Agree with everyone ….TIVO shows this was a pick 100% without a doubt. He had two feet in and total control of the ball. The ball moved (between his hand and shoulder pad), but never did it bobble in between. I know we cant challenge under 2 min, but something should’ve been done bc if a regular dude like me says immediately after that play to challenge and it didn’t happen….well, it just doesn’t make sense. Heck, Minn even kicked the field goal quickly after that play (like they knew). Glad we won and that’s the most impt thing!

I love this team. Love the direction we’re going. However, unless we fix our pass D we are not going to the playoffs with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan in our division. I’ll say that with one exception….IF we stay away from the 3 man rush and put pressure on these guys then we have a chance to become a much better pass defense. I believe what killed us against the Saints was the 3 man rush. He had all day to throw but the receivers were still way too open. You have 8 men back to cover the pass no receiver should be as open as the Saints receivers were. We HAVE to pressure the QB and force turnovers. We are starting to put it all together and if Bowers is truly healthy then he and Michael B could make this pass rush much better immediately.

As Bill and others agreed, that was a pick. I watched the replay several times. How in the world was that not challenged? I guess more important was how well the young man played. I really loved what I saw of him but that was definitely a pick. My slow motion TIVO proves it.

Steve, I live in Southern Cali and will be at that game too. I’m going with one more fellow buc fan. You should email me and get together for a beer. Dtecnique7@gmail.com.

Yeah sadly we will probably need to win the division to make the playoffs. The Falcons aren’t going anywhere and we will lose a tie breaker with the Redskins, cowboys and giants. Baring a miraculous run I don’t see us making the playoffs but one thing is for sure. The Bucs are dangerous!

I just checked on playoff situation and we could go 9-7 or 10-6 if we played solid and win the winnable games the rest of the season.. but I don’t think its enough.

Chicago and Green Bay are going to fight to the end and whomever loses will get a wildcard. I also look to the west and Seattle has a very easy schedule with the rest of the season. They are 4-3 and very easily take the 2nd wild card. I don’t think that the East will have a wildcard team because they implode on themselves but it should be noted that so far all of the East have tiebreakers on us (We play the Eagles later and I counted that as a win).

I think we’ll end the season with a good record but I don’t see it probable of us getting into the playoffs.. Btw, I did the research because I was excited about the chances.

I never liked Macdonald. He gets beat like a drum and doesn’t seem to learn.

If we’re going to get beat like a drum on the nickel or dime back, let johnson get more reps and let him clean up his game.

And yes, that was a pick…

Is Johnson going to get more snaps? Because that kid is a diamond in the rough and can ball

What a great game in all phases….I will be taking the drive down to Oakland to watch that game, hopefully not getting stabbed by the Raider fans as Im done up in my Buc Gear…front row on the 45!!!

Carson Palmer is more Christian Ponder then Drew Brees…I like our chances.
