Buccaneers @ Saints

Saints!!! I hope reggie plays like that all year.

Awesome game to attend. I was really worried on Tampa's final drive but we escaped.

And Tracy Porter is the f'n man. He played really well today minus a few missed tackles.

Oh yeah, Vilma was everywhere. He's just as good as advertised.

I can't wait to see Porter and Mike McKenzie together.

The last time the Saints beat the Buccaneers in week one, the Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl... so I'll take it!

PS - Bush did NOT get in on that last touchdown. Even the Saints' own radio man said, "Out at the three yard line!" on the replay. Ugh!

Yeah, he didn't get in but Gruden didn't challenge it either.

I didn't even realize there was a thread for the game. I mean, I was at a sportsbar during it but still. I didn't see one when I got back.

[Flyboy]

Oh, and Ellis/Porter played great today.

Thank you for at least having the class to admit it. But you're right about Gruden. It was completely boneheaded of him not to challenge it at that point in the game. It was 100% obvious that he didn't get in on the replay so they wouldn't have lost a timeout, just a challenge. That was the go ahead score and it was just like he gave up by not challenging the play. Sure, the Saints would have had the ball first and goal from the 3 yard line after the challenge and most likely would have taken the lead regardless, but you at least have to try to get that call overturned. Lousy coaching on Gruden's part.

Congrats to the Saints.

The Bucs looked awful on offense. Garcia and galloway looked old and had no chemistry, excatly what you'd expect since they havent taken a snap together since January. Stupid loss by the Bucs, we got outplayed and couldnt produce.
