The real concern: turnovers

I think it would've made a hell of difference if Taylor was in there.

Not to mention Griffin.

True. With the way Salave'a was playing....just imagine if Griffin was there...

Brunell had a third pass that was almost picked off by the Bucs. Also, didn't he fumble and we recovered it in addition to his fumble that the Bucs recovered?

These are the same types of things that got Ramsey benched.

The offense gave up the ball way too many times during the first half and that kept the Bucs in the game.

So, there is blame to go all around, not just with the "D".

Bucs 14 points on turnovers vs. Redskins 8 points on turnovers. Plain and simple, the turnovers have to stop.

I could not agree more

I don't know that Griffin would have made that much of a difference with the pass rush. Even when he was healthy this year, the front four had trouble getting to the quarterback.

Interesting numbers:

The Bucs allowed 10 sacks in the two games leading up to the Redskins, who got zero.

In 9 games so far this season, Wynn and Daniels have combined for one sack -- Daniles got it against McNabb when the rest of the line thought he was going to spike the ball just before halftime.
