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.

I want most of our picks and attention on the offense. More weapons,better OL.
Our defense is fine when it is complimentary to incredible offense.
We have a generational QB in his prime. The ultimate weapon.
In the Super Bowl that weapon never got to fire because:
OL couldn't give him time
Weapons other than Hill/Kelce couldn't get open fast.
On defense I would like to add another pass-rusher and a 3 down linebacker. But ONLY when the value jumps out on the board. Otherwise keep stacking our strength.
