The GOOD news, which should not take too long to write.

This is the second game of the season and we have 14 more games.

We have a bye week after Monday night. (At first I thought this is way too early in the year but we definitely need it to regroup.)

Injuries: We lost Mark Campbell, a tight end, for the Year and Deuce has a bruise on his eye. On the whole we are Healthy.

Our Division:

Tampa 1 and 1
Carolina 1 and 1
New Orleans 0 and 2
Atlanta 0 and 2

The BAD news.

I predicted this game would be won at the line of scrimmage. Well you would have to be blind if you did not see this. The problem was it was the BUCS linemen dominating the SAINTS linemen. This was on both sides of the ball.

Cornell (Cadillac) Williams did play and the Saints were able to contain him. It should be noted that the BUCS did not need a running game. The BUCS used the pass just like the COLTS and we could not stop them.

There was some obvious holding on Smith and Grant that the officials did not call but it happens to every lineman. Neither of them looked like they were up to their all Pro form.

I thought we would use some safety blitzes, we did – too late too little!

I had expected the Saints to throw deep and to Henderson. It is hard to throw to somebody on the bench. Devery Henderson dropped three balls and sat the bench for the rest of the game. If Henderson is back to his rookie form look for Terrance Copper and Lance Moore to fill in. This might be Henderson’s’ last season with the Saints if he does not improve fast. If he does not improve he might not make it till the end of the season.

Drew Brees is Gun shy and is rushing his passes. This happens when he keeps getting hit and the receivers drop passes. The team needs a win bad this week going into the bye week. Brees needs to regain his confidence in his linemen and receivers.

When I said “I know we will have a good following at the game and it should be over by the third quarter if not sooner so look for the black and gold in the stands since most of the Bucs fans will be leaving before the 2:00 mark in the fourth.” I did not think it would be the BUCS in control and their fans leaving since it was a blow out.

Last note: I am still worried about Orlindo Mare. He did miss another Field Goal and it did not matter since it was a blow out. Let’s hope he gets this straight before it is an important one that could win or lose a game.
