Seahawks At Bucs, Open Thread

November 27th, 2016

bucs cheerleader 0820And the beasts of the NFC are here, the nasty, physical Seahawks and their All-World quarterback.

Bucs win and they’re true contenders. Bucs lose but compete hard and most fans won’t go home crying.

But the Bucs bettter treat this like a playoff game. Nothing less is ok. Seattle is banged up and as beatable as they might ever be this season.

Bang your thoughts in the comments here all game long. And stick around for savage postgame coverage from the locker room.

  16. DR FEELGOOD Says:

    Can’t start with any better balance and POISE!!! This becomes OUR HOUSE today!!!

  17. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Just once this season I would like to see a statement win against a really good team…like the Seahawks.

    Not a back and forth or close game. A great win.

  18. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Noah Spence Sack!

  19. unbelievable Says:

    Is that a pass Rush?!?

    My gawd. Get em Spawn!

  20. cmurda Says:

    4 quarters of this boys

  21. A-Train Says:

    Ok McCoy fans see the difference in the line play when he is playing hard..

    This is how he should paly all the time.. He does not…

    Look at him push the double team and he was in at the QB twice..

    That’s a Million Dollar player…

  22. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Fantastic showing on defensive opening drive too.

    Very nice.

  23. WeAreLost Says:

    Looking good go BUCS!!!!!!

  24. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @A-Train

    You just had to go negative when we’re all having fun. Quit being a Debbie Downer.

  25. A-Train Says:

    BONZAI reread that post please..

    Positive on the impact McCoy can make in a game…

    HE is playing like a Million Dollar Man..

  26. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    I did read it. And you said he does not give play hard all the time…

  27. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    “This is how he should paly all the time.. He does not…

    Does not the rest of the line have to play hard too? Or do you just hold McCoy to that standard?

    (doesn’t matter what their pay is)

  28. A-Train Says:

    He DOESNT

    IF you don’t see a difference in his play just in the first series

    Watch the games…

    GO BUCS !!!!!!!!!

  29. jugheadfla Says:

    ME13

  30. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!

    HOLY CRAP!

  31. A-Train Says:

    Man Sherman is pissed

  32. duthsty rhothdes Says:

    FCK SHERMAN GO BUCS

  33. BuccaneEric75 Says:

    Wow

  34. jugheadfla Says:

    Sherman and Norman can go jerk each other

  35. DR FEELGOOD Says:

    YEAH BABY!!! Evans vs. Sherman!!! EVANS WINS!!!

  36. cmurda Says:

    Oh baby. O Line playing tremendous. What touch by JW. Keep this going.

  37. unbelievable Says:

    TAMPAAAAAAA
    BAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. cmurda Says:

    They were both holding each other. Good no call.

  39. Gencoimports Says:

    This is the point in Rocky III when Clubber Lang says, “Gotta lotta Mo! Gotta lotta Mo!”

  40. NjBucsfan Says:

    JW3 to ME13 is a dynamic combo

  41. DR FEELGOOD Says:

    And I don’t wanna hear how Doug Martin isn’t the man. He makes so many people miss!!

  42. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @A-Train

    I’ll agree to disagree.

  43. A-Train Says:

    THE LEADER SHOULD LEAD AND PLAY THE BEST ALL THE TIME”

    MCCOY DOESNT

    SORRY YOUR BLIND TO THAT FACT

    YES HIS PAY DOES MATTER ..IF YOU ARE PAID AS A SUPERSTAR YOU SHOULD PLAY AS A SUPERSTAR

  44. WeAreLost Says:

    Man NFL comment section not nice to the bucs.

  45. Artemis Rand Says:

    What is Sherman complaining about anyhow ?

    He has nothing to complain about. If anything, they could of called HIM for PI.

    What a bigmouth braggart. Still though, great player but a prima donna nonethless (although he is one of the ones who back it up).

  46. Rojas Says:

    NFL has McCoy and Spence with .5 sack. Keep bringing the pressure boys.

  47. A-Train Says:

    duthsty rhothdes : YES EXCELLENT POST

  48. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @A-Train

    Oh, so it’s okay to take plays off so long as you don’t get paid much?

    McCoy gives 100% every time he takes the field. Injured or not. Sorry you are blind.

  49. jugheadfla Says:

    Love seeing Carroll crying over there

  50. Curry-Winston Says:

    We are gonna destroy these peopleeeeeeeeeeee leeeeettttssss goooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Jameis is the truth my brothers cant u see wat we are witnessing….the new era is here…omg

  51. Artemis Rand Says:

    Sherman is a great player but man, he gets away with a lot of crap.

    He acts like EVERY play the WR should be called for a push off.

    With that type of whining he ought to be a receiver.

  52. unbelievable Says:

    Gotta make that tackle in the backfield! Damn!

  53. lurker Says:

    bad tackling

  54. A-Train Says:

    OK BONZAI

    Even Jamies has called McCoy out ….But you forgot that…

  55. A-Train Says:

    HERMAN looks like a baby

  56. jugheadfla Says:

    Spence playing possesed!

  57. cmurda Says:

    N Spence is baaaalllliiinnnn. Great play.

  58. Artemis Rand Says:

    Quit your bitching Sherman!

    Rules apply to you too!

    Geez. He thinks it is an insult to have to follow the rules.

    And Noah Spence. Wow.

  59. unbelievable Says:

    SPAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

  60. Rojas Says:

    1.5 sacks for spawn in the first quarter ! Going to be a long day for that tackle.

  61. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Noah Spence is our version of Von Miller!!

