Man Tampa Bay really fell off the map didn't they?

  • I thought they were going to one of the big surprises in the NFL this year about six weeks ago. I haven't seen any of their games in a while but, by looking at the scoreboard, they seem to be going downhill and fast.

  • Josh Freeman sucks, and Doug Martin was just playing out of his mind.

  • At least they have the Lightning... Oh wait...

    Well, Spring Training is only two months away shrug

  • Yeah, that's my bad. It just "happened" to coincide with my picking Josh Freeman up in fantasy football.

  • yeah weve only got 1 OL that started the season left. the rest are all complete bums. the OL overachieved for the first 8 games and plummeted back to reality the last 4 weeks. freeman is getting no time in the pocket and they aren't opening any holes for doug martin either. the defense sucks horribly and the guys we have playing DB are a bunch of nobodies. I literaly don't know where most of these guys came from. the team has now started to completely self destruct. freeman is getting a lot of blame but 3 of his INTs were really his fault. one was a deflection that shot straight up. the pick 6 came from his wide receiver falling on his ass in front of the db, the same wide receiver let another db cut him off for an int a couple series later. I think at this point freeman's confidence is shot and the other players are mailing it in

    weve got to address our awful pass defense and DL in the draft and find a RT that doesn't get beat like a drum. its no coincidence that when freeman was playing well he wasn't getting hit on ever single time he dropped back

  • Who is their coach again?

    Yeah, exactly.

  • schiano has actually done a pretty good job in my opinion. he inheirited a team with zero talent and a loser attitude and got them to start playing hard. with all the injuries and replacements we have its nothing short of a miracle we won as many games as we did. if wed have mustered some semblance of a pass defense wed have won at least 3 more games. we are sitting about where I figured and weve at least been competing in every game we played except for the saints game last week.

  • Losing 4 starting oline for the year hurt, 2 are all pro guards. Also have the #1 rush defense with the #32 pass defense. Every qb just passes all over us. Sucks playing brees and Matt Ryan twice a year when our pass d is sooooo bad

  • Freeman is bum and won't lead us to anything significant. No excuse for his play the last half of the season.

    I'd love to luck into a QB like Indy did. I hate that franchise. Have Manning for 10 years and win a Super Bowl. Then he leaves and for ONE season they suck and get a #1 pick to be able to draft a future HOF QB. Complete crap.

    Tampa hasn't had a good QB since Steve Young. Always relied on defense and the running game but our OL is depleted and our secondary outside of Barron sucks. When he has his rookie moments, there's nothing back there to make a play. Barber needs to retire, he's a step slow now.

  • barron hasn't been very good either. I thought it was a reach but a good pick but has been a letdown for me. hes been good in run support but awful in coverage. im hoping its the coaching because all of our dbs are constantly out of place. we need to get pressure on qbs more as well. the rams have a shit OL and we didn't get a single sack. our whole defense is awful outside of lavonte david. he is hands down the defensive mvp this year

    Barron will be fine in coverage next season. Needs a season to adjust and hopefully he'll work this offseason on his cover skills.

    I like Bennett on the DL, seems to get a few hurries every week now.
