No reason why it can't happen again. I believe the defense will do what it's supposed to do. I'm actually more concerned about Drew. He's been slightly off on a lot of passes. Its weird. And this isn't something I just noticed. I've been saying it since after the Super Bowl. But I think we win pretty easily. 34-13.
Hes getting older. It happens. Our line is really missing Kromer and he did pretty well in spite of pressure Sunday. I think the offense will start clicking, we have always started off shakey on that front.

Re: Enough Gloating. Bucs Next

WHY exactly are people so scared of Tampa, why are they scared of playing IN Tampa? I guess I just don't really get it.

I suppose people are just spooked about the game where Payton broke his leg...??? Because other than that, or games where we haven't played our starters for the whole time, we have NEVER had a problem handling Tampa, under Sean Payton.

The reality is that when we NEED to beat them, it always happens very easily. We always come prepared. We always bring our game. The games we drop, we either drop them because we don't NEED to win them, or because coach breaks his flippin' leg in the first quarter.

We have put beatdowns on them in the sun, in the heat, before. We have put beatdowns on them in the Dome before.

Tampa Bay are extremely poorly coached, as evidenced by their loss at the end of their game yesterday on a stupid -- and avoidable -- penalty. And if God forbid the game next week is kinda close, their thick-necked, ham-headed coach will find a way to lose it for them.

That game in Tampa last year? Yeah, it wasn't a lot of fun, but remember this -- we were ahead on the scoreboard for more time of the game, with a lead, than we were ever behind. We were up two scores comfortably in the third, but then Spanowedon't worked his magic and let the Bucs put together two back-to-back 65+ yard drives in the blink of an eye. And no Payton to boot.

Enough Gloating. Bucs Next

Did anyone see the Jets game? I am looking at the stats and either the Jets defense is damn good or TB isnt all that this year.

Freeman ~ 15/31 210 yards 1 TD 1 INT
Martin ~ 24 / 65 yards 1 TD
Jackson had a good game 7 / 154 yards
Williams 4 / 52 1 TD

Fairly one dimensional? EG dont have to worry about 4 good recievers

Saints just need to play their game. Bucs were barely in a position to beat the arguably worst team in the Jets.
It is their home opener and the sting of that loss will be fresh.

That's gotta be some kind of record.

Saints have to recover from a hard didivsional game already, and then play another - one down at a time.

13 penalties against the Jets. Last one cost them the game. I know they some talent but seems like they have way more attitude problems than anything else.

We are 8-6 against Tampa Bay since Sean Payton has been here. .500 against them prior to last year's 2 game sweep. So no, we haven't always "handled" Tampa Bay. The worst kind of losses are the one where people just sit there and think it's a gimme.

I sure as hell hope we don't bring this same type of mindset some of our fans have into the game. Underestimating your opponents thinking you're better than everyone else will come back and bite you in the ass. The Bucs have plenty of weapons... we need to be prepared.
