That's a good sign.

I do think the NFL and players will come to their senses before too long (unlike the NBA) and things will get settled.

IF so, this may be something of a benchmark year for the Bucs. I have a really good feeling about this time, and will be willing to eat my words I spewed out a couple of years back about the GM and Coach.

Always good to see when you have that many guys show up. Hopefully this is a good playoff run year for us! Cant wait till the lockout is done and can see what FA's if any we bring in.

This could be a breakout year for the Bucs with a few good pick ups and good health.

As of now, the Bucs are flying under most of the prognosticators radar.

Just watching last years team and how many analysts had us at the bottom. 10-6 record just barely missing the playoffs is a great sign for the team. I really feel they will make alot of noise this year and surprise many.

I was one of those that was saying 6-10.

LOL

You're right about the future if this team manages to stay mostly intact and healthy.

My biggest concern are the future FA acquisitions though, the Bucs can't afford to guess wrong if they want to continue the rise.
