So, does anyone feel better about our 27-17 win over the Bucs?
You don't know how it would have affected the game. It is possible the game is still similar but momentum is a huge part of this game. Do the Buc's continue to play at the level they were if we turn that into a score? Or do they get deflated and give up? Does the crowd stay subdued through the first half or get energized?
One thing that bothers me is that we have been getting alot of these questionable or bad calls early in games lately and causing games to be closer early on than they maybe would have been and the end result is our team is playing uphill all game long instead of relaxing some and going into more of a running mode or a pass defense mode because of a lead. We are starting to look tired on the field add that to momentum stealing calls and the potential for collapse is there. This game is as much mental as it is physical and I am getting worried that we are getting worn down both physically and mentally due to the schedule and all the extra effort they seem to have to put in to even beat an 0-7 team in our own house. I have never been so impatient for a bye week. I think this team needs it both mentally and physically.
