Yeah, okay…

Your “last year’s” #2 D isn’t going to look so ‘#2’ during the season opener. Shockey...? Who cares about Shockey? Yeah, he will be helpful, but I am not a huge fan of him. Shockey isn’t necessarily the guy to worry about, well, maybe just a little bit. Yeah, I am sure your Bucs got a little better after the draft, but we got a little better too - much better actually. Our D has been greatly improved. Our new corners are better, and the better D line is going to surprise you. Just like any other team during preseason, they are not doing anything special, but the play book will be opened for the regular season. We will be balanced this year. The Saints will be the NFC champs.

You tell em Sky - don’t you let any of those big mouthed No fans come over here and talk garbage.  You gotta believe the lack of intelligence that you have to possess to come to another teams comments section and talk stuff when your team got blanked in 07 by the #2 Defense in the NFL.  How stupid can they be.  Who dat is dats gonna get beat again?  Who else - it’s dem der Aints!!

I have to give you Saints fans credit fer coming on to our site regularly to pat yourselves on the back for doing absolutely nothing dus far. I guess we will chalk it up to South Champion Envy! Dat der be Freudian slip fer you edumacated Nawlenz folk. Problem is that we got better too and we got a little something fer dat der Shockey - he’ll be T-Jacked up and discover a Ruud awakening across the middle of the #1 defense in the NFL. We got the cure to your ill, but can you stop our balanced offense, dat’s da question? We’ll see as the season opener looms around the corner. Hope Shockey isn’t out too late the on Bourbon St the night before that game, cuz he is in for a long day!!! Go Bucs!!!

Boys boys boys such negativism.  They’re injured and they haven’t played a game yet!  There too old, they can’t see, they’re crippled.  Come on boys!  Where is your faith, where is your team spirit.  This is not the Bucs of the 80’s.  This is the 2008 Bucs which have only improved from the 2007 Buc’s which were kicking the Giants butts until Joey went down and they became one dimentional. 
AS for you Saint fans - who dat who dun got der a$$ whop las year?  It be dem der Aints.  And they Aint gonna be NFC South champs again dis year!  Circle your calendars again this year for another whoopin.  Because they’ll be no sympathy for dem der AINTS this year.  That is unless the underwater city goes underwater again.

Jake, thats true, injuries are a big part of the game as i’m sure you are well aware of but you can say that with just about any team out there. if Romo and TO go down where are the Cowboys. If Duce doesn’t come back 0 where does that leave the Saints? if Galloway and Garcia go down for any extended period of time it could be a long season. I think both Luke and Chris are capable of coming into a game and not losing it but i’m not sold on either leading the team deep into the playoffs ... at least not at this point in their careers. and for some reason, call it homerism maybe, but i think the WR corps are going to put on a strong performance this year.

but ask me again about that at about week 6 =)

Chuck, just because your objective about your team and not a cheerleader does not mean your not a fan. Bill,Galloway and Garcia havent even played a game yet and they are nursing injuries. Either one goes down and thats all she wrote.

Jake,

I agree. The Bucs don’t have much of an offence, so unless the Bucs’ defence can score the majority of the points like the Bears’ defence did in 2006, they won’t make it to the playoffs; no way, not this season.

Chuck King,

We are all going to watch the “no win” Saints light up your D. You might want to buy some more beer to keep youself feeling happy for that game.

“Who Dat!” That’s the chant, Jake!

Jake, why do you think the Bucs can not make a serious run in the playoffs? not bashing you, a serious question.

great defense
above average running game
solid QB
solid ST
depth
average WRs

i think the WRs will dictate how far Tampa goes. if they continue to be average then it could be a one and done in the playoffs but if they can step up (and Bryant plays like he is capable of playing) then Tampa could be one of the top teams in the NFC.

if you don’t feel so, please explain otherwise.

Jake - the New Orleans wbsite is WWW.NOWINS.com - my lad - your in the wrong place.  See Ira for Idiot.  He is listed under Idiot in Websters.  Hey did anyone notice that Ira has not writern an article since his debacle.  Ladys and Gentileman - Ira Kaufman has left the building.  Now maybe we’ll get some responsible reporting!

Posted by  Jake, Tampa on 08/08  at  11:14 AM

Why is it that the majority posters on this site all seem to be drinking the Kool Aid prepared by Gruden and Allen. If you really think the Bucs can make a serious run in the playoffs, you are just kidding yourself

"what happens next?”

they make it sound like we had NO quarterbacks and Farve was our only option. “what happens next?” how about they go out and practice like they have been doing and get ready to kick some butt once the season starts? we are already a playoff caliber team without Farve and have just as good a shot at making it out of the NFC as anyone else does.

Ira and Roy are officially idiots in my book. I now understand why people that post on here are so negetive to them. Add me to the corner that thinks these two morons should be fired and replaced with actual professional sports reporters.

Roy, Roy young lad; be careful. What do you mean - What happens now? Let’s not fall into the Ira stupidity thing! What happens now is we play football. That’s a simple and definative answer. It is also the obvious choice (goes w/o saying). We go to practice, kick a little a$$ and get ourselves ready for a SB run. The talent on this team is much greater than most of you give credit for and I do believe that A. Bryant will suprise all of us with what he can do. Clayton will also step up but it will be Bryant who steals the show. Joey will do what he does best and Ike will also be right there. In ref. to Bryant,the only thing really holding this guy back is himself- if he can deal w/ himself we’ll be in for a wild ride.
