I know it was against a team playing very badly, a team missing many defensive starters. But this, from USA Today, Speaks volumes. 1) They only had 4 possessions in the second half. Think about that for a moment. It means that they held the ball so long, it also kept the other offense off of the field, Limited their possessions. 2) aside from thr kneel down to end the game, the scored on each of the 4 possessions, 3 of them touchdowns. That builds confidence, muscle memory if you will. The players not only proved to the coaches, the fans, but to them selves that they can do it when tasked. It is something to build on, even or especially against the drubs of this league.

200 yards rushing in the 2nd half, 24 pts, plays the Ravens haven't run, players making plays, finally. They seemed to relax and just play: bout time. The defense was huge on 3rd downs, forcing Brady to rush his throws, making him see ghosts. Still, they gave up over 300 yards in the air and 14 pts in the 2nd half. Make the playoffs, then play complete games, because if this team does play complete games, no one can best them

Wow, let me say again, WOW 13 MINUTES THEY HELD THE BALL! 24 PTS IN THE SECOND, THE SECOND HALF! Are you kidding me? Okay, so the defense gave up pts again in the 4th quarter, it came down to an onside kick recovery to win the game, again... So the offense played poorly, horribly in the first half just so that they could be brilliant in the 2nd half? Roman was terrible with play designs/calls in the first half, but is masterful in the 2nd half? You can't tempt fate like, it only works once. Like the Ravens, I am flip-flopping, sign Lamar What a half! 5-3! The injuries don't look serious, though a hammy can linger, poor Gus. Likely, now that is the type of play he showed in camp and pre season, good for him!

Put Huntley in for the 2nd half, bet he puts touchdowns on the board

I'm going to bed. This is pure garbage from the play selection, to execution... can't even run a screen play with out either losing 3 yards or running into your own man. Lamar can't even see a 300 LB man running right at him

Should be an auto audible; when they have 7 in the box, run. When 8 or more pass. He looks so doggone confused out there, who doesn't know the pass thrown away has to go past the Los? Trade dead line is next week, trade him over the week end

Run you freaking idiot, run... I'm with papa now, trade him

Wow, really, Hill was wide open in thr flat, or better yet, run once you break the pocket, I'm not staying up for this crap....

9 in the box so why not try and run

Boring, we don't need the age run down, AL Needs to retire

And again, 7-3 Tampa, gonna be a long night

Right side of the defense gets pushed into the ocean,

Evans wide open, despite Peters holding, good thing it was thrown too far

Hey, he can tackle in the backfield

Kennard is supposed to be a good cover linebacker, missed tackles lead to a 44 yard gain

An easy 6 yards on run #2

Hmm, Did they forget to pack the run defense? 9 yards off the batt

Gotta catch those ints when he throws them Hump

Piss poor play calling, then poor execution, = 3 pts instead of 7

Duv was wide open

A little get me going music.. https://youtu.be/EJhAyg2LTEk

So far only Calias Cambell is out, illness... for the Ravens.... Doom Doom Doom

That's the problem with short week games, who knows how the players are going to be ready to play. It could just be a war of attrition, the minds might be ready, but anyone who is old knows full well that the body will argue against the will of the mind. I wish this game was on a full week, this could be a shoot out, a low boring slumber or one team may be more able to dominate.

3 winnable games in a row against subpar teams, 2 at night, yuk. But if this offense doesn't get things going in the first two, we might see a change, but who will take over? Urban, someone from college? There are going to be a lot of head coaches fired after this season, maybe some good oc's available, until we know what they are going to to do with Lamar, there is not much sense in making the full change... Tampa's defense is hurting, a lot of players injured, Roman better, even on a short week, have a game plan to take full advantage of their weaknesses. This is a prime time, if you will, for this offense to take off.
