Tributes set emotional tone Anwar Richardson, The Tampa Tribune, published 12 September 2011 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers commemorated the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with an emotional pregame ceremony at Raymond James Stadium. TE Kellen Winslow, the final Tampa Bay player introduced, ran onto the field hoisting a large American flag. After a taped message from actor Robert De Niro appeared on the BucVision screens, "Taps'' was played to honor the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy. Everyone in the stadium remained standing as an American flag was unfurled that stretched the entire length of the football field before the singing of the National Anthem. A moment of silence also was held to honor the memory of Buccaneers Hall of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon, who died a week ago, two days after suffering a stroke. "That was really awesome,'' Winslow said of the pre-game activities. "I'm proud to play on this day. Once the game starts, it's like, boom, it's football time. It was a special day. We wanted to win for Lee Roy Selmon, too, but we didn't. We'll be fine. We'll get better. Nobody's panicking.'' Injury report Brian Price injured a hamstring early in the fourth quarter and didn't return. Josh Freeman cramped up in the third quarter while playing in 86-degree heat. "I sweat like crazy,'' Freeman said. "I probably should have gone to the I.V. at halftime, but I was pumping fluids the entire game, knowing I'm a heavy sweater.'' Division downer The NFC South, recognized as one of the best divisions in the league, went a combined 0-4 in Week 1. New Orleans kicked off the 2011 season by losing at Green Bay Thursday night. The Bucs were beaten by Detroit while Atlanta and Carolina each suffered road setbacks Sunday. "The only good thing out of this is everyone in our division lost,'' said Tampa Bay WR Mike Williams, who closed out the scoring with a 5-yard catch that saw him get both cleats down just before crossing the back of the end zone. "We basically have a new season of 15 games.'' Slow start For the 55th consecutive game, Tampa Bay's offense failed to score more than seven points in an opening quarter. The Bucs led 10-6 after the opening 15 minutes, but seven of those points came courtesy of an interception return by CB Aqib Talib. "We stressed all week that we have to start fast,'' Williams said. "We have proven we can go out and finish on anybody, but we have to start quicker. Our defense did its job with that touchdown, but we kept them on the field too long, especially in this heat.''
