Just really disappointed, really don't know what
that game would have looked like 22 points off
the turnovers. Really in every phase you know sack fumble,
protection issue, two interceptions,
dropped punt, let the points, the blocked kick, all those things.
Really just kind of mounting up
to putting us in a really big hole to see
if we could try to dig out of it. Still with all that
you know we go into the half and it's like all
right guys let's just take it one drive at a time
and see what we can make out of it
and I gotta give the Bucs a lot of credit, uh fantastic game
plan in the run game, um their execution you know
on our side of it you know guys just a couple of
missed tackles uh happening back there
and sometimes we had the line of scrimmage controlled
and you know the backs were able to get out in space
and we didn't bring them down with enough
um with enough urgency so just working together
and executing those things, um and again I gotta
watch the film kind of like narrow in on on what it
was uh that was creating that opportunity but
But at the same time, I don't want to take anything away from the Bucs.
They created those things.
So, you know, we got a quick turnaround.
You know, we basically have our Monday
meeting just now in the locker room
just to kind of take a look
at the critical variables and how we win games
and to just be able to look at that
and we didn't give ourselves a chance today, by the way.
