Genaro Resendiz's blog ::Are The Bucs Built For A 2013 Run










On               Sunday,               November               25,               the               Tampa               Bay               Buccaneers               suffered               a               crushing               24-23               defeat               to               the               division               rival               Atlanta               Falcons.

Though               the               game               see-sawed               back-and-forth               throughout               the               contest,               the               Bucs               certainly               enjoyed               numerous               chances               to               seal               a               victory               at               home,               before               a               desperate               Hail               Mary               pass               failed               on               the               final               play.

Here               is               a               look               at               5               reasons               why               Tampa               Bay               fell               short               in               this               NFC               South               match-up.

1.

Unable               to               Capitalize               on               Turnovers               --               In               the               NFL,               a               team               typically               wins               a               game               when               it               triumphs               in               the               turnover               battle.

This               proved               an               inaccurate               theorem               in               describing               Sunday's               contest,               as               the               losing               Buccaneers               actually               produced               the               game's               only               turnovers               via               a               2nd               quarter               interception               by               Ronde               Barber               and               a               4th               quarter               fumble               recovery               by               Gerald               McCoy.

Yet,               each               takeaway               produced               only               field               goals               and               those               lost               points               directly               hampered               victory.

Failure               to               find               the               end-zone               following               Barber's               pick               was               especially               frustrating.

The               veteran               safety               returned               the               ball               to               the               Falcons'               31               yard               line               and               a               trick               pass               from               Mike               Williams               to               Vincent               Jackson               quickly               marched               the               offense               all               the               way               to               the               3.

Nevertheless,               with               a               comfortable               1st               and               goal,               the               Bucs'               offense               disappointingly               was               stopped               on               3               consecutive               plays.

2.

Inability               to               Run               --               Having               already               exceeded               1,000               yards               on               the               season,               expectations               are               sky               high               for               rookie               running               back               Doug               Martin.

While               the               "Muscle               Hamster"               did               find               the               end-zone               on               a               pair               of               1               yard               runs,               he               otherwise               experienced               his               worst               outing               since               Week               4.

Martin               only               rushed               for               51               yards               on               a               healthy               21               carries.

Likewise               the               dangerous               all-purpose               back               was               limited               to               2               catches               for               just               13               yards.

In               fairness,               a               long               screen               pass               to               Martin               was               called               back               early               in               the               game               due               to               a               holding               penalty.

Those               yards               would               have               helped,               but               the               real               issue               was               the               lack               of               penetration               against               the               Falcons               front               4.

The               make-shift               Bucs'               offense               line               certainly               showed               inexperience,               especially               on               the               right               side.

Backup               running               back               LeGarrette               Blount               briefly               entered               the               game,               but               again               did               not               touch               the               ball.
               3.

Long               Strike               to               Julio               Jones               --               Though               a               single               pass               to               a               game-changing               player               is               hardly               the               sole               cause               for               defeat,               this               3rd               quarter               touchdown               was               symbolic               of               the               woes               in               the               Bucs'               secondary.

These               problems               are               likely               to               continue,               as               the               unit               is               depleted               by               the               trading               of               disgruntled               Aqib               Talib               and               the               4               game               suspension               of               Eric               Wright.

The               team's               starting               cornerbacks               E.J.

Biggers               and               Leonard               Johnson               were               ineffective               against               the               Falcons'               QB               Matt               Ryan,               who               picked               Tampa               Bay's               secondary               apart               for               353               yards               and               produced               significant               gains               to               his               weapons               of               Jones,               Roddy               White,               and               Tony               Gonzalez.

But               Jones'               80               yard               3rd               quarter               strike               was               the               back-breaker,               as               the               Falcons               needed               just               1               play               to               attain               a               go-ahead               touchdown.

Becoming               Atlanta's               longest               play               of               the               year,               Johnson               not               only               failed               to               contain               Jones               in               single               coverage,               but               the               rookie               blew               a               potential               tackle               that               could               have               prevented               the               score.
               4.

Lack               of               Pressure               on               Matt               Ryan               --               Despite               gains               by               Coach               Greg               Schiano               on               the               team's               defensive               line,               the               Bucs               continue               struggling               to               put               pressure               on               opposing               signal               callers.

Lost               to               a               season-ending               injury               in               Week               3,               last               year's               top               pass               rusher               Adrian               Clayborn               is               clearly               missed.

Matt               Ryan               remained               largely               untouched               on               Sunday               and               completed               a               highly               efficient               26               of               32               passes.

Teams               rarely               lose               when               a               quarterback               completes               over               80%               of               passes,               as               it               is               an               indication               that               the               thrower               is               not               under               adequate               pressure.

In               fact,               when               Ryan               was               touched               on               a               corner               blitz               by               Biggers,               he               fumbled.

That               4th               quarter               effort               was               sadly               the               Bucs'               sole               sack               of               the               game.

While               Schiano's               defense               gets               credit               for               creativity,               it               only               worked               because               the               Falcons               missed               proper               protection.

Tampa               Bay's               league-leading               run               defense               again               performed               nobly               in               limiting               Atlanta               to               79               yards,               but               the               unit               must               produce               more               stress               on               quarterbacks.
               5.

Missed               FG               in               the               4th               Quarter               --               Fans               cannot               rightfully               blame               this               loss               on               Connor               Barth's               errant               4th               quarter               56               yard               field               goal.

The               Bucs'               kicker               actually               enjoyed               a               strong               day,               converting               3               of               4               attempts,               including               a               48               yard               boot               in               the               final               frame.

Additionally,               Barth               looked               better               than               his               rival,               former               Buccaneer               Matt               Bryant,               who               missed               on               2               of               3               attempts,               including               an               embarrassing               23               yard               try.

However,               it               must               be               noted               that               the               Bucs               would               have               seized               a               26-24               lead               with               less               than               4               minutes               to               play               if               Barth's               kick               were               good.

Perhaps               Schiano               can               be               questioned               for               overly               trusting               his               kicker               and               not               instead               pursuing               a               4th               down               attempt.

Indeed,               he               may               execute               a               different               decision               when               this               situation               is               again               encountered.

But               Barth               is               a               respectable               4               of               7               from               beyond               50               yards               in               2012,               including               a               brilliant               57               yarder.

So               it               remains               a               close               call,               but               also               one               that               backfired               in               defeat.
