How Awful Were The Bucs Sunday?
September 28th, 2009Peter King, of SI.com, describes just how rotten the Bucs were yesterday with a simple point in his quality Monday Morning Quarterback column.
Tampa Bay, in the first 50 minutes AT HOME Sunday, managed 30 net yards against a Giants team missing two huge pieces from the front-seven puzzle — Justin Tuck and Chris Canty.
King also forgot someone else: The Giants were without stud safety Kenny Phillips. So New York was without three of its top three players on defense and the Bucs, playing in miserable hot weather where teams from the north are supposed to melt in, played like a Division III team.
King goes on to write how the only team in the NFL worse than the Bucs are the Browns. Oh, and King wants Josh Johnson to play more.
