Oh yeah!  I agree!  If some things don't start shaping up with these "W" stats, Grudens gonna be shippin' out of Avila as fast as he moved in!

As a Denver Broncos fan, I loathe almost all things Raiders. I always admired Gruden, however. I think he needs to be cut a little bit of slack here, don't you?? He did, after all COACH A SUPER BOWL WIN FOR YOU!!! There will be those that say he did it with Dungy's guys...but why didn't Tony do it with his own? Has the first year's success run out at this point? I wonder why the front office doesn't get more blame than Jon? After all, it wasn't he that wanted to let borderline hallof-famers in Lynch and Sapp loose

HI Jim - I am also DENVER fan, and it BROKE MY HEART and CRUSHED MY SOUL literally when Lynch left!!!  I am not over that one!  Sapp, I could take him or leave him, a lot of the time he was an A*S to the general public and in my opinion was not a "team player".  He is however a 'good' football player, and played hard for the BUCS, even when we were the WORST team in the NFL!  ~ I'll give him that!

I Like Gruden, I thought TONY DUNGY was not "tough enough" but it's clear his is a GREAT coach, and a GREAT person.  The problem is they brought Grueden in to BUILD our offense, and it's still not really that great! 

No matter how you slice it, Grueden won the superbowl with Dungy's team! However a "W" is STILL a W and that W won us the superbowl that year!

Thanks for you comment

Katrina,

Lynch and Sapp didn't leave...they were shown the door--- BIG difference! You won't find a more stand-up guy than Lynch in any walk of life. Sapp, to me ( an outsider of the Tampa, Oakland and Miami [Hurricane] regions) have always found Sapp to be extremely genuine and charismatic. Now, maybe that's a facade for the TV cameras- but he has an opinion on everything and will share it if asked....I LOVE people that you know good, bad or ugly, you're getting thr truth from.

If I could ask one more question: What have the Bucs given Gruden to work with and build an offense...In Oakland he had Tim Brown and Rich Gannon...Is Chris (don't call me Phil's baby) Simms the guy?

what, chris Simms isn't even our quartback... (outside of griese) we have not had a GOOD quarterback since Vinny Testeverde.   The problem is our offense sucks, including the quarterbacks... we brought gruden in to BUILD what we were lacking he has made some great changes and moves. 

We lost some great ones (LYNCH kills my soul ~ STILL MY FAVORITE PLAYER).  How did we get on the Gruden topic anyway?

First comment and your reply to it got us on the Gruden talk; sorry! Think a game on either side of .500 is reasonable for Tampa fans to expect, right? That schedule doesn't look to be the easiest...outside of New Orleans and Carolina (4 toughies) they play @ Seattle, Indianapolis and San Francisco (a team that I think is going to shock most this year) and home versus St. Louis, Jacksonville and Arizona!!

Ah, it looks like I'll be in Tampa on November 25th.  I drove up for one game last year and will likely drive up again this year - when my Skins come to town.  Except I'm not sitting in the Skins section this time, ie, 2nd row from the top.  We were so high up I think I accidentally stepped on God's toes. 

As for your QB of the future, I would like to see what your MAC guy does going forward - Gradowski or something like that.  He looked really bad at times last year, but he's green.  Give him a few years and see what happens.  He was phenomenal in college!

Unfortunately, if Gradkowski sees the field, the Bucs ought to just put an emergency room in the locker room. Garcia won't come off that field for a play if Gruden can help it this year---

Jim it's really sad isn't it?  WOW I am so impressed, do you know that much about EVERY team or just the BUCS?

David - we always play the Rams well!  (as we do carolina)  Especially after Tampa got cheated the Super Bowl opportunity, you know the year we would have had HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE for the superbowl !!! <sigh>

1st piece of fantasy advice:  don't draft until September.  Inevitably there are preseason injuries and it takes a lot of fun out of fantasy to have a star knocked out before the season even starts.  We rarely draft before Aug 28th or so.  This year one of my leagues might have to go early due to schedule conflicts, which does concern me.

Thanks!  I'll be counting on you guys for help!

Saturday August 25th is our draft day, I don't plan any of that, so i guess You guys can help me with the

pre-line up and we'll see who make the injury report until then.

we do have the option to trade, drop, add players.. so that should help if there any injuries!

Frank - have you ever noticed that when you play us HERE you win, and vise versa... we always seem to win those away games when we play you, and so do you!  i.e. you win here, we win there...  did I confuse you yet?

Katrina- what's the inside scoop on Mike Alstott?!?! Have not been paying enough pre-season attention and just heard that he hurt his neck and might call it a career???? He grew up about 10-15 miles from me and played at famed Joliet Catholic Academy (think RUDY)....it'd be a sad way for a great player to have to leave the game!

Yeah I guess the Docs put him on IR all year long. There has been talk for a long time about him Retiring.  I think that Mike was planning to Play THIS year and then retire at the end of the year, now that he is on IR and out for the year, he is contemplating retirement.  Not sure about his contract with the BUCS, but this is a SAD was to loose this guy, he is truly a CLASS ACT kinda guys, the fans love him.

I think He and John Lynch were 2 of the fan favorites.. I know i personally LOVE him and Lynch, however neither player is very young anymore... Alstott is like 33 (that's a veteran player in the NFL), and Lynch is even older!  I love the Broncos though so I think it was a good match for him to land there.  These guys have heart and they play with all their might and it shows! 

I don't have a clue who my next BUCS jersey purchase will be, Lynch is gone, I know mike is next.

Grueden has totally rearranged our team our players etc... Brooks is one of the only few standing that wore "orange" back in the day... Gosh I feel old!

Brooks is one of the league's most under-rated players....always talk about Urlacher and Ray Lewis---- but Brooks is and has been fantastic.....and a good fella to boot.
