Its so funny that “my country tis of thee” is the same melody as “god save the queen”. That must have been a slap in the brits face when we came out with that one.
Drops by recievers and bad accuracy. This passing SCHEME is working. But our QB and recievers just haven’t been executing. Even last game against Saints was largely unimpressive outside of the two TD passes. 2nd half vs. Minny was the only time all season our passing game got into a real rythym for even an entire half.
And even vs. Minny they played prevent D pretty much the whole 2nd half with their lead so basically our passing game hasn’t executed when the heat is on the entire season. Thank God our run game is working.
Why? every game its madness 1st half shoot me and Quincy Black SUZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Quincy Black sux! Quincy Black SUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!! but he cashed his check baby!
Luckily Mike Martz seems even more allergic to pounding the rock than Ollie so maybe we luck out and he abandons their only real offensive weapon. He’s done it plenty of times before.
Wow. It was risky not bringing Chad Spann up to the big club for this game and now its biting us in the ass. What happens if Lumpkin gets hurt? I hope Rejus benn is ready to play some running back. They used him in a sort of a Percy Harvin role at times at Illinois . He’s capable of doing it .
Quincy Black- by far the weakest link on what’s turning into a really good defense! But we will never be a good defense when both of your OLBs try to hide, instead of trying to play!!
Seriously this sucks tho. With no fullback we can’t run the power O. Thats our bread and butter run play. I love Raheem but he played russian roulette with so few RB’s active and it could be the difference now in this game.
Losing two backs in the first Quarter! Damnable luck. Lorig was playing really well, also. It really does take away our power running- even if Lumpkin was up to the task!
Glad Mark D. wasn’t concerned we only had 2 backs on the roster:( Who pass blocks now? Still lots of time to go but I’m officially done defending Mike Willams, he’s brutal this year.
Think Lumpkin can get some yards today and catch out of the backfield. It’s time to alter the game plan.
I don’t know who has worse hands… our recievers or our defensive backs. God forbid we have to defend an onside kick. Our hands team will consist of one guy… TJAX
Why are the Bears not paying Forte? The guy is a monster.
Our offense is all out of whack. Receivers not getting open, running game not working and Freeman has about 1 second to get the pass out before a linebacker is in his face.
Boy does this bye week come at a good time. Plenty of time for Blount and McCoy to get back plus make some MAJOR moves at running back. We need a couple a new fullbacks and a new halfback or two.
WHY does one home game a year in England bother Bucs Fan so much?
One game a year.
We cannot sell out on a regular basis
so why not?
One more game for me to watch at home on TV
I admit it.
i’d rather be here than in the stadium.
I’m Still a rabid fan.
I just don’t need the membership card of a Season Ticket to prove that.
I am so aggravated w/ teams in this markey…. the RAYS, BUCS they win ya but it is not entertaining for the majority of the game, just play awful and try to win…..PSA this is entertainment not just sports entertain us PLZ!
this could get ugly, Graham out, Lorig looks out, Is Foster out already to? Why is Corey Lynch getting so much play, did T-Jack pull up lame too. Williams not making catches, Freeman under throws Winslow everytime
Ollie had better stick with the run. They aren’t coming back throwing the ball on all three downs. If the run blocks are there then Lumpkin can get it done.
Ollie had better stick with the run. They aren’t coming back throwing the ball on all three downs. If the run blocks are there then Lumpy
can get it done.
We miss GERALD MCCOY SOOOO MUCH. WHERE IS THE PRESSURE UP THE MIDDLE. BUT YEAH THOMASS 2.2. IS RIGHT . MCCOY SUCKS OKAM AND PRICE ARE WAAAAAAYYYY BETTER. WHAT A JOKE.
This game means nothing to me if they lose. Its nigh impossible to overcome all the injuries we have right now. Hope some guys heal fast over the bye week.
Ollie is abandoning the run which means zero faith in lumpkin. So basically we have NO running back. Get prepared for a game where Free passes 60 freaking times with a handful of picks.
Damn, how many players can we lose in one game.
And it’s not Black, Bayes, or Talib! I don’t wish injuries on anyone, but rather than Foster, Jackson, or Price leave, I’d rather the players who are getting us killed get a lil tweak. Watson, Haywood, and Gautor may be a step up!
Hey BUCS Fans –
Looking forward to a England Home game featuring this kind of terrible football like this EVERY YEAR.
Way to go BUCS management.
Long Flights = crappy football
Every time, every year
(Ref. = this game, SF this year, and every game that the BUCS ever played on the west coast – except for their greatest game ever in SD vs. Raiders)
It boils down to this for me. We have a ton of injuries but our QB an recievers are fully healthy. If Freeman is a good QB let alone elite he will compete in this game. So far he is laying an egg. Good Qb’s don’t need legarrette Blount to carry their ass to every win. Something isn’t working in this pass game. Don’t know if its the drops, the inaccurate throws, the playcalls or a combination of all three.
that was terrible clock management, but at least we get something out of it, where are the sideline routes, don’t we practice against the Tampa 2 every day
Injuries are hurting the Bucs but there havent been any injuries on the O-Line which isnt blocking well which is screwing up running game and Freeman has not time to pass…. Defense needs to tackle better and I AM HOPING T Jax comes back b/c he is the best defender on the Bucs when he is on the field
This team is all hype and no substance…Youth is an excuse. Take that some of you blind homers that beg for respect. Go beg somewhere else because the NFL doesn’t care about your begging. This is a suspect team at best and I have been saying it.
Please run the ball!! Lumpking has had some holes. If nothing else keep them honest, Freeman has to get some time out there. Get Biggers out of there, he is awful..
Unreal, looks just like San Fran game in every facet.. Note to Glazers! The Bucs aren’t going to gain many International fans when they have been outscored 56-10 to this point. Oh wait forgot the safety by the Bucs D 56-12.
This is why you must have veterans on your roster mixed with youth. Tampa has problems with physical minded teams and they fold when they are punched in the mouth. CaptTim, what were you talking about this week again????
This is nothing like the San Fran game. San Fran game we just got whipped with our starters minus McCoy. In this game we have had zero ability to run without Blount, Graham, AND lorig. Most teams cant survive a decimation of their running game like that. Unless your QB is Brady or Rodgers.
Lorig is back now so hopefully we see Ollie actually call some runs in the rest of the game. Wont make a difference though if Blumpkin cant make someone miss.
how can it be that every time our defense gets a sack its for 3-7 yards, but whenever freeman goes down its for – 12 -.- this is so pathetic, not hard, not smart, not fast and definitely not consistent
This is a totally different game with Blount\Lorig healthy and pounding from play one. Whatever. Freeman can’t play without a strong running game. Thats obvious at this point. Lots of learning to go for #5.
Yeah snook … The coach is the reason Lumpkin with no fullback cant get a running game going. Ever see what Cutler does when Forte gets no yards. Its not pretty.
No McCoy, No Blount, No Graham, No Mason Foster, NO Tjax, No fullback AT ALL for half the game. Big surprise were losing. But the haters will of course find a way to pin it on Raheem. thomas will find a way to bash McCoy even though his absence is obviously killing us.
Becklesheart? nothing like the SF game? Can’t stop the run, we can’t run, Willams dropping receptions for pics, Freeman throwing awful picks and way off on his passes. Can’t block, etc. Not trying to start an argument just really looks the same to me other then another 10 points for SF. If Bears ran that pick in and no penalty it would be almost a caron copy.
We really can’t use injuries as an excuse, it’s part of the NFL. The problem is our depth sucks for the most part.
after loosing out 3 best defenders, its really no wonder they are all other us, but theres is really no excuse for the offense continuously sucking
lumpkin looks like he wants to go all the way every time, instead of just getting 4-5 yards
By the way for anyone who doesnt realize that the loss of both Graham and Lorig totally eliminated our running game… learn some football aholes. The Bucs running game doesn’t work without the power O. The power O needs a fullback. No fullback, no running game. How many teams in the NFL can win without even the threat of a running game? Packers? Patriots? But of course logic, reason and football knowledge has no place in the average dumbass JBF.com haters mind.
patrickk- are you aware of just how many injuries we have suffered in this game dumbass?? now our BACKUP center out??? Give it a rest dumbasses. No team can come back from 5-6 major injuries in one game after having both their best defensive and offensive players already out to start the game.