  62. Curry-Winston Says:

    If we can get jw the ball here one more time b4 Seahawks score he is gonna throw 4 td b4 the half, thats gonna b enough 4 me to b convince this game is over and russel just fumbled my brothers…here we go

  63. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Seabuzzard fans just got quiet…..thank you defense

  64. Artemis Rand Says:

    Richard Sherman holds, hand checks, grabs, etc.. on nearly every play and gets away with it most of the time.

    Just shut up dude.

  65. Chris Says:

    I believe I said Spence should have been an every down player early in the season

  66. A-Train Says:

    Herman is not use to a WR who will push back and not take his Cr*p

  67. Artemis Rand Says:

    Can you believe we have NOT had a double digit sacker since Rice got 13 back in 2005 ?

    Pathetic.

    (Although McCoy got screwed back in 2012 when he got 9.5 but was only credited with half a sack in the last game of the year when he CLEARLY took down Matt Ryan by himself. Got screwed out of 10 sacks that year)

  68. cmurda Says:

    Stupid holding. Stupid.

  69. A-Train Says:

    Pete is Pissed TOO

    crying SeaCrows

  70. A-Train Says:

    Where was the hold?

    I saw him fall and his hands up

    I didn’t see any jersey

  71. Chris Says:

    Jesus what a friggin crying team, I can’t stand these astards, I hope we do blow their doors off

  72. cmurda Says:

    You can challenge a penalty? The NFL needs to get their crap together. This is like Marvin Lewis throwing challenge flag when he has none and the refs reviewing it anyway. NFL needs to clear this ambiguous crap up.

  73. Artemis Rand Says:

    Thanks for giving them 2 free points and ball Luke. Way to not use the force.

  74. Bucnut2 Says:

    That’s a safety

  75. unbelievable Says:

    Richard Sherman knows if he cries enough eventually the ref will call offensive PI, even though he’s is grabbing and holding JUST AS MUCH as Evans.

    Whiney little b!tch. Hopefully the refs don’t buy in. They have been calling it fair so far allowing both guys to play physical. The way it should be.

  76. Chris Says:

    Same here A, saw him get trucked and the rusher fall over him

  77. Rrsrq Says:

    Bad hold by Stocker

  78. Artemis Rand Says:

    This is why we are 5-5 and not 7-3.

    This is why we are losing 10+ games every year.

    What does Luke Stocker really bring to the table anyhow ?

    Is he really that good of a road paving type of blocker ? I have not seen it.

    Anyway, 14-0 is now 14-2 + Seattle has the ball.

  79. NjBucsfan Says:

    I hate Pete Carroll

  80. A-Train Says:

    Oh Boy Pete got 2 points

    SPENCE DESTROY WILSON

  81. cmurda Says:

    I thought it was a hold but upon review, it was nowhere near a hold. Bad call by a ref that was right there. Screwjob #1 against the Bucs

  82. Artemis Rand Says:

    Stocker was a crap pick back in 2011 and he should of been flushed years ago.

  83. unbelievable Says:

    Terrible call to begin with! The dude just fell over him

  84. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Luke Stocker point total on the season

    -2

  85. ElioT Says:

    You had one job Stocker!!

    A**hole!

  86. Destinjohnny Says:

    That hurts

  87. unbelievable Says:

    This is such BS he didn’t even pull him down, he fell.

  88. A-Train Says:

    OPEN SHOT GOT TO GET A HIT ON WILSON WHEN HE RUNS

  89. A-Train Says:

    AYERS IS COMING

    SPENCE IS COMING

    DESTROY WILSON

    SEND PETE HOME cryingggggggggggggggg

  90. duthsty rhothdes Says:

    mcdougle is sooo terrible

  91. Rojas Says:

    Can we please get 2 safety’s this offseason it’s the weakest link in this defense.

  92. cmurda Says:

    McDougald. We need a replacement for this guy. He’s a liability. Doesn’t play the ball like a a safety should and he’s responsible for the RW run. That’s a weak link on our defense.

  93. Destinjohnny Says:

    Mental mistakes killing us

  94. Tbbucs3 Says:

    The one benifit of signing Sweezy so far is that he’s not playing for the Seahawks,

  95. Artemis Rand Says:

    stupidass

  96. duthsty rhothdes Says:

    mcdougle has 30 yd penalty and responsible for wilson on his 17 yd run

  97. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Conte>Mcdougal

  98. unbelievable Says:

    Got there too f@ckin early. Goddamit! C;mon Bucs pull your heads out of your asses

  99. cmurda Says:

    Come on Grimes. Make a play dude. Ball was right to you.

  100. BuccoDav Says:

    Ke

  101. lurker Says:

    grimes is overrated

  102. Rrsrq Says:

    Too many blown opportunities those series of plays… safety, PI and missed INT, gotta score to keep the pressure on.

  103. unbelievable Says:

    Grimes! almost my man

  104. cmurda Says:

    Conte is by far > McDougal. We just gave them 5 free points on a bad call and a mental collapse by our worst defender. That pass wasn’t getting completed anyway before McDipstick hits him early.

  105. Artemis Rand Says:

    14-5. could of been worse. then again, you could say that for them too.

  106. Rojas Says:

    Would love Malik Hooker back there. But we will mostly likely be out of range to land him.

  107. Chris Says:

    How many drop ints does he have? Catch the damn ball, almost as many slips

  108. unbelievable Says:

    Alright, still a 2 score game folks. But we really need to sustain a drive and score again here to gain the momentum back.

    No 3 and outs.

  109. Artemis Rand Says:

    Love the line push the Dline is getting on Wilson. Seahawks OL is getting pushed back consistently.

  110. Chris Says:

    Can we throw sometimes on first?

