With a starting CB out, 2 really unsure rookies rotating opposite Norman, and facing the top passing offense in the league, I say play "bend but don't break" D + don't get beat over the top + create turnovers is a smart way to game plan!

I give a lot of credit to Manusky for this game (game plan + getting over an awful outing + obviously asking for turnovers).

I said iffy performance, were you not worried during the game? Tampa Bay and their mistakes helped somewhat, I know this D can dominate even with the backup CB's. I like Strohman and Johnson with more playing the better they will get.

I was worried because our offense struggled to move the ball and kept giving the ball back to the Bucs early in the game.

But 3 points, INT, PUNT, Missed FG, FG, Missed FG, INT, FUM, FUM, is not what I would call an iffy performance.

They were willing to give up the yards they gave up in order to not give up the points they didn't give up.

So you are happy with the amount of miss tackles and making a journeyman QB look like Randall Cuningham.

OK I agree on a few too many missed tackles.
But on the other point, Fitzpatrick has been red hot this season, and something like 80% of his completion were on Danny Johnson, the remaining on Strohman and Moreau, and Manusky kept on playing them way soft... because that was the plan... and it worked...

So yeah I'm more than happy by this D's performance. 3 points by the number 1 offense in the league is fine by me.

No one is happy about that, but the defense kept a team that was averaging 28 points per game to just 3 points and that's big.

There is always room for improvement in any game, but you gotta give credit, where credit is due.

Yes there is room for improvement which is what I’m trying to point out. Tackling needs to be fixed, players need to focus and play to their potential. We have a hell of a D and know we can play championship type D, this is what pisses me off. This is the best D we’ve had in a long, long time and they are all young.
