September 9th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
FYI, tons of empty seats at the CITS.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
David was shot out of a cannon on 1st down. Woo!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
That Mike Barron guy looked pretty bad on that play lol
September 9th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
GMC making a play? Who? Wha?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
@Joe
Sounds pretty loud on TV
September 9th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Almost a three and out
September 9th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
Is David is making d calls?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Fair catch for crying out loud
September 9th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
WOO Doug Martin looking good. Delivered a nice blow on the safety
September 9th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Man Doug looks quick. He’s gonna break some big runs this year Captain Obvious I know.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
Three first downs already
September 9th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Lorig with the hands AND some quicks? What’s going on here?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
@flmike
I coulldn’t tell. Who was in the middle of the huddle?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
DOUGH MARTIN!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
Wow
September 9th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
*Doug
September 9th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Would someone please send me a link to vertstang86@yahoo.com
I’d appreciate it.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Sure as hell is not Greg Olsen’s Offense
September 9th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
If anyone wants to help me out with a link…
rck4lyf3@aim.com
September 9th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
This is what a versatile back looks like folks. Sorry I love Blount just like the next guy but our entire offense is opened up now.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Great throw, great catch under blitz pressure.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
huge difference with Doug in. We are now seeing how Blount pigeon toed the offense.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
I’m in heaven right now. It can’t possibly get any better than this.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
What, no slow start this year?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
No Slow start!!!! That’s Buc ball right there.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
Anybody online at the game/stadium?
Panthers Defense looks tired already,
is it hot and Muggy?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
Wow
points in the first quarter
September 9th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
@the_buc_realist
Pigeon toed! Pigeon holed! All of the above! lol
September 9th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Mile Williams…gonna have a great yr
September 9th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
touchdown Tampa Bay!!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
TD…awesome!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Bucneckid, I am about 30 minutes from the stadium, and it is actually MORE pleasant out than usual, with all the rain.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
That beard
September 9th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Defense looks big & mean; offense very efficient, passing short, & Martin looking like a star. catching or running.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
So far Bucs Run Defense looks solid
September 9th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Yup, he’s calling the d
September 9th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
@flmike
You were right. David’s calling the D
September 9th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Tackling? HFS!!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Three and out
September 9th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
the_buc_realist
Bet Blount does well in the second half.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Bucs defense looks like it is picking up from where they left off…
from 2010
September 9th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Ah man I had flashbacks of Dante Wesley & Peanut on that one
September 9th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
With a Rays game in town i think that hurt the Bucs attendance some.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Flashback of Clifton Smith
September 9th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Cheap shot by Panther special teams,
AGAIN!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Ronde to the rescue!
They hit Stroughter on fair catch.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Panthers look stunned
September 9th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Firing on ALL cylinders, right now…The run game WORKS, the play action WORKS, the defense WORKS.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Reminds me of peanut!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Okay, THAT play didn’t work, lol.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
WOW. Sully & Sheridan are calling quite the game. We look well drilled in every facet of the game offensively and defensively.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Wow, really enjoying Martz, he’s a great analyst
September 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Holy crap…I am so glad I BELIEVED enough to predict 10 wins.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I’m pretty sure they have run the mall more in these first two drives than they did in the entire first game last year.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Are these announcers scabs too. They’re terrible
September 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Total yards
TB 112
Car 19
September 9th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
FREE JUST LOOKED THE D OFF TO THE LEFT THEN WENT OVER THE MIDDLE FOR A TD. THE DEFENSE GOT FAKED BY FREE. IT’S A NEW DAY IN TAMPA BAY.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
can’t watch the game, whats the rain like guys? 8/8 start would be even more impressive in a downpour
September 9th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
C’mon Larsen & Zuttah!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
10-0!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
@Oregano
Apparently we have a safety named Mike Barron
September 9th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Win or lose, they look well coached and focused!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Anybody have a link vertstang86@yahoo.com
September 9th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Yay no more slow starts !
September 9th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
10 points in two drives…sweet.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
@ MichiganBucsFan
Doesn’t even look like its raining on TV. Maybe Joe knows?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
#5 is alive baby! teams firing on all cylinders except kick off returns. Go Bucs!
September 9th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Watching on cnnsi.com. Lovin it!
