Quote:That's the watermark we're going with? What's the excuse when we crap the bed next week to Houston? 

 

The play that stands out to me, we called a safety blitz on a Tampa run, Cyp is in perfect position times it perfect but then over runs Martin who then goes on unmolested into the secondary for a huge gain.

 

The call was right, the package was right, the execution was even there, the freaking TALENT wasn't! That's the problem, the players on the field can't tackle they can't find the ball carrier. 

Watermark?  No.  Simply stating a fact here.  Houston supposedly has one of the most talented defenses in the league with arguably the best defensive player in the NFL, and they couldn't beat a 40 year old QB.  It happens. 

 

Attention to detail is a big problem for this team right now.  Bad angles, lousy tackling, and being out of position more often than not.  That's a problem.  When your team is ravaged by injuries, if you expect to maintain any level of effectiveness, the guys stepping into those roles need to be able to execute properly.  They're not.  Is that coaching?  Talent?  Preparation?  I think it's a whole lot of everything right now. 

 

Ultimately, it's going to come down on the head coach, and based on how he presented in the post game presser, he clearly understands just how bad his situation is right now.
