Stuck between a Buc and a Seahawk (5-3)


Well... Ugh.  

Sums it up

I'm not gonna sugar coat it, we got handled. The Bucs owned us in time of possession, 37-23 minutes.  Their no name RB had almost 30 carries at almost 5 yards per carry. They had over 400 yards and most important made plays all game. I was AT THE GAME and trust me, the crowd stayed into it, always sensing a comeback. After APs dope long the (about time!:) for  a TD we were within 13 with plenty of time to go in the 3rd. We forced a couple short gains, had a big skirmish with off setting penalties and a bloody Jared Allen, then Jared channeled all that anger and frustration and beat three bucks for a sack. We got the ball back with momentum and went three and out, because of a bad snap on third down. WTF? 

To TBs credit they got the ball back and marched  85 yards and chewed up like 8 minutes then scored a TD. That effectively killed our comeback.  It sounds cliche but they came to play and we didn't. This was one of the most lopsided games in a year or so.  At least we finally got to see this...


My boys were all getting on FRAZIER and the O COORDINATOR about play calling. It is odd that we can have the leading rusher in the entire league, and a receiver in the top five, yet have so many three and outs.  Even Kluwe played bad!

Are LGBT advocates stealing KLUWEs focus?

Idk the solution I do know that other teams are taking away Rudolph, spying Harvin and stacking the line with run blitzes and it kept us  out of a groove. Why has Joe Webb not got one snap either? (As a deep threat or bubble screen or reverse etc)  

This leads to my new poll. (in side bar) 
Who do you blame for the recent slump in offense?

Lets forget that TB game already, they seem to own us.  
At least it was a week ago already. We fought but we just couldn't stop them. 


The state of the franchise. Time to fight back

So.... Ten days to prepare for this road game against the Seahawks with their sick secondary and Mr Marshawn Lynch. What are we gonna do scheme-wise?  Which O Line is gonna show up? Is Rudolph or Simpson gonna have an impact?  I don't make predictions, I just have hopes. Every game has been puzzling, even our victories! Offense, defense, special teams... You never know who's gonna show up.  Rarely all three do.

Make no mistake, this SEAHAWKS game is huge for us. A "statement" game.  I am looking forward to seeing what these players are made of.  Also I hope I am pleasantly surprised by our coaches and their schemes.  Let's see some wrinkles!  Even so, if they give AP 30 carries and target Harvin 20 times I won't be mad. They make the plays, not the coordinators.
