Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

I am surprised there isn't more talk about how we look coming out of the bye week. It's a critical game, always. Good coaches and their team come out looking sharp and extremely well prepared after the bye week. Bad coaches and their team look disorganized after the bye, like nobody practiced.

Looking for Gruden and Co. to have a really strong showing this week, or I suspect he'd be on the hot seat. And if Gruden's butt is burning, shouldn't Allen's too?

Ahhh, interesting. Weirdly enough, didn't Ryan Kerrigan put up the same amount of bench reps as Orakpo? Definitely two different bodies types because Orakpo looks SHREDDED and Kerrigan just looks big.

Bye week or not, if we can't look good against the Bucs then we're in much worse shape than we thought

That's because it doesn't matter. We are 3-6 and looking ahead till the off-season. We are done for in terms of the playoffs this year so that's why there isn't any "talk" so to speak.

Good point. Never been too impressed with Lovie Smith but his Bucs reeeaaally suck.

Now watch McCown shred us for 30+ points lol, wonder if he'll cry happy tears

Well the Bucs did beat the Steelers this season...then again so did the Jets.

No excuse to lose to Tampa at home, after a bye. None

Oh there are plenty of excuses, and we will use every one of them.

.....What were your thoughts prior to the Dallas game?

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

We will stomp Tampa. Thus gaining confidence, we will win 6 out of 7 and contend for a wild card.

What i was thinking. It is a critical game as far as finding out about our prep during the bye, RG-3 , but as it pertains to the season...well seasons over.
