Dan Quinn went for it on fourth down every time he should have and produced 2 TDs out of it (14 points) instead of taking 4 FGs (12 points).

Tampa Bay kicked field goals in those situations and mismanaged their 2H timeouts.

The Bucs had a red-hot run defense and a formidable offense that I thought could make a serious NFC run. I was wrong: Todd Bowles was too much to overcome and the NFC is wide open.
