The cowboys game is the most important game tampa will play in years.

You guys who hate Gruden sure love to talk about that Cowboys game. How about the Vikings game? That one was also low scoring and tough fought.

Gruden's playcalling was just not good in that Vikings game, 3rd and goal from like the 8 he calls a shovel, 4th and 1 against the Williams DT's and he runs little Dunn right up the middle for nothing. Clayton played good though.

reminds me of the slow clap guy in Not Another Teen Movie.

Wow.  That was hillarious.

The biggest difference was one QB got his team in the End Zone and the other didn't.  The QB that did won the game.

This doesn't have jack squat to do with Garcia.  Any QB who throws the ball over 40 times and can't get the ball in the End Zone will (and should) be the criticized party.

The Buccaneers had 6 drives in Dallas territory, only coming away with 3 FG's.  That's horrendous.

He wouldn't have even sniffed that area of the field if Barber didn't commit the game changing penalty.  If June wouldn't have commited a stupid one on the same drive.  And if PBuc had realized he was actually playing football on that play...

It is their fault.  I do not give Johnson credit for throwing an obvious fade route inside the five, because really, most of us cold throw that ball.

It was Barbers fault, it was PBucs fault.  They lost the game.  Period.  9 points was good enough that day.  Unfortunately, barber let the team down by ruining a sparkling defensive performance.  Against a turd QB.

9 points was good enough that day.

That's sad.

And, no, it actually wasn't.

He must have been confusing Man U with the Bucs. That's ok, Malcolm does it all the time now, too.

In 256 games last season in the NFL, not ONE game was won with scoring less than 10 points.  I guess the Bucs should have been that ONE at Dallas.

What's sad is that penalty...I have often wondered why he did that...

The Bucs won that game over the Vikings and the Vikings ended up being a playoff team last year....    Some people are never happy...

Not sure why you brought up that game to make Gruden look good then. The win was great but watching the offense in the red zone was frustrating.

I just randomly picked a close game that they won over a playoff team.    Sometimes it's good to be cautious and win the game rather than be aggressive and throw a pick 6 to lose it.
