So week 3 has passed in the NFL and how is my favorite team (the Buccaneers) doing? I think they are boding well with a 2-1 record. However, they still show struggle offensively resulting in a low-scoring win. They haven't yet exposed most of their offense as a legitimate threat with the exception of RB LeGarrette Blount's powerhouse running. Josh Freeman's interception at the end zone was reckless as it could've been an easy TD. Perhaps the score would've ended up slightly higher had a Bucs' WR got it instead. Freeman redeemed himself going at the end zone himself for a TD on a later play. And to celebrate that, he did his 'dirty bird' dance. Very uncharacteristic of the humble QB, but I'm sure he was really getting sike'd up!!!! LOL. On the defensive side of things - oh yes - they are for REAL! Big improvement from last week as they really stuffed it to their rival (Atlanta Falcons) especially on QB Matt Ryan who was taking most of the brunt. Here's hoping the Bucs continue to work on their weaknesses and forge on ahead with more victories. I'll give my take on things in about 2-3 weeks from now.
Bucs' Performance Grade: B-
Pros: Defense is getting better
Cons: Get more the O-Line involved more on the offense; can't always rely on Blount most of the time
