Nauseating Weekend
January 10th, 2011
Watching the Saints-Seahawks game nearly made Joe want to cry.
If you were like Joe you watched the wild card playoffs this weekend. If you were like Joe you were ill.
Of course, gawking at/visiting with Courtney the Bartender Saturday helped Joe as did the Vicodin Joe is currently prescribed. In fairness, Joe needed to chug Pepto Bismol.
The Saints-Seahawks made Joe want to vomit. Not because it was wasn’t a good game. It was a helluva good game. But the Bucs should have been in it.
Peter King understands Bucs fans queezy feeling this weekend, writing in his must-read Monday Morning Quarterback.
Bucs had to be sick watching that game Saturday in Seattle. In the last two weeks of the season, they beat the Seahawks by 23 and the Saints by 10.
Exactly! The Bucs, had they played their cards right, should have been in that game and easily could have won. The Bucs would still be alive in the playoffs.
Good thing for Joe that Coutney the Bartender is just a short walk from Joe’s abode, and Joe still has Vicodin left on his prescription.

We’re left to wonder “what if?”
January 10th, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Uh, we would’ve played in Philly, not Seattle…
January 10th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
if we beat detroit we wouldve been ahead of new orleans as the 5 seed. I think thats what joe meant
January 10th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Yeah, but if that’s the case, New Orleans doesn’t let Chase Daniels come in the game in week 17…
January 10th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
^^That doesn’t matter. We would have won anyway….Chase Daniels isn’t on Defense.

…..Every southern belle is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans…..

Let it go. The Giants were in front of the Bucs. Ifs and Buts. The Bucs also should have lost to Cinncy and the Redskins. It all evens out. They will have a tough time making the playoffs next year. They wont sneak up on the teams

I heard today on NFL Live that a player can’t be traded that is currently under contract until the new Labor Agreement is in place. So if Harbaugh wants JJ, he can’t trade for him anytime soon. The other option for Harbaugh IMO is Cam Newton. With the 7th pick, they could probably get him.

Joe, your feelings reminded me of this, but in a good way:

Hitler finds out the Saints lost…WARNING, VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK SUBTITLES.

It’s done guys. The silver lining is the Bucs should come into next season even more hungry.
January 10th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
You may have covered this but I missed it if you did. Why are the Bucs picking after the Giants? The Giants would have made the playoffs ahead of the Bucs.

Wow, Cam Newton as the 7th overall pick?? You’re kidding right?

Did anyone else notice that both the Saints & Seahawks ran Raheem’s 3-3-5 on a couple plays? The Seahawks sacked Brees the first time I saw them run it. Copy cat league.
January 11th, 2011 at 12:40 am
It’s not like the 3-3-5 is some new defense…

Casey Matthews is projected as a 4-5 rounder on this site: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=70823&draftyear=2011&genpos=ILB , which means almost absolutely nothing.
Regardless, I wouldn’t mind seeing the Bucs taking him to replace Ruud. Can’t ask for better pedigree than a Matthews. Looks like he’s had a solid career at Oregon too.

Mark Wolff:
Bucs pick 20th overall.
Adrian Clayborn?
January 11th, 2011 at 1:28 am
Clayborn is a beast!
Although he’s had his turn punching cabbies…
January 11th, 2011 at 2:29 am
HIRE GREG OLSON!:
LOVE Clayborn’s hands. He didn’t have that great of a senior season (maybe because he was a marked man?) so it’s very likely he drops a little.
Joe can’t remember the game, it may have been Wisconsin, that Clayborn overran the quarterback from the right side, but had the presense of mind of, when he was being pushed past the quarterback by an offensive tackle, reached back with his left hand (mind you he was past the quarterback) and flipped the ball out of the quarterback’s hands.
THAT was some serious hand-to-eye coordinator.

They beat New Orleans and Seattle. But they didnt beat Detroit. And that is why the Bucs are sitting home.

@HIRE GREG OLSON!: “Uh, we would’ve played in Philly, not Seattle…”
If we had beat the Lions, we would have been 11-5, won the tiebreaker with NO, and played at Seattle.
Just sayin’…
January 11th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Damn Joe, you better be careful with all of those pills. And remember, never mix opiates and alcohol, remember what happened to Jimmy Hendicks….?
January 11th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Buddhaboy:
Joe suspects Jimi Hendrix had more than one (prescribed) Vicodin and more than one beer in the hours leading to his passing.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Damn, i knew that didnt look right when i typed his name.

================================
And like I said before, New Orleans wouldn’t have put Chase Daniels in during the fourth quarter of a game that meant something to their seeding….
Haven’t you ever seen a time-travel movie?? Once you mess with the space-time continuum all variables are subject to change….

Hire,
Whatever you say McFly…..er I mean Doc!

@Oar
lol
January 11th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
@HIRE GREG OLSON!: Yeah, yeah, yeah. MAYBE. But we were still winning at the time 😛
