Bucs At Vikings, Open Thread
October 25th, 2012
OK boys and girls. It’s Thursday night and you probably can’t come to Tilted Kilt to drink with Joe. Stinks for you.
However, that doesn’t mean Bucs fans both young and old can’t participate in this here open thread as the Bucs square off against the Vikings in the wintry air of October under the warm glow of a soulless dome.
Have at it. Let all the world know what you think of how the game is transpiring.
And above all else, have fun!
Can the Bucs stop Adrian Peterson?
Can Donald Penn stop Jared Allen?
Was it dumb of the Bucs to activate Da’Quan Bowers so soon?
Can Josh Freeman throw for over 250 yards against one of the stingiest defenses in the NFL?
Will the fate of so many travelings teams playing on Thursday nights continue to haunt the NFL, along with the Bucs?
Inquiring minds want to know.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
Tonight is the night to earn some respect on national television.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
Must win……..We cant go 2-5
October 25th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
Three MUSTS to win tonight.1) MUST not turn the ball over 2)MUST tackle. Stop the run and be aggresive. 3) MUST establish an effective run game. Difficult tasks to acheive but if these are done, then Bucs will win.

“Bucs defense cant cover a sole” -deon sanders
October 25th, 2012 at 8:24 pm
I wanna see some screens tonight. Slow down that pass rush.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Outside of Harvin are they really going to be able to exploit our pass D? Ponder and the Vikes receivers dont exactly strike fear in my heart right now
October 25th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Kick it out of the endzone Mike lol
October 25th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Hey 3 & out!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Guess a little “dancing” at the line is not so bad. Peterson makes it look good.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
VJax had one on one coverage with Terrence Newman. Free has to keep going through his progressions.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
GREAT pressure!!! Woo hoo we look good
October 25th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
lets go BOWERS!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
C’MON DOUG!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
YES EFFING SIR!!!!! Teach me how to Dougie!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
muscle Hamster !!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
WHAT A RUN!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
YUK
October 25th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
How much you wanna bet we DON”T see Blount on the goalline? LOL
October 25th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
gotta take advaantage of this
October 25th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
c’mon Josh, play he has to mae. Good to see Connor back
October 25th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
I REALLY didn’t like that decision. The corner was already backed off. Not sure why theyre not going after Terrance Newman vs. VJax.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
OK 3
October 25th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Shiano said earlier that they were going to “re-evaluate the Blount/ goalline thing.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:55 pm
DUDE COME THE EFF ON!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:55 pm
YOU’RE CUT ROSCOE.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
parrish cut tomorrow
October 25th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
Specials not looking good
October 25th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I swear VJax is open every play
October 25th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
We look terrible on offense. The first one to score wins.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
We need Freeman to lock in. His touch is off.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
v-jax
October 25th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
vjax!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
nice throw Free !
October 25th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
….and right on cue. VJax. Throw it to him every play.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Just asking a question guys…
… does Freeman ever hit receivers in stride?
October 25th, 2012 at 8:59 pm
Here we go!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Is the protection that bad? appears Freeman taking a # of hits?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
@Jamaica
He hit Underwood on a cross in stride last series and Dougie just now… but for the most part no 🙂
October 25th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Oh dear god here we go first and goal on the 1 again
October 25th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
GO BUCS – Clark!
Big catch
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
I wanna see Doug Martin in on every play here…
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
LOOK AT THiS OFFENSE!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
Thank you we can score from the 1
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
okay this works
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
lorigg!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
wow – I’m speechless …
October 25th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
Eff YEAH !
October 25th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Man when we’re not shooting ourselves in the foot we’re a tough team to beat!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
think we can use another punt fumble recovery to get good field position?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:03 pm
I’m sorry to say I don’t think Blount should take reps from Doug anymore.