  111. lurker Says:

    imagine, if you will, a new safety, or 2, and a speed receiver…

  112. lurker Says:

    also, nice to have some starters back

  113. jugheadfla Says:

    should have been illegal contact

  114. cmurda Says:

    Do not throw long to Shorts. That is the worst effort Ive seen.

  115. cmurda Says:

    Stupid playcall Dirk. You’re falling off in the 2nd quarter dude. Get right team. We are fading .

  116. unbelievable Says:

    Whew, got lucky on that one

  117. Destinjohnny Says:

    Horrible call
    Should have gotten the first down on 2nd down

  118. lurker Says:

    what happened there?

  119. cmurda Says:

    No personal foul on Seahawks? Screwjob #2. And that’s some weak ass crap Dirk. Grow a pair.

  120. Destinjohnny Says:

    We had them on the ropes on that drive
    You got cute dirk

  121. Rojas Says:

    I have no idea what just happened.

  122. Rrsrq Says:

    Why do you bunch the backfield on 3rd and 2. RB has no room to even get started. That was a conservative call

  123. MarineBucsFan Says:

    Don’t mind the deep shot but damn Doug was open in the flat for the first down

  124. unbelievable Says:

    Yea didn’t like that call AT ALL

  125. celly Says:

    Would’ve preferred the check-down to Doug on 2nd down, but nothing wrong with testing the new Seahawks safety.

  126. jugheadfla Says:

    who is this D? Haven’t seen this in years!

  127. MarineBucsFan Says:

    I love what I am seeing from the Bucs defense

  128. unbelievable Says:

    Look at this D-line baby! Get em!

  129. Rrsrq Says:

    Kwon

  130. duthsty rhothdes Says:

    havent seen this intense of a defense in a long time

  131. MarineBucsFan Says:

    4min Offense to close the half

  132. unbelievable Says:

    Gotta put up some more points to close the half. Make it a 3 possession game to open the 2nd half.

  133. EA Says:

    That’s buc football right there

  134. lurker Says:

    wow! dline needed this.

  135. cmurda Says:

    Good stop. Hargreaves gets an assist on that play. He shadowed Lockett and thats where RW wanted to go. Good field position here boys. Call some plays Dirk and execute

  136. celly Says:

    What a difference a healthy D-line makes.

    WOW!!!

    Noah Spence learning to stop the run is the single best thing that has happened to this d-line.

  137. Rojas Says:

    Great field position. Let’s score a TD.

  138. cmurda Says:

    RW is so lucky he didn’t fumble. That ball was just hanging out there and didn’t get hit out.

  139. unbelievable Says:

    Brate was open early, should have thrown it then, these passes are getting dangerous

  140. lurker Says:

    still some scary decisions made by jameis christ

  141. A-Train Says:

    Is Rodgers health

  142. cmurda Says:

    Not a good idea. JW cant throw that screen. Its not there

  143. cmurda Says:

    Crap. Neeeded better plays after the pers foul.

  144. cmurda Says:

    That’s our 2nd rd pick. Never hits anything near 50 yards.

  145. jugheadfla Says:

    missing FGs is how we lose games

  146. lurker Says:

    comeon roberto

  147. ElioT Says:

    We could have had another WR or DT that misses kicks.

  148. Artemis Rand Says:

    NEVER DRAFT A KICKER!!!

    AS JOHN MCKAY SAID: KICKERS ARE LIKE GRASS. THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE!

  149. Matts17 Says:

    Who didn’t see that coming?

  150. lurker Says:

    smh…keep it together

  151. unbelievable Says:

    UGH. We are letting them hang around, and they got ball to start 2nd half. WTF!

  152. DallasBuc Says:

    AguaOh,no is not an NFL keeker.

  153. Destinjohnny Says:

    Man we need to stack chips against this team
    There pedigree is top notch

  154. Artemis Rand Says:

    Connor Barth would NOT of missed that.

    Neither would of Matt Bryant

    Hell, Michael Husted could still probably make that and he like, 50 years old.

  155. R.O. Says:

    Relax.. quit panicking.

  156. cmurda Says:

    The playcalling has gotten shoddy for us. Way too conservative against a team that leaves the middle of the field open.

  157. MadMax Says:

    It was a 48 yarder and he didnt miss it by much…..not a problem with me. THEY’RE STILL WINNING!

  158. NjBucsfan Says:

    He just started awkwardly…like he started with the wrong foot

  159. Destinjohnny Says:

    They should try and have usf and the bucs not play on the same weekend

  160. MarineBucsFan Says:

    I thought he would make that for sure. It was on the right hash which is where he likes it?? Gotta push it at least a little left on that kick right.

  161. Artemis Rand Says:

    This is why you don’t draft kickers unless it is in the last (2) rounds.

    Unless it is the 6th or 7th round it is a waste.

    THIS is why we have not made the playoffs in 9 seasons.

  162. celly Says:

    As soon as I heard the announcer say:

    He’s hit 7 in a row after starting the season off rocky

    I just knew he was going to miss it. That’s how it ALWAYS goes.

  163. DallasBuc Says:

    Cue the apologists

  164. Artemis Rand Says:

    Damn arrogant Seahawk fans. They can all go to hell.

  165. Rrsrq Says:

    Needed that FG, don’t need anything to break the momentum. I do think Dirk is going turtle though with these short passes and looking for a break a tackle. You want to know what those passes look like, look at that Gabriel dude for ATL who they got, I’m sure we played against him in preseason and saw his speed. But I digress, let’s keep it going defense

  166. SB with Jameis Says:

    In my 50 years I have never done the Warchant. I decided to do it with my Entire family for Aguayo’s FG attempt. I will Never do it again

  167. EA Says:

    There

  168. MarineBucsFan Says:

    Why did Raymond James host a College game yesterday. We need the field in its best condition for our kicker

  169. unbelievable Says:

    Agreed Destinjohnny. It always f@cks up the field for the NFL games. That being said, Roberto should have kicked that better. Gotta have more of angle from the hash than that.

