First, and most important (at least here) SHIT. The Buc's lost again. 13/16 to the Denver Broncos. Lynch had a killer tackle against Michael Pittman that just silenced the stadium. We're so used to cheering for those types of things, no one knew what to do when it was against us. The game was closer than I expected, and for a minute there I thought we might just actually win. And I cheered and coached down to the last minute, never say Die. But alas - it was not to be. I don't know what it's going to take to spark this team. Well, yes, I do have some ideas. An energized QB, an offensive line that actually holds - and a defense that has a heart transplant. The changes over the past year has just sucked the life out of this team. The individual players are not bad - we just need something to bring it all together. We need a heart, and I fear that in the process of pulling what ever plan he has in his head together, Allen has shredded that heart to pieces.
How 'bout those Giants!! WooHoo, treated those cheeseheads like last night's snackfood. The Giants had a rough year last year, and with the change in coaching started out a bit rough in training. But Tiki Barber's TD was very pretty. Very very pretty.
And I saw the Steelers won too! Wow, that's gonna make some of my friends very happy. And Vick is looking a bit more like himself, now if he can just stop fumbling.
BTW - I'm getting my a$$ handed to me in Fantasy this year. This week is not looking good at all, the damn injuries are killing me. Last year was bad for my team, but great for the Fantasy. This year, I'm not doin' so well either way. I'm going to have to pay a bit more attention from now on.
Posted by Tammi at October 4, 2004 07:24 AMBe gentle, please. My QB has a concussion.
And even though he couldn't remember his own name, he still threw one sweet TD :-)
If this turns out to be anything serious, I can't picture the Packers in the playoffs this year.

Posted by: Boudicca at October 4, 2004 09:22 AMWhat, no expert analysis of the Rams!!
Posted by: Mark at October 4, 2004 09:25 AMOk, time for you to head over, pick up Bou and family and let's have an old fashion Football party. College football is my favorite, but I watch any ol' game the Old Man watches. He watches both because he plays fantasy football with the pros and graduated from Auburn (hence the college football). I'll make the fixn's (though I think I'll leave out the fried gizzards). Just let me know when!
Posted by: vw bug at October 4, 2004 11:45 AMMan after the treatment the Bucs have had over the last season and half, you pick on the Packers... That's just mean.
Posted by: contagion at October 4, 2004 06:54 PMoooo!! VW, College ball with Tammilicious! I'm all over that one!
Posted by: Boudicca at October 4, 2004 08:09 PMWatch it You Two! I can be down there in two shakes of a lambs tail!! :)
It would be fun. College ball (being on Saturdays) is tough for me. I work mornings. But Pro ball is a whole 'nother matter!
Posted by: Tammi at October 4, 2004 08:15 PMTwo losses in a row, fantasy wise. I feel your pain. (snicker)
Don't worry, Tammi-girl, you're probably going to kick my ass next time around! :)
Posted by: That 1 Guy at October 5, 2004 02:07 AMLike I said T1G I've got to start paying more attention. I have no idea how to dig myself out of the fantasy hole I'm in, but I will. Somehow - man what killed me this week was McNair, he didn't do squat. And those damn byes. Ouch. Not to mention the injuries. Yikes.
Yeah, when I get back later this week I'll be doing some serious analysis. Hell, my football honor is at stake. ;)
Posted by: Tammi at October 5, 2004 06:47 AMYeah, they didn't announce until just a little before noon that Volek was going to start in place of McNair. I was going to try to pick up Volek in my other league, but that was too late!
It was nice to see that the "guys" both managed to win!
