We were 1 player away from Winning

The problem with that is Horn, often, doesn’t play. 

Ouch. You're not wrong though. And D-Jax has to try to bounce back from an Achilles which is as tough of a recovery process as it gets. It's ended a lot better players than D-Jax. Beason comes to mind.

Our secondary has just been obliterated by injury this season.  We were playing with backup (at best) talent against the GOAT with playoffs on the line, this result was not surprising.  
 

We still could have won the game pretty easily if we just punched them in the mouth on 4th and short downs and avoided turnovers.

 

It took a HEROIC effort from Brady and Evans to beat us today.

We were Oline, Dline and DB short today

Omg stop it! You could literally say this about almost every close game in the nfl. At the end of the day we have lots of holes that need to be fixed. Yes we could have won with Horn but the bucs aren’t a great team and are beat up to hell. Every teams have injuries, great teams overcome them. if Tampa was healthy you think we would have just needed one player to beat them? No. We keep getting wins against .500 and below teams and people act like we are good. We aren’t. We are in a rebuilding Mode. We have a promising offensive line and some good young players at other postions. We could be great in a year or two, or we could be horrible with some bad luck, like injuries, etc. the nfl is unpredictable.
