WOW. Tampa was up 35-14 with less than 4 minutes left and they just tied the game. They scored 28 points in the fourth. Incredible.

Unbelievable. WOW!

OVERTIME? Only 35 seconds left.

It's official. Overtime in Tampa Bay. Incredible comeback.

GO BUCS, show them what good defense feels like.

Feels like 35 points in the 2nd half.

Great game. Payton Manning was throwing darts the second half. MNF needed this.

FilthyFinMavs · 10-07-2003, 03:14 AM

The greatest MNF game I have ever experienced.

it was a pretty awesome game...but hell, can't get much more exciting than the final few seconds of the cowboys/giants regulation that led to overtime

An amazing comeback, but that penatly on Tampa on this missed field gaol was such BS. He landd on his own player! Colts got lucky that they got another chance, but after that comeback, I can't say they don't deserve it.

Murphy3 · 10-07-2003, 08:07 AM

that's why the penalty was called..because he landed on his own player

dirno2000 · 10-07-2003, 08:13 AM

I didn't know that was a rule. I'm suprised it doesn't happen more often.

Murphy3 · 10-07-2003, 08:31 AM

you're not allowed to use your own player as any type of leverage...which include landing on your player

i believe that it's a poor interpretation of the rule in this instance, but..oh well

Ha! My brothers left my house bored just starting the fourth quarter. They said, as last monday "we don't have game".

I called them to their houses when it was tied and they had to watch the rest of the game without beer, cigars and pizza.

Big Boy Laroux · 10-07-2003, 09:37 AM

man, what a great game.

but like gruden said, it wasn't the penalty that lost the game for tampa.

I am so bummed out. I turned off the game at halftime.

I had too until I turned it on ESPN radio and it said that Colts scored, I ran in the living room, turned on the TV, and they recovered the onside kick. What a crazy game....

Big Boy Laroux · 10-07-2003, 05:11 PM

that onside kick was sweet. straight up in the air!

Nicky31 · 10-08-2003, 12:35 PM

This was a great game. Tampa Bay has lost twice so far on the season, and it seems that their special teams is being a weak spot on their team.

mary · 10-08-2003, 09:38 PM

Technically, the call at the end was correct. It's just a shame that in cases like this common sense can't be used by the officials. Obviously, actually landing on your teammate does not give you leverage. I certainly didn't know this would be considered Unsportsman-like Conduct and I'm certainly surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Murphy3 · 10-09-2003, 07:19 AM

the rule is also in place to help prevent injuries..not only to keep the defense from gaining an "unfair advantage"

mary · 10-09-2003, 09:14 AM

I'll accept that. It just seems the punishment should fit the crime.
