We are done time to tank.

Except nobody thought we would have the type of defense that can win games.
TB did well in spite of all the penalties but it sure is fun watching a good hard hitting D. We are going to steamroll people when Brees gets back.
We could steamroll people now if they cut out all those dumb penalties.
Very exciting win.

Hats off to Dennis Allen and the defense. They really pulled it together and proved us doubters wrong.

Dangit I saw title and cane. To talk smack to you. Well done.

Agree but we had all the penalties because the cowboys D line was murdering us all game. Like they have the last several years we have played them. We had some luck go our way this time.

I was thinking to myself that some of those holding penalties were made consciously because they knew TB was going to take to long and figured a hold was better than a possible Qb injury.
Kind of like when a Db draws PI to prevent a sure Td. Don’t know if it works that way on offense though.

Yes. That is exactly what I was thinking during the game. I’d even say Demario Davis’ PI call was intentional too because that cowboys WR would have been off to the races on that slant. We played them physically like they have done to us.

Good point. I hadn't looked at it that way.

Isn't it an absolute pleasure watching a game where the D is basically carrying a struggling O. Wasn't too long ago that we figured if Brees couldn't put a 30 spot on the board, the team was in real trouble.

So, two weeks in a row the D looks formidable and with the second coming of Breesus (yes you heard it here first) looking to happen after he spends 40 days wondering the sidelines....the NFL had better say their prayers.

It does in a way. Speakning from my own experience, when you play O-line you feel a great deal of responsibility for the QB and more often than not you rather take a holding penalty than letting your defender get a clear path to hit him.

While playing I did a lot of things I'm not particularly proud of just to protect the QB.

I wish I knew where Armsteads head was last night. He looked terrible. Everyone has a bad game I just hope he plays like he normally does for the rest of the year. It's a miracle Teddy didnt fumble on that blind side hit.
