Well that was a very ugly Offensive game and a very gritty defensive performance.

I'm very happy with the win on the east coast with a 1pm start time.

I'm very concerned about CP's interceptions and who doesn't think BA played it safe to ensure another pick wasn't thrown at the end?

I don't want to take credit for the win today, but I missed the entire game except for the last few minutes which I heard on the radio. Tampa Bay had just run the ball on first down for four yards deep in their own territory and Wolfley says they wouldn't be foolish enough to throw the ball when they can just run it. However he noted they had taken chances early in the game. Well, they threw the ball and it was intercepted. The rest is history.

What can I say, if I hadn't turned the radio on at this exact time the Cardinals would have lost the game. :D

Defense was great today, giving up only a short-yard TD drive and a long FG. Offense looked like poop for most of the game.

Thank God that TB didn't have a competent QB to make us pay for our QB play.

Tampa has one of the best defenses in the league. This gets overlooked because they've struggled mightily on offense.

Allowing 16 and 23 against two of the best offensive teams is pretty damn impressive.

I think had the team looked to get Fitz open more rather than throwing 500 RB screens in the first half, we go into half time with points. Zero targets in one half is embarrassing.

not sure you can count Tom Brady throwing to me, Ouchie and Section 11 one of the best offensive teams in the league. they've shown nothing this year as far as being good.

Tom Brady throwing to you, Ouchie and Section 11 would still be one of the most potent offenses in the league.

Aside from Moss and Welker, how many Pats WRs excelled outside of NE?

BS. Have you watched them this year? they've been incredibly mediocre.

and you bring up Moss and Welker, but neglect to mention he doesn't have either of his Pro-Bowl TEs...hell, he doesn't even have his replacement for Welker and they're playing their 34th running back.

Sure I have, and the loss of talent has affected them. But Tom Brady is still Tom Brady until proven otherwise.

But none of what you said supports your notion that the Bucs are a bad defensive team. 15.8 ppg and four total TDs allowed thus far say otherwise.