Snook- yeah retard. Thats one team with the current best Qb in the league. Nice comparison idiot. Go root for the Pack then. you know you want to be a frontrunner.
Snook- Ok Moron. Lets say we were fully healthy and Chicago had Forte, Urlacher, Peppers, their backup running back and FB got injured. Think this game goes a little differently? No of course not.
our strength and conditioning coach needs to be fired……year after year, we constantly have endless injuries! our players apprently aren’t in very good shape
Beckles… Waaaaaaaaaah. You are a huge baby. Do you always whine when your lover Raheem gets outcoached?
Do you always whine when Raheem chooses to dress only 2 RBs on the historically awful Wembley turf? Especially when one is Lumpkin who shouldn’t even be in the NFL?
Game still isnt over haters. I know you want us to lose so you can run Raheem out of town for having the gall to apparently be responsible for all these injuries. What would you say if we came back and won? Would you chime in with positives? No of course you will just disappear. I have faith the couple of you haters are just Aints or Falcants fans trolling.
i’m sure he’s part of the problem. we’re always going to have injuries!! it’ll be the same crap next year too. a player gets hurt and it kills our team. this is partly Dom’s fault too since we have no depth at key positions such as running back.
Beckles – i hardly think anyone (few exceptions like thomas 2.2) wants bucs to loose, of course everyone is cheering for a comeback. its not always easy to be positive and its even more annyoing when someone then starts calling you a bad fan ect.
beckles… of course the injuries have had an effect, we weren’t exactly winning by 7-10 points and the Bears came storming back.
No were not a team that cannot run and win, lots of factors as to why.
This is a game day blog, people are going to vent. Game isn’t over but luckily they have a bye week next week to hopefully get healthy.
I’m just frustrated the most by Freeman and Willams play this year…
Quit whining about injuries, my god. Every team has to deal with it. This is football after all. The Packers won the SB with 15 STARTERS on injured reserve last year. How many do we have on IR right now? NONE.
I want a win, I even picked them today. I was foolish enough to think that the week over there mattered. This team is horribly coached, no discipline, no consistency, no cohesiveness.
Mike Will is non-existent except when he drops the pass and Freeman is not making smart throws at all this year……. 2 entirely different players this year from last year!!!
Beckles,
It’s time to taste some reality man. This is a poorly coached and unprepared team that lacks so much including personnel and scheme. Guys it’s a loomg season and this is who they are, a competent team. I keep saying this but its a different ball game when you aren’t the secret of the league. They will be ok, they just aren’t all that to be excited for, hence the ticket sales.
Architek- Its time for you to face reality jackwad. If you want an invinceable team to root for the Pack and Pats are there for the frontrunning. Youngest team in the league. But yeah they should be deep in the playoffs or winning super bowls already. JoePackFan is waiting for you and the rest of the kneejerk d-bag “fans”.
Seriously. How quickly the kneejerk retards forget that we beat the Saints last week when we had something other than a no name third string RB to work with. Chad Spann will be up on the big club soon and Blount will be healthy also to shut you haters up after the bye.
The thing that’s been hugely disappointing about this game, is that the Bears were completely beatable. They really didn’t dominate us. Our defense played fairly solid, but it was our offense once again that kept making mistakes and not capitalizing.
It seems like one side of the ball always plays good, but the other side can’t get it done with us.
Capt. tim- I have to finally agree with you that our OLB’s are garbage. Forte has proved that to me. Mason Foster is in place as our new Hardy up the middle. Now we need a Brooksish backer at will. I say “ish” because it could be a LONG time before another double nickel comes along.
Beckles- screw you sensitive pantsy. For the record I am a realist and keep living in your donut eating world while one week we look good and the next we can’t manage a first down. Yeah real supportive huh! Go homer somewhere else you sensitive-idiot. I promise you this, trust me it’s not a waiting line for this team so the fans that love their team love them. I don’t have to bid with you my allegiance but the more time passes by, the more the coaching and personnel looks bad. RB were already suspect at the RB position and now its undermanned. Keep being a blind ass and we will be discussing the same crap this off-season but I know you will be singing a different tune. You ever heard a song called 8-8 team? (which is not bad but as good as you say, you beatmeat)
For the record I still maintain my stance win or loss and I have been saying this all season…So no I’m a real Buc fan and I have endured worse with Gruden. The Bucs are going to get better but I am just sick of all the excuses…
arhcitek- You are the same dumbass who disappears and wont comment every time we win. You do like this team dont you? I post whether we win or lose. You disappear after EVERY win. It would lead one to believe you are just one of the many ignorant retard NFL fans who wants their coach fired after EVERY SINGLE LOSS.
Arch: I don’t think the number of injuries in this game chalks up to excuses. You said it yourself, they are a VERY young team, and we have all seen worse. This may not be pretty, but I am old enough to remember DECADES when we had no hope whatsoever. Maybe it’s my long view, but I sure like our young Bucs.
“getting touchdowns despite all that shttty coaching!!! go bucs”
Nope. They quit trying to force Lumpkin runs and opened up their offense to let Freeman do his thing. Its what they should’ve done the minute Graham got hurt. That IS coaching. Its the same reason Freeman ALWAYS starts out slow. Duh.
Architek- Oh BTW jackass- 3 point game. So much for this being a replay of San Fran. And were coming back without many of our best players. Even if we lose you haters can suck it. We will be a force to be reckoned with when healthy.
“snooky.. so the coaching was good for the TD drives but rest is shtt. is that your take? well done”
Exactly. They quit trying to force feed Lumpkin – who’s a horrible RB.
And, according to this thread, you can’t score unless you have a running game. The Bucs just scored 2 TDs without a running game. I thought only Rodgers could do that according to Beckles….
If the Bucs continue to play Aquib TAlib I will not watch this team anymore, everbody call in to0 Raheems show tomorrow and voice your displeasure with this thug!
– Missing McCoy badly
– While there have been some good plays from our saftey’s, we really need TJAX. The safety’s play is suspect without hime.
– Our outside LB’s are pathetic. Where is Black? Nice signing.
– We have no RB’s after Graham was hurt. Bring on Stocker???!!??
– Our OL is badly damaged.
– Arriving early, allowing our team to sight see, play rugby and hit the local establishments has done nothing to our game.
– Trueblood still can draw a flag despite his new contract.
Totally amazed we are in this game.
Unfortunately in a way we are making this a game. After our last performance in the UK and the first three quarters of this game, I was hoping the UK would ban us from the UK.
Freeman needs to be benched a few games, do he can get over himself. Yes, you could be a great qb, but when don’t really try it gets ridiculously painful to watch.
i think we can all agree that it is tough watching this team play shtty for majority of every ball game. forget fault because it is comes down on every level.
Patrick- yeah pathetic job to have a chance to win on the last drive despite all the injuries. Your outta here? Go ahead and never come back. The Bucs almost won that game despite have ZERO running attack. The future is bright.. to all but the kneejerk dumbasses who think a new coach will all of a sudden take this young and very injured team to a super bowl. Bill Cowher maybe? Yeah it only took him FIFTEEN YEARS TO WIN HIS FIRST RING! But Raheem should be fired midseason.
Also I think a lot of our media who are former african american players give Raheem a bias and dont hold him accountable…. how do you put Talib back in…. I am serious, WE need to boycott this team if they ever play this thug again, plus he SUX!!!!!!!! IF Talib gone play, we wont pay…
If Talibs gonna play, we aint gonna pay, you think its been bad heh here in Tampa we embrace the guys like ALstott, Lynch Tony Dungy, Derrick Brooks… Nobodys going to games because the people that embrace that type of hiphop culture they got going at 1 Buc cant afford to go to games
Well that was a terrible game to watch with a terrible finish. Idk what Freemans deal is. He looks like a completely different player this year. He just comes off as careless, and Joe was right, two timeouts left and we force a pass? The middle wasn’t there for us all day but they forced it anyway. Even the announcers said they should attack the outside with the receivers. I hope they get it together during the bye, injuries or not, there is no excuse for this.
nice try at a comeback, this game is on Free and the offense. Very dissapointing, thought we would be 5-2 heading to New Orleans. Lets get healthy, I will be at the game cheering on the Bucs in a huge game.
