I know the team collapsed, but they still had a winning season.  You malcontents should be grateful you aren’t Lions fans.  I’m angry they collapsed, but they still had a better record than a majority of the teams in the NFL.  You people act like the world ended because we didn’t make the playoffs.  We have a lot of good young players.  As soon as we get a QB for the long term, we should be good to go for a few years.  Think of how good our team would be with a Brady or Manning.  A great QB could be all we need.  Manning has been winning games almost single-handedly.

Glazer boys are the Bernie Madoff of the NFL

Posted by  Greg, Bradenton on 12/29  at  08:31 PM

Where oh where are you Mr. Bennett. For all the complaints on Jon Gruden it is Mr. Allen who shoulders the majority of the blame here. For one, he carried too many old washed up veterans, especially at receiver. He has failed to obtain a QB capable of leading this team to a championship. In all the years Allen and Gruden have been here they have not developed a QB. Enough said.

I wish Williams well, but I think it is time to move on! He is like Clayton, their only claim to fame was their rookie year 4 and 5 years ago.  Since then, they both have been BUSTS taking up roster space for years and not performing even at a low level.  Williams is injury prone and can’t catch after years!  Clayton still can’t catch and no other team that I know of would have them on their practice squad!  In this case, GM, Coach, several asst. coaches and non productive players must be let go with new blood brought in to cleanse this team of mediocrity!

Unlike the Super Bowl Team of the 2002/03 Season, this Buc team lost its intensity as the season progressed. I complained about a struggling Offense to the inability of the defense to stop the run. I thought as many did that Gruden’s job as a motivator was a good one.  Gruden’s Head Coach & O- Coordinator work however seemed very poor. I want to thank Monte for all the good years as a defensive coord. He kept us in the top ten in defense almost every year he was in Tampa. Even with less than spectacular athletes on D-fense their play was always united and spirited to the point of willing temselves to win.  Next season will be a rebuilding year no telling what will happen or who will still be there.  But no matter, Go Bucs

Will Gruden or Allen get fired? NO. They just might get another extension for the “great” job they have done! If I fail in my job my boss will fire me but, then again he’s not my friend like the Glazers and ALLEN/GRUDEN! Ain’t it grand to have friends in high places Jon/Bruce? Why don’t ALL of you go to Tennessee,PLEASE!! LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!I got $14 towards that ticket to Cleveland nickatdabeach.

Posted by  Erik, Chester,Pa on 12/29  at  05:37 PM

All I am saying is when does this mediocraty year after year gets blamed on the people at the top like Gruden/Allen? Its always everything but them for the past 6 years!! What have we got since the SuperBowl? Winning the division twice!?!? Are you kidding? It’s boycott time. NO ONE renew your season tickets! It’s time the Glazers stop taking the best fans in the world for granted. Take all Bucs merchandise back to the stores! Damn can we fire the owwner,coach and G.M.? YES WE CAN!!! P.s. I will NEVER be a fan of another team but this is ridiculous! We want a REAL team!

Posted by  Erik, Chester,Pa on 12/29  at  05:30 PM

Hey mitch R,where are you? Stop hiding like Gruden. How do feel about the “bright” future we all didn’t understand but YOU(and ONLY you) saw? The greatest meltdown in team history, Kiffin goes out like a mouse, Caddys’ hurt again,Garcia may get a contract(still think he is a top 10 QB,Mitch?)with Greeze ball(Greise) as back up.The weakest defensive line and most penalized inconsistant offensive line ever!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MITCH? Where are you now? When will This crap stop? I will NOT support this trash until it changes. The YUCK was better than this crap.ABANDON SHIP!!!!

DON’T START BLAMING BIDWELL FOR THE TEAM’S PROBLEMS. HE HAD ONE BAD GAME AND SOME IDIOT WANTS TO GET RID OF HIM.THIS SPEAKS VOLUUMES FOR THIS MORON.
HE’S THE BEST PUNTER IN BUCCANEER HISTORY, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO CARLELL WILLIAMS. HE WORKED SO VERY HARD REHABILITATING HIMSELF, AND WAS PLAYING LIKE HIMSELF, THEN HE GOES DOWN.I HOPE HE’LL REHAB HIMSELF JUST AS HARD THIS TIME, AND RETURN NEXT SEASON. DUNN HAS HAD IT. HE’S A GOOD MAN, BUT TOO OLD TO CONTRIBUTE ANYMORE. IN FACT, MOST OF THE TEAM IS OVER THE HILL, THUS NECESSITATING A COMPLETE REBUILDING JOB.
WE NEED A NEW HEAD COACH, OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR,DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, AND SPECIAL TEAMS COACH. WAITING ON THE RAYS, A TERRIFIC TEAM THAT WILL ONLY GET BETTER.

