Bucs vs Dolphins (Florida bragging rights)

I know Buc' em does a poll on who thinks will win, but lets put the score predictions with our names next to it. That way we can rub it in eatch others faces who was right, or horribly wrong. (LOL)

Here is some interesting stuff from some articles off of yahoo sports on the two.

These Florida foes have split eight all-time meetings but the Bucs have won the last three dating to 1991.

The Dolphins (3-5) took Brown with the second overall pick in 2005, while Williams fell to the Buccaneers (1-7) three spots later. Williams won The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award, but has been hampered by injuries since then.

Though Henne hasn’t made many mistakes, Miami is next-to-last in the NFL in yards per completion at 9.8.

According to Williams, the Bucs experimented with the Wildcat formation, but scrapped the idea because Greg Olson replaced Jeff Jagodzinski.

The multitude of problems plaguing Tampa Bay’s 30th-ranked rushing defense, which gives up an average of 163 yards rushing per game, figures to be magnified Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

Miami’s defense, meanwhile, has had a tendency to give up big plays, ranking last in yards allowed per completion at 14.2, and may be without its top pass rusher. Linebacker Joey Porter.

Well, Joey Porter being out is actually a plus for the Phins

Porter has been completely ineffective this season, and hsi backup is C. Wake, who really ought to be starting. Wake’s a beast.

Yes I noticed a lesser 'reality field' around the Miami site..

The best part of Sundays game for me was waving GOODBYE to the Packerfans from the Pirate Ship when Tjack scored that last TD. Thats was priceless. They were so obnoxious all game.

Will the NY Jets please stop wearing those Titans uniforms. For a team that was only around for one year, Ive seen those uniforms 5 times already!

When I was browsing your guy’s picks you all picked the Bucs!!! Until last week, they were undoubtedly the worst team in football. And now they are tied for the worst team in football with 4 other teams. This is the first game the entire year that Miami is actually favored to win. And rightfully so. Perhaps a blowout is unrealistic, but I hardly expect this to be a particularly close game, if you know what I mean.

I found that pretty funny too that we all picked the Bucs to win,

But if you look at my record, I tend to pick the wild shots, which is why Im barely breathing over .500!
Still, if anyone wins this game by more than 8 points I will be surprised.

I guess we will see.

Also, your going by record.

I dont think anyone looks at this Bucs team and says its in worse shape than the Browns, or Rams, or Raiders. Those three teams have no direction. We are a very young team and we get to pick 3 of the best 50 college football players to add to our team next year.

A first and two seconds (at least one will be early)

Not trying to sound like a dick, but 32 picks in each round, so 3 of the top 50 isnt a stretch.

Thanks for explaining..

thats exactly what I meant.

We have our 1st and 2nd, which should be say 5th and 37, and Chicago’s 2nd. If Chicago goes 7-9 which is possible that would be around 14? so that would put their 2nd round pick at 46;
so in this scenario, we would have the 5th, 37th, and 46th picks. The Bears going 8-8 would probably raise that pick to 50 or 52.