  170. Patrick Says:

    Sorry. Aguayo still sucks

  171. unbelievable Says:

    lol @ celly, I thought the same thing. I was like “stfu man!”

  172. ElioT Says:

    Come on defense

  173. Artemis Rand Says:

    USF should just go ahead and play games at their soccer stadium. After all, it will hold their minuscule 3000 person fan base.

  174. Rrsrq Says:

    Time for a Chris Conte pick

  175. jugheadfla Says:

    2 holds on that last run

  176. unbelievable Says:

    How was that not a holding penalty?

    The NFL hates our Bucs so much

  177. jugheadfla Says:

    another hold on that one as well

  178. Artemis Rand Says:

    Seahawks have lived a charmed life when it comes to calls since they got screwed over in the 2005 SB.

  179. jugheadfla Says:

    the only way Wilson gets outside is if someone holds

  180. cmurda Says:

    Where are our prized LB’s? This is beginning to get old. Shoot our load in 1st quarter and no good after that

  181. Rrsrq Says:

    Verner

  182. jugheadfla Says:

    AV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  183. cmurda Says:

    Yes. Needed that.

  184. unbelievable Says:

    THERE WE GO! AV21 coming on strong!

  185. NjBucsfan Says:

    Way to go Verner!!!

  186. Artemis Rand Says:

    No conservative offense. Go all out.

    Got one for his dad too!

  187. ElioT Says:

    Wow! Nice f**king play Verner!!!

    Wow!!!

  188. Rojas Says:

    Well deserved for Verner.

  189. MarineBucsFan Says:

    I’m happy for Verner. RIP pops

  190. unbelievable Says:

    Let’s put some damn points on the board this drive. Go Bucs!

  191. Artemis Rand Says:

    got (2) TO’s only need 30-40 yards for a FG attempt (yeah, I know).

    try to score!

  192. MadMax Says:

    Congrats Mr. Verner my thoughts are with you.

  193. Artemis Rand Says:

    fox needs to get their graphic fixed. then again, maybe the bucs have six timeouts, lol…

  194. lurker Says:

    this whole team is different.

  195. MadMax Says:

    He was out of bounds! WTF!

  196. cmurda Says:

    WTF? How is he in bounds. Screwjob #3

  197. unbelievable Says:

    Un-f@cking-believable.

    Ugh

  198. NjBucsfan Says:

    Horrible call and the fat a$$ officials couldn’t even get the ball to the spot

  199. jugheadfla Says:

    what does knocking him back have anything to do with it?, he was going forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  200. Rojas Says:

    Clearly was out of bounds but ok.

  201. cmurda Says:

    WTF? I need an explanation on the new NFL. I’ve been watching every game every year and I still don’t understand the pathetic NFL anymore. How in the frig is Brate inbounds?

  202. Destinjohnny Says:

    Shouldn’t have used that 3rd time out

  203. R.O. Says:

    Learn the rules before you whine!!

  204. NjBucsfan Says:

    The NFL wants the Seahawks to win. Hopefully we can ruin their plans!

  205. unbelievable Says:

    The NFL hates the Bucs.

  206. cmurda Says:

    Not even a review or anything on that. You suck refs. The NFL’s darlings get more breaks.

  207. Chris Says:

    Well guys, we knew we were up against the Seahawks and the NFL in this one

  208. Rrsrq Says:

    Points left all the board. Can we keep the momentum

  209. celly Says:

    when you go out of bounds going BACKWARDS, the clock continues to run….

    sucks, but that’s the rule and has been for quite a while.

  210. lurker Says:

    that was crap. brate pulled a giraffe

  211. Artemis Rand Says:

    You want to know why the ratings for the NFL keep dropping ?

    Well, the BS officiating is one of them.

    It is like they just guess.

    The officiating in this league is really, really effed up and the league needs to fix it.

  212. cmurda Says:

    So, tell us the rules oh amazing R.O. I actually asked for an explanation. Give it

  213. Matts17 Says:

    Horrific clock management. Dirk’s OJT continues.

  214. unbelievable Says:

    Its where the contact and forward progress is made, which was in bounds.

    But the refs have already screwed us on at least 3 other calls today.

  215. Chris Says:

    Also if our kicker was able to kick near 50

  216. Rojas Says:

    The ref also took his time to get the ball back..

  217. cmurda Says:

    Thanks Celly. I didn’t know that. I don’t understand the rule. It makes little sense but at least you explained it.

  218. R.O. Says:

    Rule is simple the player need to go out of bounds himself. It was the hit that knocked him out. Easy rule..

  219. unbelievable Says:

    The NFL still hates the Bucs.

    Terrible holding call against Stocker, that was then challenged and deemed a safety?!?

    2 different plays with glaring holds by Seattle not called.

    This is exactly why ratings are going down. There is no consistency to officiating. Player to player, team to team, game to game. Nothing is consistent.

  220. Artemis Rand Says:

    Ever since the NFL screwed the Seahawks against the Steelers in that SB they (Seattle) have lived a very, VERY charmed life.

    It is like the NFL has tried to make it up to them.

    Has anyone ever seen a team get such a pass on seemingly every call over the past 5 or so years ?

  221. NjBucsfan Says:

    We should have spiked it before calling the 3rd TO

  222. ElioT Says:

    Shoulda spiked the ball after that Sheppard catch. Dumb move by Dirk.

  223. Artemis Rand Says:

    @ unbelievable:

    Remember the phantom “blow to the helmet” called on Adrian Clayborn against Drew Brees back in 2013 ?

