....anyone know why he got so few carries today? I am at work and unable to watch the game, but have to say I am curious why the Bucs chose to throw so much today, and it's the reason they lost.

THREE picks by Griese, where will Stalin be to say he's the answer?

I am sorely disappointed in the game planning...was watching the gamecast on NFL.com, and saw the Bucs with a third and six with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Griese throws an incomplete pass, which saved the Lions from using a timeout.

Horrible play calling if you ask me.

    Maybe the fact that he was getting about 2 yards per carry had something to do with it?

    Glad to see Grudens hired refs are stll out there saving games for him!

    I hope that someday the nfl will get the reffing thing right, that ending was a joke, as were a few other phantom calls on the Lions...
    Am I speaking Chinese?

    He has a sore hamstring, which slowed him down all game, and left the game in the 3rd quarter with a sprained foot.

    Detroits been making it clear all week that they were focusing on stopping him, and going to make the rest of the offense beat us. Hell, I'm happy, it was a lot closer than I woulda thought. And the interception called back at the end of the half because of the bs holding helped it from being even closer.

    20 carries by RBs for Tampa, less then 60 yds.

    Lions have the 6th best defense I hear.

    Griese throws for 300 yds., 3 ints. and one lost fumble.

    God help the Bucs if the Caddy blows a tire.

    Reminds me of the Eagles years ago with Charlie Garner. They ran him ragged until he tore a knee. Basically ruined a promising career.
    They pretty much did the same thing with Duce Staley then wouldn't pay him.

    My bad, I was relying on a (what appeared to be) a delayed update...I didn't get that the TD was called back, and it showed 19-13 with 13 seconds left, and assumed they had lost.

    Griese, yes, threw for 300 yards but as mentioned, had 3 picks an a fumble...bad day in my book.

    A win is a win, yes, but barely winning against teams that they should be dominating against (vikes when they were awful, Pack, lions) is a big cause of concern for this Bucs fan.

    Talk radio ain't gonna be good in Detroit tomorrow.

    Harrington gets killed as it is. Today he couldn't get the ball to their big three receivers and in crunch time, 4th qtr, all his passes were out of the end zone.

    Harrington has now shown himself to not be a NFL quarterback. Not that there is any shame in that - it's a nearly impossible thing to do.

    I can't help but wonder why Detroit, when learning that Garcia had a broken leg, didn't pick up a veteran backup.

    Harrington will be gone by the end of the year...
