Agreed. JC wasn't given the chance to get the team in the end zone twice against the rams, even though he'd moved the team down the field to get them in the red zone.

Just imagine this; v. Rams: Sellers & Thomas catch those td passes v. the rams they dropped AND Orakpo wasn't called for a personal foul which negated a fumble recovery at about the 15. The game is a blow out, not even counting the Hb option play & CP getting stuffed on 4th down.

Detroit: CP either gets in from the 1 or JC makes a play for a td. Different ballgame.

These are just a few plays, which is what games come down to. But if these plays had gone well, I bet many would say that the Tampa game was just a bad half for JC & the offense.

My point is that there has been progress made w/the offense, but due to a few bad plays (drops, questionable play calls, JC throwing in traffic) there's nothing to show for it. It seems to me that most of the problems are perhaps greater than just correcting technical flaws. This team is in need of inspiration & confidence, maybe the 2nd half of tampa gave it to them?