Next thing we know Talibs gonna pop a cap in somebody midgame, while listening to 2PAC and wearing a jersey 3 times his size. Alll the while asking why he is getting discriminated against… Sound familiar? Everyday in da Ghetto now known as 1Buc
Even with the running game being gone, the bucs have 4 quality wide receivers (Williams, Benn, Parker, and Briscoe) plus two good tight ends, an a guy to throw to them in Freeman against a pitiful Bears secondary, yet the Bucs failed to capitalize on this major advantage, by not loading up at wide receiver and spreading it out. I would accept not adjusting from a college team, but a pro team no matter how young must be versatile enough to adapt to adverse conditions. It is a fail by all parts of the Bucs organization that they didn’t adjust from their game plan when Earnest Graham was injured.
Young or not coach Rah needs to get some discipline on this team. The penalties are a direct reflection of lack of discipline. Being the second most penalized team isn’t doing much to help us win games.
Wheres the outrage about Americas thug child Aquib Talib ? How many of my fellow civilized citizens of the middle and upperclass will continue to watch and support this thugnation
@Trey thats how it is in thugnation no accountability, no discipline, but boy can they run if only someone could teach a little accountability… Talib should not of been given a chance to even play… We want rolemodels for our children not more thugs
@ Steven. Really? Talib made a stupid play and has not played well this year, has nothing to do with the music he or Raheem listens to. That is just ignorant. I guess when Mike Williams drops a pass, or T-Jack gets hurt its becuz of the music,
Watching the broadcast where the camera trails away from Aquib Talib after the play, before the penalty, it is hard to say what exactly happened in that play, and who knows what happened the rest of the game to Talib. Waiting until 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter until you try in the game can’t be blamed on only one player. Requiring the defense to step up in the last few minutes of every game is not a player’s fault. If so, we might as well get angry at Corey Lynch for dropping that second pick. If he would have caught it, Talib would have been off the field. We all knew this game was “rubbish” and probably a throwaway loss since it was in London, so why don’t we show the Bucs where all their home games should be.
Talib needs to be benched, but for who…Elbert Mack, E.J. Biggers, Anthony Gaitor, Myron Lewis, until we draft a quality DB, becuz we will not get one in FA, then he’s all we got. I cheer when he makes a play, and do not when he is not hustling. Becuz I am a fan of the Buccaneers
@srqrr I bet that is the culture you identify with. I am more talking about the lack of accountability and discipline, have you been to Wal- Mart lately? Its that culture they feel entitled and lack discipline and accountability as a culture how many of your co-workers of that culture dont call in, how respectful of authority are they? Do they care? Yes I am making a generalization but its TRUE!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Never knew the final line of our anthem “and the home of the brave” was followed by “AMERICAAAAAAA!”

God save the Queen indeed! Methinks she should be the new queenie!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Go Bucs!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Its so funny that “my country tis of thee” is the same melody as “god save the queen”. That must have been a slap in the brits face when we came out with that one.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:06 pm

i am still getting used to seeing it in Tampa again.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:09 pm
3 and out to start! I like it!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:09 pm
Clayborn schooling Jmarcus Webb. that will be there all day for us.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:09 pm
wonder if there will be less commercial breaks since the brits cant stand how there are always long delays in action
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Argh…Penalty yips still happening, dammit.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:13 pm
joe.. why are my comments taking so long for you to moderate? what gives?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:14 pm
No complaints about play calling, yet…
but Freeman has not awaken yet.
Typical slow start
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:14 pm
Freeman needs glasses…either that or he can’t hit his recievers…..
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Anyone have any idea where I could watch the game from PA?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Force a three and out, get a first down on the first drive, great open field tackle on Hester; not a terrible start.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Drops by recievers and bad accuracy. This passing SCHEME is working. But our QB and recievers just haven’t been executing. Even last game against Saints was largely unimpressive outside of the two TD passes. 2nd half vs. Minny was the only time all season our passing game got into a real rythym for even an entire half.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:16 pm
I am really enjoying watching Clayborn this year.
Good pick up
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Whiff by T JAck
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:18 pm
Soft Defense
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:18 pm
And even vs. Minny they played prevent D pretty much the whole 2nd half with their lead so basically our passing game hasn’t executed when the heat is on the entire season. Thank God our run game is working.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Where the eff are our LB’s???
Oh no!
We Suck Again!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Forte is good man. Id call him a poor mans Adrian Peterson but he isn’t really that far behind AP.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:22 pm
joe why u pulling my comments?????
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:22 pm
Why? every game its madness 1st half shoot me and Quincy Black SUZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Quincy Black sux! Quincy Black SUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!! but he cashed his check baby!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
SUX!!!!!!LOL
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Luckily Mike Martz seems even more allergic to pounding the rock than Ollie so maybe we luck out and he abandons their only real offensive weapon. He’s done it plenty of times before.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
???
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Dear Mark Dominik,
Do not resign mediocre players (ala M. Clayton/ Q. Black) for big money, DUH. Quincy Black SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Have not paid much attention to the College teams/players yet…
Anybody know what LB’s will be available in the mid first round?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Oh, THIS is NOT GOOD.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Looks bad for Graham.
He just kind of buckled
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:26 pm
talib’s effort on that td was lousy
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Wow. It was risky not bringing Chad Spann up to the big club for this game and now its biting us in the ass. What happens if Lumpkin gets hurt? I hope Rejus benn is ready to play some running back. They used him in a sort of a Percy Harvin role at times at Illinois . He’s capable of doing it .
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:27 pm
aaaaaai cant watch this game even in england i get to watch falcons and lions……
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Quincy Black- by far the weakest link on what’s turning into a really good defense! But we will never be a good defense when both of your OLBs try to hide, instead of trying to play!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:29 pm
DOWN GOES LORIG
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:30 pm
best hit of the day was on that punt coverage,
but it was friendly fire.
Who is bucs #44?
He looked like he got rung up
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Bucs can’t panic here. Play defense. Key on forte and pressure Cutler and this game is still winnable.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:31 pm
is Lorig #44?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
loring and price injured???
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Twitter is a Buzz about Graham with a “serious Knee Injury”
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
This is looking like it will be one of those games. Cant win when someone gets injured on every other play. GODDAMMN ITTT!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
WOW!!! Go, T Jack, GOOOOO!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
T Jax! Hell Yeah!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
and graham??
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Well, sheee it!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Only one RB left on Bucs?
Lumpkin
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Knee down??
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Jackson is a player. WoW!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 pm

Barber mans up
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Safety
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Barber gets the safety but could not have done it without Clayborn
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:40 pm
yeah that INT is on mike williams, not freeman
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Graham has ankle injury
will not return
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Seriously this sucks tho. With no fullback we can’t run the power O. Thats our bread and butter run play. I love Raheem but he played russian roulette with so few RB’s active and it could be the difference now in this game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Is Lorig OUT?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:43 pm
DISCIPLINE GOD DAMNIT!! STOP WITH THE PENALTIES!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:43 pm
PUNT the ball already
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:43 pm
no better way to make the brits more disinterested in our sport than to further slow the game down with all these penalties
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:44 pm
That’s the Trueblood we all know and…well we know him anyways.

this game might set a record for most 2nd downs in a row
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Losing two backs in the first Quarter! Damnable luck. Lorig was playing really well, also. It really does take away our power running- even if Lumpkin was up to the task!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
New nickname for Freeman –
Captain Checkdown.
Reminds me of Brad Johnson and Jeff Garcia
Oh wait
they did not suck either,
But were Boring as hell
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:46 pm
I do NOT understand that play call. Throw long, then punt. Even if they got an INT, the field position would have been no diff than a punt.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:47 pm
its like dominik knew our offense was going to suck this year when he went out and got koenen. good call GM
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:47 pm
YAWNNNNNNNN….som UGLY football. So…let’ review. Getting to london early o we won’t be sluggish….CHECK! Going with only two running backs…CHECK!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Shouldn’t Olsen have a play for 3rd and 21?
