Tampa looked good in week 1. Especially their pass O. Need the rush to show up. I think it'll be closer than the 7.5 line.
 
Need to pressure Baker early and often. I was critical of Hutch not getting home last week vs 3rd string tackles, but it seems like PFF gave him a record grade so maybe I was too hard on him.
 
When will they fix the pass interference yardage bs. No way should that little bit of contact be a 41 yard penalty
 
3rd 22 you play that defense.

Stop the pressure on 3rd and Long.

55 yarder.
