They weren't going to allow any big plays. Pretty much every defense we face plays 2 high safeties now.
Really the only schematic thing we could've done I guess is just alot more short routes and quick game but Tampa was bottling that down too when we ran it.
Sometimes there's just not much you can do when your OL is all backups and you're facing a Top 3 defense with a very good pass rush who gets home with 4 and a good secondary and LBs.
Add in the 3 dropped TDs (Reek, Williams, DRob), Kelce's drop on 3rd down, and a bunch of penalties and this is what can happen.

Bucs were the better team. Period. They are more deep and had less weaknesses than us. We got the superstars sure but overall Bucs roster is solid from top to bottom and they have way more depth. Ours is filled w holes especially w injuries to oline. Mahomes can't mask everything.
Bucs had a terrible game plan first game which is why they lost but they adjusted. I was impressed.
All good we'll be back. Just gotta keep getting better.