As a humorous aside, for all the babbling Blount love on some sites, we see who the bell cow is.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Yes, David is calling the defense. But to be fair…they haven’t been on the field much, lol.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Coming from Charlotte, this is a great game for Bucs so far. Starting strong. Too bad its blacked out. It would excite the fan base.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
@ blackmagic00
Sully & the incomparable Ron Turner have drilled Free well. Martz’s little anecdote about Free’s helmet being all over the place last year was spot on. His mechanics were horrendous last year. He never stepped into his throws.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
It appears the Bucs have a coaching staff that believes in preparation. What a novel concept.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Cmon pass rush
September 9th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Defense is looking nice but a sack would be nice. Asking for too much?
September 9th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Great 1st quarter. Exactly how you want to start a game.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
@Joe
the radio team even says that the Offense has their first ten to twelve plays scripted.
Looks like they are prepared and are sticking to the plan
September 9th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
we need more points…although the game is going by fast. At this rate we will finish the game be 6:30
September 9th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
@Joe.
This coaching staff also believes in coaching up and using the players strength. That too is a novel concept that was not seen last year.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Bucs 10 – Carolina Kitties nuthin, start of 2nd quarter
September 9th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Ready for some SACKS, now.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
@Joe
The previous staff most assuredly prepped as much if not more than this staff…they just didn’t know what they were doing.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Great start.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
NOT fooled. NOPE.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
They didn’t stop him from getting a first…but it was good effort.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Who gave that weak ass push?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Way to go Ronde…then E. Wright gets played. *Sigh* Where’s Talib? lol
September 9th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Am I seeing things right or is McCoy and Miller rotating positions?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Hah!!!! A dounble Ben-d around and Ronde stopped it lol
September 9th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
His helmet came off. He out the next play
September 9th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
SACK!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
YES. SIR. Great play call Sheridan.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
@ SilenceTheCritics
Yup. GMC was playing 1 tech on that last play
September 9th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Okay, he made up for the push on that coverage.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
SensibleBuc
E-Wright didn’t get played. He saved the play.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Quincy made a play??? Nice.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
WHO GOT CREDIT FOR THAT SACK?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Anyone now a link the one im using is messing up ? Hugog320@yahoo.com
September 9th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Should be black.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
@Pete
Getting played = Stiff armed in the face. It’s ok, he didn’t quit and chased him down so he made up for it
September 9th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Ray
Helmet comes off
off next play
i think is a college rule only
September 9th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Joe here,
QUincy Black on the sack. Gary Gibson with pressure up the gut. Almost seemed like a busted play. Hard to tell.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
@Dutcher.. I would just put team.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
Here comes Blount!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:07 pm
I love the coaching by Schiano. He told Blount to cut that freaking guy next time lol
September 9th, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Great catch! Panthers defense is making stupid mistakes…Look alot like our guys did last year.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
that tip pass was blount fault, no idea why that guy cannot block
September 9th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Hmmm. Blount just blocked on that last play?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Buckneckid
I appreciate your explanation there but I know this. That was just my feeble attempt at being funny. I know the sarcasm doesn’t come through too well in writing. Go Bucs
September 9th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Hurdlin dudes again Geez
September 9th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
LMAO! Well done Blount
September 9th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Let me just say…offensive line is doing great so far.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Are you f**king kidding me! Blount’s on fire now! Imagine that. Catching a ball, too…
September 9th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
OH CRAP.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Probably the groin again
September 9th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Blount down, holding right knee!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
cramp maybe, if it was a knee you don’t kick your leg like that
September 9th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Hopefully just a dam cramp…
September 9th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Maybe a cramp the way he was kicking his leg out?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:13 pm
Don’t see any comments on this site. Do we have a problem?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:13 pm
course i am a doctor
September 9th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Looks like LGB tried to shake off a knee injury
September 9th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
I thought was punch drunk with the way he was wobbling like that.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
I hope your right about it being just a cramp
September 9th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Hope Blount not serious…we have zero depth.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
FROZEN ROPE, great 22 yard completion.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
We havent seen that VJax in cut on those buccaneers.com videos like 1000 times.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
THERE’S the scramble! Twelve yards!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Nice run Free!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
@Pete
LOL well done
September 9th, 2012 at 5:16 pm
Freeman is moving nice in that pocket! Sullivan’s wacky drills seem to have worked!
