**OFFICIAL BUCS/PATS, playoff dreams over thread**

[PressCoverage]

14-0, and Cadillac is going no where...

looks like the rumours of the Pats' death were greatly exaggerated... but, of course, they're just "lucky"... i'm no patriots fan, but i do respect and admire them a lot more than any other non-dolphins team...and a lot more than most people on here seem to...

if we just could have held that lead against them a few weeks back, this all would be much more interesting... ah well, it was a good run... and this season was/is a step in the right direction....

Simms fumble, New England recovers at 15.

The D needs to come up big here, and they dont. 8 yd pass to Branch. Faulk, FIRST DOWN! TOUCHDOOOWWWNNN!!!! Flag - Against Bucs, goodbye season.

 

[Jnaledu3]

Well, there is still a snowballs chance in hell of a wildcard berth. Unrealistic as our chances might be, youre still gonna hear a lot of people on here talking about wildcard scenarios.

 

[Agua]

Well, playoffs are a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg shot. Have been since the loss v. NE, but there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.

Touchdown New England, 21-0 :shakeno:

Bucs gettin taken behind the woodshed... going into this season, i didn't see them better than a 9-7 team... their O-Line is/was just horrible... good coaching and good matchups helped early, but they get exposed badly against a good D-line...

 

[unifiedtheory]

I've been looking at the wild card to be honest for a week or two.

Even if the Pat's had lost today to a tired Buc team there was no way inb hell they lose to the Jets.

On a side note....the Pats are healthy...I'm picking them right now to be in the AFC Championship game in Indy.

 

[painnotpleasure]

21-0 NE... Does anyone know why Brian Kelly is not starting or even playing for that matter? I've seen Bolden picked on time after time and I know Givens got that big play on him in the beginning, and I bet he just got that TD on Bolden too... Things are not looking for us.

 

[Fins05:NewHope]

there was never playoff hopes....when your "mathmatically" still in the hunt.....plan for next year.

 

[paskerbrandon]

Looks like ill be cheering on the Giants at 4'oclock. Dam Bucs, dam dam Bucs.

 

[sharp]

we can't win the big games, and other teams seem to never help us out.

 

[R_t_Kraken]

Awe Buccs, you let us down. Damn you to hell.

 

[paskerbrandon]

Mabey this is better. Cmon guys we all know what would really happen if the Bucs would beat the Pats today and the Jets upset them next week. We would stand little chance. They wouldd probably win on a Vinetari (sp? dont really care) FG.
