  18. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Gain ten, lose 15.

  19. Mitch Says:

    3 penalties already ?

  20. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Freeman awfully close to throwing picks.

  21. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Blount really does look a lot smaller than last year. Faster too.

  22. Mitch Says:

    BLOUNTFORCETRAMA

  23. dway Says:

    we are driving and everyone is still trying to be so negative

  24. Mitch Says:

    Trauma* lol got too excited.

  25. Have A Nice Day Says:

  32. Mitch Says:

    I love the aggressiveness! Pound that rock!!

  33. Drew Says:

    Thomas 2.2… Blount Trauma!!!

  34. dan Says:

    a train over the top. nope. it was the B train!

  35. Bobby Says:

    Now that was impressive!

  36. dway Says:

    i know its preseason but its nice to see us score in the first half, even better to score on first drive..loving schiano for goin for that one

  37. Have A Nice Day Says:

    That was the most exciting drive I’ve seen the Bucs display since 2010.

  38. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    lol..another offsides

  39. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Ouch!

  40. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Nice pressure by Bennett there.

  41. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Great defensive stand.

  42. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    And Boom! Foster rocked him.

  43. dan Says:

    such a sick hit!!!!

  44. Drew Says:

    Any links to the game?

  45. Bobby Says:

    Loved the hit by Foster and Clayborn! Much better defensive stand.

  46. King Says:

    Nice hit by Clayborne!

  47. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Blount can catch.

    We’re not playing from behind to start the game.

    Stocker producing.

    Defense swarming to the ball.

    Mason Foster hitting like a freight train.

    GMC getting penetration.

    All very encouraging. The penalties will need addressing, but they always do.

  48. stimpy Says:

    That was a great drive. Blount looks smaller and faster. I like them using him in the pass game.

    Love how we went for it on 4th. Thats how you set the tempo.

  49. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Let me just say…I REALLY love my new HD tv!

  50. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Wow…that quarter went by fast…

  51. Drew Says:

    Oh where o where is T 2.2?

  52. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    I am sick and tired of political commercials already. Sigh.

  53. Drew Says:

    O where O were can he be?

  54. Fritz50 Says:

    This is my 1st season with an HD TV, well worth it.
    Also, anyone recall the last time we ended the 1st quarter with a lead( even if it is just 7)

  55. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    Cant remember we had a lead after the 1st quarter. Very encouraging so far.

  56. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Underwood!

  57. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    My first time seeing Underwood…nice grab.

  58. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Loved that throw. Dropped perfectly between the defenders.
    Martin looks so fast compared to Blount.

  59. Bucky23 Says:

    UnderWOOOOOD

  60. Fritz50 Says:

    Finally, a good run by the hamster !!

  61. Rrsrq Says:

    Doug Martin and LGB, gonna be a nice combo

  62. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Nice catch by Underwood and great run by Martin!

  63. Have A Nice Day Says:

    UNDERWOOD!!!

  64. Bobby Says:

    Are you friggin serious??!! Wow!

  65. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Oh my freaking god! Underwood!!!!

  66. stimpy Says:

    WOW!!!!!

    Nice play!!!

  67. Theodore Says:

    Underdog!

  68. Drew Says:

    Underwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Hell yeah deep pass!

  70. Fritz50 Says:

    And catch!

  71. aj Says:

    Excellent catch by Underwood, but that should have been picked off, if the safety was paying attention.

  72. Drew Says:

    Thomas 2.2… BUC Dangerous Offense and Defense!!!

  73. Fritz50 Says:

    Underwood did it all, this series. Methinks the kid wan’ta it, big time!

  74. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Freeman really looks different after losing the weight. Like a different person appearance-wise. I like his passing too. 4 of 5 and he’s keeping his feet under him. Pretty accurate as well.

    I give him an b grade considering the short time he played. They ran a lot (a good thing).

  75. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    He’s a converted CB, tried to play like he was still one.

  76. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    That was @aj

  77. Fritz50 Says:

    Wants

  78. Have A Nice Day Says:

    @aj Yup. If he would have played Underwood instead of the ball, there would have been a huge hit.

  79. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Parris Warren.

    I hope Underwood is not another. Martin TD!

  80. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Two drives, two scores. Very nice.

  81. Fritz50 Says:

    Bucs 14, Ditch Carp 0, who’da guessed it?

  82. Drew Says:

    Muscle Hamster and Blount Trauma. The Dynamic Duo and Underdog.

  83. Bobby Says:

    Smart football play by Martin!

  84. stimpy Says:

    …and TB leads 14-0

  85. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Panthers and Falcons might just be starting to sweat. Brees is probably not…yet.

