Same ole same ole they refuse to run the ball so imma go out on a limb and grant the team another loss now. Bye bye see yall later.

[Dick Weed]

Yeah, pass on first...run on second and long. The kid shows no savvy and neither does the coaching staff. Another wasted #1.

[GoBucs]

I love saying I told you so, but its too easy this year. I glad you guys thought because people get pressure on Rodgers that he does not still play great. He was sacked 9 times last week and he threw 284 yards and 3 tds. People actually thought Tampa's pressure was going to stop GBs offense. HAHAHAHA. GO FREEMAN YOU SUCK!!

[D Block]

Ummm that was before the starting Tackles retuned. Both the left & right tackle are back for Greenbay this wk. So any pressure that this team gets this game they earned it.

The team is playing with good effort right now.

[Dick Weed]

Effort?????? Try getting a job by saying you will try but lack skill and knowledge.

[Larry]

Sure glad to see the bye week did lots for the team. They've given up 200+ yards with 7:38 left in the 2nd and have less than 80 yards themselves - truly pathetic. At least the creamsickle uniforms seem appropriate.

[Larry]

This is so pathetic!

[Larry]

3 plays, one penalty, one sack, one dropped snap and a 6 yards run on 3rd and 28 - PRICELESS!

[Opinion Master]

I keep hearing how screen plays are very effective against teams that blitz alot. well, Green Bay as every team has this season has blitzed a heck of a lot more then usual, yet no screens, don't remember even one this season.... What gives???

[D Block]

Opinion Master: I only have 1 answer Olsen! I remember him saying that his playbook didn't have the VOLUME! of Grudens but it also looks like it doesn't have the Volume of anyone elses at all. No rollouts or screens it may get better 1 day but i just don't see it happening any time soon.

[AL]

i thought freeman would be worse than he has shown. i also think this is the first time i like the orange uni's

[D Block]

Olsen & Raheem amaze me with their play calling. 1st & 5 they dial up a trick play instead of the running the ball and fail to capitalize on good field position this will prove costly. RUN THE BALL TARDS!!!!!

[Dick Weed]

Anyone care to guess how Raheem and Josh will celebrate this oh-so-rare victory?

[Valrico Rick]

A lot of bloggers seem to have nothing to say today?

[Brandon]

Bye Dblock, you missed a great win with the few buc faithful left

[Ace]

Nice WIN ! Should have started the rookie in week #2.....

About time!!! Freeman did not look too bad for a guy that started his 1st game. He look like a season veteran and he had alot of help too from special teams and defense. Let's see him do it again and make progress from here on out. Today, he proved me wrong. I was critical of him since he got drafted. As a fan, he better convince me that he is a legitimate QB in the NFL. It is only one game but he better continue his style of play at the QB position. Same goes for the defense and have a real kicker.

[Leo In Canada]

Congratulations to LeRoy Selmon, Coach Morris and the whole gang. Wow! Skynyrd playing in the background, Freeman looked like FREEBIRD! That was the best performance from a Buc QB this year. A few receivers to go with K2, Stroughter & Stovall and things will certainly improve. It is easier now to see the nucleus whom the braintrust plan to build around. Keep up the great effort boys.

[Jay]

Kellen Winslow looks like he was the smartest investment this team has made in a long time.

Give me a few games with Freeman, and I might be willing to make that same statement again. Either way, great job. I was actually giddy that we were going to win for the first time this season.

[willem]

Wow great win Bucs, was not happy when they drafted freeman but allways support the team.

Wow today we got contrebutions of in-season pick ups like crowder and bennet, means dommenick knows what he is doing( read peanut, stroughter,k2 trade, gaines adems trade)

Man the special teams are a joy to watch, I say go BUcs lets see what we can do in miami next week we are on a roll, we can finish 9-7 lmao

[D Block]

Brandon I was saying bye to the blog lol. I never cut off the game you should all know that by now i watch and record the game so i can watch it later.

[TrueBucFan]

Congrats on the win. Freeman looks good in the red zone, not sure of too much else. But yes, yes I know hes young. Alot of big play and luck from the ST and D made this win possible. Good job Clifton and Geno on ST for keeping Tampa in the game. The run D still lokks horrible, which is not good going against the number one run team in Miami, but thank you Bucs for not going 0-16. Morris I still think you are a horrible coach and the Glazers got booed a little. I don't want to end this blog negative. So good job Bucs.

[Dick Weed]

Bucs beat a team in a tailspin that had a horrible game plan. Jury out on Freeman but no matter what, he could have been taken in the third round.
