The Bucs didn’t win that gave.  The Packers lost that game.

I'm going to disagree.   TB made some plays that GB didn't.   Couple diving catches that TB made vs GB not making.  Godwin deep pass was lucky/ a play that Lazard/Adams missed.  Johnson diving over the middle to pick up a 3rd down.  

Small things like that make the difference.  Converting redzone opportunities into TD and not FG.  Mason Crosby kicked a 24 and 26 yard FG.  Succop kicked a 46 yard FG.  Getting that close and not getting a TD

Pettine will not be fired...he wasn't fired last year and that was even worse.  However, Kevin King's future on the team is now more certain.

 

LaFleur did not hide his contempt for Pettine ALL year long so I definitely think he's getting the boot.

Agreed.   the situation was no different.   If they were down 5 or 6 instead of 8, where kicking the FG there means you only need another FG for the win or tie.   But kicking the FG still meant stop them and score a  TD.   the math didn't change

Its odds of getting a TD in one play and getting a 2pt conversion and holding them for 2min to tie versus odds of a FG , stop and TD  to win,  I liked the call.

Yep, sequences like that are the epitome of a choke-job. Stage was too big for them today. 

ehhhhhhh they rebounded just fine so choke-job might be extreme.  Had a chance to tie the game with under 3 minutes left.

we can talk about the refs not calling anything until the end, or the decision to kick it, but this game was lost at the halfway point.

1. Completely pathetic to let up a touchdown at the end of the half

2. Desperate for some momentum in the second half and instead Jones fumbles leading to a 1 play touchdown.

14 point swing just brutal when it happened over 3 plays.  

spot on.   Should have been 17 -10 at half at the worst.   GB getting the ball to start the 2nd half and goes fumble with return inside the 10 for the quick TD.