    Would love to see us run up the score to like 35 points.

  86. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Dangit, have forgotten to watch Dotson. Anyone been seeing how he’s doing?

  87. 1976buc Says:

    Blount/Martin could be the deadly duo to the opponent.

  88. Have A Nice Day Says:

    @So Ill: Dotson is holding up well.

  89. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    offsides on the kickoff?….LMAO!

  90. NJBucsFan Says:

    Can someone email me a link that will play on a iphone? I appreciate it.

    m_cordes76@yahoo.com

  91. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    I see the replacement refs like calling penalties on us too. Still…I think they are better than the regulars…well, could be better with experience.

  92. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Is that the fourth offsides?

  93. Mitch Says:

    gah too many offsides penalties

  94. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    #5 offsides

  95. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    these offsides are killing us. no excuse for all this, good thing its just the first preseason game

  96. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Tip Drill!

  97. Rrsrq Says:

    These guys look youngry…

  98. flmike Says:

    Dolphins lost their video feed…..just heard about the int,didn’t see it . Way to many penalties

  99. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    I’m liking what I’m seeing here!

  100. Have A Nice Day Says:

    BTW 8 pass attempts to 14 rush attempts…..

  101. Mitch Says:

    OHHRAHH David with the pick. Awesome.

  102. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    @Rsrq lol

  103. dway Says:

    I like the new #54, lookin good so far

  104. aj Says:

    Okoye did a good job of putting his hands up.

  105. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Make that 15 rush attempts lol

  106. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Nice blitz pick up by Madu.

  107. Bobby Says:

    Looking good so far. Both sides of the ball.

  108. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    Not too shabby.

  109. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Underwood is making some really big plays.

  110. stimpy Says:

    All our RB’s have cought passes.

  111. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    That Underwood kid can BALL!

  112. Have A Nice Day Says:

    David is impressive!

  113. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Madu looked a little too hesitant out there.

  114. dway Says:

    Sucks for Madu, he didnt get to run behind that beast of a line.

  115. Bobby Says:

    LaVonte David!! I like this kid a LOT!!

  116. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Another good play by David.

  117. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    check out the new Bucs promo. NICE!!!

  118. stimpy Says:

    I like the comercial…

    🙂

  119. FLBoyInDallas Says:

    Madu touched the ball almost every play that drive. Obviously they want to get a good look at him. I was not impressed and have to think he’s on the outside looking in if Smith can do something with his chances.

  120. SkookumSmitty Says:

    David is looking fair studly.

  121. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Is it safe to assume Parker has finally lost the return job?

  122. FLBoyInDallas Says:

    Lavonte David is the real deal and he’s single handedly making the LB corps look good.

  123. Bobby Says:

    Same old Parker. That pissed Schiano off big time!

  124. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    UH OH PRESTO!!

  125. dway Says:

    Greg Schiano pissed! Hates turnovers, I love it, rah woulda been like its ok guys…

  126. Rrsrq Says:

    Hope all these mistakes are just nerves, trying to press (Preston) too much.

  127. dan Says:

    and presto change-o the dolphins have the ball

  128. FLBoyInDallas Says:

    Dammit…that turnover ruins an almost perfect first half.

  129. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Like I’ve been saying all off season…everyone was down on Blount for his fumbles, but Parker was much, much worse. Hope Schiano doesn’t cut him for it.

  130. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Traditionally after a foul up like that, the Bucs opponent would score. Let’s see if the backups have learned anything.

  131. eDDyk0k0 Says:

    I wish i could watch the game :/

  132. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Mlew needs to show something out there, guy looks sloppy.

  133. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Nope. No change there.

    Ah well, backups are backups.

    I wanna see Smith on a kick return. Curious on how he does.

  134. Have A Nice Day Says:

    @So. Ill. – He just showed #18 the endzone.

  135. stimpy Says:

    googl is your freind…

  136. Rrsrq Says:

    I guess Preston Parkers nite is over

  137. aj Says:

    Parker’s fumble problems are only on returns. He is fine at receiver. But who becomes the returner, if Stroughter does not make the team?

  138. stimpy Says:

    Not a touchdown…

  139. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Rrsrq, hope not. We won’t know if it was a fluke if he’s benched.

  140. Have A Nice Day Says:

    That looked like it hit the ground!

  141. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Incomplete! They’ll score now but….vcoolol

  142. Rrsrq Says:

    Good job replacement refs

  143. Bobby Says:

    Pretty good coverage by Lewis.

  144. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    HOLY CRAP . A BREAK

  145. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Nice tackle by Gaitor

  146. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Old refs would not have made the right call there.

  147. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    SHUTOUT HALF.

