Will the Steaming Pile(known as the Detroit Lions) break .500? They are 2-3 with a couple easier opponents coming up. What do you think?

Atlanta might be the only team worse than Detroit at late game management.
1st and 10 at the 12. 1:04 left and Detroit's out of time outs, and you're down 2. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is take 2 knees and kick an extra-point-length field goal for the win. That's like 95% win. What do they do? Hand it off and score a TD and give it back to Stafford with Detroit down by only 6.
Whoever called that hand-off, I'd seriously be firing that person. That is beyond blundersome.

I disagree. As a Bucs fan, that was a GREAT game!

A one day postponement so that at least the coaching staff could emerge from the Covid protocol wouldn't have hurt anything. Certainly the television audience wouldn't have suffered any more or less. What a joke!

Why should the NFL accommodate a 5-9 team who is down coaches when they didn't accommodate a Denver team down ALL QBs earlier in the season? Do you think it would have been any less of an asskicking a day later?

It most certainly wouldn't have precluded the asskicking, not with THAT defense which included starters who were just brought up from the practice squad! However, the amount of out-and-out blown coverages that allowed receivers to roam free leads me to believe the players were as clueless as to what to do as the junior analyst in the booth forced into the position of calling the coverages. This was a game that was FUBAR before it even started!
The NFL should take these things into account on a case-by-case basis. A one-day postponement wouldn't have meant a whole lotta difference, except perhaps to the television crew. Only the most sadistic of fans can enjoy such a game as what transpired.

I get what you are saying, but what makes you think the actual coaches would have been any better? As a Tampa fan, I was happy to have a relaxing game as a playoff clincher.

I'll just punt and say it couldn't have possibly been any worse; it could only have been better.