    Exhibit A.

  224. unbelievable Says:

    ^^ Yup. Way to early to call the timeout, especially given the field position.

  225. Rojas Says:

    Dirk needs to work on clock management.

  226. lurker Says:

    clock management was much improved though, as was not kneeling and going for it

  227. unbelievable Says:

    Oh, I remember that play so well Artemis. It’s been happening ever since we won the superbowl to be honest.

  228. R.O. Says:

    Shoulda.. woulda.. coulda… no matter what you people would have said the opposite…

  229. Artemis Rand Says:

    @ unbelievable:

    Yeah, and that play could of changed not only the entire outcome of the game but possibly the entire Schiano era and Josh Freemans tenure.

    What would of happened had LVD not had that terrible call against the Jets or if the Bucs had rightfully gotten that fumble the following week against N.O. ?

    I don’t see Schiano benching Freeman after being 2-1 although I do see Schiano dumping him around midseason though so everything would of ended up the same probably but it just would of taken a few months longer.

  230. Artemis Rand Says:

    Despite the points left off the board we are still up 14-5 and if we can sustain the DL pressure in the 2nd half I don’t see us losing TBH.

    Of course, I also expect Wilson to settle down and get into a grooved too. In fact, I expect both QB’s to settle down in the 3rd quarter.

    Would not surprise me if the 2nd half is a shootout (at least by Bucs standards).

  231. Bucnut2 Says:

    Gang- it’s not the ref’s. It’s us. Every fan in the NFL feels the same. It’s up to us to overcome ALL obstacles. For the record, the Refs didn’t mis a FG or mismanage the end of the half.

  232. Artemis Rand Says:

    @ unbelievable (and everyone else):

    Does this look like unnecessary roughness to you ?

    http://www.tampabay.com/resources/images/dti/rendered/2013/09/c4s_penatlies091713_11537351_8col.jpg

  233. unbelievable Says:

    The consistency of officiating is a huge problem, regardless of our missed plays towards the end.

    We are still up by 2 scores, but we really need the defense to come out strong and make a stop on their opening drive. LETS PUT THIS GAME AWAY BOYS!!

  234. Rojas Says:

    Verner playing with passion !

  235. unbelievable Says:

    F@CK YEA DEFENSE!

  236. Artemis Rand Says:

    Really surprised we didn’t get called for 15 there.

  237. lurker Says:

    verner was beaten by 2 steps…we got lucky

  238. Rojas Says:

    We gotten good field position 3 times now. It’s time to put some more points on the board.. make it a 3 score game

  239. Pit Says:

    We aren’t winning. Stop whining. Wtf is wrong with you.

  240. LovieBall Says:

    Toss is the worst play we have and I see it too much.

  241. Artemis Rand Says:

    BS spot. He had the first on the catch. wtf.

  242. Matts17 Says:

    So dirk doesn’t challenge a bad spot on 2nd and then follows up with a terrible play call on 3rd down.

  243. Destinjohnny Says:

    Man qb sneak that
    We R Leaving so much $ on the table

  244. Artemis Rand Says:

    Brate had that first down. Bucs get screwed AGAIN!

  245. MarineBucsFan Says:

    Let’s gooo!!! Some of you act like we losing. We playing Seattle and we up 14-5. It’s a dog fight!!!

  246. tval Says:

    Not gonna win wth koetter calling game like jimbo. Terrible w jameis playing lights out

  247. Artemis Rand Says:

    They didn’t even freaking bring out the chain gang either!

    I mean, what does it take to have a measurement these days ?

    I would like to check the bookie lines in Vegas tonight and correlate them with Bill Vinovich’s bank ledger.

  248. lurker Says:

    u guys are silly…

    i thought he was short of a first, and probably so did his replay person, so why waste a timeout. you guys would then bish that he wasted a timeout. smh

    also, the bucs got away with a hold on the punt. calls go both ways

  249. MarineBucsFan Says:

    I agree, that was a bad spot

  250. MarineBucsFan Says:

    But not worth a challenge

  251. lurker Says:

    bad tackling again

  252. Artemis Rand Says:

    LVD needs to go from a really good LB to a great LB.

  253. lurker Says:

    grimes lucky no-call and overrated

  254. Artemis Rand Says:

    Surprised Conte didn’t get called for PI there. After all, they have gotten all of the calls so far.

  255. Artemis Rand Says:

    THAT is a LB tackles (Kwon)

  256. Artemis Rand Says:

    Bucs appear to hold again.

  257. ElioT Says:

    Defense is doing their part here.

    Jameis & Co. need to put up another TD here.

    Let’s f**king go boys!!!!

  258. Artemis Rand Says:

    Bucs are playing with fire here folks. Seattle will start to break through sooner or later.

  259. MarineBucsFan Says:

    I hate that we are letting them stick around. We are outplaying them, put me away!

  260. Artemis Rand Says:

    Sherman with another hold. WTF!

  261. Artemis Rand Says:

    CALL IT REFS! HOLDING ON SHERMAN!

  262. Pit Says:

    Stop complaining bitches

  263. orlbucfan Says:

    4 friggin’ sacks in the first half???? On Seattle??? Are you kidding me?????? And of course, refs get in the act. That AIN’T NOTHING NEW!!!! Please if there is any justice in football world, we will beat this bunch!!!! GO BUCS!!

  264. Artemis Rand Says:

    @ orlbucfan

    I would like to check Bill Vinovich’s bank ledger later tonight after this is all said and done.

  265. Chris Says:

    WTF triple coverage

  266. cmurda Says:

    These effing 2nd down runs Dirk. It will never work against this front and then you make us predictable. Come on dude.

