We have improved.  It takes 36 seconds now to get the automatic three against us. 

In four more years it will take over a minute.

O the toils of having a 6ft 180lb mike backer

First half was a mixed bag on offense.  That said, we have opened up the downfield passing game and it is opening things up underneath a little bit.  Allen has hit some and missed some, but I like where we are.  Coleman off the field has been a positive.  The only thing I would have done different is have Moore active instead of Samuel.  I just think he is a better player.  But they probably want to get what they can out of Samuel until he gets hurt again which could happen at any time whether it's in game or not.

 

Anyway, the offensive line has to settle down.  Some reps are fine, but there have been too many where it looks like they have no idea who to block and it's rushing Allen's decision making.  Look.....if you can't get Cook going on the ground, get him going in the passing game.  He has to get the ball.

 

As for the defense, well, they haven't done anything right.  So, whatever they did in the first half, I guess do the opposite in the 2nd half.  Just a terrible effort.

it’s a helpless feeling when your D can’t get stops 

The D has had some stops. They have been forced to punt. Would be nice to see the stops before they get close to midfield, though

Cook about to go off

[Big Turk]

TB special teams are terrible!

Tampa shredding our D with several depth players is embarrassing.

 

Meanwhile, Cook has 10 yards.

And we're on pace for 42

Weird angles for these kick returns 

[EssexBill]

On the plus side that first half was pretty horrific but we still have a lead and get the ball first, a TD now and some breathing space hopefully

Time to play ball control. Need to keep that billion dollar defense off the field or McBeane gets exposed.

Ball control isn’t gonna score points against Tampa

[dcinmuncie]

33 yards rushing in the first half

losing the turnover battle 2-0

allowed over 130 yards in the ground 

 

 

up by one at the half

 

make that make sense

[Brandon]

Tampa's kick off coverage is putrid.  

[Chaos]

take his key back

[Jalan81]

More unforced errors undisciplined is the keyword here

[boyst]

Terrible play calling to open the half. I've seen this show before. 

[Billz4ever]

Used the hard count and got someone to jump.

Problem is it was our guy.

[BuffaloBillyG]

Hysterical.

 

Bucs keep kicking away from Hardman after his big return but Davis keeps getting good ones too