The bucs fing them in 3rd and long so much he should have one by now other than a draw.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:49 pm
stopping Forte…Check
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:49 pm
*find
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Putting the game on Freeman’s shoulders with no running game….check! Mike Williams dropping passes….check
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Glad Mark D. wasn’t concerned we only had 2 backs on the roster:( Who pass blocks now? Still lots of time to go but I’m officially done defending Mike Willams, he’s brutal this year.
Think Lumpkin can get some yards today and catch out of the backfield. It’s time to alter the game plan.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:51 pm
Stopping Forte???
78 yard in first quarter
What are we stopping him from?
400 yards this game?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Where the eff is Winslow?
did he get hurt carrying in the Brits Flag?
What a warrior
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Is M. Foster playing today?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Clayborn is the man
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Hello is there anybody here today?
or is everybody at the stadium for this home game?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:55 pm
I don’t know who has worse hands… our recievers or our defensive backs. God forbid we have to defend an onside kick. Our hands team will consist of one guy… TJAX
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:57 pm
What a Strange game
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Running Lumpkin behiond the GREAT blocking of Winslow…CHECK
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:57 pm
saw Winslow wide open on 3rd down, Freeman was way off
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Need 10….call 8 yard pass play…..CHECK!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Koenen…MVP Again….check!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Im relying on TJAX to swing the momentum of this game further as he already has. CMon TJAX!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:01 pm
joke not funny anymore…CHECK
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:01 pm
K2 is doggin it and its screwin w/ Freeman
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:01 pm
SCotty- yeah we all of teams should know you cant rely on missed tackles on short pass plays vs. a Tampa2 team with elite linebackers.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Did that hit the Bear?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 pm
I thought so too, Buc Neckid….But the replay it looked like it hit the Buc first.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Why are the Bears not paying Forte? The guy is a monster.
Our offense is all out of whack. Receivers not getting open, running game not working and Freeman has about 1 second to get the pass out before a linebacker is in his face.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Is tanard jackson hurt too?????!!!! Why is Lynch out there?????
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Can’t stop the run. This is going to be a long game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:05 pm
No sacks on Cutler yet?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:05 pm
1. When will mike Williams wake up?
2. Can Tanard play offense too?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Bucs sound like THE NFL choice to play a home game every year
PER Goodell
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:06 pm
TD by no hands Williams?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:06 pm
yeah… and no Blount to spark a 2nd half comeback. SO SCREWED!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:06 pm
I am so tired of hearing Biggers is any good….. he is garbage, getting burned every week!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:07 pm
Roy Williams!?!? Really?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 pm
This team looks lost and confused….. O-Line has no idea what to do and Lumpkin doesnt know the blocking scheme at all….
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Boy does this bye week come at a good time. Plenty of time for Blount and McCoy to get back plus make some MAJOR moves at running back. We need a couple a new fullbacks and a new halfback or two.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Oh BOY!!!! Here comes are fearless offense
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Trade???? Dominik might need to bend from his strategy here. Ronnie Brown is available.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Freeman can’t get any time to throw it to anyone
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 pm
WHY does one home game a year in England bother Bucs Fan so much?
One game a year.
We cannot sell out on a regular basis
so why not?
One more game for me to watch at home on TV
I admit it.
i’d rather be here than in the stadium.
I’m Still a rabid fan.
I just don’t need the membership card of a Season Ticket to prove that.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 pm
We need to score a TD. Now or never Mile Williams! He might be the 2nd best WR named “Williams” on the field today.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 pm
@beckles trade deadline is over, no more trades
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:10 pm
I agree, Biggers should not even be on the team, he sucks
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Trade deadline is over!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 pm
I am so aggravated w/ teams in this markey…. the RAYS, BUCS they win ya but it is not entertaining for the majority of the game, just play awful and try to win…..PSA this is entertainment not just sports entertain us PLZ!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Looks like the team from San Fran showed up today.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 pm
this could get ugly, Graham out, Lorig looks out, Is Foster out already to? Why is Corey Lynch getting so much play, did T-Jack pull up lame too. Williams not making catches, Freeman under throws Winslow everytime
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Another blowout coming….
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Another “off the back foot” Pass
Freeman sucks today.
Some QB coach we have huh?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 pm
This team looks awful today…. I mean 49ers game awful
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 pm
3 and out?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:13 pm
this team looks horrible
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:13 pm
Freeman looks just atrocious today
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
freeman accuracy is way off
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
EVERY PASS IS OFF OF HIS BACK FOOT
COME ON FREE,
MAN UP and step into your throws!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Which unit is the worst today? Bucs O-Line, Freeman, or secondary?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Hold them to 3 here
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Ollie had better stick with the run. They aren’t coming back throwing the ball on all three downs. If the run blocks are there then Lumpkin can get it done.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
down goes TJAX
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Ollie had better stick with the run. They aren’t coming back throwing the ball on all three downs. If the run blocks are there then Lumpy
can get it done.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
With Blount and Graham out a REAL leader would shoulder this team and at least step into his throws.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Freeman can’t do much when no one blocks people. It’s hard to step into a throw with defenders in your face.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Oh boy, I just realized that we will be hearing Tiki to the Bucs “rumors” for the next 2 weeks unless we sign someone.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
T Jax out leads to Corey Lynch in which leads to big passes…. I dont know who is worse EJ Biggers or Corey Lynch in coverage?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
hammy for TJAX
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:16 pm
T Jack out.
Thought that it looked like he pulled up lame on the pick off
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Pro Bowl for Cutler?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:16 pm
We miss GERALD MCCOY SOOOO MUCH. WHERE IS THE PRESSURE UP THE MIDDLE. BUT YEAH THOMASS 2.2. IS RIGHT . MCCOY SUCKS OKAM AND PRICE ARE WAAAAAAYYYY BETTER. WHAT A JOKE.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Still NO SACKS
Great DLine???
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Has Freeman had 1 pass attempt today without a Bear in his face?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Talib sucks. So overrated.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Talib on the coverage
HA HA
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
i dont know which side of the ball is harder to watch right now
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Roy Miller sighting?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Talib is no pro bowler
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Stats of the day
0 combined yards for Mike Williams and K2
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
At least we have a good punter!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
21-2 at halftime
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Down goes Foster
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Heyward is playing BIG TIME football right now
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Mason FOster is OUT
ANkle early in game
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
This game means nothing to me if they lose. Its nigh impossible to overcome all the injuries we have right now. Hope some guys heal fast over the bye week.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:20 pm
We stopped them on 3rd down?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Watson nailed Cutler!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Here comes 3 and out Freeman
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Finally Olsen remembers the running game….
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Ollie is abandoning the run which means zero faith in lumpkin. So basically we have NO running back. Get prepared for a game where Free passes 60 freaking times with a handful of picks.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Where is the Fricking QB coach!!!
Every throw is off of his back foot
UGHGHH
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Olsen = Overrated
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:23 pm
wow
did we eat to much English food or drink to much London water?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:24 pm
How have the lions only scored 6 against the falcons?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:24 pm
what happened to Loring?
FB hurt on a punt?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:24 pm
The bucs apparantly don’t like long flights.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:24 pm
when did Free start wearring the glove on his left hand
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Can Trueblood block anyone today? If not slide some help for him, his guy is getting in every play!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Who is this new guy?
Mike Williams?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
wow mike will caught a ball!!!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Yes Lorig hurt on the punt coverage
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Mike Will is like 3rd in the league in drops, not a stat u want to be near the top
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:27 pm
K2 looks pissed
Trouble brewing?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:28 pm
about time free!!! lets go
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:28 pm
k2 isnt getting open…. he needs to quit whining
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Bad Decision
to throw to Briscoe with double coverage
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:29 pm
come on Lumpkin get past the first down marker!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:29 pm
some great situation football there guys
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:30 pm
shttty way to end a nice drive
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Great a Fricking Field Goal
Now we are just five safeties away from winning this game
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Offense played like garbage and defense had trouble tackling Forte
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:31 pm
good thing we left monday!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:32 pm
we have only 1 rb and no fb but we dressed some guy named haruman…now i see
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Lumpkin needs to back up a half a yard and then block…. not stand 1 yard behind the oline he gets jacked up from there
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Maybe it’s just me, Bears look to be slowing down on both Offense and Defense. I expect more pressure and a few sacks of Cutler in the second half.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Damn, how many players can we lose in one game.
