the Madden curse rears its ugly head....

Heres hoping the game stays at 10-3. I got 500$ riding on the bucs winning, a 7 point spread and it doubles to 2grand.

* 17-0

Oh, so long ago.

This undefeated talk is way premature though. Upsets happen all the time, be it because one team comes out flat, suffers a big injury, divisional familiarity, former coaches/players being on the underdog, whatever. To cast a team as a virtual lock to run the table after 5 or 6 weeks of football (or worst, at the beginning of the season) just isn't paying attention to the game that popularized the phrase 'any given Sunday'. It doesn't merit any serious consideration until someone's won their first 12 or so games.

The reason why I think they will go undefeated, & win the bowl. Is because Belichick(Sp?) is a perfectionist, & he doesn't like to lose. The main reason why most teams go 13-0 then lose is because they start playing it safe. Resting guys for the playoffs. I could see Bill not doing that.

As Patent pointed out The Colts are really the only team that can stop them. Sadly the Pats are going to go into that game with a vengence after what happened in the playoffs last year, so the Colts better bring there A game.

Poor Ronde. Just can't catch a break.

 

[Byrd Man]

Poor Ronde. Just can't catch a break.

No. He's catching them. It's just staying in bounds and hold onto them that's his problem.

 

[Dark Donnie]

another AD TD!

 

[Johnny Blaze]

And the Bucs could've drafted him.

 

[Excel]

Omg @ AP!

 

[SouLeSS]

What happened with Alex Smith? I left during the challenge, and I came back to see him being carted off.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

MATT BRYANT IS MY HERO! t:

 

[dr venture]

Matt ****in Bryant>>>>>life

 

[Johnny Blaze]

No Miracle for the Music City today.

And I thought the Titans were going to stomp the Bucs' ass!?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I believe he ****ed his knee up. Looks bad.

 

[SouLeSS]

Ugh, cause all we need is another ****ing injury on our team.

 

[dr venture]

By the way........Adrian Peterson R.O.Y.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

It seems to be the theme for this season.

Though it is cool that, once again, the entire team came out to see him off. I don't think I've seen a team do that as Bucs have this season. That's cool ****.
I just hope I never see it again.

 

[SouLeSS]

Seems like a lot of players from a lot of teams are getting injured this year.

Titans will beat up on Tampa. Even with Crockett they won't be running anywhere consistently. Maybe a broken play here and there but Garcia will be roughed up bad and I wouldn't be shocked if Crockett gets knocked out of the game if not the season.

Titans have no injuries and they already had their worst possible game of the year against the Falcons. Their defense (barring any injuries) will be in the top 3 at the end fo the year for sure. Their offense has yet to shine. It might look tough in the 1st half but by the end of the 3rd quarter Titans will be firmly in control.

Like I said Titans had a bad game as they always do coming off a bye. Also they scored 20 pts. Last time I checked the defense was on the team. Young had a bad game too. Keep in mind they still won even with all of those turnovers. They didn't play like that in the prior 3 games.

"Beat up" is not nonsense and laugh all you want. I said very clearly it'll look tough for the 1st half but after the end of the 3rd quarter the Titans will be in control. Also the term "Beat up" doesn't only mean by score. They'll manhandle their offense and wear them out in the 2nd half and then pull away. Nobody has scored on the Titans in the 4th quarter yet and their a dominant running team. Plenty of Bucs will be limping off the field. Titans have no injuries.

Lastly, I can assure you Titans will score not only in the 1st half...but the 1st quarter in Tampa. Put this link in your sig.

I said they will wear them out and beat them up and players will be limping off the field for the Bucs. I never suggested dirty play or that the Titans would purposely injur anyone. Titans are just so much more powerful and dominant. If Haynesworth lands on you...you're done. And yes I hope the Titans physically pummel the bucs into submission through brute force and endurance.

Edit: Lastly in response to your other response...I am confident. The bucs are not in good shape right now and the Titans are 100% healthy. I figure the Titans just had their bad game and if they want that poor performance to be considered a fluke...they have to prove it. Could I be wrong? It's possible. Could the Bucs win? Of course. However I believe what I believe. I never said it would be a blow out, and I've never hoped for anyone to be severely injured. Bruised up & battered is fine though.

Bucs 13

Titans over Bucs
Titans 28

The Titans are going to be 4-1 after this Sundays game.

I give GR87 some credit: he did get the Bucs score right on the money.
