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.

Not me, the game felt secure once they were up by 2TDs in the 4th quarter, even after Tampa scored the TD...the way the Ravens D was playing, and I was confident the offense would be able to keep the ball at the end and run the clock out

I dont care what the zebra says about Talib, the kid can play. Not an easy task trying to shut Mason down
[/quote]
Not only that, but lesser players would've pulled an Andre Johnson and swung at Mason, the roles obviously being reversed on offense and defense. For being such a young guy, Talib kept his cool as best he could. He probably could've done without jawing at the officials during the questionable P.I. call and could've kept his composure better after getting beat on a couple of plays, but he kept at it and batted some passes down while also making off with a nice pick. He never completely folded and his effort showed in how he was able to largely keep a lid on Mason in the second half.

On a side note, do any Buccs fans know how Tanard Jackson is coming along?
[/quote]
Jackson has been excellent when he is on the field. He is probably our best defensive player. He is just a complete ballhawk and is all over the field making plays. He's just got to lay off the dope and he'll be fine.

I'm happy to get the win! lets hope the injuries aren't bad, and i really hope Cam and Joe can figure out how to get the ball spread around, drives moving quickly more often and points being scored FAST or we could end up in trouble b4 we know it! we need to keep the pressure on for 60 min (ie) NEW ENGLAND drive the score up put em in the dirt, break their will to continue fighting. we have the weapons and the quarterback to put the ball anywhere on the field. spread that D thin and pick em apart, and let joe check to run ray will still eat em up. i know joe's not at paytons caliber yet but just imagine what payton could do w/ these wideouts n that freedom or what joe could do w/ that freedom. were making strides this week is huge we need points and d in a big way and i hope this was the last week of a lack luster 3rd qtr. !!!!!! DOMINATION !!!!!! LETS PUT THAT COMPLETE GAME TOGETHER THIS WEEK, this is why we got Q , T.J., and Donte Lets show people why they better worry about the Ravens PRIME TIME MEN LETS DO THIS.

Yeah, I'm a quiet fan of Jackson's. It's too bad drugs have derailed his because he's a Pro Bowl-caliber player.

Congrats on the win.

Our D wasn't perfect but if you saw how they played earlier in the year against Pitt and NO, you would see how far they have come. Losing Grimm is going hurt. Sabby is horrible.

Tanard Jackson will be welcomed back to the team, I think. But it will be a one year, low paying deal.

Freeman is usually good when he throws on the run or when he's out of the pocket. But not today. That QB sneak where he was stopped and then pushed ahead to get the
first was impressive.

Yes, hurry up should have been done early in the 2nd half. I put that on Olson or Morris for not telling Olson to do that.

Ravens D was just too good and confused the hell out of Freeman.

Good luck the rest of the year.


Our game of the year is next week at home vs. Atlanta.

[bmorefan444]

Freeman is physical and he has a powerful arm, but I wasn't impressed with his accuracy. I know he was being chased a lot, but does he normally miss so many throws?

[ravensdfan]

Good game. Closer than it should have been but you've got a good team in the Bucs, just a player here and there and it's all good.

Freeman seems to get a little flustered if things aren't going too well but I'm sure that will settle. Good luck with the rest of your season!

[Moderator 2]

Good game--I was impressed how big and mobile your QB is. We took my husband cousin who has been a Bucs fan since 1976 even though he lives in Steeler territory and he has a blast.

You've got to beat them!
We've got a similar game against the Steelers, and so do the Pats and Jets, next week will show who goes where...
I hope the Bucs can take down the Falcons, but ATL is playing at a high level.

[Thepurplehaze]

Thanks Bucsfan..ugly win..ugly game.
BTW is your name Travis?

[UMDan]

Thanks Bucs fans! Such mature, intelligent opposition... nice to see every once in a while. You guys are very young but have a very bright future IMO. Whether or not you guys grab a WC spot this post-season, I think you guys will be a contender in years to come,and I'm a little grateful that we won't play you guys until 2014. (But it'd be great if it was sooner... since that would mean a Baltimore/TB superbowl.)

Your defense played pretty well and exploited our offense without Oher and Mcclain. Freeman could be really great, his early passes were not great but he warmed up towards the end of the game.

[quote name='Xandtar' timestamp='1290990722' post='553317']
I hope you crush the Steelers next week and take the AFC title, a rematch against the Falcons in Dallas might be very interesting.
[/quote]

Thanks! We hope to kill the Steelers and have a rematch with Atlanta as well.

[/quote]

I had great confidence in the Raven's offense at the end, where I also had great confidence in the Buc's ability to move the ball at the end.

That's why I would have gone for the onside kick, if you don't get it they're not in field goal range and its on your D, if you do Free has one more shot with a couple of minutes or so to tie it up, and he can be VERY scary in that situation.

Bad call by the special teams coach, to kick it deep.

[Gtown Purple]

Like AWD said, the Bucs waited to long to go into no huddle and when they did they took to long. They got the ball around 930 in the 4th quarter and didn't score until 330 or so. That's not enough time left when you have to put up 2 scores and elect to kick it deep.

[CorvusCorax]

Congrats on your team as well. I know that even despite the loss, your team put up a great showing against a good team. Tampa is still in the playoff hunt so I wish your team well.

Yea, his accuracy was awful yesterday. It was frustrating because he usually is very good with throwing balls on the money. Even under pressure, he's been fine getting the ball to our receivers this year. I don't know what happened yesterday. May have been the cold weather.