I knew Josh not running in preseason was smoke and mirrors.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Freeman is actually doing very good play-action fakes, i used to think that if it was not for Marino that Freeman was the worst at fake hand offs
September 9th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
That’s a big dude. Punch this thing with the Hamster
September 9th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Nicks earned his $ there
September 9th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Nix just moved a mountain for extra yards
September 9th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
I think Nicks got them an extra three yards for that.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
We need a real FullBack!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Dayum.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Man I hope the bucs don’t burn out Martin like they did the Caddy.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
@the_buc_realist
Lorig has been tatooing people this game and he actually has hands now. He’s fine.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Can’t blame not getting a TD this time around on Nicks. He cleaned his guy completely out of the hole on those last two plays.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
ZERO BUCS Penalties so far
September 9th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Dominating time of possession which is great but we need TDs.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Taken 2 with Liam Nelson…sweet.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Meaningless FG there. Needed 7.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
@sensibleBuc
if you mean no puch on a block is “tatooing” then yes, i don’t care if a fullback has 2 or 3 catches, i would rather see push on the line of scrimmage.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
I agree with Silence…we need to put our foot on their throat. Otherwise there is danger of a comeback.
Of course, our defense is fresh too.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
@the_buc_realist
And you’re basing that one what exactly? Him getting stalemated on a goal line play by Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason? Gotcha.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
*on
September 9th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
I wasn’t sure if he made that catch…glad they challenged. Coaches were right there.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Called a time out anyway
September 9th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
The receiva had two feet in bounds!! lol
September 9th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
haven’t seen a pushoff like that since win-slow
September 9th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
^worth a time out anyway
September 9th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Way to go GMC!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Oooh, so close!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
good hussle, bad finish McSofty
September 9th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
Someone tell Dini you’re supposed to rip his head off
September 9th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
Wow…I hope Newton takes chances like that the whole game.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
No points. Gotta gave it at half. Let’s go D.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
the_buc_realist
LOL. Newton was stupid throwing that away…those moves usually end in a pick. McCoy did great.
He’s doing great on all the plays.
What I like so far is that even if there is an occasional mistake the defense recovers and stops the drives.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Nice work, Foster.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Where is Miguel Grande? Is he at the game? @Joe is there anyone at the game wearing a large sombrero and taking a siesta?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
caught In between five defenders
September 9th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
The was a good catch.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Ronde on the sack! lol
September 9th, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Good GOD, he is fast…They had him back 17 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Forced out of bounds behind line of scrimmage –
Does that count as a sack for Barber?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
@pete
great would have been to finish the play ( Like Coach Schiano is always talking about, ) McSofty did good to get pressure and grab the quarterback, let the quarter back drop 3-4 yards and still made a throw.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Sack for Barber
September 9th, 2012 at 5:40 pm
Pick 6 here. Now.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:40 pm
sack for barber
September 9th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Kitties can’t handle the noise of that non sellout crowd!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
the_buc_realist
Lol…I notice you haven’t said the same on anyone else. No agenda there is there?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
these refs are soo slow.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
STILL ZERO PENALTIES
September 9th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Is our ref british?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
snook
Now that was funny, lol.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
GMC…again with his 4th or 5th pressure. Strange.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Sheffield ?!?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
i expect big thing from gmc as does most, that is my agenda. i would like to see him be great, not just good
September 9th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Did he just fake a punt catch?????
September 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
I f-in hate Carolina.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
This team looks GREAT. Better than I expected. I know it is early, and much can go wrong, but:
1) They showed up PREPARED
2) Defense is NOT panicking when they make mistakes
3) Good pressure on QB
4) NO penalties
5) Free looking VERY good
September 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
@Ray
Yeah. He’s at every game. I feel like he’s Tampa’s lone celebrity. lol
September 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Before the season started
If somebody told you it would only be 13-0 at half time,
You’d be happy.
BUT
the score is 13-0 actually Bucs though
what do you think aout that?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
No, Massachusetts or one around it, but not British.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Very good half. Defense is disruptive and effective. Offense is on fire just need to finish off with TDs. Penalty free and keep up the pressure on Cam and I think we walk away with a W!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Amazing how Newton can’t do much when he actually faces a team with a defense.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Shut out for the entire half!
