I'm looking forward to Jon Gruden's news conference Monday morning. I sure would like to know why the Bucs didn't have any answers to NY's adjustments after whooping NY in the 1st quarter.
The final 45 minutes of that game was sudden and shocking. Never did I think the Bucs defense would not make adjustments to take away what NY was doing from the 2nd quarter on. They owned NY in the first quarter.....(-2 yards total offense by the Giants).
That seven point lead was gone in a NY minute once the 2nd quarter got underway. The offense went 3 and out, the defense couldn't stop NY. Then special teams laid an egg, with Michael Spurlock's fumble on the 2nd half's opening kickoff. Jeff Garcia tried to get Joey Galloway involved in the game......forced a pass to #84 in the endzone.....picked off. It was a complete meltdown.
I'll say this. The Giants season ends next week against Dallas. Thank goodness the Bucs have a ton of money to work with under the cap.....they'll need it.
At least I was right calling the game under 39 1/2 points....But my predictiion of a 16-14 Bucs win .....that @#@$!
