Buccaneers' Koetter took over play-calling before 3-point dud

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter admitted Sunday he took over play-calling duties on offense before his team laid a 3-point dud against the Washington Redskins and lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Koetter refused to divulge postgame why he decided to call the plays instead of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, but accepted responsibility for the Bucs' poor output.

"We just weren't good enough as a team," he said after falling 16-3 on Sunday, according to Austin Knoblauch of NFL.com. "That starts with me and permeates down through everybody else on the offense. To move the ball like that and only come up with three points, you're just not going to win that way."

Tampa registered 501 yards of offense against Washington but failed to produce anything more than a field goal. It was the first time in NFL history that a team posted 500-plus yards of offense and was limited to three points.

"It starts with me and it ends with me," the embattled Koetter responded when asked about his job security. "(My future) is somebody else's decision."

The 3-6 Bucs will attempt to snap a three-game losing skid in Week 11 against the 1-7 New York Giants.
