It is really disappointing not being able to dominate a team like the Bucs. We were able to stay close to all the top 5 teams in the NFL but we barely pull it out against the Bucs.

Dont get me wrong: I am happy with the win, but I would like to think we have more talent than we do. I was thinking that we had a couple of holes to fill in the off season but it seems like we have more and more as the season progresses. I was hoping that our D-line and our outside linbackers would do a better job with the pass.

I think we will become a team that will be able to get deep into the playoffs but I don't think it will be this year.

How long can a person say a team is rebuilding? I don't know
 
Tampa Bay has been terrible this year but remember they just beat Green Bay last week. Tampa may just be getting it together. It happens. Unfortunately it looks like the Panthers are getting it together too.

No, because if you see the team for what it really is and not drink the kool aid you will see that we have glaring holes at key position. Therefore we will not really dominate anyone until we get versatile linebackers, more experience for Smith and Davis as well as get a true FS or let clemons emerge.

Oh and there is that wideout debacle. Do something about those KEY position and yeah we will dominate people. Step back and rationally look at the state of the franchise, 2 years removed from a near winless season and you can appreciate how far we have come in such a short period of time.
 
I agree. Feels like last year. Lose to good teams, barely get by bad teams.
 
Have you compared rosters have you seen what Miami runs out there and calls an offense. Why would you think this team is capable of dominating anyone. Be happy they won. There won't be many more this season
 
Ehhh, we aren't all that guys. Please realize that. We have tons of potential though, and will continue to grow. I like our coaching and management staff and most of the players are only getting better with a few exceptions. I think next year we are going to be on another level, and in 2 years be in position to dominate.

I would have felt the same way as you, but today there seems to be a treand for the underdog teams playing very scrappy. You say Miami should've dominated, but I don't know if you looked at the score board, but check this out. Caronlina beat Atlanta, yeah they are better than tampa, but I wouldn't say much better. Or how about the Titans who have sucked, they steam rolled over the Bills. Yes the Bills aren't much, but the fact of the titans steam rolling them still says something. Jacksonville beat the Jets today, oh yeah how about the awful Redskins beating the Broncos?

Or how about The Saints squeeking one out agains the crappy Rams? Like I said, teams that have sucked earlier in the year, like we've seen before, do get better and it looks like some teams are picking it up like the panthers and titans, but also the Bucs could be that team too, who doesn't make the playoffs or out of it, but pick it up in the end of the season and be a spoiler team or a tougher team to beat. After this is the NFL, and it wasn't miami, but under dog teams came to play today apparently in the nfl as its seen on the scoreboard. This is still the NFL so a win is always good and you can't always expect domination, but I just hope for improvment.
 
We haven't been a dominating team since 84'.
I'll take getting back to a winning,making playoffs,winning a playoff game once
in awhile team.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
Really sad that we have to line up Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams and pretend they are quality backs.:confused:
