Now they run the ball. Playcalling has been lacking today. If you go 3 and out and give Brady the ball back with another chance that is an absolute gut punch.
Another effortless 3rd down conversion for Tampa. I think what worries me the most about the outcome of this game is that they just look a little bit better at everything than us.
Key word is every. And it literally is every time. They have to address this in the off-season. You don't have to be the best in the league but they is no excuse for how bad the kick squads are. It is really almost worth carrying an extra big footed kicker just to get that touchback every kickoff.
I don't even understand how you can get this ruled a touchback. If you take a kick out of the endzone any other time and get tackled at the 13 you can't go back and say "well I was in the endzone so it's a touchback."
They've had numerous personnel, 2 different HCs and 2 different DCs and yet no matter who is out there, since SB 45 every defense we've put out there has been notorious in coming up small in the biggest of games.
7 of 8 on 3rd down I think that is now? Maybe they should try watching the 2010-11 NFC Championship Game instead. This defense is an absolute joke. Had the momentum back in the game and just like that they pissed it all away.
