How did Tampa lose that one? Seriously, against a Dallas team decimated with injuries on the defensive side of the ball, how did Tampa not run that team into the “star”? Tampa managed only 3 field goals, the home team is booing their quarterback, and he’s throwing the ball so Tampa can’t catch it, but neither can his own receivers and you lose.

Tampa’s D held Dallas to 172 total net yards, but when it counted 4th down, twice, they choked, period.

The Dallas game plan was simple, don’t make mistakes and hopefully Tampa doesn’t play well and it worked. With combination of poor play, bone head penalties, and being out coached both teams are 5-3. Instead of Dallas being 4-4 and being a team on the outside looking in they are right there holding the fort down till team is healthy. Instead of Tampa sitting nicely at 6-2, now they have to play catch up to Carolina. Tampa should take a peek at the standing, because if you’re not winning your respective NFC division this year, it’s going to be tough to get a Wild Card spot, because a lot of good teams competing them.
