Will any of these factors effect the outcome on Sunday?

[O.S. Buc76]

- Reggie Bush has now been ruled out this week.

- There is a good chance of thunderstorms for Sunday's game.

- They just ruled yesterday that Drew Brees mom's death was a suicide which was something that was being investigated for awhile now.

i know thomas and bell were contributing alot of the new orleans ground game, but bush had a big day against the rams. Bush will be missed in special teams play however.

Last year at home, rain pretty much screwed over the saints deep passing game. Freeman doesnt fling it as much, so we should be okay. the saints will have to adjust however.

I feel bad for drew brees. but who knows didnt farve have his biggest game when his dad died or something? either way you hate to hear about stories like this.

I'm assuming your football knowledge with your decision to mention Reggie Bush being out but failing to mention Sedrick Ellis is out. LOL

Hadn't seen that injury report yet but that should also help us somewhat tomorrow as well - hopefully.

I'm gonna pissed if we dont run the ball well tomorrow. There should be no reason on why we cant have a solid game on the ground. The saints are hurting on D.

Ummm watching NFL Net this morning they said both would play.... unless I heard wrong.

the bucs should be able to run and throw this game. im expecting them to put up 28+

shefter is tweeting bush and ellis did not make the trip.

They've got a lot more problems than we've got but as long as Brees is upright nothing should really change.

Run the ball all day long and we have a shot.

I've got a good feeling about this game.

I hope RJS is loud!!!!!

[O.S. Buc76]

I hope some of these things help us but I still have a feeling it's going to be a looooong day unfortuneatly.

   All I have read is that Reggie Bush has been a bust.. so if he doesnt play that wont effect a thing. Also  if I am reading this right, with the Rain and the Injured Saints this will be a Cake walk for the New CHOSEN ONE at QB for the Bucs.. I mean he is up for R.O.Y  and It is "HIS TEAM" already for the next 15 Years, and I believe we will be in the Super bowl in 4 Years!

Tomorrow is the start of all of this

Well, I just saw this on ESPN's site and figured I would come see what everyone else had to say.  I think the absence of Reggie may harm them some on special teams, but I believe their running game will  be able to hold their own quite well.  Especially since they are going up against our run D.  Is it still legal to call it that?

Ellis injury may help our ground game some, but I have seen our RB's be swallowed up at the line too many times this year to be too optimistic.  Let's hope that the Bucs come out determined and give the folks at RJS a reason to rock the place.  To borrow (and alter) a favorite phrase of Mr. Brees: THIS IS TAMPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uncle Stan]

Bush and Ellis are out.
