Mike Glennon, the first Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB with his own Mob, has his 3rd 4th Quarter come back to add to his resume, and has now tossed 22 TDs to 9 Interceptions as a Bucs Quarterback.
Yet there was a point in this game, if not many of them, that Glennon looked like he was NOT the answer. He still may not be, but winning is the greatest cleaner. It cleans everything. It cleans up coaches and play callers. It shines QBs and polishes.
HOW THE BUCS COULD HAVE LOST IT?
A dropped TD bomb for Pittsburgh for starters, but the Bucs offensive output in the first half was embarrassing. It was becoming obvious that Glennon was NOT the answer, as the Bucs could not move the ball anywhere.
Vincent Jackson dropping balls like crazy.
Bucs secondary has opposing defenders seemingly wide open. Heath Miller was a monster TE today as the Bucs defense does not get this defense yet. Coverage is so soft, its mind boggling, and yet who is up next? New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham, a Buc killer.
Once again the Bucs lost the time of possession battle, only having the ball for 25:00 minutes.
Somewhere Josh Freeman was laughing, as an instant replay of the Jeter
HOW THE BUCS WON IT
There is nothing like winning a game you have completely lost. With 4 shots at the end zone, the Bucs misfired, and a loss was assured. But wait….after you start doing math, you realize the Bucs have a chance, however slim.
The Bucs defense sacked Steelers QB FIVE TIMES today, most important, two of those sacks came from Michael Johnson, heck even Da’Quan Bowers got in on the act.
Danny Lansanah is a playmaker on defense. Thats what the Bucs need more of on the defensive side, Jonathan Castillias seems to never make a play.
Mike Glennon threw for 302 yards on the day.
The Bucs defense did what they were supposed to do…made stops when they needed to, got a turnover and turned it into points.
Bucs fans need to get over Connor Barth, Patrick Murray has a lot of confidence, and even though that FG was ugly in the first half, Murray is solid so far and clutch in his FG attempts.
