Thanks, One game scares me. The "swamp" game. Go Noles -
Actually, You should have beat the Buc's by about two TD's. Vinnie looked good. He had quite a few dropped balls also. Curtis Martin still looks hurt. The Buc's should have lost to the Packers and Detroit. They were the worst 4-0 team out there. I'd be surprised if they get 9-7 this year. Griese sucks.