Free has been looking great since the bye week. I pray that it was just the system that had free pretty bad early on. I will gladly eat that crow if Free stays growing.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Keep kickin those touchbacks
October 25th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
@ Rican
Hey buddy welcome back to the club! Free’s getting hit every play, he hasn’t been perfect but he’s getting the job done.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Woohoo
October 25th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
@sensible buc
No truer statement can be made
October 25th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
AD is gonna pop one…oops spoke to soon.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Well done EJ!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
YES SIR!!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
Look at that replay! The Red Swarm defense!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
That was Biggers that got the ball loose.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Close!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
dodged a bullet… Mr Freeman
October 25th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
Yeah you can tell Dotson is a former bball player. Sheesh.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
that wasn’t free ..RT has to cut
October 25th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
Can we just talk about the plethora of formations and looks we have going on? Sully and the offense are looking better and more fluid every week.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
That’s why Doug should get 90% of the carries he fights and I haven’t seen him lose any yards even when he is met in the backfield. Blount dances Doug finds the and then hits the whole and keeps moving
October 25th, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Am I the only fan out there that gets absolutely sick of Freeman acting like its everyone else’s fault when we had a bad throw. Yes Josh, you threw it directly into the line of scrimmage. No one else’s fault but your own. Period!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Agreed Orlando
October 25th, 2012 at 9:13 pm
@DensibleBuc
Agreed sir! Looking very good.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
Free’s Stats: 6-12 for 55 yards and a touch. Doug: 8 carries 69 yards. That’ll do men. That’ll do.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
AP isn’t the only one running angry.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
ride the hamster
October 25th, 2012 at 9:15 pm
@ poolfixer70
LMAO
October 25th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Damnit we missed an open guy on that Benn’d around
October 25th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Come on Free!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Great decision. Lets take the 3
October 25th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
I love that play by Freeman! Get us to within 40 yards for field goal and Barth is money! Take the points. Smart play!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Well it was both Free and the blockers fault. The blocker need to CUTT him but Free needs to be more aware.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
that throw to benn was behind or he would of caught it I think
October 25th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
Now….can we actually keep a lead this game?? I think against the Vikes…yes.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:23 pm
Come on D, bend, dont brake!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
*sigh*
October 25th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
they just “ripped” through our defense
October 25th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
we need to score TD’s when we get in the Red Zone!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
So glad we gave Eric Wright that big money, long term contract. He’s such a turd.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
@bobby…………..Not so fast with adrian peterson and percy harvin
October 25th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
*facepalm*
October 25th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
C’mon… Dont collapse this early D!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
just answer
October 25th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Of all the corners on the market this year, we got that one.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Time to sit on the lead!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
what 3 yards deep
October 25th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
JESUS BENN do you even want to try? I’m going to start printing up some “Free Michael Smith” T-shirts.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Would love to know how a 6’6” QB gets balls batted down so often…
October 25th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Chris Simms @QB tonight
October 25th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Chris Simms @QB tonight
October 25th, 2012 at 9:30 pm
hes not looking in front of him
October 25th, 2012 at 9:30 pm
C’mon offense…drive down the field.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:30 pm
Momentum has changed
October 25th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
When has Ware done anything?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
@bucnnule
Yes every time freeman makes a mistake like throws it into someone he always throws his hands up like its someone else’s fault.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
that screen would have gone for 50
October 25th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Freeman STILL looks too hard at his first receiver
October 25th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Freeman STILL looks too hard at his first receiver
October 25th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
If we picked up Ware for his blocking we should cut him at halftime.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
that’s how we let momentum slip …
We needed a couple of 1st downs.
The D has to setup against AP and Co. again
October 25th, 2012 at 9:33 pm
Got to love the DJ Ware trifecta of whiffing completely on the chip, stumbling, and having the ball whiz right by his hands. I swear he does this every week.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:33 pm
Need an Interception!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
Captain Obvious here-
We need a defensive stand
October 25th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
THANK GOD!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
YEAH!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
Ronde!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
hell yeah
ronde
October 25th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
Barber is a veteran!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
striiiiiippppp
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Ronde is awesome.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Catch the ball Doug!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
NASTY stiff arm.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Martin is close to his first 100 yard game or am I wrong? Dont remember him having one yet.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:38 pm
CLAARRRRKKKKK
October 25th, 2012 at 9:38 pm
Lets go Bucs. Punch it in
October 25th, 2012 at 9:38 pm
ride the muscle hamster
October 25th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
@Silence
Nope. Got close against the Panties (95 yards) but that’s as close as he’s gotten.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Seriously why does Blount get touches maybe joe will write an article about giving Doug most of the carries.
