With Carolina, Atlanta, and the Saints in the division, not to mention the rest of the better NFC teams, the Bucs won't have that great of a chance of making the playoffs for awhile.

Oh for the days of Matt Millen!

If Ralph keeps Jauron, it will rank right up there with some of his dumbest decisions. I can't see many people getting season tix or luxury box owners re-upping. And that will MORE than off-set the money he has to eat if he fires Jauron.

Most definitely. The Bucs' defense was still dominating and the offense had a lot of talent that Gruden was able to coach-up. And facing his old team, who hadn't changed their signals, in the SB certainly helped a ton.

The point being, neither team has much to say about the other, and since Kiffin just left (coincided with their demise), their misery is just starting.

As I said in another post, the Dols' (and Falcons') success is largely due to QB play. Get even an average performance from Trent during the 5 losses in which he played half or all of the game and the Bills win the division. The big question is, is Trent the guy? Or do they bring in someone else?

I'm sure it will be electric.

Wait until next year. The Bucs are done without Kiffin.

He'll last another season. But with Monte Kiffin gone, the Bucs are toast. Kiffin saw the writing on the wall, hence the reason he decided to become his son's DC in college (WTF!).

Probably.

Looks like Defender51 picked the wrong year to switch teams.

The Dols' success is mostly because of Pennington, who was cast-off by the Jets and joined the Dols because of their previously woeful QB situation and Parcells being their GM (and having drafted Pennington). Put Pennington on the Bills and the Bills are the ones making the playoffs. The Bills thought that Edwards was the QB of the present. They appear to be wrong. But go Dols and go Ravens!

Pro Football Weekly is still around? I thought it died with Joel Buschbaum?

The problem is that even though JP's gone, it still doesn't mean Trent will play any better OR stop being injury-prone.

I don't agree, but it doesn't matter. If the Packers lose to the Lions, and even otherwise, I'm sure more than a few Packers fans aren't happy with how the season went.

It's all about points allowed (and scored). You win by scoring more points than your opponent. You can either score more, or allow scores less.

Too bad for JP that no one picked-up his fumble (much less tackled Ellis before he got into the endzone) like Lynch did on Trent's fumble last weekend. I guess JP just fumbles wrong as well.

I think I want to see the Lions win, just to see the Packers fans go head-hunting for Ted Thompson. I think that had Favre stayed in Green Bay, they run away with the division.

So wait, fumbles and INT's in the middle of games, a la that 0-4 stretch, don't count?

It was also better than any of Trent's seasons so far. Nevermind JP's 2006, which is something Trent dreams of having.

Punt it away, Cheaters!

If Trent's performances aren't troubling enough, his inability to stay healthy is downright frightening.

You got me there, considering JP didn't play much his rookie year, and in his first year as a starter he got yanked in and out of the lineup, the team was bereft of talent overall, and Mularkey was a schlub.
