Thankfully we got it back, but combining that with 2 missed FG's and a pretty lousy punt from Morstead that gave them good field position on their FG drive and I'd have to say that overall the ST unit was subpar yesterday. They weren't the reason we won the game, in fact their failures contributed heavily to the score staying close for as long as it did.

Yes I did say that.

Do you also remember me commenting in hopes their defense would wear down in the second half? It was 12-10 at the half and our Offense wasnt lighting anything up... 12 points in the first half, 5 of the 12 was Special Teams... (Safety and a field goal).

I am not trying to beat up on Teddy but perspective is needed. How do you feel about TB first half completion % vs Trubisky's?

TB 14-24
Trubisky 13-23

Nothing was interesting about our offense in the first half, even Murry who had a good game was 9-30.
