@Bobby,

Can you please type that part about our offense over and over again. I was beginning to think I would never be able to see that, but I like the way it sounds.

Definitely Freeman’s fault on the fumble. You don’t hand the ball off to you back on his left shoulder pad. No way for Blount to tuck that in. I’m with most of you. Way to early to talk playoffs and we have a sieve for a defensive secondary too much of the time. They do get a lot of picks but they give up too many big plays. If we can fix that then yes…we have a playoff caliber offense.

I personally think he took Doug Martin out to try to give Blount some confidence, as well as resting Martin. Surprisingly to most of us, there were definitely some holes opened up in the running game, so Blount should have gotten some yards as well. He just doesn’t look right anymore. Very hesitant, and seems to go down on first contact. I don’t know if it’s in his head, but this is not the same Blount from 2010.

@BigMacAttack

He takes out Doug because he is a rookie and if ride him to the ground now the remaining season he will be banged up. Look at what happened to caddy.

So they don’t work on timing in practice. There was no timing issue when he was doing handoffs when Blount ran for 1000 yards. I don’t think anyone will buy that BS.

The fumble was on Freeman, not Blount. That being said, going from Martin to Blount is like going from a Ferrari to a Buick. And to think, there were so many of you saying that Blount is the better back and should be starting. I think it’s safe to say we can chalk this one up to the coaching staff being right, don’t you think?

I remember a while back, Eric said Blount hadn’t done anything that looked special. I ask you this Eric: What do you think about him now?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now officially have an offense.

I would like to say that I am officially an idiot for ever criticizing Mike Sullivan as a playcaller. He is in a zone like no playcaller in Tampa Bay history, aside from Gruden during the playoffs in our Super Bowl year. I am so impressed by the job he has done.

I know this game wasn’t perfect, but we are in no position to be nit picking about how we win. When you are 4-4 and haven’t won a playoff game in 10 years, you take a win however you get them. As long as we score more points than the other team when the game is over, I will be very happy.

I agree with Ian. Blount is so slow it throws the timing off on a handoff whereas Martin gets the ball much faster. Freeman looked as though he was holding the ball forever before Blount ran too far away to get it. And slowly. It was Blount that caused Freeman too drop it.

But I blame Schiano for taking Martin out. Schiano almost gave the game away and Martin would have easily ran for 300 yds and a new rookie record. Then Schiano took 14 away from him at the end of the game wit a 2 score lead. Our HC has a lot to learn but he’s doing a good job overall, but almost gave this one away.

Great pick by Ahmad Black.

It didn’t hit him in the chest. It hit more around the left shoulder pad and bounced out. It’s ON Freeman. BUT the defense did do the job. Stopped the drive until guess who screwed that up??