  148. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    Wow. Just. Wow.

  149. FLBoyInDallas Says:

    Excellent play by Gaitor!

  150. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Gaitor Rocks!

  151. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    I love the way Schiano talks. Keep on them, coach.

  152. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    And so does Schiano.

  153. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    Good goal line stop by the D! And a good first half.

  154. So. Ill. Bucs Says:

    Well, that’s it, I gotta head to work.

    Go Bucs!

  155. aj Says:

    Freeman and Orlovsky combined 11/12 for 130 yards. Underwood impressed a lot, as well as David.

  156. Bobby Says:

    So far so much better than last year. No slow starts today.

  157. Ish70 Says:

    Can’t watch in Oklahoma… how’s Sullivan’s play calling look?

    Opinions appreciated. 🙂

  158. thomas two point two Says:

    Don’t get too excited yet ladies. It’s preseason game #1.

    We dominated KC in preseason last year also – didn’t mean squat.

  159. FLBoyInDallas Says:

    ^I knew the a**hole would show up sooner or later.

  160. BucNeckid Says:

    Good thing that the Dolphins are participating in the new Black Out Policy.
    There might be only 20,000 attending
    I know it is raining
    but geesh that’s weak

  161. Joe Says:

    ish:

    Can’t watch in Oklahoma… how’s Sullivan’s play calling look?

    The score speaks for itself.

  162. thomas two point two Says:

    Nice to know you were thinking about me

  163. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Michael Smith is so fast!

  164. BucNeckid Says:

    Run Michael Run

  165. BucNeckid Says:

    Looks like ZERO first teamers out there now

  166. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    Very predictable opening 2nd half drive

  167. aj Says:

    BucNeckid, and the Dolphins say they have 41,000 season ticket holders, which would mean about half of them actually showed up for the game.

    But the people in Miami care more about the Dominican national team than they do the Dolphins, just the demographics of that market. A good chunk of Dol-fans come from Palm Beach, and they might have just thought it was too much of a drive for a preseason game in the rain.

  168. lurker Says:

    thomas, you don’t need to troll this thread.

    people are trying to enjoy their team. if yo and your negative existence ways cannot, please leave.

    thanks

  169. BucNeckid Says:

    Doesn’t help that their stadium is basically in the Dominican

  170. BucNeckid Says:

    Robbie / Sun Life Stadium is the Tropicana Field of the NFL

  171. Greg Says:

    Preston Parker as a kickoff or punt return guy–UNBELIEVABLE!!!

  172. BucNeckid Says:

    Cody Grimm
    Whifffff

  173. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Wallace is getting some good pressure from the outside.

  174. BucNeckid Says:

    Cody Grimm
    Your next Arizona Cardinal back up safety

  175. Bobby Says:

    Tannehill (sp?) looks very good.

  176. BucNeckid Says:

    Hurry up offense = advantage Offense
    Always when the defense is playing their third string, new to the NFL Rookies

  177. Bobby Says:

    Actually it did mean squat Thomas. We started last year 4-2.

  178. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    I just seen a DT of ours drop back into coverage on that TD throw…. Not sure if Ive ever seen that before.

  179. Have A Nice Day Says:

    Smith is really fast but I am more impressed with the guy that caught him from behind!!!!

  180. Oahubuc Says:

    Orlovsky seems serviceable.

  181. BROCKTACULAR Says:

    SMITH!!!!!!!!

  182. Have A Nice Day Says:

    ANyone else impressed with Tannehill running a no huddle offense in his first NFL live action?

  183. RustyRhino Says:

    How has our D looked? I’ve heard David looks good, doing what?
    Rain, here in NE Ga too.
    Sounds like We have been successful on Offense.
    Wish I was.watching.

  184. Have A Nice Day Says:

    That was a horrible attempt by Curtis. He should have had that one.

  185. Oahubuc Says:

    Hopefully we just saw our new return guy. No reason to have Parker clogging a roster spot for his alleged returning abilities.

  186. Have A Nice Day Says:

    @RustyThino David was around the ball and hassling ball carriers all day. Played well in coverage too.

    Offense was pretty dominant.

  187. lurker Says:

    well let’s hope our 3rd and 4th stringers dont have to play in a real game…lol

  188. lurker Says:

    i was thinking sgt stroughter should go

  189. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    I think we are seeing in this 2nd half that are D-Line depth is not very good at all. Which we already knew.

  190. BucNeckid Says:

    Tannehill Looks as good as Orlovsky
    Rookie vs. seven year QB

  191. BucNeckid Says:

    Explosive Offense?
    Tampa Bucs
    Explosive Offense?
    Hmmmm

  192. BucNeckid Says:

    Above quote per Carl Nicks

  193. BucNeckid Says:

    GAng tackle sighting

  194. Oahubuc Says:

    Not liking the Price trade right now.

