It's not as bad as ST two years ago! But they do need to get better. We can't work our butts off on defense and offense to see the special teams hand them stuff like that.

I'm suprised that Gardner has done so well. He's been Brunell's go-to-guy..Another 27 yards baby!

WTH?! good thing Morton was paying attention on that mishap.

2 minutes to go til the half.....I think we are gonna pull away with this soon. NOTHING is going Tampa's way! I love it!

looking great, but not getting points. Hopefully Gibbs can adjust that during halftime like he always did.

Whats up with the MTF replay booth????

Defense is getting tired. We have to hold them here.

Nausea break. What'd I miss? WTH? Last I saw, Gardner had just caught a heck of a pass. No score? Wha' happened?

Taylor forced a fumble and we did not challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we couldn't challenge, inside 2 minutes. replay officials HAVE to challenge that, it was very close. they muffed that one. Sean Taylor showing his skills already, even though he's under the weather =)

Well we need to come back from halftime strong. That is where Spurrier majorly lacked. Gibbs and Buges needs to fire this team up.

Oh......man this is some smash mouth football and I am loving it.

Yes we will adjust. We are starting to look alittle stale out there. Though if we win this way Id say "take it."

Portis with 105 first half rushing yards, gotta love it!!!

First half thoughts:

Can only complain about the special teams. A couple of long returns and a missed FG (but a reasonable miss from 50).

Everything else seemed like a time warp back to 1992. If that's true, I want the last 12 years of my life back. There are some things I'd like to do differently!

I think his knee was down, still should have been reviewed.

complete stats

Tampa
57 yards passing
8 yards rushing

Skins
75 yards passing
122 rushing

skins 1 sack 1 FR
tampa nada

should probably have two FR, stupid officials

Couldn't script a better half for Portis - especially his first run as a Skin to the House for a TD.

Got robbed on the spot at the goal line tho - would have challenged that one.

Second half should be more of Gibbs super adjustments.

We need to make more first downs and gets some points tho - a 7 point lead doesn't make me feel too comfortable.

Yep we need to see everyone come out the way they did the first quarter. Except the ST. They need to be a bit better.

The new poll should be what will Portis have in the second half.

Im going to say 40 more in the second half.

7 point lead isn't comfortable, but we are dominating this game, and with Gibbs at the helm, it will only get worse for Tampa in the 2nd half. This aint the same team of years past.

I agree, we should have challenged that one. Wheres that guy Gibbs hired?

I think Portis will get 65 more yard.

I don't know how much more Portis will be used. I'd really hate wearing him out in the first game of te season. I don't mean take him out all together, but let him rest a bit.

I feel you on that. Maybe we should see if Betts can break it up field. Yes..Yes!!!

It seems they are splitting it up but I am going big I say 90 more yards for Portis. I have been joking that I'm going to nickname him Portis the Tortoise after preseason. That's out the window now. LOL
