There are still some fundamental problems with the offense and defense. The defense at least has an injury excuse. The offense doesn't. Several drives in the 2nd half that could have put the game away and we just stalled out repeatedly. That stupid attempt to draw them Offside on 2nd and 1 was poor coaching. The vanilla play calling was poor coaching. The 1st and 2nd drive of the game ending with just 3 points combined was a result of poor coaching. I really think coaching is holding the offense back more than the players.
I know people hate watching this kind of defense but it's 100% the right choice. Make them work for it, nothing easy downfield. The clock keeps winding down.
I don't blame McDermott for punting, it's obviously the right choice. I blame Dorsey for vanilla play calling on several consecutive drives. We've had a few chances to put the game away and we just aren't moving the ball forward enough.
Smart game management.
Not a big fan of our play calls on the past few drives. Still too many horizontal passes to Diggs and Davis, that is not playing to our strengths.
The kill shot?? We're up 14 and the Bucs offense has done nothing this half! Why does everybody automatically default to aggressive decisions no matter what the game situation? It blows my mind.