And how old is ronde he seems like he’s playing for his job.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
wonder if blount get the call ? lol
October 25th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Ronde is playing for a statue
October 25th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Fade to VJax?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
What a catch mike Williams TD
October 25th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
Fade to Money Mike…just like I said.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
Martin appears to be at 92 yds at present
October 25th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Mike Williams is da bomb!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
the body control Wow
October 25th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
Martin is having a great game.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
I hope Koenen’s leg doesn’t get tired, then again maybe so
October 25th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
Get a sack D!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Remember when national pundits laughed at us for paying Koenen so much money? Yeah me neither.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
what call was that, Mike bennett in coverage
October 25th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
way to go Daniel i can’t pronounce your last name
October 25th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
you just got blown up!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
@ rrsrq
Yeah you live by the blitz you die by the blitz
October 25th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Ronde Barber field at Raymond James stadium any takers?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
why does the pash rush for the Bucs always leave an outside lane within the pocket for the qb to throw
October 25th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Who would’ve ever thought that Leonard Johnson would be the best corner the Bucs have in the field.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
WELL DONE LJ!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
How did we not challenge that interception, he caught it!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
That looked like an INT.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
How that int wasn’t reviewed under 2 minutes?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
@ GenocideD
Booth review after 2 minute warning.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Then how was it not reviewed! WTFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
I want to see that again at least!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Joe better write an article about how we just got hosed.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Over a hundy for Dougie!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
That should be 100. Congrats Martin.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
OVER IN THE FIRST HALF…
October 25th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
hundred yards for Martin at this point
October 25th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
We’re scoring on this drive
October 25th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
100… SORRY
October 25th, 2012 at 9:59 pm
Oops
October 25th, 2012 at 9:59 pm
So freeman almost throws a pick and yells at underwood. Hell even if he runs the wrong route he was covered and almost threw a pick.
Doug Martin 100+ yards in the first half. Um I think Blount can get cozy where he is.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
let’s go Bucs
October 25th, 2012 at 10:02 pm
@Orlando
I’m not going to kill Josh for that. Tom Brady does the same stuff and nobody gives him crap
October 25th, 2012 at 10:02 pm
I wonder how many showed at Tilted Kilt ?
I really wanted to go, but couldn’t.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:02 pm
why is our best player a zillion years old!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Nice first half
October 25th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Bucs looking great in the first half. I knew they would be capable of outplaying an overrated Vikings team, but they need to do it for 4 quarters. Halfway there. Lets Go Bucs!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:04 pm
@sensible
Agreed but tom Brady wins games and is at a totally different class of quarterback when josh gets there than maybe he earns the respect to blame others for almost throwing a pick.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:04 pm
22 is getting some love from Mayock. Well deserved. He will have abt 200 yards tonight. Dont get sloppy Bucs
October 25th, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Anybody think Ronde plays next year?
October 25th, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Anybody think Ronde plays next year?
October 25th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
No review on the INT which it definitely was!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Is anyone saying there’s nothing special about Doug Martin anymore? There sure were a whole bunch of you a couple weeks ago.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:08 pm
I love doug martin effort to get that first down, stiff arm, hurdle and a dive. Wow.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Martin runs that stretch play really well. Once defenses start keying on it he will be able to gash the middle and run downhill more which I think will be huge once they can mix it back and forth!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Who is taking Doug Martin with 160+ yards rushing this game?
October 25th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Keep getting creative with the blitz in the second half on D and get the ball into V.Jax and D.Clark more on O.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Can we give some props to this coaching staff. Even if we lose this game, which is very possible, our team is so much better than last year it isn’t even funny. Sullivan seems to have a good gauge on the offense, and I think we are 1 more good draft away frrom a really good defense. GO BUCS!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
IDK if Martin will rack up ALL the yards… don’t forget about Blount coming in to close it out late
October 25th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
agreed J 2.0
I’m very excited for the near future as well.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
@J 2.0,
I agree 100%, but that will never happen, especially not on this board.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
run and rest martin in the second half blount can break one also
October 25th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
@ J2.0
I absolutely agree at this point we are miles ahead of last year. Physically and mentally.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:15 pm
differing looks kinda smart now
October 25th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Ponder showing some good accuracy and decisions tonight under pressure. Can’t understand why they aren’t leaning on AP more. F’n idiots!!
That Mike Williams TD was play of the year for this team so far. Hope we can finish. Lets go TAMPA!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Please please keep this up guys
October 25th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Nooooo not Blount leave Martin in. Why change the pace of our running game.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
oh I get it the bucs are testing benns knee with the kneel downs
October 25th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
need some first downs to start the second half.
