WEEK 3 THOUGHTS -- AHEAD -- & AFTER THE GAME

I've always said how fluky the beginning of the season is. Especially Game 1. It's amazing to think how bad we've looked and that we still have a good shot at being tied for the division lead next week. Bucs face the great googly moogly Chefs and we face the Cards that seem overrated and we've for some reason had their number.

I know past 'got their number' stories mean nothing but if you'd been on an island and came back to hear: "After the first quarter of the season, the Bucs and Panthers are tied for the division lead, both having won their division games," you'd think, "Wow! My Panthers must be playing great!"
