TAMPA Had it not been for a disputed call in the game against the Dolphins last Sunday the Buccaneers could be riding their first win streak of the season as they hoist the undefeated Saints at Raymond James Stadium.

When Drew Brees was playing collegiate football at Purdue, his quarterbacks coach, Greg Olson , would take him to Indianapolis to watch the Colts' Peyton Manning and meet with him after games.

Franchise WR Antonio Bryant is ready to restart the season, and he's hoping to lead the Bucs to a miraculous finish.

Safety Tanard Jackson has certainly been making up for lost time. Jackson, suspended the first four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, has been one of the Bucs' biggest playmakers ever since he's returned.

Most football fans are aware of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' struggles this season.

Bucs CB Aqib Talib has been a newsmaker for many reasons other than his performance on the field, most recently for an exchange of words with coach Raheem Morris after missing curfew following the loss to the Patriots in London on Oct.

Defensive coordinator Jim Bates said putting pressure on Packers QB Aaron Rodgers on Sunday will be "as important as anything we do." Bates believes the line is coming off one of its better pass-rush performances.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib's absence from the early part of practice Wednesday was injury related.

A report came out by WDAE that during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trip to London to play the New England Patriots, some players, including cornerback Aqib Talib, missed curfew after the game.

This franchise in turmoil known as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has a poster child. He is Aqib Talib.

It took a trip across the Atlantic for Tom Brady and the Patriots to get their first road victory of the season.

The idea was out there that this would be a chance for Tom Brady's iconic status to be evaluated on a larger stage.

Four time zones. More than 4,400 miles. A continuing theme. That was the plight of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday as they traveled all the way to London, England for the opportunity to play a "home" game and take another step towards becoming the Detroit Lions of 2009, going an entire 16-game season without recording a single win.