Good to see Clark getting involved
October 25th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
TOUCHDOWN BUCS!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
oh nevermind
October 25th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
Doug my favorite Martin is playing an unbelievable game!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
ok, maybe 22 will get 290 yards tonight
October 25th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
WOW!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
I saw the call Orlando – Martin a buck sixty plus …
October 25th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
170 yds!!!!!!
GO DOUGIE!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Let’s not even mention Blount in the same breath as Martin anymore OK?
October 25th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
dude can read blocks
October 25th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Joe must be going berserk now!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
teachem how to Dougie, Dougie, Dougie
October 25th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Offense has been looking better last few games. This is the first real defense we’ve seen in awhile.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:21 pm
GO BUCS. GO BUCS.
THURSDAY NiGHT baby
October 25th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
ha ha go booo birds go
October 25th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
@ Jamaica
I totally agree I was thinking the same thing. Joes Blount parade just got stalled by the hamster.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Martin! Martin! Martin!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Should we put Blount in now, because I’m not sure Martin is special.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
@hawaiian
Yeah I agree Martin hasn’t proven himself I’m sure there will be some kind of article saying why didn’t we rest Martin or Blount could do the same thing.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Christian ponder is about to harness his inner Drew Brees and take it over
October 25th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
Go 22, hit that hole
October 25th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
Running game is opening up the passing game
October 25th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Lol Blount has terrible vision
October 25th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Blount with the 1 yard gain!!! Seriously!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Twinkle Toes Blount
October 25th, 2012 at 10:31 pm
chewing up the clock on this drive!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:32 pm
minus the time out a touchdown
October 25th, 2012 at 10:32 pm
Do you haters ever get tired? This team is on its way up! Get on the ship or get off!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
Don’t be so glum China Buc fan…
… what’s been good is that the D is getting some time to rest, as the offense is using up the clock
October 25th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
get the ball up josh
October 25th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
5 wides?!? Who? Wha?
October 25th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
man…
… we could have used that 1st down
October 25th, 2012 at 10:35 pm
Hmmmmm. Almost appears that we’re imposing our will…
October 25th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
same thing the announcer’s said @poolfixer about putting up the ball higher and V-Jax using his height
October 25th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
check the tape – i have not seen the Bucs run a successful play after a time out, offensively or defensively – but they are playing a good game for the national audience, of course the national media will talk about how bad the Vikings played versus how good the Bucs are playing (so far)
October 25th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
we’re halfway thru the 3rd quarter
October 25th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Great T.O. on a 1st down play to change it to that? Jackson almost got his knee done for the year.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
WOW – the kicker just preserved our LEAD!
We have to continue to play SOUND football
October 25th, 2012 at 10:38 pm
Lets go Bucs Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
October 25th, 2012 at 10:39 pm
Block in the back?
October 25th, 2012 at 10:39 pm
Arrggghhh. we let the Vikes back in the game
October 25th, 2012 at 10:39 pm
Ok D, we gave them one, let’s get it back on the O
October 25th, 2012 at 10:40 pm
ERIC WRIGHT IS A BUM
October 25th, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Damn!! There goes that comfortable lead and run stop avg. We need to answer. We need to finish!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Yall are terrible fans. Tampa is a horrible sports town because of fair weather fans. Yes AD just scored but I believe our TEAM WILL PREVAIL! GO BUCS!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
The coaches getting too cute with the T.O. and risky blitz. Game day coaching needs some work.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
That’s a block in the back if a Buc makes that block.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
Ellllets go Freeman. Keep airing it out. We need to keep the pressure.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
It’s so tough to be a Bucs fan because you can’t enjoy a 13 point lead because we are just one play away from being one play away from losing this game.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
bad throw
October 25th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
Thats twice Free has thrown low…c’mon Free
October 25th, 2012 at 10:43 pm
Momentum shift…
October 25th, 2012 at 10:43 pm
why get conservative
October 25th, 2012 at 10:44 pm
special teams need some work
October 25th, 2012 at 10:45 pm
way to go mase
October 25th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
need a STOP
D-fence
October 25th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
Lets not blow this lead please Bucs. Our hearts can only take so much!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
great three and out
October 25th, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Great stuff D
October 25th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
Way to come out and play with confidence defense and get a 3 and out.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
OK the vikes have our run game figured out. Throw the ball
October 25th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
penn just said biotch
October 25th, 2012 at 10:50 pm
This is hard nosed buc ball
October 25th, 2012 at 10:51 pm
big nasty
October 25th, 2012 at 10:55 pm
Game on!
