THE johnnybuc 115 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 This collapse by the Bucs is not surprising. If you watched the games last year, the 10-6 just FELT like a smoke and mirrors accomplishment. The Bucs didn't legitimately feel dangerous.In the NFL teams are separated usually by only a few plays per game, a questionable call here or there, injuries and of course talent (players and coaches). And it just didn't feel like Tampa had what it took to be elite but they could pretty much hang close with anyone. I predicted that they would collapse and MAYBE be an 8-8 team this year but 6-10 or worse wouldn't surprise me.Carolina actually winning a few games DID surprise me because they are just awful, they lost Beason EARLY in the season and Newton is a rookie QB. His play has been surprisingly stellar but they just need more in order to make an impact. For him to be doing what he is doing is phenomenal with great potential.If I had to rank NFC South QBs as to who would I want at the helm of my team it would be: Brees, Newton, Ryan, then Freeman. But Freeman has a huge upside in that he is a Roethlisberger type with his size and with coaching could be dangerous.I actually agree with pretty much everything you said here. Problem for me and most every other BUC fan and even most experts is they believed the pile of steaming **** Morris was serving up every week last season, the off season and the first 8 games of this season. But what's happened is he's been outed. He's like the Republican Senator that said the first time, "I wasn't even in the same city on that night, that picture looks nothing like me".I'll leave it at that. You can use your imagination, But THAT's our head coach! Link to post Share on other sites

fuq u 601 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 ....and the meltdown begins.Yeah, that sucks! Hopefuly ya'll will get a veteran Head Coach. There's a few looking to come back to work next season. Hope it all works out for you guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Negatorris Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 2010 - Raheem Morris: We are the best team in the NFC South.Got swept by the actual best team in the NFCS, then finished 3rd.2011 - Raheem Morris: We are the best team in the NFCS, and we're going to run the table and make the playoffs since we already beat NO and ATL.Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to post Share on other sites

Hope it all works out for you guys.It's not just the coaching, Most of these stiffs.............NO actually just about EVERY single one of 'em have proven to be a waste of space! I didn't think Freeman had oit in him to play this bad and be such a hopeless mess! When your Franchise quarterback decides he's not going to show up for games it's time to head back to the drawing board. The Glazers may just decide to clean house and fire Dominick also! They'd have very good reasons after what this pathetic bunch have put on film this season! Honest to GOD! thaes Losers are WORSE that the 1976/77 0-26 Buccaneers! Sad, just ******* sad that professionals being paid MILLIONS of dollars have so little heart! Link to post Share on other sites
Big Bubba 1,741 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Bucs are a p1ssed off team right now. Would not surprise me if they laid a beat down on either the Panthers or the Falcons, to close the year out. Ronde will get that defense pumped up for war. If for just pride. Pride, and not being punk'd by the Panthers twice, and letting the Falcons know, "we beat ur azzes once, we can definitely do it again". Link to post Share on other sites

I will give their defense credit for showing some guts against the boys on Saturday, but with Atlanta playing for a PO spot at home, I think the Falcons win by 2 TDs.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Bucs pulled off the miracle though and won. That's, if they actually show up and come to play. Hopefully it happens in week 17, rather than in week 16. If I was a Buc player, it would be more tantalizing to screw over the PO bound Falcons, than the struggling Panthers. Link to post Share on other sites
