There is still hope for the Bucs. Yes the Seahawks seem to be the main roadblock right now, but what everybody seems to forget is that they will most likely be without their two best defensive players for the last three games. Both of their starting CBs are huge contributors for both the run and the pass on that D. Not having both of them WILL be a huge negative for Seatle. They will already lose one of them for the Arizona game, but that really shouldn’t matter too much against the Cards. But not having both of them for the Bills, 49ers, and Rams will be a huge hill to climb. I can easily see them dropping 2 of those last 3 games. Plus, their #3 CB, Trufant has a injured hamstring and could be out for the next 2 games. Don’t count the Bucs out so soon. There is still plenty of hope left. If they win the next 3 games, it could come down to beating Atlanta to get into the playoffs . . . witch should not be as hard as it sounds due to the fact that Atlanta will most likely sit most of their star players for that last game of the season. They will play it safe and not want to get any of their studs hurt, especially since we already showed we can play a tough physical game against them. They don’t care about us, they want to be healthy for their playoff run.

I”m confident that Vegas will have both the Cowboys and Vikings down as underdogs for all remaining games this season. They’d be lucky to win more than 2 games between them.

Sorry, but the Vikes and Cowboys could not “easily” go 3-1. They are, by far, the two worst teams of the remaining playoff hopefuls. 1-3 is more likely from either of them.

My meaning was that they could easily lose at least one game. Maybe two. Only winning one is beyond reasonable.

Regardless, the Seahawks will block us.

PLAYOFFS?? YOU GUYS ARE TALKING PLAYOFFS???

It took Schiano 3 years to win games 4 games at Rutgers and you guys have him running the table to make the playoffs.

All kidding aside, I will give the Little General major props if he can achieve .500 in his 1st year here.

PLAYOFFS???

Maybe that Bruce Allen is not as big an idiot as people around here say.

Looked like a good young team last night.

I have followed since 1976 also, and agree!
Maybe chiefsbucfan meant “clutch” purses, which in that case, we did not have any.

Funny thing is, for as many hopefuls at QB the Bucs have had, we’ve had 5 go on to other teams and reach the Super Bowl.
Doug Williams, Trent Dilfer, and Steve Young won it! Chris Chandler and Steve DeBerg(Chris’s back-up) went but lost.
Only one with the Bucs was Shaun King, who went and won, but as a third string back-up.

Yes, apparently you are wasting your time discussing because that was a Cowboys team that EASILY beat the Bucs. You’re only as good as your last game and the Eagles played tough. If you’re expecting an automatic win you might be in for a surprise.

Always figured the losses to the Giants,Redskins and Falcons would haunt this team. The Bucs lost their close game and Seattle and Washington have won theirs.
++++++++++++++++

What? So close wins against the Panthers twice, Raiders, and Chargers don’t count?

dmatt…If only Freeman could have thrown six touchdowns! Damn him! You were joking right? I do not think a Bucs QB has ever thrown 5 TDs in one game.

Some of you guys need to go back in history and check out all the “elite” QBs Tampa has drafted. it is a pretty good list. Only one lived up to his potential, but Unfotunatly Steve Young did not do it here. I am a huge Doug Williams fan, but he was not “elite” her or in Washington. Go back and check, Tampa has had a bunch of first round guys that never became elite in Tampa or anywhere else, but they had college potential. Freeman is the real deal, even if he is not elite he is above average and the best we have ever had.

@FLBoy

really??? The Eagles are playing tough football? The Eagles suck. Foles sucks and Bryce is ok. The ALMOST won 1 game against the Cowgirls and all of a sudden they are playing tough football?

The Eagles have virtually no Defense (I sure you seen how many points they given up in that game).

Foles cannot lead the Eagles to a win because he is not a good QB.

I feel like I am wasting my time even discussing this with you but ol’ well.
