The Bucs, despite having an average to subpar passing attack, are tied for the NFL lead in pass attempts which disturbs Joe.

The Bucs have a very good quarterback (NO! Not Son of Bob).

The Bucs best wide receiver is ranked No. 23 in the NFL in passing yards (Antonio Bryant).

The Bucs offensive line is more adept at running the ball.

The Bucs are No. 9 in the league in rushing yards, despite Chucky’s whining about a shortage of running backs (sort of like Bill Gates whining the computers in his house aren’t working properly).

Despite the obvious facts the Bucs have the weapons to run the ball and not as many weapons to pass the ball, this hasn’t convinced our very own Sunshine State version of Bill Walsh (who, to the surprise of some TV reporters is dead) that he shouldn’t tone down the throwing.

eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune points out the Bucs are tied for the league lead in pass attempts.

Only the Cardinals, who have played one fewer game than the Bucs, are averaging more passes than Tampa Bay, which heads into Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to face the defenseless Chiefs (1-6) before a bye week.

Joe has noticed a troubling pattern here. It seems the Bucs play down to their opponents for some reason. Denver stunk against the run, yet Chucky tries to have Son of Bob beat Denver. The Bucs lose.

The Seahawks stinks out loud yet the Bucs at home couldn’t put them away and actually kept the Seattle in the game until the final minutes despite dominating time of possession.

Dallass virtually had it’s entire defensive backfield wiped out, yet Chucky doesn’t test them with deep balls even though Antonio Bryant and the White Tiger were both on the field.

Kansas City stinks worse than the cattle manure from one of its stockyards. Yet Joe has the feeling Chucky’s going to try to be cute (as he usually does) and try to dink-and-dunk the Chiefs to death. Meanwhile, and Kansas City will be in a position to win the game in the final minutes.
