The defense didn’t play their best, but they were not the problem. The B.S. officiating was. They were on the rough end of several bad calls and they let it get to them and didn’t respond well. You don’t gut the entire unit because of one bad game. They are a still a solid D overall. Could they use a few upgrades (LBer, another pass rusher)? Yeah. But overall it’s a solid group.
The real problem was the patchwork O-Line (we need more depth, at least better depth) and Andy’s coaching. Some really terrible decisions by him. Maybe the Brit thing really was throwing him off his game? I don’t know. But something wasn’t right out there.
Yes, the officiating was one-sided and went down in TB’s favor, but that is not what ultimately cost them the game.
It certainly didn’t help, though.
