Excitement mounting
So we're back in the playoffs, facing a team that was given a victory against us earlier in the season, on their home field, with a 5 game win streak.
The key to closing Tampa's season will be the overall health of Portis and Brunell. If Portis is 95% healthy and able to break off some early 5 or 6 yard runs, the field will open up for Santana Moss. If Brunell is 95%, Santana Moss and Chris Cooley should have big days. In fact, we need them to have big days. Our defense should be able to withstand the on again off again Bucs offense. It will be a matter of who can establish the run to open the pass.
