| Irresistable force meets immovable object, as in, Peyton Manning meets the 2002 Bucs pass defense. The 2002 Bucs pass D is great in almost every way you could ask for it to be great. They are stingy with completions, and intercept like something out of the dark past of the NFL. In the First half the Defense won, as Tampa was staked to a 17 - 0 halftime lead. two long ball control scoring drives yielded 10 points, and a subsequent interceptio return for a TD gave a farily comfortable cushion. All of Mannings three interceptions occurred in the first 30 minutes, and the game looked like a boat race. In the second half Manning came alive with a vengeance, and threw very well including a 75 yard TD strike to Austin Collie. The problem was that Tampa's perpetually underrated Brad Johnson played pretty well himself, and Tampa was able to tally another pair of TD's - just enough as it turned out to squeak by with a three point win. Indy's defense was a problem. Tampa's offense is....OK. Not gaudy. Should be stoppable. Won't burn too many people with big plays. Indy's defesne is not bad, per se, its just not all that good, and I think it killed them here. |
