Bucs On The Cusp Of History
October 24th, 2013
“I have the worst record in Bucs history, but I never lost seven straight home games.”
Bucs fans, there is a good reason to watch tonight’s Stinking Panthers-Bucs game (what, you want to watch those !@#$’n% greaseball BlowSux?). Modern Bucs franchise history is afoot.
No, really. This comes from none other than the Custodian of Canton, the great eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.
With a loss to the Stinking Panthers, the Bucs would, for the first time in 36 years, match a franchise mark that not even bumbling Leeman Bennett could accomplish.
With six consecutive home setbacks dating to last November, Tampa Bay could end the evening saddled with its first seven-game home losing streak since 1977.
Thirty-five seasons have passed since the 1977 club followed up the first win in Bucs history, a 33-14 victory at New Orleans, by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 17-7 in the season finale at Tampa Stadium.
At least when you are watching this game, you can tell your children’s children about it when they are sitting in your lap before the fireplace.
Look at the bright side. The losing should wane come January.

I’m really starting to question this organization’s commitment to winning!
October 24th, 2013 at 7:15 am
More negativity from JBF. You and Steve Deumig planning on wearing a paper bag over your heads at the game tonight?
October 24th, 2013 at 7:23 am
No way is Schiano going to let that happen. The weather is a changing and the times they are a changing. I feel an upset in the air. Bucs win 28-21!
October 24th, 2013 at 7:43 am
Splengo, Now THAT was funny.
October 24th, 2013 at 7:44 am
@ Splengo
Finally….thanks for some optimism….I hope you’re right….this really hurts me….it takes me back to 76-77.
Being laughed at on Johnny Carson etc.
I think the players will play very, very hard tonight.
October 24th, 2013 at 7:44 am
@ Splengo Shiano isn’t good enough to prevent it. The dude doesn’t even make 1/2 time adjustments.
October 24th, 2013 at 7:58 am
Lol @ Schiano won’t let it happen .. Just like how he didn’t let the first 6 get away

———–
again with this phenomenon about halftime adjustments – what’s so special about 12 min halftimes? Teams make adjustments THROUGHOUT the game based on the opponent (and don’t wait for halftime).

I feel sick. What should be a happy day for be a Buc fan. Is sure to be another seaquel to a on going nitemare. I can already feel the disappoint and anger I will feel while leaving ray jay tonight. What a waste of money thanks Schiano. You suck!!!!

November 11 is the anniversary of the last Buccaneers home win. We are closing in on one year.
October 24th, 2013 at 8:17 am
On the bright side going to the UofL USF game to see our future QB. Bridgewater will look good in Bucs jersey.
October 24th, 2013 at 8:40 am
I think we turn it around and get a win tonight also. I’ll say this though, if we get blown out and the boo’s are heard on a national broadcast. Team Glazer may jump in the mix and make a move….
October 24th, 2013 at 8:41 am
There’s my man Leeman…sporting a gold chain no less. If you took Bennett’s coaching prowess and mixed them with Perkin’s people skills…you’d have soon to be 0-7 Greggy Shiartano.
October 24th, 2013 at 8:43 am
Captain Buc…so your going to watch Louisville lose another game?
October 24th, 2013 at 8:47 am
Hey I know the man had his flaws and the team seemed to not be headed in the right direction but how can anyone in their right mind think we upgraded in coaching when we fired Jon Gruden and hired either of the last two clowns. Seriously?
October 24th, 2013 at 8:50 am
Skelly…I’ll be there tonight. Trust me I’ll have my boo out in full effect. The 3 guys next to me told me at the Philly game that they are making a banner that says Lovie for Head Coach. Not sure if I agree with them or not, and i hope they atleast wait until the 4th qrtr to raise it. I bringing a poster board that says, This Sucks! Of course I will wait to see if the Bucs are getting blown out or if they lose to raise it in the 4th. Perhaps the Glazers have binoculars…

These are the times when you need a sense of humor. Peppermint makes cod liver oil go down easier. Gotta take our medicine. May as we’ll take it like men!
October 24th, 2013 at 9:02 am
Buc1987… No way Louisville will lose to USF. Then again I said that about Tampa vs Jets.
October 24th, 2013 at 9:17 am
@Buc1987, a better sign would be “Chirp, Chirp, Sheridan”
October 24th, 2013 at 9:17 am
If you want seashells and balloons in your Bucs coverage, please bookmark Buccaneers.com.
Only a simpleton or a 12-year old girl would complain that a writer is too negative about an 0-6 team which has lost 11 of the last 12.
So, which one are you?
October 24th, 2013 at 9:25 am
You guys make me laugh sometimes. 28-21 Bucs? Our #1 offensive player is not playing tonight and some of you guys somehow think we’re going to do better? The Bucs lead the NFL in penalties per game and penalty yards per game and somehow this is all going to miraculously change tonight? You think this is going to be the game where Glennon has 4 TD’s or the defense is going to have two pick 6 against Cam Newton?
I want some of what you’re drinking.
October 24th, 2013 at 9:41 am
Unlike Joe, I am not hoping for the bucs to lose tonight. He probably already has the stories written.
I feel they are going to win tonight.
Glennon’s Progression has been great so far.
3 TD’s 25 yards rushing.
And a buc win.
October 24th, 2013 at 10:04 am
D-Rome,
Some of us are trying to make you laugh! Lol
October 24th, 2013 at 10:05 am
Sorry Jomama, but that D line will be shredding our O line…..other than Dotson, there wont be a number for Glennon to feel protected behind. Look for a lot of dinking and dunking, which he’s pretty good at.
We need special teams to come through for a bright spot….other than that (and Glennon short throw connections), Ive given up on everything else.
October 24th, 2013 at 10:06 am
BD wearing a paper bag over his head for tonight’s game? Not a chance, he’s not a Buc’s, not even close.
October 24th, 2013 at 10:06 am
its embarrassing hopefully bucs win tonight,
October 24th, 2013 at 10:08 am
“he’s not a Buc’s fan*”
Damn I need more coffee I can’t blame that one on the vodka. It’s only 10 a.m.
October 24th, 2013 at 10:11 am
Splengo…I knew you were being your usual sarcastic self with that prediction.
TBBF…don’t buy his optimism.
October 24th, 2013 at 10:29 am
Buc1987,
Haven’t heard your prediction yet! I did mean that. Go back and read my previous posts. I always pull for the Bucs. I know it’s counter-intuitive, because you’re right, I want Schiano run.
Nothing I have ever said or for that matter any of you have said makes us 0-6. Schiano doesn’t need my help to fail, he’s going a good job of that himself. It is what it is. But I will never wish my Bucs to fail.
Now you come out from under the porch long enough to make your prediction. Crickets!
October 24th, 2013 at 10:44 am
In fairness, most Bucs games at Raymond James Stadium haven’t been home games in quite a while.
October 24th, 2013 at 10:45 am
My prediction is season is over, we’re in a mess under this coach and gm….I’ll still pull for us to win tonight of course, but after being so friggin disappointed this year, I can actually say “I understand” if we lose tonight.
October 24th, 2013 at 11:13 am
Gonna bring a poster
” Hey Sheridan! I want my Coke!!”
Think I might bring a few tonight, if nothing pops up!
Hope there are still seats available!!
Lol.
Sad days

Morgan said, “again with this phenomenon about halftime adjustments – what’s so special about 12 min halftimes? Teams make adjustments THROUGHOUT the game based on the opponent (and don’t wait for halftime).”
When Geno Smith was asked on the NFL Network how the Jets turned the game around against the Patriots and won. Geno simply said, ” We made some half time adjustments.”

I am confident that Schiano will lose this game.
