The NFL has been up and down this season (one week the Bucs make Mariotta look like the second coming of Joe Montana; the next week the Bucs dominate Drew Brees and the Saints, while Tennessee shits the bed agains the Browns). So I am hoping that this was a one week "down" for us.
Still, this loss screams to me that the team wasn't ready and I pin a lot of that on the coach. I just hope they get their shit together to play the Eagles.

They were ready to play. It's easy for all us arm chair QB to blame Gruden. Giants were desperate and they are a better team right now. Eli was the difference. He clearly outplayed KC and that was really the game. Eli had no turnovers and KC had two. There's your game. I didn't see any guys quitting or loafing.
The rookie that got the punt blocked maybe wasn't ready to play. Other than that I saw effort out there.
Also it's too hard for a average to below average team to go on the road and win a Thursday game. Did you really think deep down we were going to win this game? Especially without Jackson?
