I predicted this going into the game. A blind man could see that coming from a mile away. What I didn't see coming was how bad this defense could truly be scheme wise. It needs a complete overhaul. Sadly we also need another RB and a couple more WR's as well.

Scheme of the D is great. Talent is abysmal.

Giving up 48 points says otherwise. Tampa had guys open everywhere all day long.

Offense had some really strong three and outs. Dropped that big ole fourteen burger on those fools.

In a perfect world we'd go after some top end weapons in the offseason, but the defense is just too abysmal I don't think we can afford it.

Yeah, but Evans and Irving were better than anything we had today. We definitely need to draft and develop better. Been like that for years though

Irving was one of the pups, though.  I think they had two young Divsion II WRs out there today.  People here are quick to point out Coker went to Holly Cross and that our WR corps is so crappy having to ask a D-2 guy to step in the lineup.  The Bucs have a couple of D-2 guys at WR and don't need to make any excuses for their passing game.

Theilen would be a #3 on most other teams. No shot at him, but if he's our best weapon on offense that tells you how bad Bryce has it trying to carry this offense.

Let me know when he starts trying.

Really? I mean, I fully expected this defense to be completely eviscerated today without Horn and not having a run game on the other side to minimize their time on the field.

The soft zone allowed 2 no name players to look like pro bowl players out there. They left Evans wide open on 3rd down time after time. Evero is done here.

That's why he's always open, he's a #3 quality WR?.  Thielen's main limitation is if Bryce can hit him. Only 67 players have more receptions. He's not a #3.  He's honestly a #2, although our #1,  and the fact that Bryce relies on him so much shows how valuable he is.  Thielen happens not to suck because he wasn't drafted and 'developed' here.  If so, he probably would be a #3,  if in the League at all.  Thank you Vikings for showing us what a WR should look like.

Twitter cringe at its finest.   He does lay wast to entire panther seasons though.

Too many instant throwaways, didn’t even try to scramble. A throwaway on 3rd and 10 instead of scrambling is plain stupid.

I'm at the point in which it's really hard to discern whether it's the scheme or our players that's causing the bigger issue. Either way, it's probably best for both parties to go our separate ways and go full reset on our defense.

I'm willing to bet we play at 4pm next Sunday so they can stagger us and the Bucs/Saints game to make the NFC South title more suspenseful.
