Isn't Rhonde Barber 1 sack away from the team record?
i believe he is .. and i am anxiously awaiting him to have a "rhonde game" this season ... it should have been weeks ago when both of his interceptions were called back ... i know that must have driven him crazy

I know what you mean! (and You were acting "beastly" haha.) It was kind of tough to take, playing against the team with the most penalties in the NFL, & our guys were the ones getting all the penalties....Smith dropped pass & Byrant missing field goals. No really highly critical errors enough to cost us the game though. But there was a lot of good stuff happening too.New Team record - 43 min. 7 sec. in regulation.Yes, Garcia is a "warrior." And Graham is the man! I enjoyed what he said in an interview - "I run hard" and "I fall forward."Our new rookie starting defensive guy (whose name I can't remember... that is from N.C.... that likes country music.) Good for him to make starting position as a rookie.Yes I hear you on the sacks. Thought we had one though ( or maybe I am just remembering Manning getting sacked by the Pats. yuck,yuck ..that was an awesome game! btw) Isn't Rhonde Barber 1 sack away from the team record? The Safeties - Phillips & Jackson are really working it. That cover 4 defense is hard.well, skin of our teeth man, skin of our teeth! it seems like the bucs have decided to try very hard to give me a freakin heart attack this season .. these close games are killing me .. plus my dog is scared of me after my "hat throwing incident" after alex smith dropped that touchdown pass.... and my excessive swearing after we get called for a false start, when the cardinals swatted the ball away from the center... folks i made chucky seem calm on that one !
how about a standing ovation for the defense !! holding the cardinals to 23 yards running? and two interceptions .. nice nice work! no sacks .. dissapointed about that but overall a fine performance!
and jackson and phillips are striking fear into recievers the way lynch used to .... one pop at a time !
stovall made it look like he was made to be the gunner on punt returns .. and on that last one maaaaaan he hammered breaston !
i was truly amazed he didnt cough that ball up ... i bet he is still feeeling that one
and earnest graham what can i say ? 124 yards rushing and a td ...he has proven week in and week out he can carry the load and give everything he has got doing it! even when he was stopped dead cold he fell forward gaining another yard .. i was hoping for some more screen passes to bennett .. really because i'm worried about graham getting worn out going into the 3rd and 4th quarters ... i'm excited at the idea of getting pittman back to take some weight off graham's shoulders
impressive performance by garcia proving he has the heart of a warrior, fighting for first downs when he should have been sacked .. galloway making an amazing catch i held my breath on, hilliard proving he is a go to guy especially on 3rd downs
the weak points i saw: 9 penalties for 70 yards .. maaaan come on! we gave up 3 sacks and got none of our own, bryant hit a cold streak on fg's, red zone scoring offense 33%
now the defensive stats look pretty good considering we kept their offense off the field most of the game so no high stats for ruud, brooks, june, barber etc
lets hope we have a great off week get no new injuries and see some of our guys come back !
