[Andy Hicks]

Good luck if you have something riding on this game

 

[lod01]

Ivory ran right over Barrett Ruud. Ruud went low trying to tackle at the waist. Ivoy got low and ran him over.

 

[GoBirds]

So, wish I knew Meacham wasn't starting over Henderson before I put him in championship week. Oof.

 

[Topes]

TV crew just said how this would be Ronder Barber's last game as a Buccaneer.

Last time I looked, TB still had a way outside chance at the playoffs. Sure, not likely, but could happen.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-6) – Would clinch a playoff berth and the No. 6 seed with a win at the Saints and a Packers loss to the Bears and a Giants loss at the Redskins.

 

[Topes]

Graham goes off the field with a slight limp.

Two plays later, back on the field for a TD.

 

[lod01]

Graham another TD. He can't be stopped in the redzone.

 

[Faust]

Graham another TD. He can't be stopped in the redzone.

I wanted this guy to have a quiet week so that I could target him next year for a value pick in my auction leagues. Now the hype will be approaching Finley levels.

Jimmy Graham is the troof.

 

[elbowrm]

Graham sprained left ankle walking around on sidelines, return is q.

Eta he didnt sprain his ankle while walking around on sidelines, but on the catch prior to the td.

 

[lod01]

How does Julius Jones stays employed? POS.

 

[Gadabout]

Geeeez.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

That really should have been interference by the LB on Josh Johnson.

 

[elbowrm]

I dont know which idiot announcer this is (aikman?), but if i hear him say heighth one more time i am going to kill myself.

Nice td by briscoe.

Tampa sure hates to run Blount down there by the goal line.

He wasn't even on the field.

 

[Inspiration]

Tampa sure hates to run Blount down there by the goal line.

Blount didn't do himself any favors by dancing on a 2nd and 1 run that lost a yard earlier in the drive.

 

[Gadabout]

So much for that 14-3 lead...

 

[Gopher State]

Tampa sure hates to run Blount down there by the goal line.

Freeman is to good to not use by the goal line

 

[G-Money]

Any word on Jimmy Graham??

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

The good news for the Saints is that they won't give up a 96-yard drive here.

 

[Neal Cassady]

Ivory on sidelines with his shoe off..ankle maybe. Trainers looking at it.

That kind of running will only increase the odds that we see D. Williams in TB next year

Yeah, from 0.001% to 0.0011%.

 

[DansRams]

Rotoworld is saying Graham hurt knee, not ankle...What have you heard?

 

[Donnybrook]

Another gutless call by Steretore.

 

[GoBirds]

Meacham playing?

 

[BigA]

Whats going on with meachem? Why no love today?

 

[Team Smokin']

Ivory on sidelines with his shoe off..ankle maybe. Trainers looking at it.

Any further updates on Ivory? Geezzzzzzzz

 

[DansRams]

Never mind...Rotoworld fixed it to reflect ankle

The Saints started out looking very hot and have cooled off considerably. Not sure what is wrong, but they have to regroup because this Bucs team they are playing is not going to roll over. They need this win and they are starting to believe they can win this.

Someone from the Saints is going to have to step up. Graham and Ivory are going to need to get healthy, play through the pain or something. Saints are in a fight today. Not sure they were expecting this.

The way Sean Payton lets the injured recover, I'd be surprised to see Graham, Ivory, and Jenkins back in the game. Can't be worth injuring further when they'll have to play next week.

 

[jonboltz]

Love myself some Freeman

 

[Mr.Pack]

Just put an effing dress on them

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

Brees out, coaches decision.

 

[Statorama]

Daniels can't even execute a pitch back to the running back? Geez

 

[Gadabout]

That kinda reminded me of when a little kid hums a ball at your face from 2 feet away.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Josh Freeman is a champ.

 

[AB in DC]

So did Brees get the completions record? (for now, anyway)

 

[Statorama]

Can't believe the score is as close as it is with the limited offensive and defensive playbook the Saints are trotting out there.

Vanilla defensive packages without blitzes, with an offense of screen passes, skinny slants and draws are all they're throwing out there.

Indeed. The Saints tried to lose, and could barely get it done.

Congrats bucs fans and good luck this afternoon. I was hoping we'd rest the starters sooner but unfortunately they had to wait till the falcons game was well out of hand. Hopefully Jenkins, Graham an Ivory will be ok.

 

[Gadabout]

Highlight of the game was Chris Ivory putting some stank on Barrett Ruud. Other than that, I wish they woulda just skipped this week.

saints didn't execute as well as i would have liked but a lot of it had to with the coaches. saints didn't have much to play for with the atlanta game well under their control from the first quarter on.

 

[Gopher State]

Great job Buc's

Saints looked flat today, be interesting to see how the saints do going forward, as the saints have never won a road playoff game. Hard for dome teams to win on the road I guess

I guess they don't count the Super Bowl as a road game.
