Another awesome thing was after giving up 21 points to the Bucs in the first half, we surrendered only THREE in the second half!
What an amazing game!

I'll take the wins whenever we can get them, but I'd like not to be sweating and jittery after a game at some point. My body can't take the close ones like it used to be able to.
I felt the same way. I was nervous all the way up until the time we got within the Bucs 10 yard line in overtime. I was taking A LOT of deep breaths in the late 4th Quarter and Overtime.
This is 2 games now where we've started off with our front 7 looking like there all hung-over … The secondary is battling but it's the battle upfront that were getting popped in the mouth because it seems like as a team were just thinking we can go through the motions and win anyway… We can't get away with this crap against good teams so we better get this out of our system and quick like… Last year we went through something very similar mid season as well.. Then we got it together so I hope that repeats itself…
I love the stat ESPN used in their power ranking about teams that were -3 in turnover margin. Before Sunday, those teams were 1-19 in games this season. My guess is the other team is the Broncos or KC but I don't know who it is. Sure shows how tough and resilient this team is to not only overcome the turnovers, but stop the bleeding, rev up the offense and win the game.
The possibility of a slow start is the thing that worries me the most next week in Atlanta. It's another 10 am start and after coming out looking sluggish and sloppy for a 1 pm home game yesterday, they're gonna have to come out more awake and sharper next week than they have all season. Hopefully the memory of last year's first half debacle in the playoffs in Atlanta will provide that little bit extra for this game. The Falcons might be terrible this year, but if the Hawks can take anything away from the Tampa game, it's that terrible teams can still put a scare into you and possibly even beat you if you're sluggish and sloppy.
