There was an interesting situation at the end of the game between the St. Louis Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs were down and driving looking for a game winning score.

With seconds left on the game, Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans caught a pass to bring the team to the St. Louis 32 yardline, well within striking distance. The only problem is that Evans was injured, and the Bucs had no time outs. So the referees were forced to run ten seconds off the clock, ending the game.

A crappy way for the game to end, but you can’t exactly blame Evans for getting injured either, right?

Wrong… that is sadly what some Bucs fans are doing.