October 25th, 2012 at 10:56 pm
I don’t know who said it but I don’t think ponder has any bit of drew breese in him.
October 25th, 2012 at 10:56 pm
the d covered the O’s behind
October 25th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Couple crucial 3 and outs for our D
October 25th, 2012 at 10:58 pm
Taking him out when he was hot was a bad idea.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:00 pm
this is where Josh has to be a player and get this crowd out of it, make a play
October 25th, 2012 at 11:00 pm
Bucs playing not to lose again.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
I don’t like us getting conservative. Keep on pushing the ball down the field. Minnesota has shown they can strike quickly.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
We need a good play call here.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:02 pm
Our O line is getting trashed on every play. Not Freeman’s fault or Dougies
October 25th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Except for that play!!! Nice job tampa
October 25th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Big throw to VJ. Dump it off on a screen Allen’s way.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:04 pm
SSSHHHHH Haters! SSSSHHHHH!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:04 pm
Please get him out. Run Lorig for goodness sake just not him.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
What is wrong with blount? hes awful!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Blount in game. Clear sign that we don’t want anymore points.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
I love Blount but he’s just not getting anything done…
October 25th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Hard to believe we cut Underwood.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Shhhhhh douche bagsshhhhh
October 25th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
Hes not a bad player but hes playing he’s been playing really bad
October 25th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
Wow I didn’t know josh could roll out.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:07 pm
Ohh I am a douche for cheering for the BUCS and being positive haha
October 25th, 2012 at 11:07 pm
Oh shut up lol. No ones saying anything but that Martin needs to be in the game. Even on that run he neary broke it.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
I will be relentless against haters! Mike Williams in your face!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
MONEY MIKE! BOOM
October 25th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
WOW!
SAME PLAY AS LAST WEEK! IT WORKED AGAIN!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Amazing catch again
October 25th, 2012 at 11:09 pm
nice throw and catch
October 25th, 2012 at 11:09 pm
Nothing in the running game for anyone. O-Line looking tired.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:09 pm
can we run to the right ?
October 25th, 2012 at 11:09 pm
can we run to the right ?
October 25th, 2012 at 11:10 pm
That’s what I like to see.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:10 pm
I was JUST thinking, “Hey when’s the last time we threw a slant?” Boom. Well done Sully.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:10 pm
You are a d bag for using the word hater and your incessant complaining!! Be a fan. Let us be fans too. Ahole
October 25th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
It’s may not be much by its much more than what Blount would be getting.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Mike williams has showup big this year!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
I hear a whistle at the snap on every big play. Did we call a TO or what?
October 25th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
C,mon Bucs. We need a TD here
October 25th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
We have Carl Nicks on the left side. I’m fine running to the left every play. 😉 j/k
October 25th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
Even if we only get three (which is not what I want) the time we took off the clock was huge!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:14 pm
Give it to Blount from the one!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
THATS HOW YOU RUN ON THE GOALLINE!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Thats how you fight for yards and thats why Blount shouldnt get many carries.
Doug my favorite hamster martin
October 25th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Great job Martin.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
What a drive!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Yea Muscle Hampster!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Dougie is something special. Awesome way to answer with long drive and a TD!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:16 pm
That is a TD and a great drive, Josh showed up big time…
October 25th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Doug has over 200 total yards today.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Does anyone think Joe will call for more Blount carries this week somehow justify getting blount the ball more.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
Dude doesn’t even look tired.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
What a drive!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:20 pm
If defense pitches a 3 and out,
Game over
October 25th, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Don’t know but people will justify what they believe no matter what so whatevs.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Can some1 please stand up.. Its MArtin!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Freeman and Martin like pineapple too.
Ronde needs to comeback next year, he is flying around out there.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:21 pm
5 for 5 3rd down….
October 25th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
I WANT THEM TO GET TO 40!
