Penalties at crucial times are killing us this year! 14 penalties for 105 yards last night. That was the only thing that kept the Colts in it really. A crucial one was for an illegal catch when Benn's heel touched the whitewash just before he caught it. He went in for a 60+ yard TD before it was called back. We would have been 7-3 up at that point but on the next drive went 10-0 down.

Lagarette Blount is a BEAST though!!!!! MVP last night by far!

We still have a long way to go but hopefully a win against the 49ers this weekend will see us going into the IS game at least 4-2. Were winning ugly at the moment but right now all that matters is that we are winning.

Your coach talks some crap "Why not us"? I will tell him why, because the Packers would give you 40+ to deal with in a heartbeat.

What's the largest ever margin of victory in the NFL? We head to Green Bay after the bye week and I predict at least 60 for the Pack.

What he been saying?

You may have to finally stop saying they can't beat winning teams if they beat the 49ers this weekend.

Probably... Well find out in December. As far as what he says goes... When was the last time you heard a coach say that his team doesn't really have a chance? Especially when being 3-1? Whether he believes it himself or not it's all about keeping the confidence going. We will get better in attack but the D has been very good the last 2 weeks

I've got the feeling over the last couple of years that you really don't like the Bucs

Bears 73 - Washington 0. 8th December 1940.

Our offence has been excellent so far but I don't think even A-Rod could put up 73.

We play the Falcons this week who will be after blood given the humiliation we gave them in the play-offs. Will be a tough game for us. Our offence is looking excellent, A-Rod hasn't left his play-off form but our defence has looked pretty suspect at times. It's started to come together the last 2 weeks but the Falcons have a lot of weapons to cover.

They don't bother me at all. Fans who just overrate their own teams annoy me. Most on here are quite fair and honest about their teams. Even Conroy predicts a loss for the packers from time to time. Aren't you 20th in defence?

Been saying "Why not us" to his team in term's of winning the whole thing. They have beat the Falcons who are a very balanced team. Also scraped victories against two 0-4 teams. They have the Saints to play twice and the Panthers won't be easy. Also have to play the Bears and the Packers. That's a reason I don't get giddy about the Giants. Not done anything special yet.

Yeah, first 2 weeks we were poor. Since Foster took over the play calling we have been much better. We allowed 31 yards total rushing out of the Falcons and 60 yarrds rushing against the Colts. It's something we have missed for a long time but now we look to be getting somewhere near.

And I have never overrated my team. I said at the start of this season that I thought we had a 9 win schedule. Were quarter of the way in and we have a 3rd of what I predicted with an easier 2nd half of the season coming up. Saying that, who's to say we wont lose 3 on the bounce now to the 49ers, Saints and Bears? I'd be surprised if we won more than 1 of those if our attack doesnt get its act together. If we keep restricting teams to less than 20 points though we will have a chance.

And as far as Raheem goes you are mistaking arrogance for confidence. He knows we have a very young team who are playing well enough to win at the moment but by saying positive things it keeps the confidence high in the camp.

Also, the only time I ever really post good stuff about the Bucs if after we have won! What do you want me to do. Not mention it?

You were getting giddy in pre-season when players did well. I do agree that you have a good young team and Freeman is an outstanding prospect, although may be the fourth best QB in your division. your previous beefs have been with the Bucs getting the credit they deserve, which they will when they beat good teams on a regular basis. Your record at the moment is a game above where I'd have you given your schedule, so they're doing well. I have Raheem down as being stupid "best team in the NFC" that makes him look daft, not arrogant or confident.
