The whole "saving the playbook" excuse doesn't fly either. Billick looked so pissed off and now wants to play his starters longer because he was saving his good plays for Tampa?
Billick was pissed for several reasons.

1. Officiating was terrible again.
2. Mental mistakes like false starts and personal fouls.
3. Missed opportunities - i.e. Stover's missed FG.
4. Poor execution - The line protection breakdowns, poor route running, and bad decisions by his new QB are all completely independant of the plays being called. It shouldnt matter if the playbook was vanilla, his team should still execute well.
5. Our $100m secondary looked like complete shit. Min was passing the ball on us at will and when our DBs did catch up they were whiffing on the tackles.

These are football basics that are being missed by his supposedly professional team. None of that has anything to do with "saving the playbook" and all of it is good reason for him to be pissed and for us to be afraid.

He is was also probably pissed because ultimately, the poor execution of the basics are 100% on HIS shoulders.
