The official " will C. McLaughlin make a difference against the Bucs" game day thread

[bertjones]

I suppose you'd say it was an exciting game but I'd like to have those 3
hours I spent watching the game back all the same. They were gifted an
opportunity to get back in the playoff hunt but followed the same script they
have the previous 7 weeks.
The defense couldn't hold a 14 point lead. I know they secured 4 turnovers
but boy did they play like shit in between. People that think drafting or
signing a QB is going to be a panacea are fooling themselves. This unit still needs a fair amount of work, which makes sense since Ballard inherited a
bare cupboard there.
And of course the offense and ST shit their pants down the stretch.
They need a kicker, obviously. Wr is a glaring need. And QB, I don't think
Jacoby is quite good enough. I don't want to move up to get one though, if one is there at one of their top 2 picks take him otherwise wait till next year
when I believe there is a deeper QB class and Brissets contract is up.
This is a tough minded, resilient team with a GM that has a pretty good head on his shoulders but boy is there a lot of work to be done.
