The Bucs are still in great position although 2 of the 3 remaining NFC South games are on the road. The other 3 are winnable against lesser teams...that is if the Bucs don't play down to the level of the competition.

I'm tired of trying to predict how this thing is going to shake out..I'm still leaning towards the Panthers winning the division..I know...boo me again...But seriously...They've been playing terrible and still winning and they have an outstanding run game that appears to be getting better..

I like their schedule and all the pressure to me, is on us due to the rash of injuries we keep having and the fact we are still one game down at this point....We'll see...

I'm all for us making the playoffs, but in reality I realize we are not even close to making that happen as of yet..

Lets worry about Detroit this Sunday, and then New orleans, and then........ WIN 1 game at a time, and the rest will fall into place!!!


DON'T TAKE DETROIT LIGHTLY!!!!!

Carolina does have a running game but so did Minn. We took care of that run and I think our D can take caro of Carolina's also. What we need to do is get in the endzone when we get close. We've got to do a better job of keeping our opponent off guard with play calling.
