Now, I hated, hated, HATED the fact that we were calling timeouts before half that ultimately led to Tampa's TD. They were more than willing to run that clock out and we helped them stay in the series. Huge mistake, IMO. That said, we are an aggressive team. THAT is our nature. Sometimes you win with it, and sometimes it bites you in the ass. That bit our ass. Other than that, the Staff did what they could, with what they had. Hard to blame Andy for much more than that.

For the situation, it made no sense.
#1, your offense did NOTHING all half. Somehow you believe that 15 seconds with no timeouts, NOW you can do something?
#2 We were getting the ball at half. The bucs were SURRENDERING A POSSESSION! I'm sorry, but thats a gift you dont turn away. Go in down 8 instead of 15? It changes everything.
Its situational football and clock management. Neither have been Andys strong suit in the biggest games.
