00:00First of all, anyone who took the under on that game, that went way over going 30-30
00:08into overtime and I'm trying to keep my cool here, Tom, because what a tough ending for
00:13the Tampa Bay Bucs.
00:14You've got Kirk Cousins dancing on the sidelines.
00:16It's driving me mental, but a big game and a big finish for the Atlanta Falcons closing
00:22out this one, 36-30.
00:23But my gosh, I mean, this was probably a lot off script from what we thought we were going
00:29to see a lot of different things in that second half.
00:31Let's start with what we saw in the second half before we touch back to the full recap.
00:35Yeah, the second half is kind of what I was expecting for the whole game, 3-3, 3-10 when
00:43it comes to scoring.
00:44So a bunch of field goals, one score here, one score there.
00:47That's what I was anticipating for the entire game, divisional game.
00:51As I'm going to keep saying, a short week, divisional game, important, move the ball
00:55on the ground.
00:56And that's not what we saw.
00:57We expected a lot of it was in the first half.
00:59Some inefficiencies when it comes to field goal kicking, missed field goals.
01:03But they were moving the ball up and down, Kirk Cousins, 5-0-9 and four through the air.
01:09They moved the ball left and right.
01:11You know, as I kind of mentioned on the pregame as well, I said Baker was going to be efficient.
01:15He could probably be around 200 yards and have multiple touchdowns, 180-3, like Baker
01:21was good tonight.
01:22Like, that's a fact.
01:23This game is not on Baker.
01:24And listen, he got the knee thing.
01:27He got kind of twisted down.
01:28He came back.
01:29He was moving.
01:30This game is not on Baker or the offense.
01:31It's about the Bucs defense because your quarterback goes out there and gives you three touchdowns.
01:35You have an offense that rushes for 160 yards on the ground.
01:39They should be winning that game.
01:40So it was very exciting.
01:42If you have overs on Kirk Cousins, they flew past that.
01:46Overs on Drake London, like, we got a lot to talk about.
01:49Oh, absolutely.
01:50But you did say it.
01:51You talked about Baker Mayfield's ability to be efficient.
01:54He had the ability to do so, 79%.
01:56And then he ranked about 6% higher than Kirk Cousins, regardless of that insane 509 passing
02:02yards.
02:03It's just ridiculous.
02:04But good football all around.
02:05You did mention the most important thing here is the fact that Bucs defense kind of let
02:09down their offense.
02:10Not kind of.
02:11Tremendously did.
02:12I mean, they allowed 28 first downs to take place there, which is obviously going to put
02:17your opponent in a better position to score.
02:19And that's what we saw there.
02:20We saw their ability to get down the field no matter what.
02:22I mean, I thought it was a wrap when Levante David got that interception.
02:25I was in here hollering.
02:27I was trying not to disrupt the guys in in-game live.
02:30And then just imagine me trying to keep my cool over here in the corner as the game just
02:33slips away from the Bucs because defense was just unable to lock down the Atlanta Falcons
02:37offense.