HASN’T HAPPENED SINCE THE SUPER BOWL 🙂
October 25th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
Martin needs to stay in the game he has plenty of rest time this being a thursday night game
October 25th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
I don’t get all the LGB hate, Doug Martin having a great game, no one can deny, but it is still better to have two backs, this is the same Viking defense that Blount ran on last year. he is capable, but i am the first to say go with the hot back, a few weeks ago, didn’t Blount score a similar touchdown in short yardage
October 25th, 2012 at 11:23 pm
Orlando- absolutely not after this performance. However, there is a role for Blount on this team. I think a big one
October 25th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
Finish strong!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
We are humbling the “mighty Vikings”, in their house. Tampa is going to be an awesome team someday soon. One more great draft, and some tweaks, and we will be there. Remember, we still have some injuries to key people!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
It’s about this season not what he has done in the past. He’s had one good series this season otherwise he’s a one yard dud everytime it seems. I’m all for giving Doug some rest but unless Blount improves give someone else the carries.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Bowers looking strong!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Now you put blount in and tell him to run hard or else.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:30 pm
at least we don’t have the drama of a Roscoe Parrish punt return…
i know this is from earlier in the game, if Butch Davis is not a coach, then how does he have a headphones on, mmmm
October 25th, 2012 at 11:30 pm
If a 2-4 team can make a statement then the bucs just did…offense and defense. We played a very physical game and nearly hung quite a few more points on this team. I like this coach and this team.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:31 pm
The BENND around!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:31 pm
Harrison Smith is a baller
October 25th, 2012 at 11:31 pm
When the Benn’d around gets yardage you know you’ve had a great night!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:32 pm
Benned around goes for 8 yards biggest gain ever by that play. Everything is going the bucs way. That one was for Joe
October 25th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
AWESOME reverse by Blount!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Haha way to something big boi
October 25th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
To do*
October 25th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Retire the Gut Call please.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:36 pm
Nice Try big boi
October 25th, 2012 at 11:37 pm
I wish we could have that ap run back, cause we shut him down otherwise.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
LOL @ the three man line
October 25th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
Finish strong!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:39 pm
GO BUCS!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:40 pm
Wonder if roscoe is cut for the muff punt.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Love the way this team converted first downs when it counted and answered their scores. Except for one big AP run, our D was outstanding!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Leonard Johnson having a decent game
October 25th, 2012 at 11:42 pm
on Q
October 25th, 2012 at 11:42 pm
@rrsq
good call
October 25th, 2012 at 11:42 pm
LJ!!!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
WHY IS BENNET STILL IN THA GAME!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
UGH
October 25th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
On Q with the int
October 25th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
I wouldn’t be surprised. He hasn’t looked too great or reassuring.
Please let Bennett be ok.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
Nice way to end the game.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:44 pm
Can Leonard Johnson mean that we never have to see or hear about Myron “the horrendous” Lewis again? Please say so. Oh please
October 25th, 2012 at 11:45 pm
Great Game finally I can read some positive articles. Notice Freeman takes two steps back on the kneel down. Great Game GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
Great game ! #BUCS!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
First complete game we’ve played. Very good on both sides of theball.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:48 pm
Myron who?
October 25th, 2012 at 11:50 pm
Great game Bucs! MVP The Dougie!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
LETS GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:55 pm
Myron Lewis needs to be cut, and activate Anthony Gaitor back!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:55 pm
Ok so I Love Doug Martin even more after his post game interview he is a great player and respectful.
October 25th, 2012 at 11:58 pm
Dallas: I guess we misunderstood each other I am no hater and a new poster. I love my Bucs and this team!
October 25th, 2012 at 11:58 pm
For you pseudo Bucs fans that insist on bashing Freeman, go love on the Saint’s! As I pointed out on a previous post. Freeman second and third seasons were better than ELITE Brees’s in TDs, INTs, yards, and passer rating. Brees was almost two years older at these points in his career.You will say, “but Doug Martin…” I will say LaDanian Tomlinson! Guess what haters, Free is on pace to have a better fourth season as well. The kid is growing!
October 26th, 2012 at 12:01 am
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!
October 26th, 2012 at 12:02 am
Defense gave up a few big plays but the O did their job…what I like was:
1 int
2 forced fumbles
3 sacks
a few more TFL
October 26th, 2012 at 12:07 am
Why is Deion being a dick on NFLN about the Bucs? Did he lose money tonight?
October 26th, 2012 at 1:10 am
941- I didn’t call you a hater. You called us haters and I called you an f’n Doucheria for using that cowherd “hater” language. Quit trying to be the biggest fan in the house. Watch the game and try to enjoy yourself. Go Bucs!!
Truce
October 26th, 2012 at 1:17 am
Snook- great catch!! I saw that he was in the toilet over the Bucs win but you called it. He is a terrible analyst. Can’t argue prime time, I guess
