He always brushes off Alex's lack of yards as meaningless "fantasy football" stats.

Suddenly, it's the most important stat of the day.

But we were over the average in third down conversions on offense.

Checkmate.

Points off turnovers. Hard to win with that along with a bunch of 3 and outs. No chance to keep the Buc's offense off the field and rest the Defense. The offense did nothing to control the game.

You understand field position is part of the game of football and an offense that moves the ball 40 yards down the field puts their team in favorable position regardless if points are scored?

Or do we have special teams there to make sure the owners don't keep all the money to themselves?

Not sure if you are an idiot or just a clay level troll ....or both

You want the offense to put up points but how much can you expect if the other team controls time of possession 35 to 25 as a result of their ability to create first downs?

Uh, that's not entirely true. The defense did little to get themselves off the field.

Ok, say we do that every drive do we win or lose?

Well I think his post explained how he expected more points scored.

We knew Mike Evans would own whatever corner we had covering outside of Peters. It happened. Defense did themselves no favors, but holding them to FG's was an accomplishment.

You realize you trade picks and extend QBs to pick up critical 3rd downs and not set up the punter right, or did the lack of oxygen to your brain from your uncle's cock lodged down your throat stunt your development?

Isn't that what i just said?

That was my point, are you agreeing with me?

Make no mistake, nobody thinks the defense played great today. They did not play well. They still held the opposing team to 19 points. The offense didn't step up and do their part. The defense has won so many games for this team, how about the offense do their ****ing part for once.

True, definitely

My point is that there was more than one reason we lost the game.

Of course Alex Smith's terrible pass for an interception was one of those reasons.

Here's where the defense hurt us today....

Field position...
3rd down conversions...
Stops on critical downs...

They couldn't hold them at the half...
They couldn't keep them out of the endzone after the INT...
They couldn't get a stop at the end of the game when we needed it on 3rd down..

Save one drive, the Bucs didn't have great starting field position the entire game. In fact, one of their drives started on their own 4 yard line and they just waltzed right down the field. The only times they didn't score was when Winston dropped the ball and when they got called for a holding penalty.

Other than that, the Bucs had their way with our defense today. On the ground, in the air, 3rd and long, didn't matter.

The offense left 11 points on the field, no questions about it. But the defense was not good at all today. I think the score is not indicative of how bad they played. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.

This is really all that needs to be said out offense is ranked 28th there is no defending it anymore.