And it’s not Black, Bayes, or Talib! I don’t wish injuries on anyone, but rather than Foster, Jackson, or Price leave, I’d rather the players who are getting us killed get a lil tweak. Watson, Haywood, and Gautor may be a step up!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Hey BUCS Fans –
Looking forward to a England Home game featuring this kind of terrible football like this EVERY YEAR.
Way to go BUCS management.
Long Flights = crappy football
Every time, every year
(Ref. = this game, SF this year, and every game that the BUCS ever played on the west coast – except for their greatest game ever in SD vs. Raiders)
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:34 pm
It boils down to this for me. We have a ton of injuries but our QB an recievers are fully healthy. If Freeman is a good QB let alone elite he will compete in this game. So far he is laying an egg. Good Qb’s don’t need legarrette Blount to carry their ass to every win. Something isn’t working in this pass game. Don’t know if its the drops, the inaccurate throws, the playcalls or a combination of all three.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:35 pm
that was terrible clock management, but at least we get something out of it, where are the sideline routes, don’t we practice against the Tampa 2 every day
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Lets hope Williams is not having memories of what the hands of clay clayton told him last TC
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Hate to blame everything on injuries,
BUT…
we are not that good/deep yet to have so many injured and still expect a good game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Now i know that TB has a chance in the second half,
the FOX talking heads are on the Chicago bandwagon now.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:41 pm
we need to run as well but our TB and FB out? do we have a backup FB? well we do but he is hurt as well(Graham)
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Joe here,
To the guy commenting choosing the screen name “Joe” you’ll have to choose another name.
@Dallas Buc – Patience. Joe’s watching a football game. 😉
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:41 pm
@Buc Nekkid LMAO
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Where is Benn today. Haven’t seen him
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Injuries are hurting the Bucs but there havent been any injuries on the O-Line which isnt blocking well which is screwing up running game and Freeman has not time to pass…. Defense needs to tackle better and I AM HOPING T Jax comes back b/c he is the best defender on the Bucs when he is on the field
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:44 pm
has anyone heard if lorig is comin back?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Am i just now noticing this today?
Does Freman ALWAYS throw off of his back foot?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
penn needs to block that better
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
3 and out again
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
My god this o line cant do anything…. they are night and day from last week!!!! Absolutely pathetic!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
penn needs to block that better.. however, lumpkin is a bum
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Can we get Benn to play running back?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:48 pm
can we account for peppers! please
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:48 pm
we look jet lagged… bears don’t ! wtf
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:48 pm
we should have shown up this morning we couldn’t do much worse
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:48 pm
defense might need to score all the Bucs points, good luck with that
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Might be time to switch to red zone channel…. This is yugly
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:49 pm
This team is all hype and no substance…Youth is an excuse. Take that some of you blind homers that beg for respect. Go beg somewhere else because the NFL doesn’t care about your begging. This is a suspect team at best and I have been saying it.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:49 pm
now our defense has to stop them again…… been here before
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:50 pm
Please run the ball!! Lumpking has had some holes. If nothing else keep them honest, Freeman has to get some time out there. Get Biggers out of there, he is awful..
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:50 pm
wow.. we can make the saints look average and next week make the bears look like the patriots
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:51 pm
about time
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Finally!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Nice sack by Clayborn!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Finally a sack.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:52 pm
If I was any team playing against the Bucs I would throw it at Biggers every single pass play!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Man, they just HAVE to follow up awesome plays and capitalize.
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:52 pm
no hands roy williams from probowler cutler
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:53 pm
T Jax wouldve intercepted that
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:54 pm
DEFENSE CANT TACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:54 pm
BALL GAME
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:54 pm
jones f’d up there
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:55 pm
blown off the ball every play
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:55 pm
any ideas on the excuses for the week?…or the next 2 weeks?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:55 pm
consistently inconsistent
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:56 pm
where are those second half adjustments this team has had to rely on far too often?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:56 pm
LB’s need to step up not back
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Biggers is a 7th round pick, u get what you got
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
game over
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
Barber hasn’t done anything it 2 plus years, he looks great now?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
Yeah so is this the respect you all wanted?
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
thats what happens when you try to force it to K2…. PATHETIC
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
game over
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
well when you louse your starting RB FB MLB & FS no excuses next guy must step up…. has not happned this game… yet!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
Should have put Koenen in
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:59 pm
really didn’t see us not ready to play today…..we are getting our butt kicked again
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:59 pm
talib just made an effort… nice job talib!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:00 pm
wtf free time for red zone
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:01 pm
WOW Bucs! We go over to Britain and we get our arses kicked again! Do us a favor and stop embarrasing us overseas
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Unreal, looks just like San Fran game in every facet.. Note to Glazers! The Bucs aren’t going to gain many International fans when they have been outscored 56-10 to this point. Oh wait forgot the safety by the Bucs D 56-12.
Please run the ball going forward..
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:01 pm
This is why you must have veterans on your roster mixed with youth. Tampa has problems with physical minded teams and they fold when they are punched in the mouth. CaptTim, what were you talking about this week again????
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:02 pm
I think we are kicking ourselves in the butt. Bears aren’t playing all that great.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:02 pm
both patricks.. this could be blessing in disguise.. if we suck then they will not want us
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Buccaneers are reminding me of the guy that chooses a different beer than his friends who choose Miller Lite, always playing unmanly
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:04 pm
I am enjoying the comments guys. Soon you will realize this gross inconsistency and lack of discipline is due to horrible coaching.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:04 pm
wow they are excited after getting positive yards… shows how bad the offense is today
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:04 pm
This is nothing like the San Fran game. San Fran game we just got whipped with our starters minus McCoy. In this game we have had zero ability to run without Blount, Graham, AND lorig. Most teams cant survive a decimation of their running game like that. Unless your QB is Brady or Rodgers.
Lorig is back now so hopefully we see Ollie actually call some runs in the rest of the game. Wont make a difference though if Blumpkin cant make someone miss.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:05 pm
@thomas i thought Okam and Miller/Price were waaay better than Mccoy in there…. how many sacks in the last 2 weeks?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:05 pm
THomas- Hey Fagwad!! Did you notice all the injuries??? Of course not. Its the coach.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:05 pm
I am turning this sh^& off, this is a garbage effort and poor football. Tampa is making the Bears look like a dominant team. Im out!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:06 pm
By Fag I meant the british version meanging cigarette so you dont have to ban me to protect your favorite anti-bucs troll Joe.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:07 pm
get k2 out of the game, he is playing with no heart or will….
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:07 pm
thomasthetrain. maybe the coaching has this squad playing way better than any other staff
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:07 pm
This oline is disgusting pathetic!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Pretty said that you want your defense on the field rather than the offense.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:08 pm
how can it be that every time our defense gets a sack its for 3-7 yards, but whenever freeman goes down its for – 12 -.- this is so pathetic, not hard, not smart, not fast and definitely not consistent
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:08 pm
we suck !
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:08 pm
At least our punt coverage is good…
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
ugly
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
This is a totally different game with Blount\Lorig healthy and pounding from play one. Whatever. Freeman can’t play without a strong running game. Thats obvious at this point. Lots of learning to go for #5.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Make excuses all you want for this team and its horrible coach… But fact is they’ve been blown out twice in the last 2 games.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
“not hard, not smart, not fast and definitely not consistent”… haha, definetly not!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:10 pm
Typo – last 3 games
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:10 pm
even the Bad Buc is getting his ass kicked by the bears mascot
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:10 pm
Yeah snook … The coach is the reason Lumpkin with no fullback cant get a running game going. Ever see what Cutler does when Forte gets no yards. Its not pretty.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:11 pm
snooky… no one is making excuses just saying it is possibly more than one cause of this horrible play 2 weeks out of 3
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Corey Lynch sucks as anything other than a special teamer
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Bucs look tired. Like after you feel after a long vacation.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Yuck!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:13 pm
No McCoy, No Blount, No Graham, No Mason Foster, NO Tjax, No fullback AT ALL for half the game. Big surprise were losing. But the haters will of course find a way to pin it on Raheem. thomas will find a way to bash McCoy even though his absence is obviously killing us.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:13 pm
two official effort plays by talib in one game.. is that a record?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Thank goodness for NFL Red Zone. I don’t have to watch the Bucs.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:14 pm
So every team that loses their starting RB gets blown out?
