If any of you seriously believed that the Buccaneers defense was actually going to do its job after the offense tied the game inside the 2-minute warning, I want to buy whatever hopium you’re huffing.
Sunday’s 23-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers just produced more of what we’ve largely seen in the last 6 weeks — an ill-prepared defense and cowardly game management decisions that sink an otherwise well-functioning offense.
What’s even more sad is that it’s not even a new issue, as one might recall this team went through the exact same arc last season.
