Buccaneers @ Vikings Gameday Discussion Thread -- Week 8

That was exceptional discipline on that play.

[Demi]

(granted, that was mostly Gus)

Mostly? He went 6-2 as the starter. TJoke probably doesn't even make playoffs.

Just like if we had Sage and Ponder got hurt we might actually have a real shot at them. We cut our best QB so we didn't hurt Ponder's feelings.

Ponder showed some really good touch early in the season and was hitting some decent mid-range passes... don't know what the heck happened to him.

Yeah, as ineffective as he was at times, he still had some really nice 20-30 yard touch throws. But none for about a month now.

Proper reciting "Doesn't matter had sex" line after every bad pass, or int.

I really begin to wonder....I mean alot joked abour Romo...but then imo Romo always kinda sucked.

[Demi]

Our D-line isn't getting as much pressure as theirs is. That's part of it.

They're blitzing because we don't have a QB like freeman capable of making plays.

And our defense is getting tired trying to make up for all of Ponder's three and outs.

Week 7 and I finally get to watch the Vikes!

This is abysmal!

Yep.

They do need to start sustaining those 9-12-play drives and give the defense a break. This is a crucial possession.

Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?

I mean... we ARE 5-2... and with a loss tonight, 5-3. It's not like it's unfathomable. 5-3 puts us in good position through half our games.

[Juice]

A long sustained drive to give the D a rest would be nice. A quick score would be great too.

[Lash Man]

Two td's down now lets start playing football Vikings jeesh !

[soflavike]

Nice hole we're digging here... Frazier needs to do something to shake things up.

[indianation65]

It's a sad state to say, "Hey, we are lucky it's only 13!"

...wisdom

Not to mention that's probably about 2-3 games higher than anybody predicted at the start of the season. Curse the Vikings for giving us hope. We keep getting fooled. It makes the hurt that much more intense.