Good one. Injury excuses are for losers.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:14 pm
Becklesheart? nothing like the SF game? Can’t stop the run, we can’t run, Willams dropping receptions for pics, Freeman throwing awful picks and way off on his passes. Can’t block, etc. Not trying to start an argument just really looks the same to me other then another 10 points for SF. If Bears ran that pick in and no penalty it would be almost a caron copy.
We really can’t use injuries as an excuse, it’s part of the NFL. The problem is our depth sucks for the most part.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:14 pm
@beckles good points…. according to Thomas the score would be 45 b/c they could just run right at Mccoy…
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:14 pm
wow
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Who’s fault is it we came into this game on crappy turf with only 2 RBs? Is that Lumpkind fault too?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
we need to score TD here to even stay in this game
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
@snook u mean the top 2 RBs, starting MLB, and starting FS yeah that means losses most of the time
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
down goes zuttah
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
after loosing out 3 best defenders, its really no wonder they are all other us, but theres is really no excuse for the offense continuously sucking
lumpkin looks like he wants to go all the way every time, instead of just getting 4-5 yards
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
who is our 3rd string center?… earnest graham?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Zuttah down? End the season, folks. Get ready for draft.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:17 pm
By the way for anyone who doesnt realize that the loss of both Graham and Lorig totally eliminated our running game… learn some football aholes. The Bucs running game doesn’t work without the power O. The power O needs a fullback. No fullback, no running game. How many teams in the NFL can win without even the threat of a running game? Packers? Patriots? But of course logic, reason and football knowledge has no place in the average dumbass JBF.com haters mind.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:17 pm
yeah dude.. his knee is toast
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:17 pm
ugghhh ZUttha now hurt
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:18 pm
that look deliberate
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Hey Heckled, the packers won a super bowl last year without a running game. Wake up.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:19 pm
patrickk- are you aware of just how many injuries we have suffered in this game dumbass?? now our BACKUP center out??? Give it a rest dumbasses. No team can come back from 5-6 major injuries in one game after having both their best defensive and offensive players already out to start the game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:19 pm
Dunderhead Trueblood strikes again……… man this oline cant do anything right at all!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:19 pm
coach morris might take out trueblood’s knees himself
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Snook- yeah retard. Thats one team with the current best Qb in the league. Nice comparison idiot. Go root for the Pack then. you know you want to be a frontrunner.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Losers make injury excuses. Waaaaaaah!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:20 pm
we just folded up our tent
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:21 pm
oh yes……..we get a nice pass play, but it’s short once again because of our damn penalties!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:21 pm
hey everyone, snooky has all the answers
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:21 pm
Way to read Snook. And they actually did get a running game in the postseason with Starks.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Snook- Ok Moron. Lets say we were fully healthy and Chicago had Forte, Urlacher, Peppers, their backup running back and FB got injured. Think this game goes a little differently? No of course not.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
our strength and conditioning coach needs to be fired……year after year, we constantly have endless injuries! our players apprently aren’t in very good shape
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
with the luck of this team, Koenen will do down before the season is over
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Bennett played well that series…. DLine looked better
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Good Job Bennett, maybe we should use him more in the middle while Mccoy’s out.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:24 pm
It’s actually a really good young team, but they need OLBers, Better cornets, and Meybe an upgrade or two on the o-line.
Of course, I’ve thought that was obvious since March.
All Freeman, Williams, etc. Need, is an offseason at oneBucPlace. Go to hell godell’s lil lockout has really hurt our second year offensive players.
The defense still needs players. The offense needs depth and specialist.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Beckles… Waaaaaaaaaah. You are a huge baby. Do you always whine when your lover Raheem gets outcoached?
Do you always whine when Raheem chooses to dress only 2 RBs on the historically awful Wembley turf? Especially when one is Lumpkin who shouldn’t even be in the NFL?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:24 pm
@beckles excellent point…. OLINE cant block at all
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Should we call Lumpkin Pitter Patter?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:25 pm
so patrick.. are you attributing all injuries out our s&c coach? your insight is very exclusive!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Game still isnt over haters. I know you want us to lose so you can run Raheem out of town for having the gall to apparently be responsible for all these injuries. What would you say if we came back and won? Would you chime in with positives? No of course you will just disappear. I have faith the couple of you haters are just Aints or Falcants fans trolling.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:26 pm
WE ARE NOT EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO GET A PLAY OFF BEFORE THE QTR ENDS, THATS COACHING
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:27 pm
why run up to the line when you had no intention of getting the play off?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:27 pm
So 2 blowouts in 3 games. Were injuries an excuse in SF? Nope.
Fact is, our team is undisciplined, overmatched, and outcoached.
Only a “retard” can’t see that.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:27 pm
beckles.. all the haters scatter like roaches when we win. you know that because we see that almost every week
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:27 pm
“WE ARE NOT EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO GET A PLAY OFF BEFORE THE QTR ENDS, THATS COACHING”
No, its because of all the injuries. So are the penalties.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:28 pm
embarrassing
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:28 pm
keep hitting them guys we cant run but we should be able to bubble screen screen play with more than one lineman there should be a good idea as well
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:28 pm

late hit bitch
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Thank god we have three centers on the roster.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:29 pm
@dallasbuc
i’m sure he’s part of the problem. we’re always going to have injuries!! it’ll be the same crap next year too. a player gets hurt and it kills our team. this is partly Dom’s fault too since we have no depth at key positions such as running back.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Freeman just cant throw it smart today… WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:30 pm
that was a terrible read by freeman
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:30 pm
beckles.. all the haters scatter like roaches when we win. you know that because we see that almost every week
No one “scatters”. Its just that Raheem isn’t a good head coach. The Bucs won’t ever win anything with a Hofstra safety as head coach.
Hopefully, we get a new coach before its too late.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Beckles – i hardly think anyone (few exceptions like thomas 2.2) wants bucs to loose, of course everyone is cheering for a comeback. its not always easy to be positive and its even more annyoing when someone then starts calling you a bad fan ect.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Josh Johnson
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:32 pm
K2 wasnt even close to being open, what is wrong with Freeman this year?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:33 pm
snooky… gruden went to dayton and won a superbowl. stop bringing up sht that doesnt matter
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:33 pm
beckles… of course the injuries have had an effect, we weren’t exactly winning by 7-10 points and the Bears came storming back.
No were not a team that cannot run and win, lots of factors as to why.
This is a game day blog, people are going to vent. Game isn’t over but luckily they have a bye week next week to hopefully get healthy.
I’m just frustrated the most by Freeman and Willams play this year…
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:34 pm
the timing is way off between Free and the WR’s/TE’s
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:34 pm
3 ints on the k-s seem route in the endzone this year
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:35 pm
Get Freeman out of the game…. he is a liability right now, he keeps trying to force things to K2
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:35 pm
WHHAT THE FCKKKKK UGGGGGG
Freeman is shtting the bed today hard.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:35 pm
Quit whining about injuries, my god. Every team has to deal with it. This is football after all. The Packers won the SB with 15 STARTERS on injured reserve last year. How many do we have on IR right now? NONE.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:35 pm
let me guess ..freeman will say he has to do better..duh
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
We can at least agree that no team in the NFL gets f-ed like the Bucs.
