We coulda used Ceedy ...

I just really hate Jabo ended up throwing those interceptions. I could see his body language after the first one. He knew what was coming. He knew all he was gonna hear was 30 for 30 and it got out of hand. I just feel really bad for him. I’m avoiding ESPN and sports shows because I know they’re gonna drill him and the Saints all week. It’s unfortunate. We shot ourselves in the foot with the fumble. That was likely a TD drive. The refs always **** is. That’s to be expected. I hope we can bounce back this week.

The air came out of the dome on that fumble. The crowd was as loud as it has been in a couple of years. It was a collective "here we go again", when Ingram coughed that one up. The whole atmosphere changed after that.

This is exactly how I feel. Losing the game isn’t what’s causing this pain in my stomach. It’s getting into a dog fight on the field, then losing the game. It’s hearing Mike Evans talk S$$$ in the locker room interview. I watched one minute of ESPN after the game and hearing them talk S$$$ was enough.
I just hope we don’t turn our backs on Jameis so quickly.

Not even the great Michael Thomas (prima donna) could pull this one out. Turning point for the game for the Bucs was this Saints team taking the field at kickoff.

Home Field advantage too.... LMFAO

Thomas has 122 yards and 3 TD's in two games. He's the least of the Saints problems. But I know what you're saying.

Post Mortem Monday takeaways:

The Downers
1) Ingram is now a liability. That makes 2 RZ fumbles lost in as many weeks. He would be benched on any team if he wasn't a Vet RB.
2) Passes were force fed to Olave for some reason. His 13 targets (ignore that fumble lost) was just one shy of Landry and Thomas's targets combined! Were they not getting open?
3) Offensive play calling. Got away from the running game when they were being gashed by our RB's and got pass happy for no good reason. We paid dearly for it. Most (not all) on JW.
4) Teams now know they can goad Lattimore into stupid ish with very little effort. Although Fournette should've been ejected for throwing that first shot, it's rarely the guy who starts it who gets flagged. He needs to get his feelings in check and focus on winning the game and not the fight!
5) Ghost penalties to sustain a scoring drive? We're no stranger to the GOAT getting coddled, but that turned my stomach.

The Uppers
1) That Defense looks rock solid. They had TB12 talking to himself on the sidelines for most of the game and that's always a good thing. Especially thrilled to see their RB's struggle on 3rd down after last week.
2) I don't even worry about FG's when Lutz is out there. Missed having him as a scoring option in the arsenal.
3) The O line pretty much stuffed Vita Vea for most of the game. I'll get some that disagree with me, but for a few breakdowns in scheme, JW had a pocket that he could have used if he stepped up quicker and got rid of the ball.
4) The Deep Ball is an option we haven't had in a while.
5) Lastly, it's only Week 2 and the problems I see can be fixed with coaching. No need to stand on the ledge.... yet.

Boston Saint

Bad Throws, bad calls, and fumbles besides; the refs were never gonna let the Saints win this game. This was a big of a screw job as the NFCCG pass interference no call. How does Lattimore get Taunted by Brady, hit by Fournette, blindsided by Thomas (edit Evans) (with a running start) and the result is offsetting penalties/ejections? How the hell do they give Tampa a first down after stopped on 4th and short? I can take watching the Saints lose a game where they play poorly and the other team beats them. I can’t take watching a game where both teams are struggling and the refs toss one team a lifeline and the other team an anchor. Complete and udder BS from a fixed league kissing Brady’s butt.

Give more reps to Washington & TJJ this week. They both looked good running.

Vet or no vet, "good punch out or not", you simply cannot FUMBLE the ball MI. He took points off the board. At worst, we were going up by 3 while Brady was having a hissy fit with his tablet.

That was a HUGE momentum swing. Huge.

Hopefully we get AK back this week vs Carolina.
