Well at least we will get a good draft pick, maybe even top 10 the way things are going. We have 3 tough games and 6-10 looks very realistic with a new DC in 2013′.

Yesterday was a major downer. I have been saying they will be 8-8 up until that game concluded. 6-10 seems where we are going. Drew Brees, Sam Bradford and whoever the Falcons backup is in that last game will shred this pass defense. The Draft is coming. So lets shore up that defense or use that higher pick to get a new QB. I like Josh as a person. But it depends which Josh shows up on gameday that has us all commenting today. Wright is the new problem child. They should send him packing. Talents vs. problems. They should cut their losses. All I know is my season tickets get paid monthly and I’ll keep paying to see this. I have seen worse in the past 40 years. I really would have been thrilled with 8-8.

What’s funny is that Zuttah blame the holding and not being consistent and maintaining drive. (Freeman and the O Line ill time penalties.)

Ronde Barber in so little words said, We didn’t make plays when we need it. We had some lapse in coverage.We are not good enough… Especailly on the back end. (Cornerback need to step up!!!)

Both are basically saying what I and other rational people been saying. Yes Freeman didn’t play well the first half. He threww two TDs despite the bad start. What ronde said that we had a two score lead and couldn’t protect that lead. End of Story. It’s game which both side could’ve played better. The pass defense has been horrible all season. It’s a clear weakness and more of a weakness than Freeman. Everyone Like the TBA that Schiano talked about, but want to blame him for not holding on to the lead. SMH.

Hard to believe that Foles was sacked six times and still won the game for his team. Last week the excuse for Freeman was he got rattled because of pressure and having to move.

Freeman is just not consistent. Going into this game everyone KNEW we had to score points. The secondary sucks. We did not score enough points. That is offense and that falls on the leader of the offense. Foles found a way to win and Freeman did not.

Continuing to hold out for Freeman is holdong the Bucs franchise back…. Several games this year the Bucs would have won IF they just had a better, certainly more consistant QB!

I’m not speaking for everyone. I’m saying where was these gripe earlier? Where was the complain when thing going good? Where was the let’s get rid of Freeman during the winning streak?

I’m saying there is too much over reaction going on. I said in all my post today that Freeman had a bad first quarter, but he did put 2 scoring touchdown on the board. I can see he didn’t throw a td at all then I would be very concern. But, that’s not the case. He had the team in position to win when it matter most. The Team I cheer and and get mad over is call the “Tampa Bay Buccaneers.” Folk acting like this team is called the “Tampa Bay Josh Freeman.” They didn’t play good as a team the whole game. The Defense kept us close in the first 3 quarter and collapse in the fourth. The Offense wasn’t that good the first half, but put up points in the 2nd half that was enough to win the game.

This is the same qb that everyone was saying wow he’s breaking alot of our franchise record on offense. The same offense that folks saying this the best offense ever in it history. Just look at the number and you see he’s having a very good season.

I dont think the defense is hurting Josh. In the first half our defense played great. Besides the last couple minutes of that half. But It seems like the Freeman haters dont look at the fact he gave the team the lead late in the 4th. I see the argument the Josh isnt as good as some think. And that hes not consistent enough. But the fact is we had the lead. And the Defense gave it up once again. If you wanna blame him for sucking in the first half. Well I agree 100% with you.

Pelbuc I agree with your assessment of his accuracy it’s not consistent enough. As far as come back win 8 of his first 14 games were 4th quarter comebacks and this yr look at the SD and CAR games, I mean you can argue his accuracy but his knack for the comeback and winning games late can not be disputed.

What the Freeman supporters believie is that the defense is hurting Josh. But Freeman’s role is to lead the offense. If Bucs score just a field goal in the first half, we win. I’ve never seen a sence of urgency in the kid and as A life long Bucs fan since their creation, we’ve only had game managers as QB (except Doug Williams). When you know your defense cannot hold a lead and win the game, then you need a QB that can and Freeman is not up to the task. Apparently, Schiano knew this when they ran on 3rd and 8. I say let him play out his final contract year and draft a QB in the 3rd round to see if a fire lights under him. All the injuries on defense are NOT an excuse for his poor play.