What a horrible call to overturn that. Wow.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
I want a win, I even picked them today. I was foolish enough to think that the week over there mattered. This team is horribly coached, no discipline, no consistency, no cohesiveness.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Mike Will is non-existent except when he drops the pass and Freeman is not making smart throws at all this year……. 2 entirely different players this year from last year!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
yeaaaaahhhh
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
LYNCH!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Cutler may still hand it to us.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Yes, that’s what happens when we get a pass rush.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:37 pm
bad call. his knee was down before he was touched. as he was hit the ball came out. it was a fumble.
however, Barber is the only player on the bucs that deserves to hold his head high
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:37 pm
good thing cutler sucks too
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Beckles,
It’s time to taste some reality man. This is a poorly coached and unprepared team that lacks so much including personnel and scheme. Guys it’s a loomg season and this is who they are, a competent team. I keep saying this but its a different ball game when you aren’t the secret of the league. They will be ok, they just aren’t all that to be excited for, hence the ticket sales.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Good play right there Mike Will caught it and Freeman completed it to the right team
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Quit forcing it Josh!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Better not blow it!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Mike Will with a big catch
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
TWO, you go
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
uh oh
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
K2
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
And we’re that much closer!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
roaches dont like what they smell
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Got to get the 2!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:40 pm
ANOTHER WILLIAMS DROP, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CATCH
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:40 pm
Such crappy playcalling. Let’s throw a slant to a double-covered Mike Williams on the two-point conversion.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:41 pm
can wait to get blount back!!!Winslow is a pain in the a$$ man he has good hands!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Is BENN hurt as well????
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Williams has got to CATCH that!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Architek- Its time for you to face reality jackwad. If you want an invinceable team to root for the Pack and Pats are there for the frontrunning. Youngest team in the league. But yeah they should be deep in the playoffs or winning super bowls already. JoePackFan is waiting for you and the rest of the kneejerk d-bag “fans”.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
IS MIKE SHULA AVAILABLE FOR OC?????????
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Nice tackle by Biggers, there. So we have THAT going for us, which is nice.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:45 pm
stop FORTE !!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:46 pm
WHERE is Benn is he hurt?WTF.Iknow J.J. is our only back up but lets use the fastest guy on the field in some capacity
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Seriously. How quickly the kneejerk retards forget that we beat the Saints last week when we had something other than a no name third string RB to work with. Chad Spann will be up on the big club soon and Blount will be healthy also to shut you haters up after the bye.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:47 pm
The thing that’s been hugely disappointing about this game, is that the Bears were completely beatable. They really didn’t dominate us. Our defense played fairly solid, but it was our offense once again that kept making mistakes and not capitalizing.
It seems like one side of the ball always plays good, but the other side can’t get it done with us.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:47 pm
Dline looks fired up right now
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:48 pm
3rd down stop, we’re still in this!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:49 pm
beckles….we look like crap today !! no excuse for it…
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:49 pm
This is STILL a ten point game. This could happen. Suck it, haterz.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Capt. tim- I have to finally agree with you that our OLB’s are garbage. Forte has proved that to me. Mason Foster is in place as our new Hardy up the middle. Now we need a Brooksish backer at will. I say “ish” because it could be a LONG time before another double nickel comes along.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Another near heart attack for me right there. At least we got and have good field position.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:50 pm
So…. if the Bucs come back and win this game despite all of their injuries, that pretty much dis-spells the whiner injury excuse, doesn’t it?
In Freeman We Trust. He can bring us back today.
Without #5, Raheem would’ve gotten fired last off-season.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Beckles- screw you sensitive pantsy. For the record I am a realist and keep living in your donut eating world while one week we look good and the next we can’t manage a first down. Yeah real supportive huh! Go homer somewhere else you sensitive-idiot. I promise you this, trust me it’s not a waiting line for this team so the fans that love their team love them. I don’t have to bid with you my allegiance but the more time passes by, the more the coaching and personnel looks bad. RB were already suspect at the RB position and now its undermanned. Keep being a blind ass and we will be discussing the same crap this off-season but I know you will be singing a different tune. You ever heard a song called 8-8 team? (which is not bad but as good as you say, you beatmeat)
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:51 pm
big time trickeration
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Spurlock at QB? WTF is wrong with Olsen?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Man with some protection freeman actually looks like well….. Freeman
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:52 pm
nice play!!!now lets get jj in the game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:52 pm
@ Lighroy his game plan would be run right run left play action incomplete punt game plan…. thanks but no
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:52 pm
BTW- did Josh Freeman forget he can RUN THE BALL??? Where is our typical 2-3 nice Freeman runs??
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:53 pm
There is no excuse for delay of game penalties
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Is Winslow done pouting?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Surprise them by giving it to Lumpkin
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
briscoe ballin
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Nice effort by Briscoe!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
For the record I still maintain my stance win or loss and I have been saying this all season…So no I’m a real Buc fan and I have endured worse with Gruden. The Bucs are going to get better but I am just sick of all the excuses…
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
briscoe ballin out
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
we got a game!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
Go Briscoe go!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
holy crap !
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
BRISCOE!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
arhcitek- You are the same dumbass who disappears and wont comment every time we win. You do like this team dont you? I post whether we win or lose. You disappear after EVERY win. It would lead one to believe you are just one of the many ignorant retard NFL fans who wants their coach fired after EVERY SINGLE LOSS.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
roaches
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Where’s the injury excuse now?????
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Hell Yeah! Great drive for Briscoe!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:56 pm
getting touchdowns despite all that shttty coaching!!! go bucs
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:57 pm
gov’t needs to research lifespans of buc fans…with all the 4th qtr heroics, our lives have gt to be cut short by at least 10-15 years!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Whos makin excuses? Briscoe best practice money ever spent?
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Arch: I don’t think the number of injuries in this game chalks up to excuses. You said it yourself, they are a VERY young team, and we have all seen worse. This may not be pretty, but I am old enough to remember DECADES when we had no hope whatsoever. Maybe it’s my long view, but I sure like our young Bucs.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:58 pm
“getting touchdowns despite all that shttty coaching!!! go bucs”
Nope. They quit trying to force Lumpkin runs and opened up their offense to let Freeman do his thing. Its what they should’ve done the minute Graham got hurt. That IS coaching. Its the same reason Freeman ALWAYS starts out slow. Duh.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Architek- Oh BTW jackass- 3 point game. So much for this being a replay of San Fran. And were coming back without many of our best players. Even if we lose you haters can suck it. We will be a force to be reckoned with when healthy.
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:59 pm
STOP FORTE !
October 23rd, 2011 at 3:59 pm
I don’t have a problem with Raheem/Olson when they let Freeman play. Its when they play for 3 quarters not to lose.
Freeman is at his best when the offense is fast paced and spread out. Period.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:00 pm
Barber on hester??? Ok Barber is cat like but give me a break.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:00 pm
snooky.. so the coaching was good for the TD drives but rest is shtt. is that your take? well done
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:01 pm
Cutler…time for you to lose the game for the Bears
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:01 pm
ROY WILLIAMS
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:02 pm
Typical…..our defense steps up the previous drives and then blows it right when we’re back in the game
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:02 pm
Is there such a thing as holding in the NFL anymore??????
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:03 pm
Crap
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:03 pm
DAMN IT YOU GUYS ARE Pissing me off!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Lynch with a nice knockdown
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:04 pm
“snooky.. so the coaching was good for the TD drives but rest is shtt. is that your take? well done”
Exactly. They quit trying to force feed Lumpkin – who’s a horrible RB.
And, according to this thread, you can’t score unless you have a running game. The Bucs just scored 2 TDs without a running game. I thought only Rodgers could do that according to Beckles….
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Stop them D! One more play!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Go Rhonde!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Ronde is awesome!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Ronde, you MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:05 pm
RONDE BARBER!!! Go old man, go!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:05 pm
These refs are ridiculous…. The Bears do no wrong
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Nooooo!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Thanks Talib
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Not sure how Forte is unaccounted for in any scheme… great job by d to hold to a fg. Talib is an asshole
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Raheem’s favorite player…. just lost the game for the Bucs. Good job.
Where’s all the Talib supporters?
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
cut hiim
enough is enough trash talk is BS
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
way to go talib
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
THANK YOU TALIB FOR JUST LOSING THE GAME FOR US!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
And I thought i was a jOke
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
Well Capt. Tim- you are justified. You were right . Talib will never stop making dumbass decisions. Difference is this one happened on the field.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
25 should be benched for the duration of the game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
friggin headcase talib
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
f*** facemask penalties. the way i see it, we stopped them! they don’t deserve this first down they just got.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Where was this d earlier
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
And Raheem does not discipline him! What a surprise!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Clayborne is A BEAST!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Man defense played strong right there!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
amazing that they held to fg. just unbelievable
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Does Freeman have it in him for another comeback????????
