the play that killed the panthers...

[PhillyB]

30ish yard pass from moore to a wide-open rosario. rosario lets it slip out of his hands and he stumbles into the endzone, blowing what would've been a game-tying touchdown.

all the energy went out of the panthers' offense after that play. gamechanger IMO

If only it was just one play...

I was happy to see them targeting Rosario a bit more yesterday, but really disappointed when he dropped that ball. That's why I said in another thread that I actually thought the playcalling, for the most part, was okay yesterday -- there was just a lot of bad execution. Sometimes it was Moore's fault, sometimes it wasn't.

Oh well. I do think Clausen goes through his reads and finds short yardage when we need it.

also the Bogus Pass interference call on a tipped ball.

Honestly, there was about 6 or 7 plays that really made the difference, however those are the plays that separated okay players and good players and great players.

I agree. If Rosario hangs on to that ball Matt's a hero and permanent starter.

Matt's individual performance was really not as bad as the team's overall performance made me him look. But still, Clausen seemed to be able to do more with the team that we do have than Matt did.

That ball didn't looked tipped at all to me. You are talking about the one where Gamble got behind his receiver and put him in a half nelson, right?

Wow, you and I agree completely on that one. :cheers2:

What about the play where TB got a 40 yard pick up on 3 and 19?

There were ALOT of plays the killed the Panthers. I would add to the top of the list the 3rd and long when they D-line actually got some pressure, two guys missed Freeman while he scrabled to the right, then he tossed a bomb down the field to hit a wide open Winslow. That played followed by a pass up the middle, several missed tackles and a TD. Result 14-7 Bucs, and if I am not mistaken that drived was the one right after Smitty's TD.

I also think to the overthow to Gettis on the deep pass was a bigger blow to the Panthers than the Rosario one.

I can go on and on of all the plays that were killers yesterday. This team is just not good and we have a lame duck coach.

offense had problems, but they were moving the ball pretty well before that. the previous drive started from the panthers 12 anything before the 20 and the panthers are notorious for punting out of the endzone) and ended in gutsy fourth-down steve smith TD.

the drive that ended in rosario's drop was a similar display... and that offense never came out on the field again. (goodson catching quickie screens against a prevent defense with 2:30 on the clock doesn't count.)

[chknwing]

I thought it was tipped, the crowd thought it was tipped, john fox through the red flag because he thought it was tipped.

[Montsta]

Another BS call was the RTP penalty called against Greg Hardy. He was moving past the defender who did a move (I won't call it a push as much as a juke maybe) that led Hardy right into Freeman. That one was also on 3rd which would have caused a long FG try instead of the touchdown they got afterwards.

IMO, the play that killed Carolina was the 3rd and long by Tampa where Johnson almost sacked Tampa and then Norwood completed choked on an a very easy sack to kill the drive....result was a huge play and that single play started Tampa's roll.
