People here are already calling the Bucs out of the playoffs? Haha, still 1 more week left ladies and gentlemen...it wouldn't be the NFL if there wasn't any crazy shit that can happen.
Freeman is as good as any other QB in the league, like it or not. We've lost 3 starters on the offensive line, got a bunch of rookie recievers, the offensive scheme is barely establishing it self. Freeman's got raw talent, anyone that says otherwise is a complete and utter fool. When you have people like Bill Billicheck, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Dungy, Drew Brees, Joe Montana, Warren Sapp and Michael Strahan holding a 2nd year player to such a high regard, you'd only be making a fool of your self to criticize Freeman's ability.
Our defense, even with 7 starters out for the year still works decently with a bunch of UFAs and practice squad players.
Stats do not mean everything, the number in the win column does, and i bet none of you had the Bucs winning more than 3 games at the start of the season. You must feel pathetic looking at the standings now.
Also, i love how someone actually bothered to bring up the "easy schedule" bullshit, last time i checked, the saints has the 27th easiest schedule last season...What did they do? The won the fucking superbowl.
But hey, no problem, keep the bucs under the radar, because next year, shit is gonna break lose...The NFC south is the new monster of the NFL...better start getting ready for a beat down.
