What do you think we should start doing on 3rd down D?
Seems we tend to send 3 guys to the QB and drop everyone into a soft zone. I believe this has been killing us because there is always a mismatch or small space to throw to.

Also, do you think TB beating NO helped or hurt us in the long run?
I believe it can bite us in the butt, especially if we don't split with NO.

I don't think it really could ever hurts us if anyone beats the Ain'ts. The only time I remember it hurting us, was when they layed down to Carolina in 08 making us the Wildcard. I don't think that Tampa team is anywhere close to being as good as that Panties team was. Tampa is a 9-7 team at best. Maybe 10-6. I just think they were the benefactor of playing teams that beat themselves.
