Where was our offense? Will it Re-Appear?

They will score more than 10 points!

I wouldn't say that. We tried to stick with the running game because that is what got us here. The problem was that the Buc's D held it into check. But I do agree, we'll score more than 10 points next week on offense. I believe it works in our favor to go up against such a great d. If we can win a playoff game playing this poorly on offense, then with just a little bit of improvement next week, we should have a great shot!

i agree... the reason why it was smart to run with the lead is because the pass wasn't there for the most part. we were in a position to rely on the D by that point, so that means move the clock. running was tough against the Bucs' D, but it was necessary. because of the third and longs, the Bucs went cover 2 a lot and the pass was gone. their D played out of their minds today- so the game plan called for ball management with the lead.
