Make that "7 dash 3".

This D is fast...stuffing Gore like that is impressive. The Trio carried the O again.

I think we honestly can go 4-2 from here....11 wins would be stunning.

Pretty amazing.

Bucs did something today they haven't done in 30 years. I understand SF had a much better team for a good chunk of that time but still to walk into Candlestick against a team that is/was still in the division hunt and shut them out 21-0. I lost some money on the Bucs today but I'm happy for the fans.

Atlanta 8-2

New Orleans 7-3

Tampa Bay 7-3

Gonna be a strong finish to the season for these 3 teams. None of them can afford a loss.

NO- @Dal, @Cin, ST.L, @Bal, @Atl, TB...they have 3 very winnable games but the end of the season will be tough. 4 of 6 on road.

ATL- GB, @TB, @Car, @Sea, NO, CAR...The 2 Carolina games are automatic, the rest not so much. 4-2 down the stretch perhaps?

TB- @Bal, ATL, @Was, DET, SEA, @NO...Next week you gotta think bad things. They have 3 pretty solid wins there plus they get to play the division opponents 1more time so their destiny lies in their hands.

Just a guess but...

Atlanta 12-4

New Orleans 11-5

Tampa Bay 10-6

Bucs have a great season but might miss the playoffs with 10 wins.

Honestly, they could go 2-4 down the stretch and I wouldn't even be upset. The progress this team has shown this year, particularly from Freeman has been simply remarkable. They've gone from one of the worst teams in football to a franchise that could legitimately be talking Super Bowl in 2012 in one year. Fan-f'n-tastic.

How do you explain the DL play lately? Youth and no-names...not like Marinelli is there....how do they do it?

McCoy has been dominant in the past two games. You have a guy like that in the middle, it opens everything up for the other guys.It was staggering how good he was today.

Some team is going to be very very angry that they missed the playoffs because the Buccaneers had a schedule so soft you could sleep on it.

It'll probably be the Saints.

Freeman is having himself a pretty sweet year

Have not seen him play all year except for highlights, but from afar it seems like his decision making and ball security have been outstanding

Welcome to the NFL.

Decision-making and patience have been very good...his size and relative quickness allow him to move around the pocket by avoiding tackles 99% of QBs cannot avoid. And his arm is so strong that he can make a decent throw while sprinting to his left at the sideline.As we all know, the physical specs on QBs get over-blown...but Freeman is showing the league how to effectively use size at that position.

i'm not so sure. the saints have the a tougher final three games (@ ATL, @ BAL, TB) but it's mitigated with 3 easy game leading up (@ DAL, @ Cincy, STL). If the season comes down to week 17 against TB, my money would be on NO with home field and a 31-6 drubbing by NO in the books already. TB looks like the #3 team in the NFC South.

This is from a local sports guys twitter today,

HolderStephen Here's last word on Sabby: I am more convinced than ever that Todd Heap's TD was his undoing -- no matter what is said publicly. Trust me

The following is just a rumor so take it for what it's worth... I will however say that I heard this from the same source that told me about the Tanard Jackson suspension 6 months before the story broke to the media.

Sabby and Morris got into it in the locker room after the game, that was the last straw, Morris slapped him across the face and reportedly said, “what is your (racial slur towards Italians) gonna do about it boy”………Sabby just stood there and Raheem said, “like I thought you should have stuck to soccer”

Buccaneers | Aqib Talib to miss rest of season

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 12:52:37 -0800

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib (hip) will miss the rest of the season because of the hip injury he suffered in Week 13, reports Rich Stroud, of the St. Peterburg Times. He will not need surgery on the injury but he tore a tendon from the bone.

Ouch. Who's up for Tampa, and how much if a difference is it?

EJ Biggers. This really hurts seeing how much of the defense was designed around Aquib being a shut down corner.
