Add a fumble to the 3 picks. (Not a lost fumble)

At least the Bucs coaches could see that keeping the ball out of the QB’s hands and letting ATL make mistakes gave them the best chance to win.

How awful must Tua be if he didn’t get a single snap after pick #3?

Tampa ran on damn near every play and got more than 5 yards a carry against our defense when everyone in the stadium (except for Ulbrich, apparently) knew the Bucs were not going to try throwing a pass.

Meanwhile, we couldn't get a run game going in a game where we really needed to run the ball effectively. Bijan has been slowed down significantly over the last few weeks, which goes back to my issue with drafting him so high in the first place. In the NFL, it doesn't matter who the RB is. If a good run defense really wants to take your run game away, they can.

When teams are so keyed in on stopping Bijan, Penix HAS to hit the wide open passes like the one he missed on that rollout to Pitts that would have been an easy TD early in the game. I don't care what kind of weather conditions you're in. NFL QBs need to be able to make that throw. Penix tried to lead him and overthrew it. When someone it that wide open, you throw it right at his head and don't even risk overthrowing it.
