Refs may have helped, but Seahawks DL failed today

[renofox]

Bucs OL is baaaad - injuries have them starting 2nd and 3rd stringers.

Seahawks are the first team in a while to not take advantage of that.

Gameplan didn't help - didn't see much creative blitzing.

Yeah our defensive line was a big let down today

 

[flmmkrz]

Run defense was atrocious, no pressure, fail up front for sure

 

[Jerhawk]

Awful game plan by Clint Hurtt once again

 

[nwHawk]

First game back for DT52. Skin and bones!

Holding the whole first half helped gift Tampa 14 points! NFL gave Seattle the donkey dong without the spit today.

This is not a running team. We allowed them to run more than they had done all year. This played into this loss big time. I do not think the Bucs had to punt very often.

Bucs averaged 60 yds/game rushing. They got 162 today.

Seahawks sack/hit/pressure rate was great coming into this game. Dismal today.

Four minutes left and all three time out remaining and they can't get the damn ball back. Just disgraceful.

Travelling to Munich is all about making concessions. Amiright!

Again, if the opposing OL is essentially allowed to tackle you at the LOS, there isn't much you can do. Our defense didn't play well but we didn't have much chance.

I’d put the game on the Defense 95%

The entire first half they looked lost.

The other 5% on coaching.

I think they planned on defending Brady’s arm, didn’t adjust to the run game.

Yep, not really sure what Seattle can do when the opposition is allowed to play completely outside of the rules of the game.

With that said, Seattle did have their chance and didn't execute well.

The defense (especially the DL) did not play well today.

But you do have to put a little more blame on the offense. They weren't as bad as the defense, but they were still bad today.

Seahawks sack/hit/pressure rate was great coming into this game. Dismal today.

2nd and 3rd stringers didn't get called for holding one time today.

You can call holding on every play.

That's a pretty big advantage.

They held like a tramp holds a belt loop all first half.
