For a while, the pewter and red shone like a setting desert sun, almost so bright you'd have "to wear shades." Were it not for a careless hold or questionable pass interference call, the outcome could've been that of glory and the beginning of a season where an 0-3 start doesn't mean a thing.
What is certain is that there is now an 0-4 start. What else is certain is that our Bucs shall overcome. They will rally and show the world how to climb back out of a pit of ridicule and skepticism. And we will be there to welcome them back.

I bet the Bucs dislike the color yellow. I know Jon Gruden does. Maybe the Bucs could have come back late in the fourth if they did not commit stupid penalties.
The Bucs gave the game away by stopping the Broncos on third down then messing it up with a penalty. Don't blame this loss on Gruden or Brad Johnson or the defense. They lost this game and the three before it because they are just not as good a team as they were.

My Buccaneer prediction for 2005: After finishing the season 0-16, the Glazers fire Gruden and hire Clyde Christensen in hopes of juicing up the offense.
