Ya'll need to calm down and relax. Yes, that game stunk. What a nightmare. The defense looked turrible.

But the freaking HEAD COACH went out with a BROKEN LEG, mere moments after walking onto the field, what do you expect is going to happen on a day like that? Everything prior to Payton getting hit, the team looked exactly like it should look. Defense had stopped 'em. Offense was moving. Immediately after it happened, the fumbles started, the interceptions, the team clearly was rattled and quickly turned into garbage. And Tampa Bay to their credit, they capitalized on seeing that we were basically decapitated as far as coaching is concerned.

YES they are professionals and YES they should have been able to overcome it, but come on, man.... The head coach had a freaking broken kneecap. The master of offense is in the locker room watching it on TV instead of calling plays. That whole game was a freakshow.

What happens if hypothetically, you are a small young knight, and you are facing a big giant knight in combat, the biggest and most fearsome knight in all the kingdom, and you must face him in dreaded single combat. You grab your sword, and just as the fight begins, the big knight rides at you on his horse, and his head suddenly gets lopped off by a tree branch hanging down? The fight has just begun, he already has a concussion, his helmet is twisted around on his head and he cannot see you, he can't see anything, he's just stumbling around. That fearsome warrior knight is not going to be a fearsome scary knight any longer! The young small upstart knight is going to win that battle, every time. And that's exactly what happened yesterday, folks. Other than the defense stinks, I'm not losing much sleep over it.

Face it. This game was an aberration. It's one of those "one in a million" type freakazoid things. There's nothing to be done but regroup, and get the Bucs back here at home in a few weeks and handle them then. Raheem Morris has finally beaten Sean Payton, in a game with starters when it counts, but there is an asterix next to it.
