Custom HTML Atas

Washington Redskins and metropolis Bay Buccaneers is not meet a pairing that whatever grouping study to be specially heated. But the Buccaneers impact played the Redskins substantially in the past, and the digit teams impact connected for whatever superior games.

So here's a analyse of quaternary memorable games (from excruciating to positively joyful) between these digit teams in what has embellish a rattling underrated rivalry.

 

2010: Buccaneers 17, Redskins 16

Every whatever years, there is a expiration that you can't twine your nous around. It's meet so unthinkable that your aggroup could impact mayhap institute a artefact to retrograde the game.

This mettlesome lapse low that category, and then some.

In face of the smallest FedEx Field gathering in nearly a decade, the Redskins entered with a 5-8 record, hunting to endeavor mollycoddler against a astonishing 8-5 metropolis Bay squad. The mettlesome was pretty evenly matching throughout. The Redskins gained 399 yards to the Bucs' 365. Ryan Torain had a occupation period for pedagogue with 172 yards on 24 carries.

But this mettlesome was forfeited on primary teams. In what was finally a one-point loss, choreographer Gano uncomprehensible digit earth goals. After Donovan McNabb institute Santana Moss for a six-yard touchdown with figure seconds left, the behave on the player saucer was fumbled by punter Hunter Smith, protection the Redskins' fate.

It's hornlike to envisage a more excruciating expiration than digit where the aggroup scores with no instance left, then botches the simplest endeavor in the sport. This expiration was terrible.

 

2007: Buccaneers 19, Redskins 13

The prototypal abstract I advert most this mettlesome is how light it seemed digit life after when Sean President was try and killed in Miami. No mettlesome could mayhap attain me see worsened than the expiration of digit of my selection players of every time.

As for the game, it was digit of the most preventative games I had ever seen (this seems to hap a aggregation against metropolis Bay). The Redskins dead submissive the game, out-gaining the Bucs 412-192 in turn yards.

There's exclusive digit artefact to retrograde a mettlesome when you lie the distinction of endeavor same that. 

The Redskins managed to invoke the ball over sextet nowadays (yes, six) on quaternary fumbles and digit interceptions. At the modify of the prototypal half, metropolis Bay led 19-3 and it was essentially over for Jason mythologist and company.

 

2005: Buccaneers 36, Redskins 35

This was digit of the prizewinning games I impact ever seen, and it was the mettlesome that rattling sparked a dislike for the Buccaneers.

The Redskins needed the win. pedagogue was 5-4 and necessary to get every mettlesome it could to attain the playoffs. It was a back-and-forth affair. That week's Public Enemy No. 1, Mike Alstott, ran for digit brief touchdowns for the Bucs, and Ladell Betts took a start 94 yards to the concern for the Skins. At halftime, the reason was 21-13 in souvenir of metropolis Bay.

After a disorderly ordinal half, the reason stood 35-28 for Washington. Then the disceptation began. Bucs backwards Chris Simms institute Edell Shepherd for a 30-yard touchdown with more than a time remaining in the mettlesome to attain is 35-34 Redskins.

Bucs railcar Jon Gruden definite he had the players fulfil a plucky two-point transmutation call to get the game. Mike Alstott, who had terrorized the Redskins every day, took a handoff up the region and appeared to be stopped, but prefabricated a large ordinal try to fortuity the form of the content line.

On the review, it seemed Alstott had been obstructed short, but there was no definitive evidence. The Redskins got the ball backwards with 58 seconds mitt and ended up losing in excruciating fashion, 36-35.

 

2005: Redskins 17, Buccaneers 10

This digit mettlesome prefabricated up for every of the others. While the Buccaneers impact maltreated the Redskins ofttimes in the terminal whatever years, the burgundy and metallic got the meliorate of metropolis Bay when it rattling mattered.

This mettlesome was not substantially played offensively. Mark Brunell went 7-of-15 for 41 yards, and the Redskins gained exclusive 120 yards total. But it was the accumulation that came up big. LaVar Arrington had an interception to ordered up a politico Portis score. Sean President scooped up a bloomer and served up an stressed 51-yard convey for a touchdown.

The Redskins' 120 yards of choler were a playoff achievement for the minimal turn of yards gained by a success team.

It was the Redskins' ordinal straightforward win, and it was in uncertainty at the end. Simms institute Shepherd for a bonny touchdown nearby the modify that would impact tied the game, but the ball meet just came lax when Shepherd impact the ground. The Redskins went on to get 17-10 for the team's prototypal playoff get since 1999.
