it was boring until the late 3rd qtr. kinda like ours. lol. i almost fell asleep waiting for the jets game to come on. CONGRATS THOUGH! Gradkowski needs some work but I liked him at the combine and called him a sleeper. But I think my biggest point is probably that the Bengals arent playing good football this year. sure they still generate takeaways. but carson palmer isnt a shade as good as he was last yr and theres just something not coming together there. Cause you called it an upset. The Bucs have plenty of talent, their age is just showing on D. Big win though. what I noticed most in the game though was that Ahmad Brooks was making stops when nobody else could. I REALLY wish the Jets wouldve picked him up as an OLB for the 3-4.
Good for the Bucs. I was at Tampa airport for the end of the Saints game last week, I felt bad for the Bucs fans there. Don't ask me why, I'm a Jet fan and we were about to get smoked by the Jags, but I felt bad. At least Keyshawn won a ring with the Bucs, more than we can say.
More like the refs upset the bengals. That official should be fired on the spot. I don't think I've ever seen a worse call. But of course, the NFL will manage to get the media to ignore this while the oklahoma/oregon distaster still gets media attention. Instead of trying so hard (and sucessfully) to get the media to ignore officiating errors, maybe the NFL should worry about preventing officiating errors.
Maybe I need to see another angle, but that catch by Clayton didn't look good to me. It was reminiscent of the Butch Johnson TD catch in Super Bowl 12 where Johnson lost possession as he crossed the plane of the goal line. The Bucs also should never have beaten Washington last year. Mike Alstott did not cross the plane in the regular season game last year on the 2-point try. They also were the beneficiaries of a bogus call late in their win over Detroit in 2005. Looks like the league really likes the Bucs.
