The Washington Redskins brought the number one scoring offense in the NFL to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ number one ranked rushing defense, so something had to give in a battle of 1-2 teams. The Redskins dominated the first half, and the Buccaneers controlled the second half, but a Billy Cundiff field goal as time expired gave the Redskins a 24-22 victory.
The first carry by Robert Griffin III resulted in a fumble, but as was the overall theme of the first half the ‘Skins Pierre Garcon recovered the fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. The first half was highlighted by missed tackles by the Buccaneers defenders and Griffin being able to do whatever he wanted to with the ball.

Bucs Offense Betrays Defense in Loss to Dallas
By Curtis Roberts
Outside the Redzone
The Dallas Cowboys have completely dominated in recent meetings against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and although the outcome was similar the Buccaneers put up much more of a fight this go around. The host Cowboys won 16-10 in a game that was controlled by both defenses. Quarterback Josh Freeman and the Bucs never found a rhythm on offense and although the defense played good enough to win the Cowboys walked away with the victory.
Tony Romo had never thrown an interception against Tampa Bay and was 4-0 against the Bucs in his career, throwing 11 touchdowns. The momentum swung early in Tampa Bay’s favor when Aqib Talib picked off Romo to set up an early Bucs scoring drive capped off with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Freeman to tight end Luke Stocker. However, that would be the only score for the Bucs until the last minute of the game.

New Bucs Regime Dazzles in Debut
By Curtis Robers
Outside the Redzone
Being a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan last season was no source of pride. The Super Bowl blowout of 2003 against Oakland seems like eons ago, and the Chucky era did nothing towards the development of talent. Raheem Morris was too ‘friendly’ with players and followed a 10-6 season (no playoff though) with a dismal 2011 campaign going 4-12 and losing 10 straight games. Coach Rah was fired after everyone in the entire Bay area realized that the team had quit on him and the fans therefore quit as well. Blackouts plagued the team week after week and a change in attitude was sorely needed.
Everything changed the day Greg Schiano was hired to helm the sinking Buccaneers’ ship. The Buccaneers’ new regime debuted at home against the Carolina Panthers on September 9th and fans in attendance couldn’t help but reminisce of the Buccaneer defenses of old, aka ‘Buc-Ball’. The Bucs won 16-10 and defense ruled the day for Tampa Bay.

By Matt Loede

Tampa Bay’s Josh Freeman trimmed his hair and lost 20 pounds during the offseason, however the young quarterback’s makeover is far from complete.
The fourth-year pro reported to training camp feeling good about highly visible changes to his physical appearance. Now, he’s focused on making some adjustments on the field to improve his performance.
