That one hurt badly.
Bucs just hate going against rookie QBs, its like a legit worry every time. I'm mad about the fact they allowed that momentum shifting 76 yard touchdown at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. I knew the momentum shifted entirely, its just beyond frustrating to see the same breakdowns downfield. Bowles and Leftwich got comfortable IMO, they took the foot off of the pressure from the first half.
Also, the Giants made some great adjustments in playing bump and run against the receiving core. The same separation was not allowed in the second half.
I was legitimately kicking and screaming, but its a football game. If, Tampa Bay can harness that type of energy on both sides of the ball for a full game man... Today was a flash of that strength, but the Rams next week is going to be a hard battle for both sides of the ball. Tampa has the same damn problem, not enough consistency and cannot finish games. Damn near brought me to tears at the end of the game, I hope they don't release Gay (kicker), he's got a lot of upside. I'd like to see him stay long-term.
