Another demoralizing week, but I’m sticking to my guns and not repeating any Quit Its. Which, now that I think of it, is kind of easier when your team finds new and wonderful ways to lose each week. Thanks, guys!
Hit It: Tanard Jackson. Interception for a touchdown! The Bucs need to score on defense to stay in the game, because…
Quit It: …lord knows the offense isn’t going to take care of business. Josh Johnson, you have made the most you can out of a terrible situation, but unfortunately you haven’t done enough. The Josh Freeman era is nigh.
Hit It: Sammiey Stroughter. Our seventh round pick scored the team’s third-ever kick return for touchdown and made some clutch 3rd down catches (ahem, Clayton, ahem). Stroughter only lasted until the seventh round of the draft because of his well-document history with depression, and he has become the hands-down feel good story of the Bucs season.
Quit It: Coaching. UGH. The Bucs do not have personnel for a 2-gap defense! I know this, and I don’t even fully understand what that means! How can the defensive coordinator Jim Bates not know?! And, I’m sorry, but when an opposing team marches 90 yards down the field completely un-stopped, and they are 5 yards from scoring, and the score is tied, and you have only 1:30 left on the game clock, you do NOT try to stop the running game on first and second downs, thereby running the game clock down to 20 seconds AND still allowing the inevitable score. You SO OBVIOUSLY pull a Terrell Davis, let the dude score, and take the remaining minute plus to tie things up. Is that not obvious?!?!
Hit It: I know they beat us, but I have to say, I still think it would be worse right now to be a Redskins fan.
Hit It: Oh yeah, and the Bucs won the first round of Suck Fest 2009! Word.
