Well underthrown bc Garcia got creamed,

but no defenders even on the screen when he caught it.

Nice run by Garcia. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way I gotta say that he’s one tough little SOB.

Yes sir.

Sad day for Bucs fans as we see a beautiful season being pissed away.

No, that's not possible, but it's not looking good

If Atlanta loses, Tampa controls its own destiny.

Falcons, Eagles, and Cowboys (OH MY!)

Atlanta can clinch a playoff berth with a win and a Tampa Bay loss.

Then we have to hope the Bucs can hang in there against the Raiders next week.

We also have to hope the Eagles lose today and beat the Cowboys next week.

by LinuxTX on Dec 21, 2008 3:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Wow, this is just unacceptable. From possible 2 seed to out. What a joke.

We lose double digits to the pathetic Raiders next week if this crap keeps up.