Cam is looking like the Michael Vick did during his later years in Atlanta…when the Bucs had his number.
Falcons won.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Where is Miguel Grande? Is he at the game? @Joe is there anyone at the game wearing a large sombrero taking a siesta?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
night and day from the Rah/dom regime
September 9th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
according to espn.com panthers have -1 rushing yards right now : )
September 9th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
One word for the D: FAST
September 9th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Josh is 12 of 15…Sullivan bump!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Well, I’d say that’s about as good as it can get for a half of football. Three possessions and three scores. I know the McCoy haters are gnashing their teeth that he’s having a great game. LOL! Now if we can just duplicate that play in the second half….. If we can score a TD when we get the ball to start the second half I think it will break their back.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Against any other qb besides RG3 or Vick GMC has 2.5 sacks in this game. But overall a great half of football by this Tampa bay team!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Love this game so far… wish I could be there in person! GMC looking good. Lorig showing he’s not just a converted DE, David and Barron flying around, VJax and Clark in the mix. Beautiful. Let’s keep this up for another 30 minutes…
September 9th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
@Drew hahaha
September 9th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
idk that i would call mccoy fast, maybe… active.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Do we know whats up with Blount yet?
September 9th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
i am not positive, but i think i saw Miguel Grande. past out in the back off his Isuzu truck with a bottle of tequilla on gandy beack ( the redneck rivera) but i was driving pretty fast.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
NICE
September 9th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
One of the best starts I have seen in a long time. I would like TD’s instead of FG’s. but they are points on the board.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
@buc_realist
I thought that might be the case.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
LMAO @ “his isuzu truck” That’s messed up.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
I just figured out what’s wrong with Carolina’s offense. Mike Shula is their new QB coach this year.
I’m not joking.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Mccoy has been quick to get in the backfield. Getting juked hard by Cam, but not many other qb’s will be able to elude the pressure.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Proud of this display & transformation into a physical, focused team.. Hut Damn it that is a lot of points left out there.
September 9th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
delay
September 9th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Weather alert?! Noooooo, I waited so long for bucs football!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Rain delay. That’s not lightning…the Bucs are electrifying!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Proud? I’m stoked, but why is a fan proud? What role did the fan play?
September 9th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
That’s not lightning, it’s Miguel Grande lighting Tequila fart$ on Gandy.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Biglebowski
Positive thoughts….oh, wait…thesexare Tampa fans!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:04 pm
I am happy the way they have played so far but to me the best thing has been the penalties or lack of them.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
“Proud? I’m stoked, but why is a fan proud? What role did the fan play?”
Yeah? Well that’s just, like…Your OPINION, man!
The Dude would not abide your pedantry.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Wow shouldve stayed in Smitty lol
September 9th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
The only negatives in this game for us so far is the lack of TDs after long drives and the possible injury to Blount.
No halftime injury report?
September 9th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
There ya go Josh. You know what? Its clear now that he was too damn fat to actually scramble last year which is why he didn’t do it. *sigh*
September 9th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Well There it is.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
1st penalty. Hope everyone is happy for continuing to bring it up lol
September 9th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Figures… Larsen

Our first punt?
September 9th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
DJ Ware is no Kregg Lumpkin that’s for sure.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
LOL…GET OUT THE WAY, number 22!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
Link anybody please? Hugog320@yahoo.com
September 9th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
😉 Sensible
September 9th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
Linebackers in the backfield 🙂
September 9th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
A stifling D like this…I don’t even want to SAY what it reminds me of. The feeling that points would be GOOD, but a turnover is coming any play, now.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Bennett loves to go inside. Geebus man keep contain.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
David is ding great. Foster not bad.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Whoa.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:16 pm
Barron looked confused on that touchdown
September 9th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Blown coverage probably by Ronde.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Wow. He was out of bounds when he hit him though. Regular refsxwould have called it.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
I think Barron was right. It was probably cover 2
September 9th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
was barber playing too shallow?
