Ronde Barber is great day of achieving his first safety and his 27th sack were HARD TO ENJOY

St. Pete Times- Comeback falls short

Chris Harris not down on Josh Freeman– From Bucstop.com’s friend JOE on JoeBucsFan.com!

Bucs playoff chances- If the season ended today, the Bucs would be out of the playoffs based on tiebreakers. Mostly because we have now lost to the two teams were in a wild card skirmish with; Detroit and Chicago. With Green Bay dominant, one team is going to make the playoffs from that division. Bucs fans need to hope for Either Detroit or Chicago to keep losing, and hope the NFC East doesnt catch fire, because the Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles are are behind us at 3-3 or worse (Phily is 2-4).

Tampa Bay is still 1 game behind the Saints, whom we play in two weeks. New Orleans annihalated the Colts on Sunday Night Football, but remember, every time the Bucs situation looks hopeless…..
The Bucs have lost two in a row only once since 2009’s 3-13 season, last year when losing to Baltimore 17-10 and Atlanta 28-24.

Pewter Report’s Roundtable is excellent, and once again I recommend you pony up the 10.00 for a full year of being able to read anything on the site.

While I cant link to it, today’s roundtable discussed how Kregg Lumpkin was sold to us as being the second best running back coming out of high school behind Reggie Bush, but he only had 2 one hundred yard games while he was at Georgia. TWO!  And his longest run ever was 36 yards. No wonder when you take away Lumpkins one 13 yard run, he averaged 2 yards on 7 carries. If you gamble, bet the house Lumpkin will not be on the roster in 2012.

While I love the logic presented for getting Tiki Barber, the Bucs will never do such a thing. Its next man up for Morris’ boys, and that means Chad Spann or Mossis Madu will get their shot first. You bring in Barber, and then you have to explain why you didnt bring in so and so, and this guy, and that guy. 

Later this morning we talk about how Bucs NO.1 need going into the offseason is Running Back, and the Bucs will draft two of them no doubt.
Then we have a look today at Josh Freeman: is he really regressing?
