The Buccaneers

The Bucs drop another one, 31-14.  Gezzz.  About the only positive I can see from this game was that Gradkowski and Galloway finally hooked up, not once but twice.

Gradkowski hit Galloway in stride, leading him with the ball on the first connection, and then in the endzone throwing to where ONLY Galloway could catch it between two Saints defenders.  Gradkowski finished the game with a QR of 96.8, 185 yds, no INTs.

One very classy move by the Saints was not running up the score.  With the ball on the Bucs seven and less then two minutes to play, the Saints took four knees, leaving 30 seconds on the clock. The could have punched it in, or at least kicked a FG, but they didn’t.  The Bucs tried to run the ball during the remaining seconds, getting out to around the 15 as time expired. 

Truthfully I think the thing to do would have been to take a knee.
