We lost but Im still proud of this team.

Even though we lost; I am still proud of this team. They fought hard and didnt quit. The  Refs didnt help us out either.

That's the equivalent of my house burned down buuut, I was able to save my favorite lazy boy chair.

There are no moral victories except in this case.  With Rattay the Bucs should win two more but they still will get a 5-7 pick.  That's good enough to pick up JaMarcus Russell or Alan Branch.

I dunno, you seem to leave early, so possibly have more time to save more of your stuff?

the effort was there and the offense showed some life.  That being said, the penalties are inexcusable.  two 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalties? multiple false starts in OT?

Too funny!

That effort will help them next year. That is something they can build on. Yeah, it's a loss.
But they showed that they could stick with a contender on the road in cool weather.
And we keep our high draft position. Perfect.

It was a great game, well the 2nd half was.

I was glad to see the effort in the second half and OT. That was a fun 2nd half of football to watch, too bad this team couldn't play at that level in the 1st half. Stovall looks good from what little playing time he has had.

The best part of this game is Gruden CAN'T start Grads again!!

[rpc1978]

i wish gruden would have burned a timeout on the questionable catch so the game would be stopped and the officials would be forced to look at that play again on the scoreboard.  maybe then we could have got the booth to review it.  overall, we had our best chance with 1st down at midfiled with over a minute to go in regulation but we couldn't move the chains.  in overtime, we never could get out of the field position hole.   our best chance resulted in a Smith turnover.  Alex learned the hard way that sometimes its better to go down and protect the ball rather than fighting for extra yardage.  That's especially teh case when you've already gained enough yards for a 1st down.

good game bucs  brooks still sucks

[Tampa Bay Todd]

Proud of the effort also and just shows what very little is needed to get some inspiration. After Alstott's run, the confidence was like a tidal wave. Just need to start the game like that.
