The weather should neutralize the Saints' passing game to some degree
advantage Bucs. Reggie Bush looks like he’s never seen rain before.

I got a good one for this week...
…somewhere a Saints fan is watching this game with his Dalton Hilliard jersey on.

This could be one of those games...
…where the team that gets in the end zone first wins.

I'm a big fan of Ruud...
…but I feel like he’s not where he could be in coverage yet. Part of it is the design of the defense, but when receivers are in front of them, I feel like he gives them too much of a cushion.

I am.... and I'm not
Being a UT grad, this is huge, I mean HUGE. He’s gonna pick up where Chavis left off and do a great job. Unfortunately, it’s gonna be a big pair of shoes to fill for the Bucs.

Both offenses look disjointed today.
Saints aren’t taking shots deep and Bucs can’t connect on mid-range passes.

In weather like this...
…you just need one broken run. If Dunn or Williams can break one it could be it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Dunn since I have him in a fantasy league, but I’m sporting my Williams jersey.

Bush looked slow, at least by his standards,
on that catch and run for 5 yards. Wonder if he’s not going 100%.

Garcia's really been holding the ball too long today
He needs to take off or release the throw earlier.

End of 3 qtrs
Bucs looking solid, up 10. Looks like the Saints have ditched Reggie Bush for Pierre Thomas and his straight-up-the-middle running attack, along with a down-the-field passing game to Moore and Colston. Here we go….

I don't even think they know that.
They seem all over the place trying to stick with one person.

Yep, time to ice this one.
I’m still miffed why Reggie Bush is sidelined on offense. He’s returning punts still.

I love Clifton Smith as a person.
He immediately went over there and told Bidwell to shake it off. He seems to do things like that a lot. He seems like a little kid when big plays happen and just loves being out there.

Okay...
…enormous 3rd down coming up.

Great catch.
He didn’t turn his head right before the ball got there like he used to.

That seems to happen all the time...
…they talk about a guy and inevitably he messes up on the next play.

I don't know about that one.
That’s taking a big chance on 3rd and 6.

Welcome back Jermaine.
I like Sabby, but that’s the difference between him and Phillips. Jermaine looks for the ball and the big hit. Sabby will learn that, but that’s what makes Phillips more valuable at this point.

Not a fan of the clock management here.
I would’ve run on 2nd down.

Well we got the lead at least.
But I’m not liking the time left.

The Saints offense is just too good to leave this much time left.

Watch out Panthers
If we keep the high scoring Saints to 20, i think we can hold our own against the Panthers next week.
