I had some thoughts on this game a priori, but now I'll post what I think with 100% hindsight. Tampa isn't very good. I had a hunch that this was a closer game than most people thought, but I don't think that this result can be attributed to variance. Their vaunted defensive line looks average at best. Their offense might actually be the strength of this team, and that O-line has problems. This was probably the last week to cash in on TB being overrated (and maybe Pitt being under), but this team has big problems.
