One HUGE disagreement that I have is them over The San Diego Chargers.

They have LT, not a horrible QB.


Another disagreement I have is them winning over the Broncos.

They have excellent WR's, and not too bad RB's or QB's.


Here is how I see the Charger vs Bucs game.

The Chargers no doubt have a great team. But one of the things I see in that game is, The chargers will most likely have a playoff spot locked up, and wont be contending for home field advantage.

The Bucs on the other hand will be fighting to get that top homefield spot. So I see this game meaning a lot to the Bucs to gain that extra edge in the playoffs.

Not to mention the struggling Charger offense will have to face one of the most prominent defenses in the league. And the weak charger secondary wont be able to contend with the decent Buc WR's.

Now I see the Bucs winning in Denver for a couple of reasons.

When the Bucs go to Denver it will not be cold yet, so the weather advantage is out.

The Broncos will also have to deal with losing Walker, and a troubled defense. I think the dominant Buc defense can hold in check the weak Denver offense because Cutler missing his main target and not having a solid running game will cause them to have a non-existent offense.

Plus the Buc offense lead by a tandum of 3 RB's should be able to run all over a very weak Denver running defense.


Just because the Chargers will have locked up a play-off spot, doesn't mean they aren't going to be trying hard to win. As much as I don't want to say it, the Bucs offense is kind of old. Joey Galloway is old. Jeff Garcia is old too.Mike Alstott just retired. They are going to have a hard time beating the Chargers and Broncos.


Galloway may be old, but he is still one of the fastest WR's in the game. I think he showed last year he is very compitent, and still a great WR.

I have no problem with their QB situation either. They will have 3 or 4 QB's I would trust in a game. And they may draft Flacco or Brohm, who both will be great pro players.

They have one of the best defenses, a useable offense, and a good coaching staff.

And so far you have provided no arguments as to why they wont beat Denver and San Diego, you have only said they are old...

ooh....nice, Sully. Good Luck

April 20, 2008  10:36 PM ET

My guess is that they lose to the LIONS

April 20, 2008  10:36 PM ET

Sorry had to do one on my Bucs

April 20, 2008  10:36 PM ET

How dare you? lol

April 20, 2008  10:36 PM ET

I just took this to say a few things. I started the 'Predict the Schedule Tourney' and I would really prefer it if you didn't try to do the same and copy my idea for throwdowns. I take a lot of pride in starting interesting ones, and I don't like it when people do the exact same thing without asking. At least call it by a different name. Sorry, I was just a little surprised so see somebody else running my Tournament.

April 20, 2008  10:43 PM ET

Hey sorry. It ws just a good idea on your part. Can I still do it, just call it different?

April 20, 2008  10:49 PM ET

I guess I really can't stop you. I would really appreciate it if you called it by a different name though..

April 20, 2008  11:03 PM ET

I'd also appreciate it if you didn't go through all the NFL teams too. I don't mind you doing a few schedules you find interesting, but if we're both doing the full teams, people will just look at what worked in one throwdown and use it in another.

April 20, 2008  11:59 PM ET

idk 11- 5 and 10-6 i see 8 games they can lose

April 21, 2008  12:10 AM ET

11-5 is really, really pushing it. I'm seeing 10-6 with a good draft.

April 21, 2008  01:06 AM ET

The bucs wont win 8 games. Quote Booty Face.

April 21, 2008  01:50 AM ET

Tampa bay players up in Chicago...too cold for them to play there...ill give them a L for that game

Nicely done, Sully.

April 21, 2008  11:50 AM ET

ok so I guess we'll vote on this after........JAN 2009.

See you than...

April 21, 2008  12:37 PM ET

LOL, you both have them losing to the Aaron Rogers led Pack. That's funny.

And Booty Face is just dumb.

And Sully, he's just stupid. Anyone can start any throwdown on any topic they want. Get over yourself. "MY Tournament". That just cracks me up.

April 21, 2008  12:39 PM ET

And Steve-0, it isn't cold in Chicago when they play them. And that cold weather jinx ended 5 years ago. Jeez, read a paper sometime.

Well I didn't see anybody else doing anything like that before I did. And he completely copied my entire format. Even the upset special. If he would have asked me if he could do it, I would have had no problem with it. But when he went ahead and copied everything about it, even the title, I thought I'd just tell him how I feel about that.

So maybe before you go around calling people stupid, you could just shut your mouth. Thanks.

April 21, 2008  01:00 PM ET

Dude, calm down! I told you I was sorry.

April 21, 2008  01:03 PM ET

I know, I'm not mad at you, I just didn't appreciate ModeratorLiedAboutMe calling me stupid.

We're all good Buc4Life.

The Bucs will finish 9-7 once again in 2008
