Well Bucnut2, you are now 50% on your predictions. Pretty pitiful record for a soothsayer.

Unlike mark and dory who were wrong last week in predicting a win versus saints I say we lose this one. The fans will be upset and the 620 radio idiots will be calling for heads. I see this differently. I believe the bucs finish8-8 or better . This is a good team. For those who doubt me look at last week's post. I called for a loss to the saint and Vikings and said we would 2-5 by Friday

I'm sorry but it's ridiculous to try to claim that Penn holding Allen to only one sack when he was averaging 1.375 sacks a gameis some sort of accomplishment. When a runner is averaging 137.5 yards a game and only gets 100 yards, do you give him a bad game grade for not getting the 37.5 yards? No, you give them an "A" for getting a 100 yards, so Allen gets an "A" for his one sack.

Why on earth would we want to stop Peterson from running?????? I'd say reduce his yardage per play to 3.3 or less. The thing we want from the furthest is to force them to go to strictly to a throwing situation. We are horrible, horrible, horrible, in our passing defense because of the lack of defensive line threat to the quarterback. Does anyone honestly believe that we can stop even Cristian Ponder with our Defensive line? I don't. I'd much rather see a running game from Minnesota than trying to stop the passes. Let Pederson run 30 times for 150 yards; we stop the pass by hoping they don't have to throw too often. This is one of our 4 wins I thought we could get this season so I hope we get this win. We're running out of potential wins here folks.

Horse the quarterbacks who have killed us are named Bree's manning and griffin not ponder.

Horse do you still want to give it to ad 30 times?

I have a good feeling we're going to win this game tonight. It's a similar feeling that I had going into the Carolina game. It's the feeling that we're going to surprise some people. Go Bucs!

Scubog's Keys to Victory: Key # 1: "Run the Smurf on the Turf" Put the ball into the hands of the Muscle Hamster on that fast surface and watch him scoot. Key # 2: "Silence the Vike on the Bike Horn" That horn is almost as annoying as those never-ending soccer chants. Keep the Vikings good plays to a minimum so we in Bucland don't have to hear it. Key # 3: "Don't get in a Rut" Please stop attempting to fool the opponent with Rutgers plays that might have, as Scott Brantley would say, "hood-winked" the Big East foes. Schiano is reminding me of George Costanza when he says to the referee, "Was that wrong?" Key # 4: "Viagra" Josh Freeman has been outstanding the past two games and has "risen" to the occasion by going deep. Keep it up Josh! But if the game goes into OT and lasts longer than four hours, see the team doctor. Key # 5: "Slow the Mo" The surprising Vikings are having a much better start to their season than many anticipated. Right now they and their fans are feeling pretty confident they can defeat the former "pastel pirates from the south" on this national stage. Are they perhaps just a little too cocky? And the Bonus Key: "All Hands on Deck: There are only three DE's on the 53 man roster. Activate Bowers. He is surely a better option than the collection put up since Clayborn went down.

Oh Danang Scu, Key 4 sure was frisky and I think right on the money. I agree with Pink here that we should win this game. Our offense I think will maintain its high level of play, I think we've finally hit on a good offensive formula(a mix of going deep and pounding the rock to keep 'em guessing) that is being practiced on the field and not just in the words of the coaches. Our defense matches up well with this team, in my opinion. As long as the tackling is solid, I think we will limit the damage, and capitalize on mistakes by the Minny O. Bucs 27 Viqueens 20
