The D....

needs to be able to stop teams from driving the field w/ less than 2 minutes to go and a touchdown lead. PERIOD End of story.

No excuses for the game even going to OT……cept POOR COACHING and management.

Tampa didn’t even have 70 yeards rushing and they had 4 turnovers……The Bears almost had to try to lose that one

by kcjones on Sep 21, 2008 3:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree with all of this...

I meant the refs blew that PLAY, not the game. Tillman ran in to try to protect a teammate from some cheap shot MFer from the Bucs. To award the Bucs a new set of downs is poor officiating. At worst, there should have been offsetting penalties.