My note below is meant for joan gruden, not mr cadillac, apologies for the confusion

Posted by  nickatdabeach, Tampa Bay on 12/29  at  04:58 PM

Southwest Air has a $200 deal on fares to Cleveland so why don’t you use some of that playoff bonus to.. oops.. revision-> I’d imagine 30 of us are willing to chip $7 each to get you there. Name the best day/time, we’ll be in touch. Allen can carry your laundry bag, too.

The Auburn Family is praying for you Carnell. Weknow you’ll be back because of your heart. WAR EAGLE1

Hoping Caddy makes a full recovery.  Was sad to see him go down like that.

Caddy, Thanks for playing hard and the 2 TD’s!  You’ve got a lot of heart my friend.

“Good” news indeed. It could have been worse. IT sounds melodramatic, but I was heartbroken for the young man. Come back strong and be thankful the human body only has 2 pattelar tendons. You are a big part of the teams future and Graham and the gang can keep the seat warm for you. Pardon the pun, but Dunn is done. Even in a platoon role he was worn down by seasons end.

Posted by  Dan Roberts, Lakeland, FL on 12/29  at  03:50 PM

Thanks Wes. Some people don’t see trends for what they are. I like Williams, I enjoyed the offensive juggernaught at Auburn. The best thing the Bucs have going for them is an offensive line that if kept together can continue to gel and there are any number of pro backs that can run behind a great offensive line.

Hey Chris Carnell broke his collarbone his freshman year against Alabama not his junior year!Then his sophomore year he broke his leg against florida. His junior year he got the majority of the carries, and then split carries with ronnie his senior year!!!

Posted by  Chris, Nokomis, FL on 12/29  at  02:50 PM

If everyone on this team had the fire, the determination, the will that Cadillac has this team might not have collapsed and be sitting at home right now instead of in the playoffs. For the guy who said he shared carries at Auburn..he did that only in his senior year. His junior year was lost early due to a broken collarbone, but his sophmore year was all him. He can take the punishment of 25-30 touches a game. If you are tackled in a way causing injury that has nothing to do with not being able to handle touches (Terrel Davis, Edgerrin James, Larry Johnson all were work horses and still got injured.)

R.I.P. Joan Gruden, and take that punter with ya

Posted by  Dan Roberts, Lakeland, FL on 12/29  at  02:41 PM

Williams shared carries with Ronnie Brown and Jason Campbell, QB, at Auburn. The question has been can he run 35 carries a game in the NFL. Question answered. Granted, not many backs can endure this sort of punishment which is why running back by committee is favored. I hope he gets back to playing shape but 15 carries per game will be his max. With Kiffin gone we need to flush the coaching staff, bring in a future Hall of Famer (Cowher) and his people and start over.

Keep your head up Caddy. The Auburn family is pulling/praying for you. Remember the Auburn creed! “I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid” keep believing Caddy keep fighting your “luck” is going to change!

Posted by  João Baltazar, Florianopolis, Brazil on 12/29  at  02:17 PM

On a team that choke like that when they knew Monte was leaving work ethic like Caddy is very much needed.
We hope to see you well in next training camp.

Posted by  Brooks Morgan, Tampa on 12/29  at  02:04 PM

They always say it’s darkest before the dawn. Perhaps his success is waiting at the end of his rehab of this ordeal. Let’s pray he will pick himself off the matt and continue to fight with the heart of a champion! I believe if he does, he will be rewarded in the end! My prayers and well wishes go with you Carnell!

How can anyone be criticizing Williams at this point?  He worked his tail off to get back.  He was having a great game and looking at least as good as ever, given the limited number of chances he had.  Thank goodness it’s not as serious as thought.  He could be in training camp.  With Graham, Smith, and Williams we might actually have a good group of RBs.  I thought we might need to take 1 in an early round.  I hope we can get Gano in the 3rd or 4th.  We need a K who can make something over 45 yds.