  267. MarineBucsFan Says:

    Anger keep pinning them deep!

  268. Artemis Rand Says:

    Humphries was open in the middle too. Need to take what they give you.

  269. satchseven Says:

    jw3 stop forcing to me13 quadruple coverage there

  270. Chris Says:

    With you C, throw on these guys on 1st 2nd down

  271. Artemis Rand Says:

    Bucs keep playing with fire.

  272. lurker Says:

    offense is stalled.

    freakin anger has been boss all season. the only constant so far.

  273. Bucnut2 Says:

    seattle is taking control

  274. ElioT Says:

    They’re letting this team hang around.

    Gotta get more than 14

  275. orlbucfan Says:

    Bucs still up by 2 scores. Cripes, this the usual Cardiac Bucs game.

  276. Patrick Says:

    Lol shut up Pit

  277. lurker Says:

    short

  278. cmurda Says:

    Nice hold. Keep that heart boys. Lets go Bucs.

  279. Rojas Says:

    Defense is keeping us in front. We need another TD or FG.

  280. Artemis Rand Says:

    Oh, but they’ll give them a measurement here but not on the Brate catch.

    Exhibit A to the jury your honor.

  281. unbelievable Says:

    Alright Jameis, o-line— Time to settle down, play tough and lets put this damn game away!

  282. MarineBucsFan Says:

    0 for 7 on third downs…. wow!!

  283. Chris Says:

    Nice 80 yrd clock consuming drive ordered up

  284. lurker Says:

    let it go rand…

  285. BuccaneEric75 Says:

    Bucnut2, always negative.

  286. ChanEpic Says:

    So proud of these Bucs! We’ve gotta pull this win out! Go Bucs, Happy holidays.

  287. cmurda Says:

    This is when we don’t need offensive penalties. Discipline offense. Lets do this.

  288. cmurda Says:

    Illegal use of hands against Marpet. Never gets called on the opposition. Thanks zebras.

  289. cmurda Says:

    I told you not to throw long to Shorts. Dude can;t make a play on a ball deep.

  290. lurker Says:

    we need a new speed receiver

  291. Artemis Rand Says:

    @ cmurda

    If Shorts is still on the field and getting plays then that must of meant Kenny Bell was REALLY overvalued and they never thought he would develop.

  292. cmurda Says:

    Anger for President. Great coverage guys. Lets do this defense.

  293. cmurda Says:

    True Artemis.

  294. Artemis Rand Says:

    Hey Fox, give us a shot at what Hawley saw!

    You know you have it!

    Sounds like he was cheapshotted.

  295. Rrsrq Says:

    Third quarter a draw, we need to win the fourth.

  296. Artemis Rand Says:

    This is what I was afraid of – Seattle is starting to speed up the tempo. Starting to get scary here folks.

  297. cmurda Says:

    No hands to face against Seattle though

  298. Artemis Rand Says:

    Geez. Talk about a SB hangover for the Panthers. Just proves how much you HAVE to win it when you get there b/c you may never get back.

  299. cmurda Says:

    No timeout should have been called. I hope we don’t regret burning these timeouts.

  300. lurker Says:

    2 timeout gone…smh

  301. Rrsrq Says:

    DeeeeeeFeeeense

  302. Artemis Rand Says:

    Geez. Is EVERY commercial about guys that can’t get it up ?

    Eat some oysters or something, lol..

  303. cmurda Says:

    Nice redeeming play McDoug

  304. NjBucsfan Says:

    Fantastic D

  305. Artemis Rand Says:

    BTW, Lethal Weapon tv show: cancelled after a handful of episodes. Looks lousy. Wayans is too old to be paired with such a young guy.

  306. Artemis Rand Says:

    How can that not be holding ? Spence was tackled
    !

  307. Artemis Rand Says:

    TRUCKED EM!!!

  308. BuccaneEric75 Says:

    Drive the ball!

  309. StAugBuc Says:

    Atremis,
    Take a Valium and just enjoy the game

  310. Artemis Rand Says:

    Win or lose this game is a perfect example of how much the Bucs need a 2nd receiver. I like Humphries, a lot in fact. He has a lot of Karl “The Truth” Williams in him but he is no #2.

    VJ would be perfect if he was still 28 years old but he is not.

    The Bucs whiffed on Kenny Bell and Shorts is simply taking a paycheck.

    Shepard is not bad but not a #2.

    Bucs need a legit #2 speed receiver. Open the bank vault if you need to but go get one.

  311. Artemis Rand Says:

    @ StAugBuc

    I can’t. I have OCD

    1-2-3-4. taps foot.

    1-2-3-4 taps foot.

    1-2-3-4 taps foot

  312. cmurda Says:

    You gotta be kidding me Doug. Every game he does this late. Unfriggingbelieveable. Martin is so unreliable.

  313. Artemis Rand Says:

    Did you see #55 for Seattle ? HA! looked 100% lost!

  314. BuccaneEric75 Says:

    Thank you, Martin.

  315. Rrsrq Says:

    Darn it Doug

  316. The Real Drew Says:

    Butt fumble

  317. EA Says:

    As Lovie would say, that’s buc football right there.

  318. cmurda Says:

    The heart attack Bucs thanks in large part to another D Martin fumble back at it. Giving fans the ride of their lives. Can’t just play fundamental when it matters. Rule #1 Doug. DONT FUMBLE DUDE

  319. Artemis Rand Says:

    way to go mister big contract.

  320. satchseven Says:

    hard run good play by seattle

  321. lurker Says:

    why are we not putting this to bed?

