Bucs beat down postgame

[MTK]

I thought Ron and the staff deserve some major kudos for having this team ready to rock coming off the bye, and for a couple of decisions they made late in the game, #1 going for it on 4th down with 29 seconds left instead of kicking a FG, and then taking a knee on the conversion to not risk a 2 point run back on a blocked kick.

Also props to Del Rio for orchestrating a defense that was missing two key pieces in Sweat and Young and keeping Brady and the Bucs off kilter all day long.

Well they figured out exactly where the Native burial ground is in FedEx

Yeah, the D played really well on all levels I thought. They were without St-Juste as well.

The story is sus but without any evidence it's just hearsay. Easier just to blame the common denominator.

I was hoping with the major field reconstruction it would be the last we'd hear about terrible injuries happening with our turf, but I guess not.

Extend Wes, draft a guard at some point to be a backup, waive goodbye to Scherff, that would be my play if I was in charge.

Definitely. All of the coaches got the job done the past 2 weeks leading up to the game. Job well done. That was about as clean as a victory as you could hope for. The guys were ready to play and win.

Please do it again this week. We need to stretch at least 2 or 3 wins together.

Your mistake was listening to anything ESPN. That company is strictly for watching games now.

Not saying I wholly disagree with that play, because with 30 seconds left the points were likely to be immaterial. But if you were worried about a blocked kick, especially given Slye seemed to be kicking well, why not just try a normal 2pt attempt pass with the instruction to throw it away if there's nobody open immediately? Someone breaks through the OL you just drop and take the sack/knee anyway, and if you actually get the 2 pts you've got an insurmountable 2 TD lead. Seems a bit un-riverboat like.

[MTK]

^ What's the risk/reward there though? You can say just throw it away, but crazy things can happen. Botched snap, immediate pressure, sack/fumble, etc. A 10 point lead with 30 seconds left is already 99.9% insurmountable.

[SunnySide]

Bucs only chance was getting 2 pts plus a TD.

Smart move to take it way from them.

Smart move going for it on 4th and goal from the 1, up 4, with 0:29 left as well.

[skinsfaninok]

going for it on 4th down was great, it showed the team that Ron is saying "u deserve this game"

[MTK]

I thought Scott Turner called a good game too.

Probably the biggest takeaway from Sunday is this team is still playing hard and isn't giving up.

Could end up being a signature type of win if we can keep it going against Carolina.

[skinsfaninok]

yeah I will say one thing about Ron, his teams dont quit.. I doubt they pull a string of wins in a row but we have seen them do it before so its possible.. Gotta beat CAR Sunday to stay alive in that thick WC Race