September 9th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
Ugh. I hope. We don’t just get one half of good football.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
Barron will get fined for that in the new pussified NFL.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
@Ray
Yeah I think so. He was in Wright’s back pocket on the throw and I’ve never seen a zone with two guys in the same zone side by side lol
September 9th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
Already with the negative thoughts? Lol
Don’t give into fear.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Holding *sigh* bet it’s on Trueblood
September 9th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Got that right I think he forgot he was playing safety lol
September 9th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Cmon Larsen
September 9th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Have to love Larsen.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
field position
September 9th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Got a bad feeling this is gonna be a long second half. God dammit.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
I don’t know what is wrong with the people upthread…I am loving Mike Martz.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
Geesh!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
Trueblood suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
The Matador strikes again.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
That missed block by Zuttah on the goalline may come back to haunt.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
just saw the sign Barth vader
September 9th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
Oh, hey! Hi! I am RONDE BARBER!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RONDE!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
Ronde!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Nice throw superman spam
September 9th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Ronde
September 9th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
RONNNNNNDEEEE!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Ronde Barber is approaching ‘Greatest Buc Ever’ status. He has to be in the discussion. He has an int and a sack today, at SAFETY.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
we need a fullback that can block. might as well as put Blount in as full back.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Play calling has gotten conservative. Not as mixed up as it was in the first half. No play action.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
can we please run a screen pass
September 9th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
Dang wasted pick. Wasted fan enthusiasm. Needed at least a field goal there.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:34 pm
They must be saving play-action for the 4th quarter.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:34 pm
seems like they are afraid to pass almost, they need to stay agressive!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:34 pm
Ugly football.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
Josh… Come on please.. 4th Q .. You own it!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
At least we got the ball back on their side of the field. I’ll take that.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
Snook…take those negative vibes and keep them to yourself.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
LOL Black
September 9th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
HOLDING
September 9th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
GOT to get a helmet on Newton. He is getting confident.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
They held our guy in the pocket there.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
We must be getting pressure again if CAR is starting to hold us. I like it.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
YYYYYESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
Love that big nickel! Black pick!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
WOOO theres are future FS from gator nation!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
we brought the house on that pick, gutsy call
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
PIIIIICKKKKK
September 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
Fast Fast Defense! They are flying!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
ANOTHER pick!! WOOHOO!!! Go, Ahmad Black!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
YESSS!!!!!!!!! We have to get points on this drive Carolina is more than capable of a comeback.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Captain ovious here
It is now the Fourth Quarter
need some points
September 9th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Another pick! Woot!
Now score 6!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
Were winning turnover battle and time of possession. We need to score a TD!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
Any word on Blount?
September 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
Lets hope the extra conditioning will pay off this 4th quarter. Both teams are wearing down. lets run it down their throats.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
Bet our defense is #1 in week one 😉
September 9th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
LMAO @ Joe’s favorite PJ Fleck jumping up and down
September 9th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
a turnover and we go 3 and out. Come on were gonna give this game away like this.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Darn.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Damn we need to take advantage of these turnovers. Panthers have sucky field position though
September 9th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Are we sitting on a 6 point lead? Looks like it. Where’s the offense??
September 9th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Bennett you’ve got to be kidding me man
September 9th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Throw the red flag
September 9th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Nice discipline today on run D
September 9th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
6 yards rushing???
September 9th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
I just realized…this really is like the Dungy years. Nail-biting endings and all, lol.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
when players get tired they will revert to the sloppy Rah ways. will take awhile for Coach schiano to install all game discipline
September 9th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
WAY TO GO BARRON!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Barron = Stud!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Good job Barron!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
That’s the ole long arm Coach Ron Cooper technique!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
Goin Nuts!!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
PUNT BLOCKED!!!! TALIB!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
WOOOO blocked a punt!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
TALIB?!?!?!?!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
…and THAT’S why we drafted a safety in the first!
And Nice job on the block, Talib!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
Lets go now score!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
This is where we need Blount. Throw the big guy in there to take some time off the clock.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Sit down Stocker. Geebus.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Okay…Dominick did great in the first round this year!
Blocked punt!!!!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
The D has done everything they can. Get off your ASS offense!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Argh!! I love this, AND hate it, all at once. They are SO close to slamming the door, and then…PENALTY.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Wow, nice spin move right there!!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Freaking penalties are again killing momentum..
September 9th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Our O looks like Raheem.
