These was a rough game around. On one hand every section of the
team scored. Score on defense, offense, and speical teams. The
only bad thing is they all scored the same amount of touchdowns,
one a piece. The offense couldn't get going and the defense
couldn't stop the Bucs. The worse part about it all was Jerry
Rice had a good game and went over 100 yards, but he could of
had over 200 if it wasn't for all the penalties and reviewed
plays. Both of those took a lot of yards from him and one of
them took back a touchdown that would of tied the game at the
time. Gannon could not get out of the pocket with out throwing a
bad pass or getting sacked. As much as we hate to admit it the
team is really show their age. Minius Rice and Brown the rest of
the offense looks old. Gannon couldn't out run any of the
linemen. Couldn't get the ball to his receivers. Gannon went
8-14 for 83 yards and 3 interecptions. He looked like just a
mess he was not the Gannon that lead us to a Superbowl and was
our leader. He looked more like a guy ready to hang them up. He
was so bad in the game that they put in Kerry Collins after
half. They needed to do something for the team to give them a
jolt. Collins did do better than Gannon in one half. Collins was
11-21 for 235 yards. He was able to get the offense their first
touchdown. It came in the 4th quarter but she was still able to
help the team score. But he also looked like Kerry Collins and
threw 2 picks. I don't know if Collins will be the starter next
week or if Gannon will keep his job another week. That is
something head coach Norv Turner will have to figure out during
the week. But if you thought the pass game was bad the running
game was a lot worse. Wheatley couldn't do anything on the Bucs
d. He rushed the ball 6 times for only 33 yards. On the other
hand though once they were down but a lot they gave up on the
run. They tired it once or twice but couldn't get through the
line so they abandoned it. But when you can't get past your own
line yeah I wouldn't run it much either. The other real good
thing about the offense was their receivers. Rice and Brown were
able to get their numbers and put up some good ones. Rice had 8
catches for 113 yards. It should of been more but bad calls
brought them back and his only score also came back. Brown had 5
receptions for 99 yards. Had himself just as good of a day as
Rice. Not quite Rice but better than nothing. It helped once
Gannon was out and Collins was in and someone was able to get
them the ball. No one else on the team really did anhthing. No
one other than Rice and Brown had more than 2 catches and no one
got over 40 yards receiving. And the only one who caught a pass
only caught one pass. Tight End Jolley had 1 reception for 4
yards and that was the only passing TD. Porter who we thought
would shine looked like the opposite of what we thought. He has
2 receptions for 28 yards. And rookie Morant who had his first
real action today had 2 catches for 34 yards. That's what we
excepted from a rookie but Porter isn't a rookie and he looked
worse than the rook. But Porter wasn't the only one who looked
bad, the defense was really off today. They didn't seem like
their normal selves. They gave up 456 yards total. 315 through
the air and the Bucs back run for 141 yards. And that isn't the
worst of it. The defense was in the red zone 6 times. 6 times
you would think that the Raiders will stop them at least once.
No the Bucs went 6/6. They were perfect in the red zone and
didn't even seem scared being there. They had the confidence the
Raiders needed. They were able to get a pick by Grant who was
able to bring it back. But while they turned 1 turnover into 7
points the Bucs turned their turnovers into 20 points. They hurt
the defense bad. Gibson looked really good be able to get
himself 11 tackles lead both teams in tackles. Look for him to
maybe be player of the week on defense. He did as much as he
could but if the rest of the team isn't helping he can't do it
alone. Harris, Cooper and Hamilton we're almost able to get to
Brad Johnson and take him down. Harris was also able to bring in
7 tackles of his own. They we're on the field a lot so they were
able to pile up the tackles. The veteran Rod Woodson had a
decent game with 4 tackles on the day. The other Woodson,
Charles Woodson had only 2 tackles, but they also weren't going
his way that often. It was not a good day for them on prime
time. Let's hope that this game will not drag on to next week.
They get to face the Texans but they will be on the road so
let's see if they can at least bring their A game to Houston so
we don't lose two in a row. Being 1-2 is bad enough let's not
dig a deeper hole.