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
If the Bucs continue to play Aquib TAlib I will not watch this team anymore, everbody call in to0 Raheems show tomorrow and voice your displeasure with this thug!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
That penalty really cost us some time. Still a nice stand though.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
How about Williams hitting Talib? No penalty for that?
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Aight, we got two minutes, time for Freeman to shine.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:10 pm
“25 should be benched for the duration of the game.”
Not Raheem’s favorite player!
But he’s an elite CB!
Cut Talib. He’s just more Gruden draft trash.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:10 pm
why didn’t D play like this all game
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:10 pm
GReat play by the D (25 not included)
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:10 pm
yeah, we could’ve had an entra 1:30 if Talib hadn’t gotten the facemask!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:10 pm
Are there any good CB’s in college
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:10 pm
“How about Williams hitting Talib? No penalty for that?”
Hell no. Not when the Bucs are hated by NFL refs.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:11 pm
@ 007 retaliation cost us 1:24 of time+
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:11 pm
let’s go tampa!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Aquib Talib = whats wrong with Americas youth and the “hip-hop” culture. I can not expose my children to this thug bs
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:12 pm
I don’t want to see Lumpkin or Talib in a Bucs Jersey ever again. Do you think someone would take him for a 5th?
Hell Talib doesn’t even cover the big name guys any more. They have Biggers on the #1 receiver each week.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:12 pm
snook…refs tried to take us out of last game too
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Ok so what have we learned today.
– Missing McCoy badly
– While there have been some good plays from our saftey’s, we really need TJAX. The safety’s play is suspect without hime.
– Our outside LB’s are pathetic. Where is Black? Nice signing.
– We have no RB’s after Graham was hurt. Bring on Stocker???!!??
– Our OL is badly damaged.
– Arriving early, allowing our team to sight see, play rugby and hit the local establishments has done nothing to our game.
– Trueblood still can draw a flag despite his new contract.
Totally amazed we are in this game.
Unfortunately in a way we are making this a game. After our last performance in the UK and the first three quarters of this game, I was hoping the UK would ban us from the UK.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:13 pm
mister comeback
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Come on Free!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:15 pm
@Steven
I know right? Speaking of “hip hop”, that’s the only thing kids at my school listen to is rap crap. Worst music ever.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:16 pm
Man Freeman is not making smart decisions….
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:17 pm
not today
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Well, f*** this crap. I’m outta here. Pathetic job by the coaching staff and this team today.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Ouch that hurts.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:18 pm
not today
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:18 pm
This game sucked!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:19 pm
“snook…refs tried to take us out of last game too”
I know. They do every game. For awhile now.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Freeman needs to be benched a few games, do he can get over himself. Yes, you could be a great qb, but when don’t really try it gets ridiculously painful to watch.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Can’t play like crap for 2.5 quarters and expect Freeman to always come back.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:20 pm
i think we can all agree that it is tough watching this team play shtty for majority of every ball game. forget fault because it is comes down on every level.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:20 pm
TWO TIME OUTS LEFT AND WE TRY TO FORCE A PASS,
CHOKE JOB FREEMAN
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Patrick- yeah pathetic job to have a chance to win on the last drive despite all the injuries. Your outta here? Go ahead and never come back. The Bucs almost won that game despite have ZERO running attack. The future is bright.. to all but the kneejerk dumbasses who think a new coach will all of a sudden take this young and very injured team to a super bowl. Bill Cowher maybe? Yeah it only took him FIFTEEN YEARS TO WIN HIS FIRST RING! But Raheem should be fired midseason.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:22 pm
who is coaching Freeman or is it himself, that he no longer moves out of the pocket, he refuses to run, what’s up
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Talib. you can’t cure stupid
cost 1:5 min.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:26 pm
srqrr: I was wondering the same thing. I don’t want him to run first I don’t want him be be a statue either.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:27 pm
Also I think a lot of our media who are former african american players give Raheem a bias and dont hold him accountable…. how do you put Talib back in…. I am serious, WE need to boycott this team if they ever play this thug again, plus he SUX!!!!!!!! IF Talib gone play, we wont pay…
If Talibs gonna play, we aint gonna pay, you think its been bad heh here in Tampa we embrace the guys like ALstott, Lynch Tony Dungy, Derrick Brooks… Nobodys going to games because the people that embrace that type of hiphop culture they got going at 1 Buc cant afford to go to games
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:27 pm
Well that was a terrible game to watch with a terrible finish. Idk what Freemans deal is. He looks like a completely different player this year. He just comes off as careless, and Joe was right, two timeouts left and we force a pass? The middle wasn’t there for us all day but they forced it anyway. Even the announcers said they should attack the outside with the receivers. I hope they get it together during the bye, injuries or not, there is no excuse for this.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:27 pm
EXACTLY, COULD HAVE BEEN THE REASON FOR FREEMAN FORCING THAT PASS WITH LITTLE TIME LEFT. STILL A CHOKE JOB BY FREEMAN
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Dear Bucs we need classy not trashy thank you
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:31 pm
nice try at a comeback, this game is on Free and the offense. Very dissapointing, thought we would be 5-2 heading to New Orleans. Lets get healthy, I will be at the game cheering on the Bucs in a huge game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:31 pm
Next thing we know Talibs gonna pop a cap in somebody midgame, while listening to 2PAC and wearing a jersey 3 times his size. Alll the while asking why he is getting discriminated against… Sound familiar? Everyday in da Ghetto now known as 1Buc
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:33 pm
Even with the running game being gone, the bucs have 4 quality wide receivers (Williams, Benn, Parker, and Briscoe) plus two good tight ends, an a guy to throw to them in Freeman against a pitiful Bears secondary, yet the Bucs failed to capitalize on this major advantage, by not loading up at wide receiver and spreading it out. I would accept not adjusting from a college team, but a pro team no matter how young must be versatile enough to adapt to adverse conditions. It is a fail by all parts of the Bucs organization that they didn’t adjust from their game plan when Earnest Graham was injured.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Young or not coach Rah needs to get some discipline on this team. The penalties are a direct reflection of lack of discipline. Being the second most penalized team isn’t doing much to help us win games.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Wheres the outrage about Americas thug child Aquib Talib ? How many of my fellow civilized citizens of the middle and upperclass will continue to watch and support this thugnation
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:39 pm
@Trey thats how it is in thugnation no accountability, no discipline, but boy can they run if only someone could teach a little accountability… Talib should not of been given a chance to even play… We want rolemodels for our children not more thugs
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:41 pm
@ Steven. Really? Talib made a stupid play and has not played well this year, has nothing to do with the music he or Raheem listens to. That is just ignorant. I guess when Mike Williams drops a pass, or T-Jack gets hurt its becuz of the music,
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Watching the broadcast where the camera trails away from Aquib Talib after the play, before the penalty, it is hard to say what exactly happened in that play, and who knows what happened the rest of the game to Talib. Waiting until 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter until you try in the game can’t be blamed on only one player. Requiring the defense to step up in the last few minutes of every game is not a player’s fault. If so, we might as well get angry at Corey Lynch for dropping that second pick. If he would have caught it, Talib would have been off the field. We all knew this game was “rubbish” and probably a throwaway loss since it was in London, so why don’t we show the Bucs where all their home games should be.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:46 pm
In Tampa ( the rays should be there too)
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Talib needs to be benched, but for who…Elbert Mack, E.J. Biggers, Anthony Gaitor, Myron Lewis, until we draft a quality DB, becuz we will not get one in FA, then he’s all we got. I cheer when he makes a play, and do not when he is not hustling. Becuz I am a fan of the Buccaneers
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:48 pm
@srqrr I bet that is the culture you identify with. I am more talking about the lack of accountability and discipline, have you been to Wal- Mart lately? Its that culture they feel entitled and lack discipline and accountability as a culture how many of your co-workers of that culture dont call in, how respectful of authority are they? Do they care? Yes I am making a generalization but its TRUE!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Well guys I’m out. I hope the Bucs have a good week of and come back rested and healthy. GO BUCS!
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:51 pm
He hasnt made to many playz this yr LOL anywayz was K2 doggin it to ?
October 23rd, 2011 at 5:05 pm
no wonder they keep getting BLACKED out! LOL ROFLMAO
