find a way to continue
If you look at the whoe picture you know then that the factors outlined abouve are going to play a huge roll in a team lacking consistency especally when the depth is missing. The whole piocture shows several good young players on this team now with a mixture of vets and guys entering their prime that should lead us into a break in that trend of up and down. You say you don't care what Gruden did before he was here, well when he wasn't handcuffed with teh above mentioned factors his former team was pretty consistent adn I expect the same here now that we've started truning the conrner.
We had young players that had potential before too that are now basically special teams players. Gruden will find a way to...
... continue winning divisions and more Lombardi Trophies. You're absolutely correct bornatroll.
There was no where near the quality depth on this team 2 or 3 years ago that exists today. Not even close and we'll have a full compliment of draft picks again next year and $$ to spend in FA without having to fill a team full of holes. You're wrong. Admit it. Maybe the Bucs will let Richie have his old job back when he gets fired this off season ... as ball boy.
