Like I said before, defense beats offense like pitching beats hitting. Way to go Bucs :)

"The Bucs will win.

You guys are forgetting about the most important guy in the game. John Gruden. The way he calls games is masterful to say the least. Just look what he did to Philly! He knew his WRs were overmatched with that great Philly secondary, but he cleverly used his assets to create mismatches! Come on, using tight ends to get Keyshawn one on one with a linebacker???

The bucs defense is much better than you guys give them credit for. Why are you Raider fans telling us that you will win because we have average DBs??? Duh we have average DBs, it's the cover pattern they use that make them great. If it were one on one all the way across the board, yes, Tampa's Secondary would get smoked. But that's the beauty of the cover 2 defense. They dont ahve to cover the Raider Wrs one on one. The DB's job is to funnel the WRs to the middle of the field where Tampa's linebackers can take away the big plays, this is the beauty of Tampa Bay, they dont give up the big ones because they use every single one of thier assets. And you guys talk about the Raider's offensive line like they are perfect.. Umm... no. Do u guys really think that the lumbering O-Line of Oakland can contain the lightning quick D-Line of Tampa? I believe that Oakland's O-Line will contain Sapp and the other Dts very well. But I just dont see Barry Sims (Left tackle) standing a chance against Simeon Rice. Rice is two fast and Sims is reported to be a technique blocker. Rice's outside speed is nto going to let Sims use his techniques. And what about the famous 9 men in the box blitz Tampa brings with Brooks and Lynch both blitzing? How will Gannon react? Will he force a throw? Probably not. Will he scramble? He wont get much against Tampa's quick defense. But he'll have to deviate from his original play. That may not seem like a big deal, but it goes with disrupting Gannon's rythm in the game and taking away the big plays. What about he devasting corner blitz from Barber? I jsut want you Raider fans to remember it's not going to be a 5 or 6 on 4 up front. The Oakland O-Line wont dominate and Gannon wont have eternity to throw, Tampa just wont let that happen. "

Did I hit it on the head or what?

No it wasn't. The Bucs humiliated the Raiders... more so than those Assclown Raider fans who paint their faces.

Rice was pushed out why would the clock not stop?

I have no idea :confused:

Forward progression was stopped previous to going out of bounds. The play ends when forward progression stops. Note that Rice was forced backwards and out of bounds on the play.

You must have been watching another game than I was. Rice was hit from the side and pushed out of bounds. Either way it doesn't matter because I am not a Raider's fan and the officiating didn't cost anyone a game. I just wish there would have been a decent team in the Super Bowl to begin with.

Sounds like you do a lot things on the Head. You are so insightful that they should have you on every week making predictions on ESPN.
