bucs passing game is a total trainwreck. Galloway has totally sucked, leaving Garcia with very little. it's ugly. what happened to the galloway for the regular season? Maybe he figured that a 35 year old shouldn't have to play the postseason too.
I hope the Bucs win, but I have a hard time believing they can now. They can't pass the ball, they're down 10 points, and it's now the 4th quarter.
that last play should've been delay of game. I guess another case of the official having to look at the game clock and then look back. they should just have a buzzer that goes off. It expired before the snap that time.
It's ridiculous, that's the 3rd delay of game that should have been called against the giants while only 1 has been called and that one HURT TB. On a key 3rd down on their 1st drive and this past 3rd own the clock was at zero w/ no flag, the one they called they waited unil TB was about to sack eli from behind before they blew the whitle. I just wish once we'd get breaks the way the giants always do.
This 17-7 score through 3 quarters is not surprising. These teams always play low-scoring games. In 8 of the previous 16 meetings, the winner did not reach the 20-point mark. Only one time did each team score in the 20s. In 1985, the Giants won 22-20. In the last 7 meetings, the loser scored 14 or fewer points. The Giants have averaged 14.81 points per game in this rivalry. The Buccaneers have averaged 15.75 points.
I decided it was over after that last drive by Tampa. The passing game was totally inept. They weren't coming back unless the defense got a TD for them. And that was when it was still a 10 point game.
Gruden is going to take heat for letting his team take the last few weeks off. For me, that's the only enjoyable outcome here. The fewer of these moronic waste-of-time Bucs at 49ers Week 16 2007 type games, the better. Teams that don't play under pressure down the stretch usually don't succeed in the playoffs. 1996 Broncos, 2005 Colts come to mind, among many others.
Gotta kick the onsides here, hope the Bucs get it, score and then they can kick it deep and play some D. Then go down and get another score. Should be easy.
