I am in no way, jumping off the bandwagon. I am a diehard fan, but even I have to start questioning what is wrong, and were we seeing things in the first 4-5 games?

Tampa is not a fluke.

Just not much depth at key positions.

Still have one of the best Defenses.

Yeah its gonna be a great hard fought game. Tampa has a good team.

Whenever their RB is not in the cards I usually dont pick them. I think they still need a QB. I think their defense is pretty decent but are they aging? I dont pay much attention to them so I may be off.

Injuries are certainly factoring in to their poor play in recent weeks. I mean, Tim Rattay is one play away from playing, and you don't want that. BTW, will the caddy be outta the shop on SUnday??

They are absolutley a fluke! Look at the teams they have beaten, they all suck:

Minnesota
Green Bay
Detroit
Buffalo
Miami

Even worse look at the teams they've LOST TO:

JETS!!!!
49ERS!!!
and a blowout to the Panthers

Carnell Williams is incredibly overrated! After starting with three 100 yd games against the 15th, 26th, and 31st rush Ds in the NFL he has now had 11 rushes for 13 yds against Detroit, 13 for 20 against San Fran, and 11 for 29 against Carolina.

The Sagarin Ratings show that they have played the easiest schedule in the NFL so far having played no top 10 teams and only one top 16 team! For that reason they are currently ranked 20th despite a winning record. It's also pretty easy to have a good defense when you only play awful teams. This team is incredibly overrated! No chance they make the playoffs even with Griese.

Their Defense is good though, which means that they have the potential to beat anyone.

If we can win the turnover battle, I think we win hands down. Can't give them chances to get a lead, their defense can make us one dimensional if we have to score in a hurry.

We're one dimensional all the time. :lol:

All jokes have a hint of truth. :twisted:
