After a close loss at Carolina last week while watching a Patriots team man handle the Titans, some Bucs fans are still optimistic.  How do I know?  Check out the poll results.

Hard to believe that 28% think we will get our first win in London against the Patriots after seeing the last 6 games unfold.

The NFL Trade deadline is much different than other sports.  There is usually very little action and it's due to a few circumstances.  The timing of the deadline, where typically speaking, teams still have over half their season and very few teams are eliminated from playoff contention (save this year). 

We've already seen Gaines Adams get the boot, are there any other players in the NFL about to switch addresses?  The deadline is 4 PM EST today.

Feel free to discuss some reasonable trade scenarios in the comments section.

64% think the Bucs will see win number one under Raheem Morris come this week.  I count myself as one of those people (though I didn't vote).  I think the Bucs have a decent chance this week with Faine coming back and a team that has played to similar standards thus far.

We're about to hit the quarterpole of the regular season, and it's not pretty.  We know the Bucs had a late four game slide last year, and couple with the first three games this year, we haven't seen a real win in our last seven regular season games.  Ugh.  This week, the Bucs go on their second road trip of the year to the nation's capital to face off against the Washington Redskins.  The Redskins are coming off an embarrassing defeat that saw them hand the Lions their first win in 19 games.  Can they hand us our first win in 7 games?  Let's take a look inside at some of the key points.
