Falcster Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is NOT meant to be "smack". I'm just poiting out what an ESPN dude wrote! -_- "20 (15) Buccaneers 0-1-0 Showed no big-play capability and the defense is looking old.

Scott24Falcons Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I didn't get to see the Bucs/Saints game, but that sounds like what I expected. Tampa's team this year won't be terrible or anything like that, but what's going to happen when they lose Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber, and Joey Galloway to retirement? Taking away Brooks and Barber instantly pushes that defense back to somewhere around league average. And taking away Galloway makes one of the league's worst offenses even worse. In another year or two that franchise will be in serious trouble. Yes, they can draft some replacements for those guys, but who's going to play QB? Who's going to be a top WR for them? Who's going to lead that defense? Too many question marks for Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Their defense already is in decline. I wouldn't say they aren't still decent but they certainly aren't what they once were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
