Impressive

Now that the Bucs are starting to garnish some attention, the hard part cometh. The Tampa team that even the local media had dubbed a bust is now 7-3 and just put a shellacking on the San Fransisco 49ers this past Sunday, beating the team 21-0 in their own home park. No one said the 49ers were the greatest team ever, but t beat a team in their home turf and not allow them to score anything is a wonderful statement. Now Tampa goes to Baltimore to play the Ravens.

Baltimore has been known for years to be a team with a fast, angry, and aggressive defense, but this year that D looks old. The once vaunted Ravens defense, led by Ray Lewis is allowing teams to run and pass all over them. They do have a 7-3 record as well and this will be yet another game that Tampa will have to prove that their record is not a fluke.

Win or lose however, the Bucs are playing like a veteran team, but they are still one of the youngest teams in the league.

Ronde Barber is one of the older Bucs on the roster. Just this week Canton (the Hall of Fame Canton) called Barber and asked for his shoes and gloves because after intercepting one of Troy Smith's passes, Barber became the only player in NFL history to record 40 interceptions and 25 career sacks. Barber has played his entire career for the Bucs, and plans to retire a Buccaneer.

So...I'm still perfect on the season. 5-5 now. I predicted that Baltimore would beat the Bucs, but who cares. I hope they win to spite me picking against them. If they win, I won't be 100% anymore, but do you really think I will care all that much? The road to ten wins is almost within reach guys. Keep it up!
