Now I know many fans are going to be like "how do u earn anything in a loss?" What I'm trying to state is that the Bucs held a good Bengals team, that usually scores 21 or more points against good teams, to under 17 points. Bengals beat Baltimore this year scoring 26 pts. They beat Atlanta only scoring 24 pts. Buccaneers holding the Bengals down to 14 points is worth noting.
As far as producing points with the offense we still have a little bit of ways to go. First year OC Arroyo and the new system is slowly coming together. Penalties have killed many drives, that looked like they were going to produce points, on the opponents side of the field.
The penalty for having 12 men on the field killed the game-winning drive that had the Bucs at the 20 yard line by a great catch from Louis Murphy jr. with 12 sec remaining. The Buccaneers are tied for most penalties in the NFL.
The defense played great as usual. Bucs picked off Andy Dalton three times, sacked twice, and held them to a hundred and seventy six yards passing. The Bengals rushed for a hundred twelve yards.
A 13 yard touchdown pass to AJ Green gave the lead to the Bengals 14-10 in the third which ended up being all that they needed to win the game.
Considering our original OC Tedford is out for the year Arroyo, the quarterback coach, has done a decent job in getting the Bucs offense going. Finishing games are another thing. He's going through growing pains and he'll learn his situational play calling as he grows.
Do you think the Bucs should change their OC next year?
