Buc 'Em contributer Stixx has pointed out in the past that we should attempt to put together some type of Buccaneers "Ring of Honor" ... the fellas from the Pewter Report have one upped Stixx and started a petition for Bucs Fans to electronically sign in order to get the Franchise to (A) - Put up a "Ring of Honor" around the stadium facing the field with Bucs Greats and their Retired Jersey numbers for all stadium guests to see -OR- (B) Have the Bucs install a "Bucs Hall of Fame" at Ray Jay or One Buc Place "where fans can view historic Bucs memorabilia, watch some of the team’s best highlights and see the Lombardi Trophy". The results of the petition are currently available at the Pewter Report. 81% of 1200+ voters are craving the "Bucs Ring of Honor" and I have to agree with them. It would be sweeet to see some Jersey Numbers and Names hanging around Raymond James Stadium. The Pewter Report plans to turnover the petition to the Buccaneers Franchise at seasons end in hopes of starting the fire to have our greats remembered

Be sure to fulfill your civic duty by going over to the Pewter Report and voting for whichever option you would like to see the Bucs implement... If this works, maybe they can get Warchant.com to do the same for Florida State Fans...

I know the Buccaneers have run this thing for the Mothers in the Tampa Area for some time now. It's nice to see the Fathers get a shout out!! Click here to Nominate Pops!!!

Where: Raymond James Stadium. Tampa, Florida.
Who: Bucs and Giants
When: 1:00PM Est Time on FOX

DOUBTFUL for the Bucs:
LB Cato June (foot)

QUESTIONABLE for the Bucs:
G Arron Sears (ankle)

--------------------------------------------------------------

DOUBTFUL for the Giants:
CB Sam Madison (stomach), C Shaun O'Hara (knee)

QUESTIONABLE for the Giants:
CB Kevin Dockery (hip), LB Kawika Mitchell (knee), DE Dave Tollefson (concussion)

PROBABLE for the Giants:
RB Ahmad Bradshaw (calf), WR Plaxico Burress (ankle), TE Michael Matthews (illness), WR Sinorice Moss (back)

This is IT, the Playoffs are officially a Reality for our Bucs...

We are definitely going to miss LB Cato June, but I feel Ryan Nece will do a fine job filling in and to be honest I think we didn't use Cato June correctly this season.

Greg White (8 sacks), Gaines Adams (6 sacks), Jovan Haye (6 sacks), Kevin Carter (3 sacks), Greg Spires (2 sacks), Chris Hovan (1 sack), and Patrick Chukwurah (1 sack) MUST pressure QB Eli Manning in order for our Defense to do what it does = Create Turnovers

Giants RB Brandon Jacobs has over a 1,000 yards rushing this season, so LB's Derrick Brooks, Barrett Ruud, and Ryan Nece will have their hands full. Game Guarentee: S Jermaine Phillips knocks Jacobs off his feet and out of the game for a series

Our young Offensive Line will have its hands full against the Giants Defensive Linemen in Osi Umenyiora (13 sacks), Justin Tuck (10 sacks), Michael Strahan (9 sacks), and Fred Robbins (5.5 sacks).

Chris Berman, The Swami, from ESPN's NFL Sunday Countdown Crew picked the Bucs to beat the Giants 23-19... Time will tell

Be sure to checkout Big Blue View, our New York Giants Blog, for Giants Fan perspectives and Ed does a excellent job over there.

Sunday's Playoff Match-up between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants will be a very Physical Match-up. Look for the Giants to lead and control the game the whole way, UNTIL Bucs QB Jeff Garcia begins his team's final drive. Several passes down field to Joey Galloway/Ike Hilliard and the Bucs find themselves in the Red Zone. Garcia looks to the left, rolls out of the pocket to the right and finds TE Anthony Becht in the back of the End Zone all alone.

BUCS WIN, THE BUCSSSS WIN!!!!