  195. DallasBuc Says:

    Not sure what scares me more…oline depth or db depth.

  196. BucNeckid Says:

    Why?
    was price third string DT?
    No worries Brau

  197. BucNeckid Says:

    New TB Coaches need Name Tags
    Can’t tell who is who yet.
    Schiano and Sullivan only recognizable faces

  198. DallasBuc Says:

    The dolphin broadcast announcers are horrible…why can’t I hear lynch and Myers?

  199. BucNeckid Says:

    Have a feeling that Michael Smith is going to get one of those Phantom Preseason injuries.
    Practice Squad Bound… Cough, cough

  200. hurricane Says:

    did anybody else see michael smith just throw up?

  201. BucNeckid Says:

    Miami is Home Team = Home broadcasters heard in markets other than visiting team.
    Maybe?

  202. Rich Says:

    @Ish70 – The play calling is looking nice. It’s definitely not so vanilla anymore. I can see a lot of routes being run to open up the QBs first look. I know Joe (as did I) hated the Benn’d around, but I also hated that frickkng middle screen on every 3rd down. You’ll be pleased this year!

  203. BucNeckid Says:

    ed gant
    preseason stud

  204. BucNeckid Says:

    Bucs have completed passes to 15 different players

  205. DallasBuc Says:

    Watching game online from nfl.com feed. For most of second quarter it was lynch/meyers. Don’t get it

  206. Ish70 Says:

    @Joe @Rich

    Thanks! Can’t wait to see tomorrow morning!

  207. BucNeckid Says:

    Hmmm
    weird

  208. DallasBuc Says:

    Did we get any sacks tonight? I don’t recall seeing any qb pressure at all

  209. BucNeckid Says:

    just flipped back from Olympics
    notice that the Track Runners wear less clothes than the Swimmers this year

  210. BucNeckid Says:

    per cbs sportsline
    No Sacks

  211. BucNeckid Says:

    Dolphins had no sacks too

  212. aj Says:

    DallasBuc, I think the Dolphins satellite feed went down for a bit, so they had to switch over to the Bucs feed.

  213. Andrew Says:

    @ish70 this is definatly an old school, pound the rock offense which is great to see with some shots downfield sprinkled here and there. if you think NY giants offense your spot on.

    Now the defense looked vinella in terms of playcalling, but its definatly an on your toes, get down hill and hit somebody style of D. the secondary looked shoddy but thats to be expected. the rest of the D played Disciplined with LAVONTE DAVID REALLY STANDING OUT. i mean that guy was all over the field making tackles behind the line of scrimmage and even got a pick from a tipped pass. I hope he can keep up the good work.

    overall solid performance.

  214. ben Says:

    we had good pressure when when the starters and rotational players in

  215. BucNeckid Says:

    Most of David’s Stand out play was against second and third team.
    Still…
    David looked really good

  216. DallasBuc Says:

    Thanks aj, that makes more sense. I cannot see how sfla fan puts up with these morons.

  217. SilenceTheCritics Says:

    Another goal line stand. The D has been impressive except for the penalties and no pressure by the back up D-line.

  218. BucNeckid Says:

    Game Over
    Losing streak over*

    Wooohoooo!

  219. BucNeckid Says:

    Looks like this year will at least be competitive and each game won’t be over after 14-0 first quarters each game
    Go Bucs!

  220. lurker Says:

    bucs win! bucs win! bucs win?!

    lol

  221. Bobby Says:

    I liked what I saw. We dominated the line of scrimmage on offense. We will be able to run the ball which means we will be able to pass the ball too. Defensively we looked OK. I’d like to see a little more pressure but when the first team was in they didn’t have much time at all. As far as receivers…did ANYBODY drop a ball??? Man, seemed like all the TE’s were catching the rock, the WR’s, the RB’s…it was a good night for receivers. By the time the Patriots get here it will be a better test of who we are.

  222. foxworth Says:

    great start …good 60 min effort , you guys that jumped early with your negative crap talk youve been saving all off season hows your foot taste,get out the past welcome to the new order!!!!
    go bucs….go bucs….go bucs, joe your coverage in the off season was awesome thankx for keeping us informed best site ever go bucs

  223. The Dutcher Journal (Pete Dutcher) Says:

    BucNeckid Says: August 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm

    Have a feeling that Michael Smith is going to get one of those Phantom Preseason injuries. Practice Squad Bound… Cough, cough

    .

    He would not clear waivers. Two teams already tried trading for him.
