Picks for the Week

AUTHOR: Dustin Staggers | IN: Bucs | COMMENTS: None Yet

Raiders @ Dolphins - Raiders +4, Under 41
    This game is gross, and I don’t even feel like talking about it.
Texans @ Falcons – Texans -2.5, Under 39.5
    I contemplated trading for whatever teams defense plays the Falcons each week in fantasy football.
Ravens @ Browns – Ravens -4.5, Under 40
    I bet Derek Anderson doesn’t throw for 5 on Sunday.
Bears @Lions – Lions +3, Over 40
    Griese vs Kitna in a shootout.  Ever think you’d say that!?
Packers @ Vikings – Packers -2, Under 37.5
    Surprised the Pack are only giving 2 here, should be a defensive showdown.
Jets @ Bills – Jets -3.5
    [...]

Sunday’s Matchup Against Carolina

AUTHOR: Dustin Staggers | IN: Gameday | COMMENTS: None Yet

    This Sunday’s tilt vs the Carolina Panthers is easily the most important game of the season.  That sounds a tad cliche’, as any team that is winning faces a bigger game each and every week.  This weekends game has many ramifications besides just one W or L.
1.  The winner of the game is the division leader heading into Week 5.
2.  If we win – we are 2-0 in the NFC South after winning a grand total of 0 all last year.
3.  If we win – we have beaten the toughest team in our division, on the road, leaving us only [...]

This flag has been up for a few weeks, but I just drove by it today, and wanted to express my love for it!!! It is the largest Non-United States Flag flying in the nation.  It totals over 4,000 Square Feet.

Quote of the Week

AUTHOR: Dustin Staggers | IN: Bucs | COMMENTS: None Yet

“I can’t believe they pay me for that. I love these types of games. It was raining. There was blood. Just running to the ball. These are the types of games I like.
That’s Buc defense. That’s the standard that’s been set around here. Not just one guy to the ball, two, three, four, five – maybe 11 guys.”
-Bucs DT Chris Hovan

Analysis of 3 Key Matchups

AUTHOR: Dustin Staggers | IN: Bucs | COMMENTS: None Yet

DE Gaines Adams Vs. LT Alex Barron
Barron did a solid job of protecting Marc Bulger’s blind side on Sunday afternoon.  While the Bucs put a lot of pressure on Bulger, and even forced a sack at the end of the game, the majority of the pressure came from the LDE spot and the DT spots.  Gaines Adams had a key stop on a running play where he beat Barron around the endge, but all in all, Barron had a real solid performance. 

WR Joey Galloway Vs. CB Ronald Bartell
Joey Galloway was the target of Jeff Garcia on 7 different plays on Sunday.  Bartell [...]
