Week 6 Sunday Wrap Up - Page 2

The next two are the biggest challenges like I mentioned... I'm not discounting the saints, just saying if we win the next two the harder part of the next 5 games is done.

I seriously doubt Gruden game planned giving Warrick Dunn the rock so much. He was pretty much forced to play Earnest Graham at FB which explains the drastic change in carry ratio.

The Bucs Defense was dominant today. Talib, Brooks, Phillips and Jackson all made some big time plays which is extremely comforting. If the D can remain healthy I think the Buccaneers could be a legitimate dark horse in a pretty cloudy NFC.

You read the article on nfl.com? Just assumed Graham was pushed into the role after watching the game, but after reading that i've got bigtime respect for him.

1 more breakthrough and we've got this test.

Nah haven't read the article. Graham did a great job subbing in as our #3 FB.

I misunderstood what you said. My bad.

Basically the entire NFC South is a darkhorse at this point...

But yeah, Panther fans: masters of overreacting

That is what I learned this week. IF you went to a panther board (not here) you would think we were 1-4 and every starter just shattered their kneecaps. Sigh, I think I am at a point that I can't stand Panther fans.

Aye, I know to which you are referring. We're either getting the first overall pick or breaking the pats record.

Yeah, I mean I enjoyed the wins last week, but I also knew that they won't always happen and that the Bucs are hardly the Chiefs. But at the same time I am not wanting to tear the team down after this last game.

Portis is probably my favourite RB at pass blocking. Whenever he flattened Kiwanuka against the Giants was amazing. Either him or Jones-Drew

Nah, I just don't think he's a bust.

He could and probably should be a better player than he is. I think he is with any other team. If they want, they can dump him on the Jets.

BlindSite · 10-13-2008, 11:17 PM

I agree he's not exactly got the supporting cast to be amazing and if Manning was throwing him the ball he'd be better, but he isn't even a top 15 tight end right now imo.

That would require the Niners to continue not being dumb and throw to him.