That’s code for SHI*
September 9th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Luke! I am NOT your father!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
We can’t do crap in the passing game. Cmon Free
September 9th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
Running the ball. Holy sh*t.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Ware….nice pickup. Who was predicting Blount was going to be out.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
First down Bucs!!! Doooo iiiiiiiiit!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Oh yeah. We are definitely going to burn this Martin guy out. I give him 2 or 3 seasons before he is toast. AKA Caddy William.s
September 9th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
I’d be happy with 3 here.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
our receivers need to stop begging for flags
September 9th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Yes! Two score game now!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Yippee…and we gave the defense a little break.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:55 pm
JGlazer
Caddy wasn’t burned out…he was injured.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:55 pm
JGlazer, what’s wrong with you, man? If someone sent you a cake, you’d probably complain it was fattening.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:55 pm
Connor Barth Game MVP
September 9th, 2012 at 6:55 pm
Spend all that money, draft and looks the same. Good for 1 TD then FG,FG ,FG.
September 9th, 2012 at 6:56 pm
3 points makes it a two score game. Extended drive rested our defense some more. See what being positive does?
September 9th, 2012 at 6:56 pm
Wow, some of you guys must be GREAT fun at parties!
September 9th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
Ronde will be game mvp
September 9th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
Wow, some of you Negative Nellies really crack me up. We’re winning, ffs! *ROFL*
September 9th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
You beat me to the punch Pete. Caddy had a freak injury. Also, I think Caddy was too big for his frame whereas Martin carries his weight well. He doesn’t look like he’s 225 lbs
September 9th, 2012 at 6:58 pm
How do you get injured? You get beat up and beat up. Eventually you get injured.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:00 pm
with a real full back Doug would have a 100 yard game
September 9th, 2012 at 7:00 pm
GMC GETS A SACK! Just like I predicted!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
McCoy havin a great game, even if that wasnt a sack which i dont think it was.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
GMC got his sack! (GMC haters can STFU, now.)
September 9th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
McCoy in the backfield all day long. Where are the haters today?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
lol Mcsofty cannot put a quarterback on the ground, needs a ref to get a sac
September 9th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Where’s the McCoy hater Miguel Grand and Thomas 2.2?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
3 man line
September 9th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
WWOOOOO!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
Hate to say it but my feeling going into this season seems to be confirmed: the defense will be the Bucs strength and the offense will under perform relative to expectations.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
Coverage
September 9th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
LMAO our defense is so improved though its only one game.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
We wanted a more physical football team…. We have it.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
WHO CARES . SAAAAAAACK
September 9th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
side note, has Mr Thomas 2.2. been banned. i have no seen his insightful posts in a while
September 9th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
FlBoyinDallas…I remember several years when that was the case, and we went to the playoffs.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
Cammy Cam is a hard dude to corral.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
Finally some consistant penetration from our Dline!!!! Genocide? …not yet, but on our way! 😉 yAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAr!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Our defense is playing well. The D-line is firing off the ball. I don’t care if McCoy gets sacs. Disruption is just as good.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Was ruled a sack for GMC. Bennet got one also. Bucs number of defense week one.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
We need a long drive right now to finish this game off!! Come on BUCS!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Mccoy is playing awesome !
