Yet again, SI give us no props.

In related news, Peter King pulls a stunner and picks against Carolina again.

They are just hyping things up. We (Bucs) are just an average team on the road and better step up and play decent ball or we will be sitting in a sports bar watching the games come play off time.

One thing this SI writer did get right is this:

If Moose and our other receivers/tight-ends don't show up to play, were skrewed.

They are just hyping things up. We (Bucs) are just an average team on the road and better step up and play decent ball or we will be sitting in a sports bar watching the games come play off time.

We both struggle in similar ways on the road, but you can't convince any of the dipsh*ts in the national sports media that the Bucs are anything but worlds better than Carolina.

The verbiage of the author changes entirely when talking about the Bucs too. A "solid four-point loss" against the Cowboys. What? A "solid loss" against a Brad Johnson quarterbacked team? He trashes us for having to come back against the Lions and yawns at us blowing out the Saints and Chiefs, but he practically sucks Gruden off for his comeback wins over the Chiefs and Lions.

Also, he claims that our wins over Oakland, Kansas City, and Detroit came when they were in their worst shape. Those teams are a combined 5-32, what the hell does their "good shape" look like?

Like ive said before Fu*k em...but if we lose on monday all these columns that have been written will be vindicated

[SorthNarolina]

WTF, this article is poo

we destroy the chiefs 34-0, big whoop, but the bucs get there ass kicked all over the field but come back to win in OT and they're gutsy

some writers make valid points and present their case well about our weaknesses but this article is poo

On the opposing defense, keep your eyes on right defensive end Julius Peppers, who's found his motor again.

Classic generic sports writing that is off base from the truth. Pep has never been known as a "motor" guy.

on a passing game that relies heavily on runners coming out of the backfield.

Really?!?!

This dude just watched the Packers game and thinks he's an expert on the panthers.

Oh, absolutely. If we lose, they're all going to look brilliant.

Look, there are plenty of reasons to pick against us on Monday and he makes valid points about the passing game. On the other hand, half of his article is just unfiltered bullshit that makes no fuging sense, and therein lies my problem.

The guy sounds like a POS. I can't believe he said that about Jarrett.

I picked up on that too. Roddy White and Michael Jenkins were both considered busts for years too. When I watch Jarrett, I see a guy slowly getting it. He'll be there in a season or two.

As Rodgers neared the sideline it was clear on television that Peppers should have pulled up and settled for what would have been no gain. Instead, he put his shoulder down and launched into Rodgers, drawing a late hit penalty and setting Green Bay up at the seven. So yes, Peppers has his motor back, but he's also showing the reckless demeanor that characterized his early career.

Peps late hit was the play of the game... it knocked Rodgers silly and helped us win...

Peps having a "reckless demeanor" should scare the sh*t out of opposing teams.

I'm glad the media guys are down on us, the Panthers play better that way.

This piece from that article says all that I need to know about this fug-stick who wrote it..

"Then came that win over Carolina, a win over Seattle, and a solid four-point loss in Dallas that ended on fourth-and-five at the Cowboys 18."

He neglects to mention that it was against a Cowboys team with Brad Johnson at QB.....and I dont think anyone is going to forget how absolutely god-awful they were without Romo.