  322. Rrsrq Says:

    Let’s get it back

  323. Artemis Rand Says:

    Bucs had them big time on the ropes. they were driving and were going to score a TD. everyone in the damn stadium and watching knew it and then doug had to eff it up.

    just gave ALL of the momentum to Seattle.

    Turning point of the game right there folks.

  324. Bucnut2 Says:

    My prediction Seahawks 15-14

  325. cmurda Says:

    We’re the Bucs Lurker. When does that happen?

  326. WestCoastBucsFan Says:

    Can we get Mike James some touches now? He only ran for 158 against the Seahawks once.

  327. lurker Says:

    martin knocked it out himself…smh

  328. Artemis Rand Says:

    Completely unforced too!

    UNFORCED!

    I can understand it being punched out but he simply dropped it!

  329. orlbucfan Says:

    He probably got hit in the face, but so be it. Seahawks are holding like crazy. Seattle still down by 2 scores. Come On Cardiac Bucs!!

  330. cmurda Says:

    I can’t believe D Martin haunts us again. So pissed at that dude. He ran hard too.

  331. Artemis Rand Says:

    IG come on. he was NOT out of the pocket!

  332. cmurda Says:

    OMG please tell me Graham funbled that

  333. NjBucsfan Says:

    Huge. Better stand!

  334. lurker Says:

    great turnover but i think he was down

  335. Artemis Rand Says:

    it was out cmurda!

  336. cmurda Says:

    He wasn’t Lurker. That’s a fumble. Don’t think L David was touched down either

  337. lurker Says:

    i meant david was touched down

  338. Artemis Rand Says:

    it was out. i am telling you. even seattle wont win this one!

  339. cmurda Says:

    Yeah Artemis. The replay proved it

  340. Gencoimports Says:

    Bucs ball. But I think the return is coming back

  341. MadMax Says:

    Needed that turnover….. Lovie must be smiling!

  342. lurker Says:

    nope, david didnt have possession of the ball yet…..yeah

  343. Artemis Rand Says:

    LVD was not down either! that return will stand

  344. LovieBall Says:

    What is David’s 40 time? Looked like a lineman out there.

  345. Artemis Rand Says:

    can someone explain the term “lurker” to me in how it relates to this ?

  346. Rrsrq Says:

    And we get it back

  347. A-Train Says:

    Wish that ref would tell Pete to stop crying

  348. StAugBuc Says:

    Now you can relax, Artemis

  349. lurker Says:

    lol

  350. unbelievable Says:

    DIRK WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

  351. A-Train Says:

    About time we start getting some others in the game

    Throw it around to different people

  352. Artemis Rand Says:

    I don;t know what is worse: Moose Johnstons herb tarlek suit or his assesment that LVD was down by contact.

  353. MadMax Says:

    Come on guys!!!!

  354. celly Says:

    ABSOLUTELY have to put some points on the board this drive.

    Even a FG forces the Seahawks to score 2 TDs.

  355. Rrsrq Says:

    Can’t take Dirk going conservative and predictable

  356. The Incredible Hulk Says:

    SMASH!!!!!

  357. Artemis Rand Says:

    yeah but even a td still keeps it a 2 score game.

  358. unbelievable Says:

    There it is! FINALLY!

  359. MadMax Says:

    F U REFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  360. cmurda Says:

    LOL at the NFL. I mean, um refs, for the BS calls that they dont call against Seattle.

  361. unbelievable Says:

    UHHHH ARE U FREAKIN KIDDING ME? DOTSON! WTF!!!!

  362. lurker Says:

    what the frack…

  363. A-Train Says:

    These refs are killing me…

    BS call

    NFL is making this look bad

  364. unbelievable Says:

    Falling apart

  365. NjBucsfan Says:

    There was no penalty there

  366. lurker Says:

    has he gone a game without a penalty?

  367. cmurda Says:

    Mother eff the NFL. Making sure Hawks stay in this game and JW That was stupid sir.

  368. Patrick Says:

    UNBELIEVABLE.

  369. The Real Drew Says:

    Sooooooo stupid

  370. Matts17 Says:

    Inexcusable throw by Winston. Awful decision.

  371. A-Train Says:

    why are we throwing to the double… HUMPHRIES catches the ball

    Brate catches the ball

  372. cmurda Says:

    Refs called an invisible penalty to keep Hawks alive. I swear this is the most asinine crap Ive veer seen refs. You have to be kidding me with the hate against Tampa.

  373. Artemis Rand Says:

    talk about a charmed life.

  374. lurker Says:

    whywhywhy and no points smh

    again, iffy decision

  375. celly Says:

    For all of you complaining about the conservative play calling, you’re not allowed to complain about that Winston throw….

  376. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Thanks alot Dotson u b1tch

  377. unbelievable Says:

    That’s all on Jameis.

    Now we just gotta run the clock out.

  378. AtlBucFanDan Says:

    just wanted to chime in here and say that these refs this year are worse than the Browns

  379. Pit Says:

    Go BuCS. We are still winning this.

  380. satchseven Says:

    i wish jw stop forcing to evans hump was open

  381. celly Says:

    Run the ball and take the FG, but i’m sure most of you would’ve complained with that decision…

  382. Artemis Rand Says:

    awful decision, yes.

    Even worse on the refs.

    I believe, 100%, that there are refs on the take in this league.

  383. EA Says:

    I called the int, stupid

  384. WestCoastBucsFan Says:

    Humphries looked open there!

  385. A-Train Says:

    I hate to say it but it makes you WONDER ??? Does the NFL really want the Seaducks to lose

  386. AtlBucFanDan Says:

    That was a ghost penalty on DOt, btw…

  387. Gencoimports Says:

    McCoy haters better shut up

  388. Chris Says:

    There’s the McCoy signature sack

  389. cmurda Says:

    McCoy and company defying the refs. Lets go D. Beauty GMC.

