The way we played Tampa

I'm pretty sure this is a troll thread. I don't really care if it is or isn't, but I'm quite certain it is, and I'm surprised everyone is taking it seriously.

If by chance it IS serious, then... well... I guess Tampa is the decider for worthiness.

I'm just glad to hear that the Browns finished off a perfect 0-16 campaign. There is something magical about that record. Apparently their owner agrees.

Last week was a tough spot. The game was tight all day. The Saints played hard. The Bucs played hard. I truly expect a better showing this week in the Dome.

Hopefully the Tampa game serves as a wake up call. It is disturbing that the team didn't seem to be able to get up for that game with the division on the line. Having said that, none of that matters now. Time to get it together and make the push.
As far as remembering the tampa game? We finished 0-3 in 2009 on our way to the superbowl and that is nothing but a side note now.

Not meaning to be rude, Rugby, but that is a you problem.

I am always disappointed with any loss, but I knew it meant nothing in the long run.

Hope your hand gets better soon.

I'm not sure what's so soul crushing about this loss, this is a league of parity after all. It's disappointing sure, I was there and splurged for a good seat so you know I was damn well disappointed but we're still in the playoffs, we still won the division, and god damn it we are 11-5 and there's no shame in that given the strength of the NFC this year!
Tampa despite their record has not be an easy game for almost anyone. 7 of their 11 losses were by 6 points or less which included the Pats, ATL, Carolina, and Detroit. They just finally managed to finish one out against a division revival.

I think after this game its obvious Drew is shot.

With talented guys like Snead, Hill and Coleman alongside Thomas, how could we not score 40 per game.

At least my name was not mentioned in this thread.

If we lose this weekend it won't be because of the bucs game, it will be because of Carolina having more recent playoff experience.
