We had a complete breakdown on the field.......and off the field if you count Payton. I'm sorry that was in bad taste......

Well, we have a problem. O might have had a bad day, happens. But D also, VS the Bucs ? We do this vs Greenbay they will kick our butts, that simple.

Tampa is NOT better then us. I will agree the 4 turnovers killed us, but that last pass play that the refs called a complete pass put the nail in the coffin. If you watch the play you would see the ball hit the ground.

I've never seen that stat before. I'm not doubting you FV, but that game SHOULD have been won today, period. A stat like that is not a good excuse for what we saw on the field today, and it does mot make me feel better.

I'm not ready to hit the panic button yet. If that makes me delusional or in denial, then so be it. I think we just had an off day. We need to expect that every once in a while. Given the way our defense has been playing all year, it was bound to happen sooner or later. And why is our D so afraid to tackle? I was also really disappointed in our O-Line. Where's the pass protection? We have a long way to go, and a lot of stuff to work on. I'm still holding on to hope we can finish the season 14-2 if we get our poop in a group and start playing like the team we all know we are.

We need to stop playing from behind and trying to win on a lst minute drive. We need to step on th egas and keep going. The run waqs not wroking today so it should have been an Airshow except our O-Line took the day off.

I'll tell you what I think. Yes drew had three ints. Plus let's throw in a fumble. But it's our d. They just plain sux, y'all can bash me all y'all want. No pressure, can't stop anyone. That's why we have to put up 30 or more points a game. Giving up way to may big plays. Our d is no better than last yr.
Oh our o line, can't open a hole for sh*t either.
I think it finally caught up to us.

I am looking on the bright side. Chris Ivory will be back. IT WILL BE INTERESTING WHO WILL BE DEACTIVATED

See other thread when we went through the schedule and said we'd destroy everyone...

If we'd had Jacksonville last, maybe...

But these younger teams in Carolina and Tampa Bay have an upstart attitude and know they can play with the Saints while the rest of the league says "Oh Schiott! How are we gonna cover all these guys and now they have Sproiles and the Beast - Graham!"

My Question "Where is the boost from the first round picks and where was management when we needed to sign FA linebackers and offensive lineman?"

Hard for one of our first round picks to start "boosting" without said offensive linemen...
