Congrats Ravens Fans

[BucsFan5]

Congrats on the win guys. Your D played great and made Freeman and the rest of our offense look like crap. Good game and good luck with the rest of your season.

[Joe5Flacco]

Thanks man, game was closer then it should have been but great game...and your a good sport in defeat I like that.

[RivenHale]

You're a good sport, man. And I'll tell you honest: I had a heart attack for the entire fourth quarter. I wasn't secure in our win until 0:01.

[Ed_Reed20]

You too man. Freeman is a gamer, McCoy is really coming on and the Bucs have the foundation for a strong team for many years to come.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Great to have good discussion with proper, noble fans. Good game, good luck with the season.

[Xandtar]

Congratulations on the win.

Yours was the better team, which we all knew in advance, and deserved to win.

Our team had injuries in two critical yet thin positions with basically no backup, and your team took full advantage, moving past the second team guard like he was still in college and the third team safety like he was... well I'd better not say I might violate board rules if I say what I think of him.

Still, I hope you saw a taste of what we've seen in Freeman all year, if he could play all four quarters like he plays in the fourth, we would be two wins better than we are now.

But it is what it is, well done Ravens.

I hope you crush the Steelers next week and take the AFC title, a rematch against the Falcons in Dallas might be very interesting.

I was hoping our D was going to stop you guys at the end of the game and give Freeman one last chance with the ball. Would have been fun to see. The D played well for most of the game though and kept us in it so I can't be too angry at them.

Bucs gotta bright future, Freeman is the truth.

Agreed. He was Roethlisberger-like the way he escaped sacks and even pushing the pile.

Ugh, I can't stand Sabby. He is so awful. I wish we would just cut him already. Can't believe we wasted a 2nd rounder on him a few years ago.

Dont forget the Refs helped too with the flag on Boldin for t.d. from Ray Ray.

but yea that was a nail bitter in the end.

Been saying all year, refs need to start getting fined for making bad call, especailly game changing calls

[RavensAllTheWay]

The Bucs have a really good future in front of them. I mean they should be making the playoffs for years to come.

[1/28/01]

Freeman is nasty......guy has a bright future.

Good win Ravens!

Well they still have a chance this yr with a WILD CARD spot. they just need a few tweaks here and there, just like the RAVENS.

Good Luck

[RavensAllTheWay]

THIS is the defense that I'm talking about. We've played really really good since the Falcons game, so hopefully were on to something.

Although we forced no turnovers, we were great on third down and the pass rush was outstanding. We flushed Freeman out of the pocket and made him uncomfortable all night long, as it also affected some of his throws to open receivers.

Our CBs were not good today imo, but there's no doubt that playing good up front will limit that problem.

Yes, that was an awful call, but so was the pass inteference call on Lewis towards the end of the 1st half. If they made the correct call and called nothing, it would have been 4th down and you wouldn't have gotten that TD. So, those 2 ****ty calls can cross each other out.

Refs were awful today like they have been all season, but at least it went both ways.

[theFRANCHISE]

Get rid of Kellen Winslow and I can more comfortably root for the Bucs from this point on.

That second half was why I, along with a few other Ravens fans, were singing the praises of Josh Freeman all week. Although he had a poor showing to start the game, he was much-improved when he settled down and showed better pocket presence. The Bucs defense still has work to do before replicating the success of their Super Bowl squad, but they did well in bringing pressure and taking full advantage of a rag-tag line, which Baltimore hasn't done consistently this year.

How about that interception by Talib? my mouth dropped when i saw the replay

Same. It was a spectacular play. Oddly enough, it's not the most amazing thing I've seen him do though.

I just read about that on Rotoworld. Here's the story:

I must say, you Bucs fans are very conciliatory: thanks! You should give Cortland Finnegan some lessons!

[BucsFan5]

[quote]Bucs CB Aqib Talib reportedly had a heated confrontation with an official in Sunday's game, and threatened him with violence.
The official on Carl Cheffers' crew reportedly told Talib that he "played like a p-ssy." Talib responded by telling the ref, "I'll (hit) you in your b---- a-- mouth." Talib did not speak with reporters after the game. The official and Talib both can probably expect some discipline from the NFL. Nov. 28 - 8:28 pm et

Wow, may be one of the worst officiating crews ever.

[theFRANCHISE]

If the allegations are true as to what the official said to Talib, props to Talib for relatively keeping his cool after such an inflammatory comment. I mean, Talib didn't necessarily need to fire back, but at least he didn't take a swing. The official better hope that Talib or any of his teammates nearby weren't wired for sound for NFL Films this week...

Heh, an inadvertent NFL sting. That would be amusing...

Tampa Bay waited too long before kicking into the no huddle. For everything Freeman does well, he struggle immensely when he was pushed outside of the pocket and unable to scramble (frequently overthrowing receivers). I can't place all the blame on him, the Tampa Bay offensive line was incredibly porous tonight, and you [i]have[/i] to give props to Freeman for evading all of those defenders, otherwise the Ravens could have had double digit sacks.

Also, I've said it in the GT, that I had no issue letting Spurlock get a little wiggle room. The man excels at returning, but he's not reliable as a receiver. Had it been Williams, or even Benn, on those deep routes that Spurlock broke open, then this game would have gone differently.

Regardless, the Bucs will benefit greatly from how talented their [i]young[/i] players are. Freeman seems to be their franchise quarterback, Williams is doing great things already, Talib is already a fantastic corner, and McCoy is playing great and has been showing people why he was a top pick. If Price really works hard over the offseason and lives up to his potential, the Bucs have the foundation of a very, very strong defensive line that will last them well into the future. That actually fits the entire team, they have the foundation of a team that will be successful for quite a while.

[RLewis52]

It was a nice win, the Bucs are looking good this year

[flynismo]

Thanks Buc fans, was a pleasure having you here.

[Clutch Ravens]

With guys like Freeman, Williams, Blount, Benn, McCoy and Talib all playing as well as they are at a young age you have one heckuva bright future.

On a side note, do any Buccs fans know how Tanard Jackson is coming along?

[flynismo]

I dont care what the zebra says about Talib, the kid can play. Not an easy task trying to shut Mason down
