* Nice to see the running game chewing up chunks of yards each run.

* Dave Moore is impressed with how fluid the Bucs offense looks given the fact Antonio Bryant and Michael Clayton have seen limited work with the first team offense.

* Geez. Not a knee injury to Cadillac… again!

* Mean Gene Deckerhoff with a funny: “I can tell Wade Phillips had a good breakfast.” Zing!

* Way to go Cadillac! Joe is beyond relieved that Cadillac didn’t injure his knee on that long run. Whew!

* Bucs got away with a face mask by Sabby.

* Old man Barber is playing young at heart. Maybe we were all wrong about Barber not being able to play in Jim Bates’ defense.

* Where would have the Bucs been last year or so far this year without Antonio Bryant?

* Moore thinks the way Greg Olson is calling plays that Dallass is already getting worn out.

* One of the drawbacks with Leftwich is his inability to throw short in the flat. That was evident when Leftwich missed a wide open Derrick Ward for what would have been a first down.

* After Phillips wrestling Marion Barber down, Joe cannot say how happy he is that Phillips is not wasting himself at linebacker.

* Cheap ass call on the roughing the punter. Still, no need to take that chance with Dallass kicking from so deep in their territory.

* Geno Hayes might need an alarm clock but he sure answers the bell on defense.

* The Bucs corners are so far playing outstanding.

* Jason Witten on a linebacker is an M&Mer.

* Huge personal foul by Flozell Adams.

* Geno Hayes is playing as if he’s on the Doak Campbell turf.

* Dumb move by Clifton Smith. That punt was in the end zone. Yeah, he got the ball out to the 15 but when a team is in the two-minute drill, five yards can mean the difference between a missed field goal and three points. So far the Bucs are making stupid decisions on special teams.

* Moore just said the Bucs should not play conservative with 85 yards to go and two minutes.

* Waste of a drive by the Bucs there. Moore thought the Bucs should have tried to run and if successful, then bring out the three-wide sets. If the runs don’t work, you burn the clock which hurts Dallass. Now the Cowgirls have a short field for a field goal to regain the lead.

* Dumbass Gaines Adams. Nothing like helping Dallass get closer to a field goal attempt.

* Terrible mistackle by Elbert Mack. You might get away with arm tackles at Troy but not in the NFL.

* Moore is taking the Bucs to task on their possession just before the Cowboys touchdown for getting away from what they were doing well, enabling Dallass to score.

* Bomb to Michael Clayton. Aside from the fact it’s was a fantastic catch, this is why Raheem the Dream wanted Leftwich at quarterback and not Luke McCown.

* Moore is claiming the reason the Bucs nearly got a delay of game penalty on the last-second field goal attempt was due to a lack of playing together.

* Nice job Mike Nugent.

* Quick glance at the numbers shows, shockingly, the Bucs offense is outshining Dallass.
