Top 10 plays in Buccaneers history

Dewayne White's blocked FG in OT is #1 for me.

Actually, Java, your posts are ignored. The only one i've seen as of late is the sig pic that Sarasota Buc Fan asked me to look at.

Uh huh.   

Too bad you missed the Bucs top 10 plays...  oh wait...

Dewayne White's blocked FG in OT is #1 for me.

You're absolutely entitled to your opinion, but that's number one?  Over Ronde shutting down the Vet?  Over Brooks' Super Bowl dagger?  Over Joe's ridiculous Monday Night receptions?

The blocked field goal was AMAZING (that whole game was one for the ages), but it's missing some, uh, thematic undertones compared to some of the other ones.

That blocked kick was so amazing that I'd forgotten about it...

Absolutely no question about #1. I always think of the game against the eagles as our true Super Bowl, because they had beaten us several times in a row. They had our number. Winning that game just felt so huge, and the fact that the Raiders ran Gruden's EXACT offense against us and got massacred didn't help matters.


Also, for my personal top 10 I think I'd include Freeman's TD throw to Stroughter in 2009. Obviously he had plenty of late game heroics last year too, but for me that game took me from desperately trying to maintain hope to "holy crap, this Freeman kid is it." It's very rare that just one game is all you need to know you've got a special player. I think I'd also have to include Gruden's ballsy 2 point conversion against the Redskins. Yeah, we didn't end up doing anything that year, but at the time there were definitely pretty big playoff implications and it was a potential season changing call.

We were up 10 when Ronde got the TD. Up 13 when Brooks got his. And let's be honest, McNabb and Gannon threw it right to them. Those plays sealed the best wins, doesn't make them the best plays.

When you combine game situation, how important the game was and how hard it was do... I think White's is #1.

using your own criteria, Ronde's is def #1.

They made the playoffs that year.   I'd call making the playoffs doing something.

Gruden lived off a weak schedule that year too.

There's a difference between having a weak schedule and MAKING the playoffs and having a weak schedule and NOT MAKING the playoffs.

Well yeah, but it was yet another first round exit. So in the long run it isn't really something you remember.

[JDog]

I remember division championships.   They are something to be proud of.

Except our division back in the Gruden era was comparable to swiss cheese. Rah has it much tougher with 2 legit playoff caliber teams in the division.

[JDog]

The division wasn't any worse back then, Gruden just put butt whippings on them which made their records worse.  Otherwise they'd have looked much better.

That was actually funny and this thread actually benefited the board.  Careful Java, people might start liking you and ruin that whole cantankerous prune thing you got going on!   Good stuff.  That video made me smile after a long, crappy day.  Joe's catch was such an emotional amazing moment for him, the team and the fans.  When I think about the Eagles fans chanting about his baby and him shutting their mouths....what a moment.
