that with Allen? 

Because other teams defenses are better coached.

Its not in Joe Brady's Pop Warner offensive handbook.

It is, but Joe can't read too good.

We are going nowhere with McDermott. He's calling the defense, playing whatever personnel he wants, and we blow. This team very well could miss the Playoffs. I hope McDermott and Beane are gone when it's all said and done.

Ogunjobi missing a sack on 2nd, Bernard missing a tackle on 3rd

Overall, the Bucs are a better team. Defense isn’t even close.

And they have far more injuries than we do…

[Blank Stare]

I’m over the light in the ass players on defense. Get me some LBs with some size. I’d kill for Edmunds back about now (and he wasn’t even that good). 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Seriously short talent on this team. Hmmm wonder who's responsible for that?

[SC STATE NUPE]

Tampa controlled the clock a good bit on that drive. The clock control of opponents is what has me more worried going forward than anything. Especially when we don’t have a fast efficient offense ourselves…

[Bray Wyatt]

Our line backers are trash

Not that I've seen

Did he miss a meeting as well?

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am not buying that Bernard is injured. Missed tackles, no awareness in zone coverage. He needs to be just average, not below average.
