The Morning After Hill

The Pewter Plank Pregame Show

This week the Tampa Bay Buccaneers welcome in the Atlanta Falcons and we kick off the debut of our pregame show, getting you ready for all the days action. We don't have a guest this week, but we do have some grim news you already know: the secondary is terrible. We've been waiting for the game where the secondary costs the Bucs and it seems that this is finally going to be the week. We take a look at five keys to victory for the Bucs and look into whether or not the secondary will be able to hold up or if they're finally going to cost the Buccaneers a game they may have been able to win otherwise.

The Morning After Hill: Bucs 34, Chargers 24

The Buccaneers are on fire and have now won four of their last five games coming out of their bye week, putting them above .500 for the second time this season. Josh Freeman is continuing a streak of four games without throwing a pick, Doug Martin went off again on Sunday and the receivers all got in on the action as well. We had a punt block for a touchdown, an interception for a touchdown and everything is looking good. Except the Bucs playoff chances. In this episode of The Morning After Hill we discuss how great things are going, but how we all need to not get too ahead of ourselves with excitement as that might make us a little....youngry.

The Morning After Hill: Doug Martin Carries Bucs...Literally

Doug Martin is and will be the talk of the NFL for the next week, and rightfully so. The rookie turned in a 251 yard performance that saw him score 4 times, setting a new Buccaneers franchise record for yards gained in a single game. But there was more that went on in Oakland that needs discussing, and not all of it is positive. Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson had a great day, but the Bucs almost lost the game, and that's 100 percent on the defense.

The Morning After Hill: Bucs 28, Saints 35

This week, the Bucs were powered by a career day by Josh Freeman, who threw for 420 yards and more importantly zero interceptions, but it wasn't enough for Tampa to top the Saints and Drew Brees. We also discuss the "controversial" call at the end of the game but more importantly the ugly play calling that led to a 95-yard reception ending in as many points as Josh Freeman had interceptions and what exactly LeGarrette Blount's role is on this team.

The Morning After Hill

This week we break down the good, the bad and the ugly in the Buccaneers 38-10 blowout of the Kansas City Chiefs. Host Josh Hill discusses the great day defensively and talks about how a "home run" style of offense could cripple Josh Freeman's talents.
