Reviewing the game stats you could conclude the Bucs were a great team or the Lions played ineptly. Marvinudy leans more to the latter. Lion’s aerial assault was genuine but futile. Thirty four completions out of fifty five attempts gets the games’ ending result. With a little less than 500 yards of offense and A. Hutchinson’s defensive efforts, one would expect a blow-out.
Without delving into historical misery, we’ve been here before. Tampa’s net offense peaked out at 216 yards. What happened you ask? Lion’s lousy ‘red zone’ productivity. March up and down the field and settle for a field goal. Maybe J. Goff had a really off day. Let’s hope he cleansed his system. If not a plan “B” better be in Campbell’s s hip pocket.
In spite of the macabre insult penalty for having approximately 20 men on the field resulting in the first half ending loss of a field goal, the Lion’s were saved from “Dufus” of the week award going to Green Bay with the center ‘barfing’ on the ball just prior to the snap.
On to our next game with the Cardinals remembering what they did to LA Rams.
