Good point on calming the nerves and worries of some of the home crowd and maybe even some on the team with that 1st TD celebration. But as you can see from the previous posts on this thread, it surely didn't encompass all of the fan base. And it certainly didn't put our special teams and defense at ease.

If we wanted to make a statement with swagger and saying "we got this", I think most of us would agree the best way to accomplish that would have been: Morestead kicks from the 35 and sends it through the end zone on the kickoff for the touchback, the defense never lets TB get a yard for a 3-and-out, we get the ball back around the 35 yard line, then march down 65 yards and take a 14-0 lead in the 1st Qtr. Instead of 7-7, it's 14-0.

Going into the playoffs, any 15 yards is too valuable to shart away for something as selfish and petty as a TD celebration dance. But maybe I'm old?
