My prediction

The Bucs are 4-0 wich is a very impressive stat. with 12 more games the Bucs have a very outside shot of a perfict season. Now I know what you are saying, "A perfiect season?" Well, here me out. For starters there are only two teams I belive could for sure beat the Bus, Indiana and Cincinati, but the Bucs are not scheduled to play either one. The Bucs will for sure be 6-0 in two weeks. The Jets and Dolphins are up, and they are having terrible years. The only team that will probaly beat themn on theri shcedule is Washington. Realisticly the bucs will be 13-3. Lets look at some players.

1. Obvisouly Carnell Williams. the first runningback in all of histroy to run for 100 or more yards in his first 3 games ever. This rookie will eventualy be one of the great QB and the Bucs can expect 90+ yards a game from him if he stays healthy.

2. Michael Pitman. Pitman was bumbed when Williams was picked up. When Williams was hurt Pitmans received for 96 yards, rushed for 30 and TD. So even if Williams is hurt we have a decent running option.

3. Mike Alstott. Alstott has be quiet this year letting Williams carry most of the work. This pure muscle half back is always good for at least 3 yards when pussing for the goal or first down. A very reliable player.

4. Joey Galloway. When Detroit decided to bring the safteys in to help stop Williams Galloway opened up receiving for 166 yards and a TD, he ever rushed for 4 yards on his one attempt. Galloway deep makes having a RB like Williams so much more effective.

5. Michael Clayton. Claytona had a great season last year and was the #1 offensive player for the Bucs. Now that he is #3 I think it says alot about the management of the team. Clayton has been quiet but I belive we will see more of him as teams try to stop Williams.

6. Brian Greise. This QB has been a pleasent surprise this year. Even though he had 3 interceptions Sunday, he threw over 300 yards for 3 TD's including an 80 yard connection with Galloway. Greise is great at scrabling and tossing. He seems at his best when a defence is rushing him. 2 of his 3 INT came on non rushed passes. He is still gettring his feel, but has proved his worth.

Now a confrence game vs washington seems certain for this team, and probaly a superbowl trip verse the Colts, but I doubt they will beat indiana. But hey it is the superbowl.

M C Coppin

P.S. Cornell Williams Shoes he wore thos first three games has already been put in the hall of fame.

My prediction for this year.
