NFC Wild Card Final Thoughts: New York Giants/Tampa Bay Buccaneers










I didn’t have the chance to post a preview for this game but if I had I would have picked the Bucs to win. Of course I would have been wrong thanks mostly to these three factors.

An efficient Eli Manning – Who would have thought that we’d use the word efficient when describing Eli Manning in the playoffs?

Free Agent Casualties

The NFL Free Agency period has officially begun and several veterans were shown the door as teams are making salary cap room. Among the notable names released were Ravens RB Jamal Lewis, Vikings QB Brad Johnson, Saints WR Joe Horn and Cowboys QB Drew Bledsoe and Steelers LB Joey Porter.

As far as who and going where and what teams are looking for here’s the latest NFL rumors.

The Miami Dolphins are looking to add an outside linebacker and possibly pick up yet another veteran quarterback. Among the players the Dolphins would consider are the New England Patriots' Tully Banta-Cain, Cato June of the Indianapolis Colts and Carlos Polk of the San Diego Chargers.

The quarterback the Dolphins are interested in is Kansas City’s Trent Green who is rumored to be on the trading block. Miami will part ways with Joey Harrington and with Culpepper’s health still a big question mark Green could walk into the starting QB spot in Miami with little or no competition.

The hatred between Randy Moss and the Green Bay Packers could be subdued because the Packers are very interested in acquiring Moss from the Oakland Raiders.

The New York Giants are definitely going to be in the market for Bills cornerback Nate Clements.

The Detroit Lions picked up a new running back on Thursday when they traded cornerback Dre’ Bly to the Denver Broncos for Tatum Bell. Now offensive coordinator Mike Martz may go after one of his former receivers in St. Louis, Kevin Curtis.

Dolphins Heading Across the Pond in 07

The Miami Dolphins will make NFL history this year when they play as the home team in the NFL’s first regular season game outside of North America.

Wembley Stadium is the most likely place to host the game but Miami’s opponent is still undecided. The New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills are the two possible opponents for the Dolphins with the Giants possibly being the most coveted.

Honestly I don’t see how any good can come out of this. It robs the season ticket holders of a game. It robs the Dolphins of home field advantage and with all the travel involved it could cost Miami the following week unless it was followed up with their bye.

Over the next 16 seasons, each of the NFL’s 32 teams will participate in a regular season game outside the United States.

Coaching Search Narrowed Down
The Dolphins have also narrowed down the coaching search to five candidates and while we don’t know all five names a few of them did leak out.

Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey, former Atlanta Falcons head coach Jim Mora Jr. and New York Jets defensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer are all being brought back for a second interview.

Who knows who candidates number four and five are but one of them could be current Miami defensive coordinator Dom Capers who just signed a new three-year contract over the weekend.