September 9th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Thomas 2.2 was banned, but he’s come back with a new account, 3.3.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
@Skookum
Not complaining man, just pointing out. I’m happy with how they’ve played today.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
^^ (something) 3.3
September 9th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Can we complete a pass? At all?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
F*CK!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Passing game is still pitiful
September 9th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Yes Thomas is banned. Weeding out the GMC haters!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Another 3 and out and barely took any time off the clock. Completely different half for the offense. I hope its just them learning the scheme still.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Jackson should have held onto that.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
Schiano seems to be mad at the offensive line…especially Penn for some reason.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
2.2 has been banned.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
good to know that you cannot keep a good man down
September 9th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
Foster has 4 tackles. 3 for a loss of yards. Awesome.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
Tolbert looks like a midget lineman running around out there.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
Over the top!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:12 pm
Pick.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:12 pm
Welp that’s actually the 1st time Talib got burned today. Been pretty quiet
September 9th, 2012 at 7:12 pm
If we lose this falls on the offense. Defense has done everything they could and then some.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:13 pm
That’s a Passing game
September 9th, 2012 at 7:13 pm
Stop them at the 7th!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:14 pm
Nice play Talib!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:14 pm
stuffed!!!! ha good show
September 9th, 2012 at 7:14 pm
Hold ’em!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:14 pm
Newton tackled by 17 Buccaneer defenders
September 9th, 2012 at 7:14 pm
NICELY DONE!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:15 pm
they bendededed but didn’t break 😛
September 9th, 2012 at 7:15 pm
Defense has played lights out. Holding them to 10 points, you cant ask for a better performance.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:15 pm
THIS MAY BE THE FIRST GAME CAM DOESNT GET A RUSHING TD!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:16 pm
That was the right call for CAR, the way the teams have been playing. We’ve got to keep holding them, though.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:16 pm
Still only aout 10 yards allowed rushing
Wow
September 9th, 2012 at 7:17 pm
Come on offense all we need is a couple first downs to put this game away!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:18 pm
Onside? Too soon?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:18 pm
We just need a couple first downs and this game is ours. Finish the game. This is what they trained so hard for. Lets go men
September 9th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
@Silence
You’re one smart man 🙂
September 9th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
our full back gets no push
September 9th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Did Martz just give Lorig a shout out?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Does anyone know what Blount’s injury is? Groin, ankle?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
We completed a pass!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Nice to see we can run out the clock.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Clutch play
September 9th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
FINALLY a completion!! lol
September 9th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
A first down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
Still gonna need another 1st down though.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
i think josh has 16 yards now for the second half
September 9th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Realist…Ixchallenge you to say something positive.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Go Doug! Give him a hundy!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Doug Martin: the definition of workhorse.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Nice run!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Another first.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Kuechly is just being taken out of the game by Lorig
Barron has made at least five stand out plays.
So i guess Barron was the better pick after all.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:25 pm
Did you see Martin dragging that defender who was holding his jersey from behind? That’s some power right there.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:25 pm
I didn’t want to say anything until the game was over but did anybody hear Kuechly’s name at all besides the end of the game?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
Wooo Love to see that victory formation. Havent seen it in soooooo long.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
Well Gentlemen its been a pleasure
September 9th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
10 game losing streak official over!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
10 total yards rushing! Run D is fixed!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
This one is in the books. I wonder…all those 6-10 predictions…did they consider this one a loss?
September 9th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
So happy for our young team and Coach S! Great win Bucs!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Welcome to the NFL Coach Shciano! Congrats on breaking that losing streak Bucs!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Great win! Nobody picked us in any of the pre game shows we just gotta keep proving everyone wrong!! GO BUCS GO!!!!!!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Buc football is back baby!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:30 pm
only Sterling Sharp picked us to win today>
September 9th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
That was a pleasure to watch. Improve each week and good things will come..
September 9th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
impressive Bucs !
September 9th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Things the Bucs showed that were essential:
1) Run defense
2) McCoy effective
3) Freeman no turnovers
4) Running game
5) Swarming, hard-nosed defense
6) Pressure on QB
7) Contain QB running threat
8) Professional coaching!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
Proud to be a Buccaneer fan! Way to go, team!!
Barber was great at safety.
Martin performed better than expected.
Barron should strike fear in our future opponents.
McCoy was an animal in the backfield blowing things up all day long.
Freeman didn’t make any dumb mistakes.
The right side of the line did better than I thought they would.
We shut down Carolina’s rushing attack!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
actually Sharpe picked us to lose, it was McNabb and Baldinger that picked us to win
September 9th, 2012 at 7:35 pm
@Ian
…and EVERYBODY on the NFL Network Countdown show picked the Panthers.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:42 pm
it was only 1 game, but what a great game against a division rival! impressive defense, good offense, and even some special special teams.
bring on the giants.
ps hope miguel payasito bet big against the bucs again.
September 9th, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Sensible: Kuechly’s name was mentioned by the announcers when they were talking about how Lorig was blowing him up!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Bahahaha
September 9th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Hey Miguel and Eric, [Eeesssee now. — Joe] AND GO BUCS!!!
September 9th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Wow awesome win! Loud crowd today. This was Buc ball with stifling defense.
Record comments yes?
September 10th, 2012 at 12:27 am
“[Eeesssee now. — Joe]”
what does ese now mean? is it a hispanic saying i don’t recognize? 😉
