PowerRankings meter still has the Bucs at the near bottom, and despite playing a more competitive game, continue to sink in the minds of the NFLs writers.
CBS Pete Prisco - #27 - Bucs can forget about the playoffs. Really Pete? Thanks, I was starting to print tickets.
Fox's Adrian Hasenmayer- #31- The only feel good story is Cadillac Williams. Yo Adrian, we feel good kickin Nugent to the curb!
ESPN- #31- Only the Chief's are converting third downs less frequently.
SI- Don Banks- #31- Leftwich sits and Josh Johnson gets his turn. Raheem says we're married to Josh Freeman. Sounds like Jon Gruden era never really ended!
Buccaneers.com has a great interview and awesome clips of Gene Deckerhoff, voice of the Bucs Radio! MUST CHECK THIS OUT Buc fans!
More BucShots after the jump!
Paul Stewart of Bucpower.com remembers other 0-4 starts by the Buccaneers. 8 in all including two others this decade.
Bucs Center Jeff Faine is not quite ready to return just yet reports St. Pete Times' Stephen Holder.
Jeff Faine not ready to return
Michael Clayton wants to be more involved in the offense. Seems to me if you catch the ball, that involves you. I'll let you guys touch on this one in the comments.....
Associated Press reports Donovan McNabb is ready to start vs Bucs. Vegas is trying to set the odds on if it matters.
Pewter Reports Charlie Campbell and Jim Flynn discuss Tanard Jackson's return to the Bucs after a 4 game suspension.
PR's article on Tanard Jackson returning
And Finally, where do the Bucs rank vs the rest of the NFL in general stats?
Bucs Offense #27
Bucs Defense #31
Last time both units were down at the bottom together?
1995, the year before Dungy took over, with rookies Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks starting along with Brad Culperpper, John Lynch, and Hardy Nickerson. #27 on Offense and #27 on Defense, out of 30 teams. Rusty Tillman was the defensive coordinator.
More Bucshots Saturday!!

I've done my best to defend Clayton and support him in a public forum
and while confidence is one thing, calling for more opportunities when you’ve played the way he has recently is just stupid. You get opportunities by making plays. When you play volleyball with every pass, your opportunities get limited.
He looks like Brandon Marshall when Marshall was being a douche in practice.

I couldn't agree with you more. You know the videos I did in offseason about him, and I wanted to take his side.
About the only positive thing I can say is this seems to be a pattern. Whenever he is a vital part of the offense, he produces. When he gets thrown the ball to one time a game, hes not the same as like Dallas game. But how do you blame a coach or QB for passing him up?
JJ vs Skins prediction- 17/29 243 1 TD 1 INT 9 Carries 72 yards 1 TD

I completely agree
The problem the offense is having is:
AB…..K2….Cadillac….Clayton….Stevens…..Ward….Graham….and Morris’ favorite Peanut
If the offense only runs 50 plays a game, who do you give the ball to?
You want Caddy to touch the ball 20-25 times a game, then what?
AB want 10 his way….K2 wants 10 his way….Clayton wants 10 his way….
I think Olsen and Morris haven’t figured it out yet or can’t.
