Tampa Sucks... They will be lucky to even make the playoffs at this rate.

Oh ye of little faith, just you watch...

I have been... they couldn't hold a lead against Indy... and chocked big time. And then lost to an average at best SF team. Faith has nothing to do with this... just the facts. They suck

They could be worse.

They could be the Lions.

Ming speaks the truth. That was the game down here, and Tampa looked HORRID! San Fran, a pretty average team, was able to show how to deal with that team. Put pressure on Brad Johnson (that line isn't that great) by blitzing and the offense won't get on track. And on the defense? Run downhill and when pass deep on the one-on-ones.

It could have been MUCH worse if Owens didn't keep dropping balls (including one in the endzone).

I wouldn't be suprised at all if Parcells' Boys dropped Tampa.

Oh, and the Falcons are REALLY, REALLY bad. They may be even worse than the Bears... ok, maybe not that bad

. But they'll compete with them for the #1 pick in the draft.

Don't look now, but St. Louis is coming back... with Bulger and Arlen Harris? Huh? They plug in anyone and they still win. Looking good down there.

Holcomb shows once again, that he is MUCH better as an off-the-bench QB than as a starter.

Does ANYONE in Philly or New York (Giants) want to catch Dallas? Speaking of which, how many deals with the Devil has Parcells made?

Minnesota is 6-0? Sign Mike Tice up to a long deal... he has Moss being a team player

. Oh, and the Broncs need Plummer back, pronto! Beuerlein got hurt and Danny Kanell is leading the team now (don't laugh, he played better than Beuerlein).

Tennessee is showing themselves to be the most underrated team in the league. They totally took apart Carolina behind that suffocating defense.

Buffalo must be the most schizo team in the league. You never know which one will show up from week to week.

Oh, and BTW... just saw the replay of the Eagle punt return to win the game and those officials BETTER BE FINED this week because they missed a blatant block in the back that sprang him loose... they get the call right and the Giants win...

Just like the illegal block they missed on Dante Hall's return against the Broncos, and the holding call they missed on the spectacular Moss play at the end of the half, today?

Missed calls always happen. No use crying over spilled milk.

**Imran Siddiqui** · October 20, 2003, 00:06

Exactly, badams. Whining over the officials should be fined over a block in the back when the same thing cost Denver a win a few weeks back is utterly silly. Until you got electronic referees, missed calls are part of the game.

**Ben Kenobi** · October 20, 2003, 05:01

Whooo!

Chargers win!

They only get those right when it's a Bear blocking...

Seriously, I've seen quite a few missed calls on big returns this year.

**Ming** · October 20, 2003, 09:23

I guess like most people, I only see calls missed that hurt my team

But I will say that the officiating this year seems worse than usual. I would like to see more consistant calls. I don't mind if the officials are going to call it tight, as long as they do it for both teams.

*sigh*

Or the Redskins

I"m giving up on football, i'll just watch baseball now. Oh wait thats right, the Tigers lost 139 games this year, DC doesn't have a team, and the Yankees are in the World Series again. *sigh*......

Joey Harrington's QB rating in yesterday's game:
7.1

BTW, I think Steve McNair is the early candidate for MVP. Having a stellar season this year, and it was great to watch a real team at the pub while the lions were getting spanked.

Naturally, it was Peyton's week off.

Naturally, I picked Harrington to start instead of Boller.

Good god, Harrington, you're useless!

And so is Joey Galloway, who did jack squat in the game despite the blowout.

Yes, McNair has been red hot so far this season, but there are a number of other players having a tremendous season so far as well: Peyton Manning, Stephen Davis, Ahman Green, Daunte Culpepper, Randy Moss...

Bill Belichick is doing an absolutely awesome job so far as well with (my favorite team) the Patriots.

Davis had an off game yesterday
