Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[bucbrett]

That's right- Bucs and Jags a combined 2-0 in the last seven days!

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Unbeaten for the week!

[Thomas]

All that and the top two picks in the draft!

[bucbrett]

Unstoppable force! Look at what getting the running game going did- Glennon had a great day, threw some nice deep balls. Impressed with Bobby Rainey. I'm not sure how the Browns decided he wasn't worth keeping over McGahee or Ogbonaya.

Two in a row for you, Brett. For me, life went back to normal, except for two things: (1) The Jaguars scored a touchdown at home (two of them, in fact), and (2) they held a lead at halftime. Then, Gus Bradley reminded them who they were, and they were outscored 20-0 in the second half.

 

There are still billboards around town campaigning for the team to bring in local hero Tim Tebow. As bad as Jacksonville's QBs are, I don't see the harm - except that it would be a PR nightmare if they ever cut him.

Who knew? Nice to have this little bit of sunshine in the depression that has been the season.

If you really want to be rid of Schiano, this cannot be good.

[Brandon]

its always the coaches fault unless you win

[bucbrett]

Oh, no I still want Schiano gone, this changes nothing. Lovie Smith 2014.

[Thomas]

Pulled about 5 horseshoes out of their ass but the Bucs beat the Lions on the road.

Really hope the Panthers don't sleep on the bucs this Sunday. Was really worried about the dolphins game as it was a trap game, coming off a huge win on MNF against New England.

Now the Panthers have the bucs with the biggest game of the season looming next week. This team is alot better than their record indicates. Gholdson will be playing this time as well. It'd be a huge advantage is Revis has to sit with a groin injury, when he played Smitty man to man he did a good job, and Tampa has been playing him in more man lately.

Anyway this game worries me. Zona and 49ers are right behind carolina, can't afford to lose this one.

Hopefully my front 4 shows up this time, Glennon was able to get pretty comfortable last meeting. Hopefully by the end of Sunday Glennon will have to "Ice Up!!!!!"

[Thomas]

That thud was the Bucs returning to Earth. They played well enough early but the Panthers simply wore them down.

[Brandon]

thanks for sucking when I play the Carolina D.

[Thomas]

Huh huh...you said sucking D

[Thomas]

The end of a very unfortunate era (one of many) for the Bucs. I hope they do get Lovie Smith.

[CanadianHalo]

I hear Marty Hurney is looking for a job...

[Brandon]

Chan Gailey is the front runner

lol

[bucbrett]

Per Jay Glazer, the Bucs and Lovie Smith are finalizing a contract to make him head coach tonight!

4 year deal with a team option for 5. Over 5 mil per.

[Thomas]

Jeff Tedford to be his offensive coordinator, a source confirmed. Smith will also bring in Rod Marinelli as his defensive coordinator

[Thomas]

Funny they would address coach before GM. I wonder if they already have someone in mind.

[RallyMo]

JT!

KC did the same thing with Reid and Dorsey. Alter and deviate the whole power trip notion.

[Jason]

Tampa Bay is not far away from being contenders IMO. They need some O and D line upgrades and they should be fine. Glennon isn't the best but I think he is better than many other options.

Love the new helmets. A picture came out of the jerseys today and I pretty much like any new jerseys. Sports jerseys have become dreadfully boring, so I like the new ones