  390. NjBucsfan Says:

    Someone forgot to tell the Bucs the NFL wanted Seattle to win this.

  391. Broy34 Says:

    EVERYBODY SHUT THEIR MOUTH ABOUT MCCOY

  392. unbelievable Says:

    So does that count as an impactful play from 93?

    I’m sure people will still try so say no.

  393. MarineBucsFan Says:

    McCoy!!!

  394. duthsty rhothdes Says:

    finally he made a play when it counts

  395. celly Says:

    This is now 4 down territory for the Seahawks, so defense, time to keep doing what y’all been doing…

    Go Bucs….

  396. A-Train Says:

    Jamies stuck on throwing to Evans

    HE moved the ball around better last week

  397. celly Says:

    @unbelievable…

    it didn’t come on the last play of the game, so obviously not…

    /sarcasm

  398. cmurda Says:

    1 more play D. You have to worry about the refs inventing a penalty though

  399. lurker Says:

    boom shakalaka

  400. AtlBucFanDan Says:

    … no call on the false start either

  401. A-Train Says:

    Got to back up the sack

  402. cmurda Says:

    Wow. Wide open guys. Seriously D. Now?

  403. NjBucsfan Says:

    Dammit!!!!

  404. RustyRhino Says:

    This is how and why Mr McCoy should get paid his money moments like this YES! Thank you!

  405. Artemis Rand Says:

    Is the mere thought that there is at least ONE NFL ref on the take or at least ONE NFL ref that has bet on a game or taken a bribe out of the realm of possibility ?

    I used to laugh at such a thing.

    Now ?

    It is not only possible, but downright probable.

    Look at this sort of garbage. Too much to simply be a fluke. It is a legitimate pattern.

  406. A-Train Says:

    HE we go Defense

    Stomp a MUD HOLE

  407. MadMax Says:

    6 sacks!!!! WOW!

  408. lurker Says:

    what the heck now

  409. orlbucfan Says:

    Good christalmighty, refs are doing all they can to help Seattle. Seattle still down by 2 scores with 3:37 left. Seattle holding all over the place–no calls. WOOOOOOOOOO, sack #6!!!!!!!! We are going to win it!! I’m in shock and thank gawd I have low blood pressure!!

  410. celly Says:

    When was the last time the Bucs had a 6 sack game (with the majority coming from the front 4)???

  411. Artemis Rand Says:

    At this point guys all we need to do is to recover the onside kick should they score. They won’t have the TO’s or the time to get the ball back.

  412. NjBucsfan Says:

    That cushion by Grimes is killing me

  413. MadMax Says:

    Who is this Ryan Russel???? HE’S A KEEPER!!!! 2 SACKS TODAY!!!!!!!

  414. Chris Says:

    Lol, their offensive lineman got hands to the face on every down

  415. unbelievable Says:

    Not crazy, these refs have definitely been doing everything possible to help the Seahawks.

    Poor spots for us, generous spots for them. Not calling holding on any of their lineman. BS hands to the face against us. The BS holding, that somehow became a frickin safety! Ugh!

    C’mon Bucs, you deserve this WIN!

  416. AtlBucFanDan Says:

    Did Vince McMahon buy the NFL?

  417. mixxx31 Says:

    Damn I wish GMC would male a play in the 4th quarter

  418. A-Train Says:

    6 sacks and NO HOLDS CALLED on SEADUCKS…REALLY

  419. satchseven Says:

    jw makes three throws a game that are plain dumb forcing to me13

  420. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    I thought we played well during points last week and we’ve done the same thing this week against another good team.

    But we still are not quite there yet. We haven’t played near our best. When we do we’re going to be scary.

  421. MadMax Says:

    COME ON D! FINISH THAT $HIT!!!!!!!!!!

  422. BuccaneEric75 Says:

    Bucnut2, YOU ARE WRONG! AS USUAL! 15-14, MY A$$! GO, REAL BUCS FANS!

  423. Chris Says:

    Ballgame fellas

  424. MadMax Says:

    BOOM! GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  425. NjBucsfan Says:

    DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE!!!

  426. duthsty rhothdes Says:

    great pic but what a dumm fk… FALL DOWN… BUCS WIN GREAT WIN

  427. AtlBucFanDan Says:

    Looks like were still in the race…

  428. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Whoa!!!! The band wagon is going to fill up pretty quickly now!!!!

  429. cmurda Says:

    Wow. I called out McDougald and he made 2 huge plays in this game for us. I need to call out everyone. It tends to work out this way. What a game by this defense. very proud.

  430. unbelievable Says:

    YEA BABY

  431. Matts17 Says:

    Great performance by the defense. Simply won this game inspite of the offense.

  432. MadMax Says:

    Now is the APPROPRIATE time to take a knee Baby!!

  433. mixxx31 Says:

    FU sherman ME13 owned you!!!

  434. BobbyBuc Says:

    YEAHHHHHH BUDDYYYYY!!!!

  435. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    We did it guys, we have arrived

  436. R.O. Says:

    I’m speechless.. one of the greatest defensive performances I’ve ever seen in 37 yrs of Bucs games.

  437. lurker Says:

    conte and mcgougald now playing ok. i think we still need a safety

  438. lurker Says:

    what the heck. who woulda thunk that 2 first quarter touchdowns would be enough? c-r-a-z-y

    but ill take it

  439. RustyRhino Says:

    The thing is – the win should have been much easier than it was.

    It’s a good sign when you can bean a good team and leave so many points on the field – at least 3 FG!

    And – that hands to the face call that wiped out the last TD was absolute garbage, as was the call at the end of the first half, where they claimed he was in bounds.
