		<description><![CDATA[Well, it was as ugly as it could possibly be. Not only did they drop the final four games of the season and miss the playoffs, but they did it in old school orange Buccaneer fashion. I think we all took the Carolina loss fairly well, it was on the road against a tough team and the Bucs were banged up. The Atlanta game was tough to swallow, but it was another tough road game and we could all understand it a little. The San Diego game was an absolute disaster and no one wanted to believe that it actually happened. It all could have been salvaged though with a win against an awful Oakland team and a Cowboy loss. The Cowboys did their part by taking an absolutely laughable beating at the hands of the Eagles, but it was too little too late. The Bucs had already lost to the second most dysfunctional team in the NFL, and it wasn&#8217;t as close as the 31-24 score would lead one to believe. This monumental collapse has left me wondering, who do we blame for this? Let&#8217;s try to figure it out. The offense? Jon Gruden&#8217;s offense has never really taken [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   In not so surprising news today the Bucs placed RB Earnest Graham and LB Geno Hayes on injured reserve and they will be gone for the rest of the season. Graham hurt his ankle in the first quarter of the Viking game and coach Jon Gruden immediately speculated that he was gone for the year. Coach was right for once and Graham&#8217;s done. Hayes also left the game Sunday with a knee injury and has been lost for the season. Hayes&#8217; injury isn&#8217;t a big blow but Graham&#8217;s absence will be huge. This puts a lot more pressure on the aging Warrick Dunn and rookie Clifton Smith. The Bucs added free agent RB Noah Herron and brought back LB Matt McCoy to fill Graham and Hayes&#8217; spots on the roster. McCoy played in a few games earlier in the year when Barrett Ruud went down and did an adequate job. Herron hasn&#8217;t played since 2006 and will likely fill the emergency back role once occupied by Micheal Bennett (think the Bucs miss him now?). There is also speculation now that Edgerrin James has asked for his release and, in a round about way, is interested in the Bucs. Buc &#8216;Em shot this article up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    I mentioned in my post yesterday morning that the game in Kansas City felt like a trap game and boy it sure had all the familiar symptoms of a trap game. Only problem? The Bucs won. They came out flat, turned the ball over, gave up large chunks of yard and fell behind 24-3. Immediately following the field goal by the Chiefs good ol&#8217; Clifton Smith (who?) ran the kickoff back for a touchdown (second in team history) and snatched the momentum away from the Chiefs. It was an entertaining game that featured great play from Antonio Bryant, Barrett Ruud and even Michael Clayton. Clayton still isn&#8217;t the impact receiver the Bucs thought they had but he appears to be developing into a decent possession receiver. Between Clayton&#8217;s play and injuries it seems Maurice Stovall&#8217;s storied career with the Bucs is over. It wasn&#8217;t a pretty win but it was great for this team to pull it out. So many times before a good team gets caught in these games, doesn&#8217;t win and it becomes a distracting disappointment that lingers on and eats away at them. By pulling that victory out, the Bucs have something to feel good about and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   The Bucs have finished the first half of their season 5-3 with a 4-0 home record and there are still a ton of questions hovering over them. The first half was riddled with typical Gruden drama, questionable play calling and player personnel decisions along with the typical &#8220;D&#8221; we&#8217;ve gotten so used to seeing. Some of the good things we&#8217;ve seen so far include&#8230; Earnest Graham is the workhorse RB we saw last season and looks like he&#8217;s improving on every aspect of his game. He was always a good blocker so that&#8217;s just the norm there, but his improvement on catching the ball out of the backfield and his field vision have made him my leading candidate for offensive MVP on this team. Antonio Bryant has stepped up and done more than anyone could&#8217;ve expected in Joey Galloway&#8217;s absence. We&#8217;ve had reclamation projects at this position before who we&#8217;ve been told would make big impacts (remember David Boston?) but this one looks to be the real deal. The defense in still headed by Monte Kiffin, why expect less? The entire defense has showed they&#8217;re still one of the top units out there. D-Brooks looks 25 again, Barrett Ruud is playing [...]]]></description>
