You can't use that as an excuse because the Buc's came in with major injury issues and they put up 38 on us in our house...

two key players, I can very much use that as an excuse, i could also use the officials killing our drives early in the game with bs. but im not...

We've won without both of those players before, so saying we have zero chance of winning without this is insane to me...

Baker played lights out.
He took what we gave him.

A soft Zone scheme that was full of holes.
Baker is good enough to see and take advantage of those opportunities.

Although I have no actual idea, I believe MM was worried about letting the back ups play “man”.
I believe he planned what he felt gave us the best chance but it wasn’t enough.

Maybe some man, and a few blitzes would have made a difference maybe it would have been worse.

I appreciate MMs defensive mind, I certainly couldn’t do better.

I think most of us predicted early on, that the last team to have the ball would win.

Obviously it wasn’t us.

Bucs are without their two best weapons and our defenses prepared for 10 days and laid a complete egg. Grill MM press.

Kept yelling the whole with half the people in our section about the repeated crappy zone D not working at all not one bit

Weird, I'm also thinking about a delicious breakfast panini.

J/K, but I wouldn't say the D was completely bad. Despite the injuries and ineffectiveness, that skeleton crew still made enough plays to give the offense a shot at a game-winning drive.

Actually, it WAS us but Kubiak inexplicably called for a Pass play on a 2nd and 2 when we had all 3 of our timeouts remaining.

It was a great game. These things happen to all the teams. We lost to an extremely good team even without 2 stars. Baker is just that guy. It’s not like we’re the Cardinals who got beat by a disaster of a team in Tennessee. The chiefs basically laid a goose egg in the Super Bowl of all places.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. We overcame a lot on offense. A lot of questions got answered, we just came up a tad short. Someone has to. The defense had issues but it can be a learning tool going forward. We had a lot of people on defense go out. Years past we lose big in these games. We were in position to win even without how poorly the D played. We are a couple bad breaks from being 5-0. This team has some room for growth in every aspect but we are a playoff team. I hate a loss but this team is legit.

Now that's just grasping for straws here.

Had they made ANY stops earlier in the game....ANY....this game would've been won with Sam Darnold being on fire.

Fail

I'm standing by my statement. The D made multiple stops and the team had a chance to win in the 4th quarter. I don't see that as a "complete egg" by that squad (maybe 90%, though).

How dare you be a voice of reason fresh after a loss.
